Sun City Grand Real Estate & Arizona Retirement Communities Blog by Leolinda Bowers

As a full-time resident in Sun City Grand, I am extremely excited to announce that Sun City Grand residents no longer have to take their other recyclable items to the fire station.  Presently, Parks and Sons picks up newspaper only for recycling and residents take their other recyclable items to the fire station.

Parks and Sons has just announced that beginning October 1, 2009 the following materials will be added to curbside recycling: aluminum, boxes, cardboard, plastic (1 & 2) and glass.  Collection days will remain the same.  Just place your recyclables at the curb no later than 6:00 on the collection day.  Your cardboard box or reusable container will not be taken.  Set the recyclable items at the end of your driveway on the opposite side of your underground can. Residents do not have to sort or separate recyclables from one another.

Parks and Sons donates a considerable amount of recycling revenue to charitable organizations such as Meals on Wheels, Interfaith, Wide Side Food Bank, Hospice of the Valley and Sun Valley Animal Shelter.

The best news is that there will be no additional charge to Sun City Grand residents!

This is the lowest inventory of homes for sale in Sun City Grand since March, 2008.  Home sales remained constant again last week.  Homes that show well, have the right upgrades, and are priced well, sell the quickest.  Prices remain deflated.  It has been a busy summer season since buyers are looking and buying this summer.  Even in the 115 degree weather there are lots of potential buyers looking, and most are buying in preparation for their retirement or for the upcoming fall/spring season. 

Sun City Grand real estate sales are remaining constant. The number of new listings are beginning to correlate to the total number of listings closed/sold. This may possibly be an indication of a market upswing. The number of total listings are relatively low considering the market standards. Homeowners are considering accepting contingency offers (contingent on the buyer's home closing). This means that buyers have already sold their property and are purchasing the new property when the sold property closes.

There is 36 weeks of market inventory, the time that it will take to sell off all properties at the current rate of sale.
