Amante at Verde Sante Fe, Verde Santa Fe - Don't take my word for it - compare this beautiful golf course home with all the others. This is one great buy. Lovely finishes with many extras, and a price that's seriously the best per square foot of any home with golf course frontage, and better than many listings on interior lots. FOR EXAMPLE AS OF 10/9/08 in Amante AVERAGE price per sq ft for ALL Active listings: $171.66; our price: $148.89 per sq ft! Why settle for less when you can get this kind of location and quality of finishes at this price?! ***** This is the Fresco floor plan - in my opinion the most liveable plan in Amante - with a terrific kitchen layout, large master suite, split bedrooms, and extra large laundry/utility room. Great Room with gas fireplace and (of course!) views. The custom patio has been extended with old-world style pavers, adding charm and a wonderful outdoor living space.

Come to Sedona and join in celebrating one of our most enduring traditions, Sedona Jazz on the Rocks, which has kicked off Sedona's fall season of events since 1981. It starts today, but if you don't have your tickets yet, not to worry - they're still available and the Festival runs through Sunday with events scheduled daily from September 23rd - September 28th, 2008. There are happenings for jazz lovers of every age, inclination and budget, from a documentary film tonight at Harkins Theatre, to Art Walks and a Free Concert at Tlaquepaque, several Jazz in the Schools events, a Free Clinic with Kenny Werner, Jam Sessions, Dancing (Ballroom anyone? Funky Jazz?), and numerous Dining-with-Jazz opportunites from hors d'oeuvres to multiple dinners to a Sunday Jazz Brunch with Jeff Baker "one of the best male vocalists in the Jazz world today" at the Hilton Sedona.
And let's not forget the centerpiece, the all-day Jazz Fest on Saturday on the beautiful grounds of the Radisson Poco Diablo Resort kicked off by the Sedona Jazz on the Rocks Youth Band.
A word here about SJOR's mission: they are dedicated to preserving Jazz as a living art form through the many educational programs and performances they offer, not just during the Sedona Jazz on the Rocks Festival, but throughout the year.
Headliners this year include the Tony Monaco Trio, Cinco de Moio & Salome, Giacomo Gates and Bobby Hutcherson. A rich cornucopia of other jazz artists are on hand for the sampling during the festival's other offerings, including the several free events: Sedona Celebrates Sedona Jazz showcases eight great local jazz bands on Wednesday from noon to 6:00pm at Tlaquepaque's Patio del Norte and there are two free Art Walks with more local jazz artists Friday & Saturday (including my talented colleague in real estate, Rosemary Chavez with Jazz a la Mode on Friday's program).
For more information visit the official Sedona Jazz on the Rocks website or call 928-282-1985.
If you just can't make it this year, mark your calendar for next year's Jazz Fest: September 22-27, 2009.

| Re: Project: Rebuilding New Orleans Green
In reviewing these projects I was struck by the breadth and scope of the offerings. For the purpose of these funds, I felt that the Rebuilding New Orleans Green project had the necessary components for me to put it in first place on my list, and not because other projects were not also worthy.
I do think that charity begins at home, and that this project not only meets that benchmark but also addresses more than one burning issue: 1) it will help our neighbors in New Orleans on the long road to recovery 2) it promotes green building and sustainability, which need to be high on our list of priorities as individuals, as a nation, and as members of the global community and 3) it would bring a welcome private funds augmentation to already-strained government funding of the gulf area. It also speaks to the American dream of homeownership.
I am not from New Orleans or the Gulf Coast, but visited there in November 2006 with the NAR Convention. My colleague and I stayed an extra day to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity at the Musician's Village, and were apalled by the level of devasation still apparent more than a year after Katrina.. I understand that there is still much to be done. New Orleans is a unique American city, and we would lose so much by not preserving it.
Other great causes such as Alzheimer's education and research (which I support personally) and Kiva.org (which was new to me but of all these projects seems the most innovative and has tremendous potential) are already well into the top 5 (#1 & #2 respectively). Another that has merit is the project studying generic drugs (although I personally try to avoid synthetic remedies wherever possible). Their logic is sound.
Green Building, sustainability, the environment and New Orleans need our attention RIGHT NOW.
If you agree, you can vote here...or browse for another project to support. If you are not an American Express cardholder, you can still enjoy learning about these projects, and if you know a cardmember please share this with them.

I just received an e-mail from a gentleman with this brief but rather broad question that's on the minds of many who have been considering Sedona for relocation, retirement or investment: Is the Sedona Market Correcting?
The short (and broad) answer is: YES.
Here's the rest of the picture:
Prices have softened considerably all over Sedona and the Verde Valley area and have fallen quite a bit from the dizzying heights reached at the peak of the buying frenzy. Prices are still going down due to higher than normal levels of inventory and higher than normal levels of distressed properties (short sales and foreclosures) across a broad range of price points. The rate of decline has slowed somewhat since the beginning of the year, from an average of roughly 2 percent in January to about 1 1/2 percent in June. It will be interesting to see what the fall market brings, typically a busy period in Sedona and the surrounding Verde Valley communities of Cottonwood, Cornville, Camp Verde, Lake Montezuma and Rimrock. We are seeing inquiries and showings start to pick up.
There are types of property and neighborhoods where this downward market trend is more evident than others. In general, land is very soft (residential lots experienced the highest appreciation of any property type during the boom years and sales in this sector are somewhat stagnant) and certain communities and price ranges where there was heavy investing have been hit harder, partly by the higher than average volume of sales during the boom period and partly by higher than average levels of default as investors who hadn't planned on the possibility of market fluctuations found themselves unable to 'flip' or in some cases even rent homes. All of these factors have impacted Sedona market statistics. and will continue to for some time.
For trends in specific neighborhoods or property types, please give me a call. Demand is higher in certain cases and homes that fit those buyers needs are selling more quickly.
If you're looking to buy, I think your best window of opportunity will probably come over the next 6-10 months. Prices for entry-level homes have opened the doors to many who where shut out by the previous market, and those buyers who have been waiting to buy that perfect 'dream' retirement or vacation home would be well advised to snap it up when they come across it. Investors who are looking to hold for long-term investment should also take a closer look. There are some juicy bargains!
It's a good time to be a buyer in Sedona, the best we've seen in many years. I understand that interest rates just edged down again as well. It's hard to say how long that will be the case.
If you're looking to sell, the fact is that the competition is tough and you must compete aggressively on price and condition as buyers have much to choose from. If you don't have to sell, I would suggest waiting.
If you do need to sell, be prepared to be realistic, look at the facts and rely on your Realtor's® advice regarding pricing in particular. We want you to make top dollar for your home, but overpricing in a market such as this one results in substantially longer market times - and can spell disaster for your bottom line.
As in all things "where there is a will, there is a way", and being properly informed is the start. Contact me for the latest Sedona Market Statistics and Verde Valley Market Statistics.
