I picked up the West Valley View yesterday and saw the nice article about the Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium. It brought back memories of when I was a kid and used to go to the Phoenix Zoo and Legend City. For those who weren’t around yet, Legend City was Arizona’s own amusement park with rides and games, kind of a small Seven Flags, but maybe with just one flag…

What are you waiting for folks? Last week the home mortgage rate was down to 5%, a record low in my book. I even called my mortgage broker to get an good will estimate to refinance my home in Litchfield Park.

Right now is a great time to buy a home if you’ve been waiting. There are plenty of good deals on the market and with 5 percent interest rates you can have a monthly payment under $1000 on a really nice home.

Litchfield Park is a terrific place to buy a home. Prices may be a little higher but it’s well worth the difference.

Give me, Melinda, a call 623-810-4541, and I will go out of my way to help you find the best deal. Don’t wait because interest rates change all the time and there’s no guarantee interest rates will be 5% for long.

I’d like to mention someone who does tile work in the West Valley. Frank Chavez has been installing tile for 25 years. His specialties are Saltillo, Travertine, Slate & Tumbles Stone. You can reach Frank by phone at 602-449-8453 or by visiting his website www.tilegig.com.

Today I spent the morning sitting outside with my husband (Joe), enjoying the cool air, listening to the birds sing, and talking about our kids going back to school.

My daughter will be a sophomore at Millenium High and my son will be starting 2nd grade at Litchfield Elementary.

We are so blessed to have our children in such good schools. I want to give Millenium High and Litchfield Park Elementary School “Kudos” for being such great schools in the West Valley!
