Hey Dude!

Today, “dude” means something like “bro” or “bud”. But that wasn’t always the case.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the word had a different slang meaning. Back then, a “dude” was an urbanite. When ranches in the west opened up to the tourism business they were called guest ranches, or “dude ranches”.

There are “dude ranches” in many of the western states. Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and of course Arizona. Tucson is home to 11 dude ranches. Take a look what they offer to their guests…….Dudes!

Restaurants and bars are starting to re-open as are many more stores. With “social distancing” of course. Golf courses have been open, but one person per cart, unless its your wife. Or best buddy. Your choice.

The University of Arizona is planning to resuming in-person classes this fall semester. But with classes cut in half. Its an attempt to ensure students maintain suggested distancing guidelines.

Unfortunately, events and popular attractions continue to be cancelled or postponed. Professional sports are being scheduled, but without fans in the stands.

That’s it for now.

Considering A Home In Tucson, AZ?

Are you thinking of buying a home in the greater Tucson area? Finding the right home can be a challenging process. But we can make the process much less stressful for you.

We have been Tucson Realtors since 2002. We know Tucson and the Tucson Real Estate market. As a top Realtor duo, we invest the time to understand your home buying interests and desires. At our first meeting, we will review the current real estate market with you. Show you the market data and then walk you through the Arizona home buying process.

Interested in new construction? We’ll brief you on buying a new construction home. And what’s unique about the process.

Thinking About Selling Your Home In The Greater Tucson Area?

Selling a home requires more than listing it in the Tucson MLS system. It’s about marketing. Marketing through multiple online channels.

To no one’s surprise, 80% of home buyers start their search on the internet. Homes must be visible on multiple internet channels. The more visible a home is, the faster it will sell.

And the photos on the mls make a difference. You can spend lots of money on home staging, but if the photos aren’t great it doesn’t matter. Staging and stunning photos make it all come together.

For luxury listings, our drone service provides video of your home and neighborhood. This video along with professional photos helps the online buyer see and feel your home. Their “new” home.

To learn more about how we can help you sell your Tucson home, call us – 520-940-4541 – to arrange a meeting. We will visit your home and prepare a comparative market analysis.

Then we will meet with you to review our analysis. We will go over our Comparative Market Analysis for your home in detail. And the review our marketing program to “get your home sold!”

Our Tucson Real Estate Newsletter April 2020 – Gardening Tips for May

Water: Adjust drip schedule to morning watering. Instead of more water at once, increase number of days. This time of year even the native plants need supplemental water.

Plant: Heat-tolerant plants (salvia, verbena, cacti & agave). Also plant trees like Mesquite or Palo Verde.

Fertilize: Palms with palm fertilizer. Citrus at the end of May.

What’s Happening Around Tucson

Events have been cancelled or postponed at this time.

But here is a thought.

May is the time of year when our saguaros get their blossoms. The saguaro is the largest cactus in the United States and per capita, Tucson has the largest population of saguaros. So hop in the car and drive through Saguaro National Park – East Or West.
