ASK JUDY YOUR REAL ESTATE QUESTIONS Dear Judy: Should I rent or buy? I will be moving to the Quad Cities area next month. With so few homes for sale and the prices so high, I am reluctant to just purchase a home when I really don’t know the area and would have to bust my budget to get a house that would work for me and my family. Rents are high too, but at least it gives us time to decide where we want to live. My wife says we should buy now because prices will only go up. I am more inclined to rent until we can figure out the area a bit more. Plus, if my job doesn’t work out, renting gives us more flexibility. What do you think?

~ Cautious Joe Dear Joe: I hear your concerns and I would suggest you rent for a while before purchasing a home. Not knowing the area, unsure of your long-term job status and possibly having to “bust your budget,” are enough reasons that now is not the time to buy. The inventory is very low and prices are high. To your wife’s point, it is possible that prices will rise over the next year, but it is doubtful that they will continue to skyrocket like they have in the past year. Understanding where you want to live and what you need in a house will help you focus on your buying strategy. Getting prequalified, going to open houses, checking out our various communities will give you knowledge and strength in your decision-making. Working with a realtor who is an area expert will also help you in your search for the “right’ home. I am happy to help and good luck! Welcome to our beautiful corner of the world.

Get Real Men’s Expo Returns Aug. 21 T

hink of everything unique about men — their passions, activities, sports, man toys, and motivational explorer/speakers —and you’ll know what makes them tick. That is what the Get Real Men’s Expo is all about. The 2021 Get Real Men’s Expo will be held 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM Aug. 21 at Mountaintop Christian Fellowship campus, 1519 W Gurley St, Prescott. This will be the event’s ninth year, after it had to be canceled in 2020. It was previously held at Yavapai College. New for this year will be ax throwing, bull riding, rock climbing, fly fishing, tee-off longdistance golf drives, drones and more, all designed for boys to men of all ages. “This year’s Expo focuses on good clean fun that is uniquely male while providing a Christian role model that renews faith,” says Dan Olsen, past Expo chairman. “We want men to have fun and get involved in their local church again.” The free event is made possible by the support of over 27 local churches and many Christian business owners as the Every Man Arizona coalition. Through a partnership with Promise Keepers, they will fly in global explorer and renowned Bible archaeologist Dr. Bob Cornuke to speak at 11:00 AM. He speaks to thousands each year and shares what may be the most incredible archaeological discovery to date — Mount Sinai. The numerous other activities will include a “Dunk the Pastor” booth, demonstrations about chainsaw carving, K-9 attacks and offroading, a garden ministry for growing your own food, a classic car show and much more, says John Murphy, who will be the event’s emcee. Women are welcome to come enjoy the event, Olsen said, but its focus has always been on building fellowship and mentorship among Christian men, particularly fathers and sons. About 800 people attended in 2019. “If you’re a father and you have young children, this is a place where you’ll be surrounded by positive people, and it’s a great time for kids that they will probably remember for the rest of their lives,” he said.
