Tucson Real Estate Market Still Doing Well
Tucson Real Estate Market:
Some
folks were concerned that the housing market would
have problems once the tax credit came
to a halt on April 30th, 2010. Not Tucson, There were 1,181 closings in May 2010, that is a 21% increase over May of 2009.
Months of Inventory (MOI) was below six! MOI was 5.8, down from 7.0 in ...May 2009. A six month inventory usually indicates a stable market. Have a great day, Tony Ray

Our Blogger in Europe! Boy Have We Gone Global.
Did you know that I am vacationing in Europe?
Sweet! My junior year in high school I set a goal to make this trip, so I got a job and saved money. Budgeting is one of the
most useful skills I have acquired from my mum. As expected, a multitude of my peers’ Euro trips were over the summer
after graduation. I worked that summer and a couple years later, here I am. For the first few nights I have been staying with my mum in this little Hotel
Nord et Champagne. Authentic is the first word that comes to mind. And I’m not talking about the surrounding quaint
restaurants that serve snails like they’re cheese. I slept in a bed below the window, which we would keep open during
the rains. Falling asleep there was wonderful.A full submersion
in the culture taught me a few things. There is a misconception that the French dislike Americans. I experienced tourists
whose expectations were not met and automatically created this stereotype. I spent an hour on a train listening to an American
couple that complained endlessly about gypsies and sanitation… the list goes on. The thing is that the citizens of
France lead lives just as any other citizen in the world. Every culture is different, and I hope you would agree that the
unique perspectives could teach observers a lot about life in general.For example, I was caught off guard when a woman accidentally bumped into me on the street  and kept bookin’ it. In Tucson, I have learned to always apologize
and excuse myself in similar situations. But getting around to thinking about it, people living in a city as industrious as
Paris don’t have time to talk to every single person they might brush arms with. Very much like NYC. Is that rude, or
its it practical? Once I conversed with more locals, I realized it was practical.One of the more strange things I noticed was that others were very uncomfortable and/or avoided eye contact. Oddly
enough, I find this to be practical as well. In America, greeting a person is nonchalant and impersonal. You ask how their
day is going, and expect a straightforward response. “Good, and yourself?” If “Ummm, well I had a difficult
time getting the kids out of bed this morning and because they were late for school, I am going to have to call an administrator,”
were your response, it would make the stereotypical American feel awkward. Perhaps just as awkward as the people I tried to
make eye contact with in France.There is so much judgment
passed and unfriendly encounters make others feel equally dissatisfied. Interestingly enough, speaking English was another
sore spot. But I relate the situation to the frustration with immigration laws in America. How irritated do you get when a
person is speaking Spanish solely? Same situation- I am visiting their home and I shouldn’t expect them to conform to
American culture. If the citizens of the world could take a step back and think about the respect others deserve, perhaps
there would be less discord.

The Real World: Tucson
A few days ago, I was driving my friend to her car from a surprise birthday party. In the dark of night, I pulled
up and parked next to her car. Before she could get out of the car, I decided to confront her with a social issue. Three minutes
into me drowning on, we turned to see that the dome light in her car turned was on.  A man opened the rear passenger-side door and got out of the car. We fell
silent and I giggled nervously and inquired about her booty-call. Without turning to look at me, she said, "I think he
just robbed my car." I will never forget his face as he watched us. He walked backwards, facing us, to an alley a few
yards away. We panicked and I drove us to a circle K.
Needless to say, there was  at least one cop there at midnight. He followed me back to my friend's car
like it was an investigatory situation. I don't even remember parts of the night, I was so scared.
But the popo
explained that if he were robbing her car, he would have been in the drivers seat and certainly not in the back. Not to mention
the fact that her car was empty and he didn't do any damage to or steal anything. It hadn't occurred to me that he had been
waiting for her to get into the car; I thought he was trying to rob her. While going on his rant, he gave us two very crucial tips. The first tip was obvious. Walk in pairs or groups at
night. These occurrences are far less seldom than most realize. Believe me, I thought it was unnecessary till that night,
but she may have been in a very dangerous situation had she walked to her car alone.
Second tip was to keep your
doors locked. She didn't lock hers. You wouldn't think there would be a reason to lock your doors other than to protect material
items. Fail. There could be a predator hiding in the backseat.
The part that intrigued me was the cop's advice
to lock your doors even when you're driving. I hadn't thought about that, but what happens when you stop at a light and aren't
paying attention because you're trying to grab a napkin for the coffee you spilled on your lap? Potentially, not good things.The thing is, why even take the risk? Why not spend the total of
ten seconds locking the doors to your car and chill with a friend while you're walking around at night? It isn't a challenge
and it can save your life. You wouldn't believe it unless it happened to you and I would rather it didn't. Please be safe.
The last tip we got from the popo was to CALL 911 if you are uncomfortable in any situation.
peace.love.ariana.
