We’re In The National Spotlight! A recent Forbes.com article sighted that Phoenix was one of the best cities to buy a home. “While the majority of the nation’s housing markets are still working toward a bottom, some cities are boasting fundamentals that make them good places to buy a home now.” In addition to Phoenix, the article also sighted Los Angeles, Denver, Boston and San Diego. How did Forbes.com determine that Phoenix was a best place to buy now? The article says, “First, we examined the number of ZIP codes with 25% of the area’s sales to determine those in which activity is most evenly distributed. Next, we examined increase and decrease in price per square footage to determine where market value is the highest. Last, we looked at transaction rates in each city to determine where the housing markets are most active. We scored each city by category, and then combined the scores to determine the final ranking.” _________________________________________________________

Hot Real Estate Listings
Ahh, the dog days of summer. You’ve just spent a long day in the sun or are stuck in traffic on your way home from work with the air conditioning wearing thin. What would tingle your taste buds and elevate your spirits? Hot weather doesn’t have to lead to iced tea, beer or fancy cocktails. An easy-sipping, preferably chilled, glass of wine is just what the desert-survival doctor ordered. The consensus among wine connoisseurs is that light wines with a touch of sweetness and effervescence best offset the heat. Poolside, Mark Tarbell of Tarbell’s Restaurant in Phoenix serves his friends Nivole Moscato d’Asti… frozen. Clever! For those dedicated red wine drinkers, Tarbell suggests a chilled Coldstream Hills Pinot Noir. When it hits triple digits he likes, “a chilled, well-made Rose like the Rosato di Sangiovese from Iron Horse or Chateau de Pibarnon,” and serves them with salumi, an antipasto of Italian-style cured meats.

LOBSTER CEVICHE WITH BUTTER LETTUCE Lobster Mix Ingredients: 3 oz. lobster, chunked 1 Tbs. mango, chunked
SUMMERTIME AND THE LIVIN’S GETTIN’ EASIER Summertime conjures up the idea of relaxing and celebrating. What better way than with sparkling wine (aka Champagne). Save on the expense of a premium Champagne and mix a bit of sweetness with an inexpensive brand. Try these refreshing beverages: • Classic Champagne Cocktail – Soak a sugar cube in bitters, then pour Champagne over cube and add a twist of lemon. • Mimosa – Mix 1:5 of freshly squeezed orange juice to Champagne and add a touch of Triple Sec. • Bellini – Mix 1:4 of peach syrup to Prosecco and garnish with ripe peach slices. • Kir Royale – Add a dash of Crème de Cassis to any Champagne.
1 Tbs. red onion, diced 1 Tbs. cilantro & jalepeno, minced 1 Tbs. avocado, chunked 1-1.5 oz. soy citrus sauce 6 butter lettuce cups Procedure: Combine first six ingredients in mixing bowl and mix well. Place approximately 1 oz. mix per butter lettuce cup.
Jeff Jones from Bacchus Wine Made Simple at Kierland Commons recommends a Prosecco, Il Mionetto (the Italian version of Champagne). The bottle in itself is fun – a bowling pin shape with a beer cap closure. Trader Joe’s Summer Guide 2009 suggests their Louise d’ Estree brut sparkling wine, a blend they recommend pairing with a baguette, strawberries and some French brie. Not in the mood for bubbles? Go for a Riesling and serve with salad and fish. Food & Wine magazine’s August pick is the 2007 Dr. Loosen Riesling Kabinett Bernkasteler Lay. Tarbell agrees with the Dr. Loosen choice and also likes anything from the Terry Thiese selections.
Sauce Ingredients: 1/4 part yuzu (Japanese citrus juice) 1 part ponzu (Japanese sauce) 1/2 part soy sauce (lite) Procedure:

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Drizzle over assembled lettuce cup. Add caviar and lobster claw as garnish if desired. Serve chilled. As most real estate investors are aware, the IRS Code 1031 allows for the exchange of investment property to defer the capital gain tax and preserve their equity. In lieu of an actual “sale”, the 1031 exchange allows you to relinquish and acquire property through the use of a third party intermediary. A “Qualified Intermediary” such as IPX 1031 in Phoenix is one such company that specializes in real estate exchanges. When exchanging property, there are several guidelines and restrictions that must be met. David Tornell, Account Executive and Certified Exchange Specialist at IPX 1031, explains. “One of which is that the property you’re exchanging must be classified as an investment. Your personal residence or personal use property, such as a second home, does not qualify. Likewise, the property you are acquiring must also be an investment property.” However, there is great news for property owners that want to exchange their investment properties for a personal residence! In fact,
many investors hold multiple properties and have earned quite a bit of equity. It’s those property owners that might be thrilled to learn that they can finally exchange those for the home of their dreams! “While you cannot exchange from an investment property into a primary or personal use property, an investor can exchange into a property that they can then convert into their primary residence,” Tornell explains. Known as Revenue Procedure 2008-16, the IRS has made this process simple, easy and perfectly legal! As you can imagine, the IRS has created some rules and restrictions. Here is a simple explanation of how it works: 1. Property owner sells their investment property and buys a primary residence through a 1031 exchange. 2. After the exchange, the property must be rented for at least 14 days during each of the two years after the exchange. There is no guideline that states that it can’t be rented to trusted friends. Family members, however, do not qualify.
Jazz Attack Celebrity Theatre, Aug. 7th 602.267.1600 or celebritytheatre.com If jazz is your passion, Jazz Attack is right up your alley. These three jazz connoisseurs, Rich Braun, Jonathan Butler and Richard Elliot, join forces to bring you a sensational show. Their unique styles of eclectic and smooth jazz combine to make quite a musical experience. Spiked Desert Botanical Garden, Aug. 13th 480.941.1225 or dbg.org It’s a summer vacation, without having to go far from home. Spiked brings you a different beach destination each month this summer, with August’s beach theme as Arctic Beach. For your entertainment, DJs D.K. Strickler and Rani G. will be spinning the hits all evening long. Dance your way over to the bar and try the delicious cocktail showcased for the evening, the Mudslide! Eddie Griffin Tempe Improv, Aug. 14th-15th 480.921.9877 or tempeimprov.com You may have seen Eddie in one of his many comedic and dramatic movie rules such as Date Movie, John Q. and Armageddon. Now here is your chance to see his live comedy that started it all. His quick wit and hilarious topics will keep you laughing through the entire show. You don’t want to miss this special appearance. Arizona Opera Film Series: La Boheme Phoenix Art Museum, Aug. 23rd 602.257.1222 or phxart.org The Arizona Opera is teaming up with the Phoenix Art Museum this summer to bring you three great films that directly relate to their 09-10 opera season. La Boheme is the tale of 19th century bohemians who are rich in life and friendship, but poor on funds. The love between poet Rodolfo and seamstress Mimi is captivating! This famous opera is what inspired the ever popular musical Rent. Celebrity Waiter Night Morton’s, Aug. 24th 480.951.4440 or mortons.com What a dream come true for all you sports fans. Not only will you get the opportunity to meet some of the Arizona Cardinals such as Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald, but they will be serving your dinner too! Guests will enjoy a cocktail reception with silent auction followed by a fabulous four-course meal. This wonderful evening is in support of the Carol Fitzgerald Memorial Fund, Larry Fitzgerald’s personal charity. This program raises money for urban education, breast cancer and HIV/AIDS awareness.
3. For the first two years, the property owner can not reside in it for more than 14 days each year. 4. After that, the property is theirs to use as they like! As an added benefit, they can sell their former primary residence and use their Home Gain Exclusion (up to $500,000 for a married couple) to pay off the loan on their “dream home.” “Beginning the 1031 exchange process is simple,” Tornell says. “Inform your Realtor that you want to do a 1031 exchange. They will make sure the correct language is in the contract. When you open escrow, give your Qualified Intermediary such as IPX 1031 a call. In a matter of minutes, they will coordinate with escrow and make sure the exchange agreement is in place prior to close of escrow.”
