Here we are in the seaon of Fall, October 8, 2020...and our temperature is a high of 101 degrees.  Welcome to Tucson!  You know what they say? "It's a dry heat!" This is so true, but I gotta say that it would be so nice to just walk out my back door and take a dunk in my own private pool.  Well, that is just what the owners of this beautiful home do and it is exactly why they bought this house in 2016.

They are ready to down size now, but they are really going to miss their pool. 

In fact, the whole backyard is a dream! There is a lovely vegetable garden, a covered ramada, real grass and a perfect workshop/shed (proudly named, "Papa's Old House").

Oh and a great view of what is called, "Cat Mountain"; a beautiful peak in the Tucson Mountain Range. As blogger Phillip Mueller says*, "Cat Mountain provides a stunning southern backdrop to an area of Tucson known as Starr Pass. At the southeastern edge of Tucson Mountain Park, it shoots out of the desert floor like Starr Pass' own Rock of Gibraltar." 

So, here you go...a beautiful home that has everything you need...4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2054 square feet, a pool, a great location.  I don't know about you, but I am suddenly in the mood to float in a pool!  Take a look today and check out the video of the listing!

Thanks for stopping by!

Civano is truly a wonderful place to live in Southern Arizona!

Here is a list of activities that the Civano HOA offers all neighbors (a very mutigenerational neighborhood!)

Holiday party

New Year’s Eve party

Easter Egg Hunt

July 4th parade

Oktoberfest

There are multiple informal groups, too.

Civano Tykes-a group for parents with younger kids.  They meet up for playdates, etc.

Monthly mom's night (without kids).  We chat, gossip and eat junk food

Monthly book clubs

Card game groups

Coffee groups twice a week

(all of these occur in the Civano community center-Rotunda)

Monthly concert series

Art shows

You can look back at the older calendar dates on HOA website to see all the groups that are scheduled to meet every month (before the Covid shutdown).

The community center has a hair salon, chiropractor, counselors, a music lessons/school, a bakery (which is super yummy), a massage studio, and a dentist (just to name a few). There is also an awesome ballet studio, a full day spa and two bed and breakfasts right on the main street of Civano Blvd.

It is truly an amazing place to live.  We have raised our daughters here and the schools are fantastic, the kids actually play outside together, and all the neighbors look out for one another no matter if they are single, or parents, or retired folks.  We have always felt safe here, too.

So, I will step down off my soapbox and hopefully you will really love it here, too! (I have a feeling you will!)

Best wishes,

BEST WAYS TO MAKE YOUR HOME APPEAL TO POTENTIAL BUYERS

When the time comes to sell your home, there’s a lot that needs to be done. Many people get too overwhelmed and scared by the whole process. However, trying to make your home more appealing to potential buyers isn’t as complicated as it sounds at first. Here are some suggestions that might help take the edge off.

Don’t be subjective

The number one rule when trying to make your home more appealing to potential buyers is to avoid being biased. Try to objectively view the situation and understand the market and what sells. Don’t let your personal taste interfere with what the potential buyers will see.

A great way to do this is to ask someone who’s been in the business for a while. Taking advice from your real estate agent or broker is a good route to take. And there are surely some ways that you can let your own style shine through without it being overpowering. Balance is key.

Selling a lifestyle

Something that you should be aware of when looking to make your home seem more appealing to potential buyers, is that they’re looking for a place that’ll feel special. They want to come into that home and see themselves in the rooms, to be able to picture their everyday lives inside. This means that you need to find a way to not only sell a house but a home and a lifestyle.

You can do this in a number of ways but the best way is to know your target clientele. If you live in a neighborhood that’s filled with physically active and health-oriented residents, make an impromptu home gym. If you’re selling your home to young parents, make it kid-friendly. Going that extra mile will surely pay off.

Keep it simple

Try to make your home seem as minimalist as possible. This doesn’t mean that it should look empty. Luckily, minimalism is in style, so you won’t need to do much to make your home more appealing to buyers. Make a few styling choices and stick to them. Keep all the colors neutral. This will give off a fresh and clean look, while not determining in which direction the design is going. It’s like creating a blank canvas that’s appealing at the same time.

Make sure to store anything that causes clutter so that you make your whole home more appealing. You want them to be able to approach every room freely.

Work smarter, not harder

Trying to outdo yourself is a virtue, no doubt about it. However, another quality that comes in really handy when trying to succeed in something is knowing how far to go. It’s one thing to put effort into something, and a complete other to overdo it.

Virtual staging is a great way to make your house more appealing to potential buyers while not doing too much. This form of presentation is becoming more and more popular, especially during the fight against COVID-19. There are great programs that you can use to showcase the diversity of your home. You can also hire a professional to get this done for you if you would like the help.

It’s a process

Trying to make your home more appealing to potential buyers is a process. Fortunately, you can always make changes as you go along. Don’t dwell on your mistakes.

Any way you choose to style, renovate or stage your home, just remember to be patient and trust the experts. Your agent is there as a guide and can help make your home a shining star for potentials buyers.
