Scottsdale Road, Suite#1003 Scottsdale, AZ 85253 February/March, 2012 www.PeggyRauchGroup.com Spring is almost here!!! Flowers are blooming, temperatures rising and so is the real estate market! Housing inventory is still low with only 16,157 active listings in Maricopa County as opposed to 38,039 that were active the same time last year. There are currently 12,284 Pending listings and 12,703 homes have sold already this year. Last month we were at 6,626 homes that had sold so far this year so in one month we have almost doubled in sales! Scottsdale has 2,410 homes for sale and Paradise Valley only 309 homes on the market. This is good news to those of you who are considering putting your home on the market. Buyers are serious and the market is stabilizing and slightly moving upwards. There is no better time to buy or sell with our current market conditions and interest rates. Please call me to discuss any of your real estate needs. I am optimistic about this year and hope to keep the energy going by helping ARIZONA CENTENNIAL In honor of Arizona’s Centennial celebration, we offer the following fascinating Arizona facts Arizona became the 48th state and last of the contiguous states on Feb. 14, 1912 Arizona has more than 26 peaks that are more than 10,000 feet in elevation Arizona’s disparate climate can yield both the highest temperature across the nation and the lowest temperature across the nation in the same day RESTAURANT REVIEW Did you ever eat at Richardson’s on 16th and Bethany Home before it was burned down? If you did then you remember how completely fabulous the food was. Great news!! Richardson’s has opened again adjacent to Rokerij (his other restaurant) at 16th and Maryland. The inside of the restaurant is an exact replica of the original restaurant—talk about déjà vu!!! The outdoor patio is one of the best I have seen—an enormous outdoor bar, banquet seating, fireplaces, shade trees and awnings, individual dining tables—all in a lush garden setting. The food, is every bit as fabulous as it used to be. Some of my very favorites are the Red Chile Angel Hair with 3 huge bacon wrapped shrimp, the Roasted Garlic Plate and the Relleno Plate which is a choice of green pork chile, smoked turkey, beef or cheese. They also have incredible pizzas all with a Southwest flair and don’t miss the Green Chile Potato. Sunday Brunch is not to be missed with such offerings as Eggs Benedict Jalapeno, Green Chile Meatloaf and Eggs and Tenderloin Benedict and much, much more!!! Sharing the patio with Richardson’s is Rokerij (pronounced ro-ker-ee) the sister restaurant. The patio is actually shared by the two restaurants which creates a real “happening” atmosphere. Some of my favorites on Rokerij’s menu include Rokerij’s Chipotle Ribs, Crab Tostada’s, Mexico City Ceviche or Michael’s favorite—Steak Tartare. South Mountain Park/Preserve in Phoenix is the largest municipal park in the country If you haven’t been there yet, go now, especially before it gets too warm to enjoy the patio. Great for lunch or dinner. Casual or dressy—It works either way. Great Service Fabualous Food!!!! If you cut down a protected species of cactus in Arizona, you could spend more than a year in jail I’ve now made myself so hungry that I wonder if I could get a table this evening. A Saguaro cactus can store up to nine tons of water The two largest manmade lakes in the U.S. are Lake Mead and Lake Powell – both located in Arizona "“I’m pulling it out of the bunker.
