one over the pickle lady’s head there a little welcome sign you get a uh basically it’s like a customized beautiful signs for whatever you need and then you know they burn the images in or something

really nice yeah they do typically really excited when they get one exactly they usually love it they usually love it yeah anyway we just want to show you one of my favorite places and uh well as i said if we are lucky enough to sell a house to you and yeah all you have to do is start filming and cars start driving soon i’m waiting i i want to wave to them and see if they’ll throw me some bees so many people keep walking you know i was like hey throw me something mister you know stop coming down this little street while we’re trying to film yeah how rude yeah great great way to meet people just start filming exactly yeah and everybody comes out of the woodworks yeah they just can’t wait to be in front of yeah they obama’s in the back yeah yeah they want to be part of this actually they do yeah but anyway that’s what it wouldn’t be yeah well maybe i don’t know i’ll show you some uh i took some some scants earlier some shots earlier of the kids doing just real quick they kind of want to creep them out you know they teach yeah so i you know i just real quick just doing the sign thing they’re so cute so i’ll splice that in we have classes for kids and adults i’ll try to get a pan afterwards krista is the owner shout out to you christopher thank you hi krista yeah absolutely love dealing with you so we’re looking at that we’re looking at the window here so that’s your window of opportunity okay so what are we here to talk about you want to talk about windows opportunity that was your lead in she had a dream opportunity she missed a lead in windows of opportunity interest rates ah there it is there it is here it is it’s all connected to me now okay windows of opportunity um there are some really great programs that have now come out through several local mortgage lending companies here um that we can refer you to but if you’re like on the fence like i don’t know what to do am i ready to buy well first of all of course you’re ready to buy yeah who wouldn’t want to live here who wouldn’t want to live here all right but come get a sign let’s park that aside park that aside that’s me parking it aside okay um the other thing is um a lot of these local uh mortgage lender companies right right doesn’t sound right don’t don’t get the pickle lady or drink before no but anyway i have 90 day new programs where you can lock in your interest rate for 90 days yeah so although you may not be sure do i really want to move am i up for this but geez i don’t want to lose out on the interest rates because interest rates are rising are they not randall brown yeah if you’re if you’ve been living in a cave yeah here’s here’s the news bulletin interest rates are going to go up this year yes they’re even predicting by the end of this year this year as high as six percent as high as six and a half as high as six and a half you’re right which is you know you think that’s really high it’s really not it is a story of things and the scheme of things a healthy economy people should be making six six and a half on their money uh so that’s kind of where we’re going that’s not necessarily a bad thing but uh you wait a few minutes yeah lock it up lock it up at five and a half am i right yeah lock it up at five that’s where we lock that up 90 days that’s a whole quarter man lock it down lock it up lock it up lock it down lock it up lock it up lock it up lock it away you lock it up or lock it down we would be happy to refer you to some of these companies um and so you could at least lock in an interest rate while you’re debating the pros and cons of moving here which there are no cons but you know hey everybody has to do their time your due diligence yes yeah you have to go through your problems check idaho and make sure it’s too cold and check out phoenix to make sure it’s too hot it’s too hot and um you know make sure you check out oregon make sure it’s to granola it is too granola yeah yeah come to prescott but that’s okay we understand we understand your thing you gotta do your thing we can do your thing but in the meantime you can rest at ease once you’ve finally decided yes of course prescott is the right answer prescott is the right choice you will have already had your interest rate locked in so you don’t have to sweat it um so yeah we would love to introduce you to some of those programs if you come here get you a sign and you know i’d love to get you aside i would love to get you a new home sign yeah years from now they’ll be selling these on ebay for a lot that’s right i don’t want to say too much because it is a surprise

listening are you ready you ready okay so uh first of all what’s what is meat it is uh a brew made with honey it’s a wine it’s a wine made with honey correct and it’s because it’s made with honey our mead’s always sweet yes no no no it depends on how much you ferment them the more you ferment them the stronger and the drier they will be i don’t really care i don’t need to be educated i just like the effect that’s all i’m looking for i’m looking for the effect yeah the effect is the most important thing today we decided to sample the flight of all 12. yeah all 12. we could make up our minds so this is this is what they brought us it is uh a flight of need a a tour de force and so uh this is delicious is it is that very good yeah so they arrange it so that it’s in the order the same order that’s on the menu and literally each item on the menu is represented here is a super super super cool place to come really cool it’s nice and quiet and especially in the summertime it’s delightfully cool down here so you can come down it’s it’s nice and dark and cozy in the winter you can come down have your flight of 12 needs and enjoy yourself they also have some foods as well but if you look behind me you can see all of the meat look at that see all those pretty glass it’s just car boys anyway so we want to give you a little flavor a little local flavor of some cool places to come um

they are the friends when they decide hey presque is the place for us to move so we gotta get everybody yourself drinking me they might join you see drinking some meat okay so that’s just a little snippet of what you want to talk about today yeah we also want to talk about something that we’re finding here in prescott there is a glut of amazing beautiful gorgeous homes um in the 700 000 range yeah people ask us what the what the market is like like is it is it a buyer’s market it’s a seller’s market it really depends on what market you’re talking about different areas of town are different and in particular different price points right are different people have been talking about this being such a seller’s market such a seller’s market that’s not so in many price points and one in particular right now is the 700s yes i want to make myself clear there aren’t just homes here in the 700 000. we have homes at all prices all price ranges but for right now for you lucky buyers that are looking to come and you kind of want you would be amazed at what a 700 000 home looks like sure versus in other areas yeah we are talking whatever reason because the 800s it’s not true the 900s that’s not true yep the 600s it’s not true for whatever reason we have a glut of seven hundreds at this point and they are gorgeous custom luxury homes yeah that’s a luxury home that are sitting here right for the picking and so those sellers are not getting a whole lot of buyers coming through it’s a great time to go it’s a great time if you’re thinking about coming here and you think uh you know i think i want to get something a little more luxurious this is my last home i want something really nice this is the time for you you can get in here and grab some beautiful beautiful places at really nice prices um luxury like you would not believe you wouldn’t find it anywhere else if you’re not in the 700s that’s cool we have plenty others we got plenty of others but if you just so happen to be in that range now is a great time to talk to us because uh we can find you some really good deals oh yeah and to be honest i mean a 700 000 home here is equivalent to like a 1.2 inches yeah 1.2 1.5 they’re even better actually so anyway put a little bee in your box that’s right if you’re thinking about that and thinking hey i kind of want to make a move i want to go someplace better i’m

airport service has been canceled oh yes this is very sad news um great lakes is no longer no longer going to be flying to los angeles which is devastating to us yeah we have two daughters who will be
