According to the latest stats, our Flagstaff market is a haven for sellers.
As we move further into 2021, it’s time to look back at the 2020 year-end stats from our Flagstaff real estate market and analyze what they mean for the rest of this year.
In December, the number of total home sales rose 23.2% from 138 to 170 compared to December 2019. The number of single-family homes rose 17.7% from 96 to 113. This is very good news for home sellers. Essentially, it means that your home will sell for 23.2% more now than it would have a year ago. What’s fueling this rise? There are a few factors to consider.
The bottom line is that there’s no better time than now to put your home on the market.
The first is the COVID pandemic. When everything started last March, we thought things could go either way in our market, but it went straight up. Many people realized they didn’t have to live in a certain area to do their jobs. The Flagstaff area is one of the best places in the country to live, and people started moving here, which drove prices up. Record-low interest rates are another reason home sales are surging.
We expect this rise in home sales to continue, but some obstacles could hinder this trend. The record-low interest rates I mentioned, for example, could increase. In fact, Freddie Mac predicts that there will be a spike in interest rates. That will put pressure on home prices and, possibly, home sales.
The bottom line is that there’s no better time than now to put your home on the market. With homes’ average days on market so low, though (40 days), you need to be ready for lots of showings and offers after you list your property. I suggest hiring an experienced real estate professional to be by your side because our market can be difficult to navigate.
My team and I would love to help you no matter what your real estate needs are, whether you’re listing soon or need a thorough market analysis. Just call or email us today. We look forward to hearing from you.

We’ve all spent a lot more time at home over the past year. And for many of us, our homes have become our office, our classroom, our gym—and most importantly, our safe haven during times of uncertainty. So it’s no surprise to see that design trends for 2021 revolve around soothing color palettes, cozy character, and quiet retreats.
Even if you don’t have immediate plans to buy or sell your home, we advise our Flagstaff & Sedona clients to be mindful of modern design preferences when planning a remodel or even redecorating. Over-personalized or unpopular renovations could lower your property’s value. And selecting out-of-style fixtures and finishes could cause your home to feel dated quickly.
To help inspire your design projects this year, we’ve rounded up five of the hottest trends. Keep in mind, not all of these will work well in every house. If you plan to buy, list, or renovate your Northern Arizona property, give us a call. We can help you realize your vision and maximize the impact of your investment.
1. Uplifting Colors
Colors are gravitating toward warm and happy shades that convey a sense of coziness, comfort, and wellbeing. This year’s palettes draw from earthy hues, warm neutrals, and soothing blues and greens.1
While white and gray are still safe options, expect to see alternative neutrals become increasingly popular choices for walls, cabinets, and furnishings in 2021. For a fresh and sophisticated look, try one of these 2021 paint colors of the year:
Aegean Teal (coastal blue) by Benjamin Moore
Urbane Bronze (brownish-gray) by Sherwin-Williams
Soft Candlelight (muted yellow) by Valspar
On the opposite end of the spectrum, indigo, ruby, sapphire, and plum are showing up on everything from fireplace mantels and floating shelves to fabrics and home accessories. These classics, rich hues can help bring warmth, depth, and a touch of luxury to your living space.
To incorporate these colors, designers recommend using the “60-30-10 Rule.” Basically, choose a dominant color to cover 60% of your room. For example, your walls, rugs, and sofa might all be varying shades of beige or gray. Then layer in a secondary color for 30% of the room. This might include draperies and accent furniture. Finally, select an accent color for 10% of your room, which can be showcased through artwork and accessories.2
After a decade of minimalism, there’s been a shift towards highly-decorative and personalized interiors that incorporate more color, texture, and character. Clearly-defined styles (e.g., mid-century modern, industrial, modern farmhouse) are being replaced by a curated look, with furnishings, fixtures, and accessories that appear to have been collected over time.3
This trend has extended to the kitchen, where the atmosphere has become as important as functionality. The ubiquitous all-white kitchen is fading in popularity as homeowners opt for unique touches that help individualize their space. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, consider mixing in other neutrals—like gray, black, and light wood—for a more custom, pieced-together look. And instead of a subway tile backsplash, check out zellige tile (i.e., handmade, square Moroccan tiles) for a modern alternative with old-world flair.4
The pandemic forced many of us to rethink our home design. From multipurpose rooms to converted closets to backyard cottages, we’ve had to find creative ways to manage virtual meetings and school. And designers expect these changes to impact the way we live and work for years to come.
For example, some home builders are predicting the end of open-concept floor plans as we know them.5 Instead, buyers are searching for cozier spaces with more separation and privacy. Cue the addition of alcoves, pocket doors, and sliding partitions that enable homeowners to section off rooms as needed.4
The necessity of a home office space is also here to stay. But what if you don’t have a dedicated room? Alternative workspaces have become increasingly popular. In fact, one of the biggest trends on Pinterest this year is the “cloffice”—essentially a spare closet turned home office. Searches for “home library design” and “bookshelf room divider” are on the rise, as well.6
With travel options limited right now, more homeowners are turning their vacation budgets into staycation budgets. Essentially, recreate the resort experience at home—and enjoy it 365 days a year!
Bedrooms should provide a soothing sanctuary for rest and relaxation. But this year, minimalist decor and muted colors are giving way to bolder statement pieces. To create a “boutique hotel” look in your own bedroom, start with a large, upholstered headboard in a rich color or pattern. Layer on organic linen bedding and a chunky wool throw, then complete the look with a pair of matching bedside wall lights.7
Carry those vacation-vibes into your bathroom with some of the top luxury upgrades for 2021. Curbless showers and freestanding tubs continue to be popular choices that offer a modern and spacious feel, and large-format shower tiles with minimal grout lines make clean up a breeze. Add a floating vanity and aromatherapy shower head for the ultimate spa-like experience.4
From exercise to gardening to safer options for entertaining, the pandemic has led homeowners to utilize their outdoor spaces more than ever. In fact, backyard swimming pool sales skyrocketed in 2020, with many installers reporting unprecedented demand.8 But a new pool isn’t the only way homeowners can elevate their outdoor areas this year.
The home design website Houzz recently named 2021 “the year of the pergola.” They’re a relatively quick and affordable option to add shade and ambiance to your backyard.4 Another hot trend? Decked-out, custom playgrounds for exercising (and occupying) the youngest family members who may be missing out on school and extracurricular activities.9
But don’t limit your budget to the backyard. Landscapers are reporting an increase in front yard enhancements, including porch additions and expanded seating options. These “social front yards” enable neighbors to stay connected while observing social-distancing guidelines.10
Are you contemplating a remodel? Want to find out how upgrades could impact the value of your home? Buyer preferences vary greatly by neighborhood and price range. We can share our insights and offer tips on how to maximize the return on your investment.

Flagstaff Real Estate Market Closes 2020 with Double-Digit Gains
I hope your year is off to a great start! We typically expect to see a seasonal slide in buyer activity in the 4th quarter of the year, but, great news: 2020 Flagstaff home sales are in the books and it was a record-setting year!
FLAGSTAFF HOME SALES
The latest report by the National Association of Realtors announced that US Existing home sales climbed by 0.7% in December 2020. Here in Flagstaff, residential home sales decreased 2.9% from November 2019 according to data released by the Northern Arizona MLS. , however, December housing sales in the greater Flagstaff region are up 23.2% from a year ago. Here are our latest figures.
Month: In December single-family home sales jumped 18% from the same month in 2019, this change due to high buyer demand and historically low mortgage rates.
4th Quarter: sales are up by 24% from last year with 454 homes sold (all residential property types)
Year-to-date sales are up by 26%compared to last year (all residential property types)
Flagstaff housing prices hit new highs for the month of December. Median price, the value where half sold for more, while the other half sold for less, more accurately reflects market conditions compared to the average sales price.
December housing prices in the greater Flagstaff region rose 31% with the median sale price coming in at $500K which is a new record high for the month of December. The previous high was set last year when the median sale price was at $392,500.
Total Home Sales - 170 homes, up 23.2% vs December 2019, new high
Median Home Price - $500,000 up 31.2% vs December 2019, new high
Mortgage rates up - A 30 year fixed rate mortgage with 5% down and very good credit is at an average of 2.89%
Longest days on market:500 days. New build Johnson Ranch 4 bedroom home with 2 master bedrooms, 2 covered porches, and great views of the San Francisco Peaks, Mt Elden, and the Cinder Hills.
The acronym CDOM (Cumulative Days on Market) is used by the Flagstaff MLS to describe how many days a property has been available for sale. A property has to be off the MLS for at least 90 days for the CDOM to restart, even if it is listed by a different agent. We report the average days on market for properties sold based on CDOM.
The number of days a home sits on the market can tell us a lot about pricing. A high CDOM is commonly a strong indicator that the home is overpriced.

Flagstaff Home Buyer
These days, people are looking for space and affordability. That's driving the trend away from big cities and into the suburbs. According to the National Association of Realtors, homebuyers in the largest cities were spending more time checking out suburban listings than homes near the city center.
Asking prices have also increased faster in the suburbs.
It's not just location preferences that are changing. Since many more folks are working from home these days, homes with an office sell faster and for more money than homes without one. However, both of those changes pale in comparison to...
Since last spring, the number of first-time homebuyers has risen sharply. 20% of all adults who don’t own a home say the pandemic has them considering homeownership. As a result, first-time buyers now make up 34% of the total number of buyers. Compare that to 2018 and 2019, when first-time buyers only made up 31% of the market.
Buying a home is easier
In 2020, high-tech innovations like 3D home tours, drone footage, and virtual staging became standard replacements for in-person home visits. We also witnessed some mundane but meaningful innovations, like phone-based entry into homes for sale (no appointment necessary) or the availability of remote mortgage pre-approvals, inspections, appraisals, and even closings. As a result of all this, buying or selling a home is now faster and easier than it's ever been.
So what does this all mean for you in 2021?
Home sales have slowed down a bit. Up in the mountains during winter, sales are weather dependent and December & January are the coldest, snowiest months. When the weather’s nice homebuyers can get out and look at properties and it's been snowing up here in weeks. Plan ahead if you are buying in 2021. From saving for your down payment to getting pre-approved for a mortgage, you’ll want to make sure you keep your financial plan on track from the beginning.
Mortgage rates are expected to increase slowly throughout 2021 but they will still be inarguably low in comparison to previous years, supporting homebuyer demand. Take advantage and reap the benefits of these low rates.
The Freddie Mac weekly survey shows the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage is 2.79%, which is up 0.14 points from last week, and down 0.86 points from this time last year.
INVENTORY
It's a seller's market with less than a month of supply of Flagstaff homes at multiple price ranges. Housing supply also traditionally shrinks at this time of year, so the choices buyers will be limited. Many beautiful homes have entered the market recently. If you'd like to see them, click the links below to take a look at the latest Greater Flagstaff area listings.
If you’re buying at the lower price range, having very few homes on the market could present a few challenges. Don’t worry MORE new construction homes are coming into the market! We can also help you find off-market homes that are not listed on the MLS. Let's talk about your situation in person! Call Kelly at 888.446.5602.
Home Buying Tips Our home buyer's blog will help you plan and prepare for your successful home purchase and avoid headaches and surprises that may arise during the process.
The real estate market continues to surge ahead. However, clouds might be forming on the horizon for sellers. Let me give you the details:
1. Ultra-low mortgage rates
Throughout 2020, the popular 30-year fixed mortgage rate set 15 new record lows. It ended 2020 just one basis point higher than the latest record low and currently stands at 2.86%, a full percentage point lower than one year ago. These ultra-low mortgage rates are driving an increase in demand. Unfortunately, sales are restricted due to...
2. Record-low inventory
There were just 1.28 million homes available for sale at the end of November, the last month for which we have full data. That is down 22% from a year earlier. It is also the lowest inventory count since the National Association of Realtors began tracking this metric in 1982. Unsurprisingly, home prices are shooting up thanks to strong demand and record low inventory.
The median price of an existing home sold in November was a staggering 14.6% higher than in November 2019.
If you’re worried this pace is unsustainable, you might be right:
3. A change in the market?
Some experts warn that home prices are overheating and that affordability is suffering. They might have a point because, after five consecutive months of gains, closed sales of existing homes lowered in November. Similarly, after three straight months of record highs, homebuilder confidence in December dropped 4%. December mortgage applications also fell.
So what does this all mean for you?
Well, things might get harder soon for home sellers. Lower affordability could hurt demand, and the price growth we've seen over the past months might slow down, or prices might decrease like we started to see before the pandemic.
Fortunately, nationwide trends haven't caught up to us yet in Flagstaff.
Demand is still very strong. If you were to list now, you could sell quickly and at top dollar.

The start of a new year always compels people to take a fresh look at their goals, from health and career to relationships and finance. But with historically low mortgage rates, increased home sales and price growth, and a tight housing inventory, the time is right to also make some homeownership resolutions for 2021.
Homebuyers, is this the year you work to improve your credit score, pay down some debt, or save for a down payment?
Home sellers, we’ve laid out plans for you to get top dollar for your property, including timing your home sale, making your property stand out from the crowd, and investing in your extra living space.
And even if you’re staying put for a while, homeowners, you can resolve to improve your status quo by evaluating your home budget, finalizing your home maintenance schedule, or maybe investing in a second property.
So no matter your homeownership status, we’ve got some ideas and advice for you to make this year your best one yet. Read on to learn more.
FLAGSTAFF HOME BUYERS
Resolution #1: Qualify for a better mortgage with a higher credit score.
Your credit report highlights your current debt, bill-paying history, and other key financial information. Importantly for your home-buying journey, it is also used by lenders and companies to calculate your credit score, which partly determines if you are qualified to obtain a mortgage. Therefore, before you start house-hunting, make sure your finances are in the best possible shape by checking your credit report from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion (via AnnualCreditReport.com). You can also obtain your credit score for free from some banks and credit card companies.
Your credit score will be a number ranging from 300-850.1 Generally speaking, a credit score of 740 or higher is considered very good to excellent.2 If your FICO score drops below 740, you might need to work at boosting your score for a few months before you begin house-hunting. Ways to do this are to pay your bills on time every month, keep your credit card balances low, and avoid applying for new credit.
Resolution #2: Improve your credit health by paying down debt.
Do you have student loans, credit card debt, or car payments tying up your income each month? That debt is hurting your “buying power,” or the amount of home you can afford. Not only is it money that you can't spend on your new home, but your debt-to-income ratio also affects your credit score, which we discussed above. The less debt you have, the higher your FICO score and the better mortgage you can obtain.
If you can, pay off some debt in its entirety—like a low balance on a credit card. Then apply that "extra" money you previously paid on that credit card to pay off bigger debt, like a car loan. Even if you can’t pay off all (or any) of your debt in full, reducing the balances of each account will help you qualify for the best possible mortgage terms.
Resolution #3: Create a financial safety net before applying for a mortgage.
Don’t forget that buying a home requires some cash as well. A down payment is typically 7% of a home’s purchase price, and closing costs currently average $3,700.3,4 You’ll also need money for moving expenses and any initial maintenance tasks that might pop up. And as the pandemic taught us, you never know when an unforeseen event might cause a job loss, drop in income, or health scare, so having some liquid savings will ensure that you can still pay your mortgage if a crisis occurs.
Dedicate some effort to building up your reserves. Cut down on unnecessary expenses, and consider having a portion of each paycheck automatically deposited into your savings account to avoid the temptation to spend it.
FLAGSTAFF HOME SELLERS
Resolution #4: Decide on the right time to sell your home.
If you’re looking to maximize profit on the sale of your home, selling earlier in the year makes sense. Listing prices historically increase early in the year, peak in May, plateau through June, and decrease for the remainder of the year.5 And, according to the National Association of Realtors, “[w]ith both mortgage rates and the number of homes available for sale expected to remain relatively low, home prices are likely to continue to increase. [In] mid-January, home prices typically begin a quick ramp-up in a normal year.”5
But sales price isn’t the only thing to consider. You might not be ready to sell your home yet because you don't want to uproot your kids during the school year or because you need to tackle some minor upgrades before placing your home on the market.
This means that there is no one month or season that is the perfect time to sell your home. Instead, the right timeline for you takes into account factors such as when you’ll earn the highest profit, personal convenience, and whether your home is even ready to put on the market. A trusted real estate professional can talk you through your specific needs to clarify when to sell your home.
Resolution #5: Boost your home’s resale value by making your property shine.
Housing inventory is at historic lows across the country, and that means the market is fiercely competitive.6 Selling your home in 2021 has the potential to net you a huge return right now, and you can maximize that amount with some simple fixes to make sure your property outshines your neighbors' for sale down the street.
In your home, you might need to tackle a minor remodeling project, such as upgrading the flooring or adding a fresh coat of paint. According to the National Association of Realtors’ 2019 Remodeling Impact Report, simply refinishing existing hardwood floors recoups 100% of the cost at resale, and completely replacing it with new wood flooring recovers 106% of costs.7
Outside, you might consider improving your curb appeal by removing a dead bush, trimming a tree that blocks the front window, or power-washing your moldy driveway and sidewalks. In fact, real estate agents say cleaning the exterior of your house can add $10,000 to $15,000 to a home’s sale price.8 And according to a Virginia Tech study, improving a home’s landscaping may increase its value by 10 to 12%.9
A good agent should provide custom-tailored suggestions to ensure your property pops inside and out. Ask us about our local insider secrets that will make your home stand out from others on the market.
Resolution #6: Invest in your “extra” living space to meet current buyers’ needs.
Due to COVID-19, more people are staying at home to work, go to school, exercise, and stay entertained. And these lifestyle changes are showing up in home buyer preferences. For example, according to one study, buyers are looking more and more for homes with formal, outfitted home offices, private outdoor spaces, and updated kitchen appliances.10
So if you’ve got an underutilized room, consider turning it into an office, home gym, schoolroom, or multi-purpose room to meet current home buyer needs and attract better offers on your home. Got some underwhelming space outside? You could turn it into an outdoor entertainment area by adding a firepit, upgrading the patio furniture, or installing a grilling area. Be sure to consult with a local real estate professional before investing in a renovation, however, as each market’s buyers have different tastes.
NORTHERN ARIZONA HOMEOWNERS
Resolution #7: Evaluate your household budget to reflect financial changes.
After this past year, in particular, your financial picture may have changed. Maybe you were furloughed, had your hours reduced, or got a new job further from home. Perhaps you’ve kept the same job, but you’re now working remotely. A work-from-home arrangement could mean less money spent on gas, tolls, a professional wardrobe, and dining out for lunch.
But this could also mean new (or increased) expenses now that you’re working at home, such as new tech-related purchases, faster Wi-Fi, and higher energy bills. January marks the perfect opportunity to update your income and expenses and review last year’s spending habits, tweaking as needed for 2021.
Resolution #8: Save money now (and earn more later) with a home maintenance plan.
Having a schedule of regular home maintenance projects to tackle will save you money now and in the long-term. You’ll avoid some surprise “emergency fixes,” and when you’re ready to eventually sell your home, you’ll get higher offers from buyers who aren’t put off by overdue repairs.
Even if nothing necessarily needs fixing right now, you can lower your energy costs by maintaining and upgrading your home. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, simple fixes add up: replace five most frequently used bulbs with ENERGY STAR ones to save $75/year; repair leaky faucets to save $35/year; replace older toilets with low-flow models to save $100/year; and seal air leaks to save $83-$166/year.11
Resolution #9: Invest in real estate for a better standard of living.
Even if you don’t plan on leaving your current residence, real estate is a great way to improve your quality of life in 2021.
Have cabin fever from the long quarantine? A vacation home in a getaway location you love lets you safely spread your wings. And if you have been looking for a second stream of income, an investment property might be your answer. Just be sure to consult with a real estate professional to get a realistic sense of a property’s true income potential.
Without a plan and a support system, 55% of Americans will break their new year’s resolutions.12 Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or stay put in your home, it helps to connect with a trusted real estate agent to keep you motivated and on track.
As local market experts, we have the knowledge, experience, and networks to help you achieve your homeownership goals, whatever they may be. Reach out to us today for a free consultation and commit to a happy and prosperous new year.

The Flagstaff Housing Market Remain Strong Despite The “Slow Season”
Have a wonderful holiday and a healthy and prosperous New Year! With 2021 just a few short days away, I thought I’d send you a quick note on what’s happening with the Flagstaff housing market. Next month we’ll look at how we did for 2020.
FLAGSTAFF HOME SALES
The market appears to have entered the slow season. According to data released by the Northern Arizona Multiple Listing Service, Greater Flagstaff's housing sales fell 25% compared to last month but jumped 18% from the same period last year. There were 165 houses sold in November, the most in 14 years.
This is the best November sales for the Kelly Broaddus Team with 11 closings at over $8.2M of Flagstaff and nearby area real estate.
FLAGSTAFF MEDIAN HOME PRICE
Greater Flagstaff's housing median sold price fell 2.8% compared to October. Comparing the numbers to a year ago, housing prices jumped with the median sold price coming in at $515K which is 20% higher from last year's $430K, setting a new November monthly price high.
Total Single Family Home Sales - 165 homes, up 18.4% vs November 2019.
Median Sold Price - $515,000, up 19.8% vs November 2019
Average Mortgage rates - 2.8% The national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate hit a record low for the 13th time this year in Freddie Mac's latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey. Remember, mortgage rates can be extremely volatile, so check with your mortgage professional for up-to-the-minute information.
Longest days on market (SF):453 Days To be built Luxury Capstone townhome. 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath with luxury features like Pella windows, wall oven, and microwave, wood flooring, granite t/o, multifaceted ext. siding and stone accents. Located in Flagstaff Ranch, one of the most exclusive Flagstaff lifestyle community offering luxury homes.
The acronym CDOM (Cumulative Days on Market) is used by the Flagstaff MLS to describe how many days a property has been available for sale. A property has to be off the MLS for at least 90 days for the CDOM to restart, even if it is listed by a different agent. We report the average days on market for properties sold based on CDOM.
The number of days a home sits on the market can tell us a lot about pricing. A high CDOM is commonly a strong indicator that the home is overpriced.

Flagstaff Home Buyer Advice
There is still demand, but very low inventory. As the weather condition continues to cool, fewer Phoenix buyers visit. We’re still notably in the Seller’s zone, prices have not yet adjusted. IF the market continues to cool, then expect prices to follow lower. It may take a few more weeks of slack demand for prices to reflect and begin to fall.
Low mortgage rates make it particularly attractive to buy right now. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate already dropped 13 times this year to never-before-seen levels. It currently stands at 2.72%, which is 0.5% lower than six months ago and a full percentage point lower than one year ago.
If you or someone you know is looking to buy a home and take advantage of the favorable rates, you'll be interested to know that some great homes recently came on the Flagstaff market. You can take a look at all of them

The recent surge in the real estate market has now offset the spring market losses. This means it's a great moment for anybody thinking of selling a home. However, it's uncertain how long this will last. Let me give you the details:
Never-before-seen price levels
Sales of Flagstaff homes in November soared well past expectations, rising 18% annually. More impressively, home prices jumped 20% in November year over year. So what's behind this surge?
Record-low supply
There's an extreme shortage of homes on the market right now. At the end of November, there were just 405 existing homes on the market. That's a 46% drop compared with November 2019. At the current sales pace, that represents a 1.8-month supply, one of the lowest on record. Such a limited supply is pushing up prices. However, there's a second cause for the recent rise in home prices.
Urgent demand
Mortgage rates hit record lows 13 times this year. Such low mortgage rates make homes more affordable, despite the rise in home prices. That's why so many homebuyers are rushing in to take advantage.
So what does this mean for you?
Well, it means it's a great moment to sell. Right now, you could sell quickly and at top dollar. However, it's unclear how long it will last. More home sellers might enter the market to take advantage of current conditions. More importantly, mortgage rates might bounce back up soon, making homes less affordable and curbing demand. That's why, if you've been thinking of selling, it's worth at least investigating your options right now.

This year has demonstrated, perhaps more than ever, the importance of our family, friends, neighbors, and community. It truly “takes a village” to keep a community functioning effectively, whether that’s by keeping our waterways clean, feeding the hungry, teaching our kids, or supporting small businesses.
With the holidays right around the corner, December offers the perfect opportunity to give back to the place we call home. You might want to focus your efforts near home, expand to our larger community, or even help support the people closest to you. Whether you’re passionate about a particular cause or just want to get more involved in general, let these 10 ways, both big and small, inspire you to do good in your town.
GIVE BACK NEAR HOME
1. Attract local wildlife. By making your neighborhood more wildlife-friendly, you’re helping to create a balanced and healthy ecosystem. Plus, many of the animals you can attract help with pest control and pollination.1
Ideas:
Add a birdbath to your backyard or create a rain garden to attract wildlife (and filter out local pollutants).
Place bird feeders on your property to feed birds all year long.
Tie corncobs to tree branches to feed squirrels.
Hang birdhouses on your property to provide shelter.
Use native plants in your landscaping to provide food and shelter for birds, bees, butterflies, and other critters.
Take action: While you might not be able to “break ground” until spring, start researching native plants now to design a landscaping plan that provides food, shelter, and water for local wildlife.
2. Clean up our community. Besides beautifying the area, picking up trash keeps it out of our local waterways, which means a cleaner water supply for all of us.
Ideas:
Whether you make this a solo effort or join in an organized group event, pick up trash in your neighborhood, at a local park, or elsewhere in our community.
Depending on your community’s regulations, you can recycle many home items such as paper, glass, and aluminum.
And don’t forget to clean the exterior of your home, where water runoff (such as on your driveway and sidewalks) can carry debris into the local sewer system.2
Take action: Check with your local municipality to learn about environmental clean-up efforts in our community, as well as recycling and composting.
3. Organize or join a neighborhood watch. According to a recent report, neighborhoods with Neighborhood Crime Watch programs experience roughly 16 percent less crime.3 Keeping an eye out for each other instills a sense of safety and security in your neighborhood by increasing surveillance, reducing opportunities, and enhancing information sharing among residents. Even if your neighborhood doesn’t have an official program, you can still share crime information via a neighborhood Facebook group or apps like NextDoor.
Ideas:
Make a point of looking out for each other and being observant of what’s going on.
You can even make it official by joining a neighborhood watch program.
Don’t have one? Consider launching a neighborhood watch program with the help of other interested neighbors.
Take action: Some police forces use online mapping tools that provide crime alerts to people in neighborhoods where recent criminal activity occurred.3 Share this information with your neighbors.
HELP OUT LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS
4. Boost your civic engagement. Regardless of your politics, you can get more involved as a citizen to make a positive difference in our community.
Ideas:
Sign a petition to make a needed change in our community.
Join a peaceful march, protest, or rally to support a cause dear to your heart.
Attend local school board meetings, town halls, or city council meetings to understand (and have a voice in) local issues.4
Watch (and read) a variety of local news sources to get balanced reporting on what’s happening in our community.
If you don’t know your neighbors very well, introduce yourself.
Then make a commitment to check in on those who might need help, such as an elderly neighbor.
Get plugged into the resources and events in our town by visiting local museums, taking historical tours, borrowing materials from our local library, and attending community festivals.
Take action:Do you know who our local leaders are, such as our mayor or city councilwoman? Get to know their names, their policies, and their stand on issues that affect our community. Subscribe to their newsletter and follow them on social media.
5. Support local businesses. Our community has been impacted by the pandemic, with many businesses being forced to limit capacity, instill social distancing efforts, and even shutter entirely in some cases. Help keep money in our local economy by shopping local instead of relying on online shopping from national chains.
Ideas:
From handcrafted soaps and one-of-a-kind apparel to locally produced chocolate and small-batch wines, you’ll find plenty of unique gifts at the small businesses that dot our community.
Consider purchasing tickets to attend live-streamed holiday concerts and shows.
Buy cookies and other baked goods from our local bakery.
Get takeout from our local restaurants.
Support local farmers by purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables at community farmer’s markets.
Take action: If you’re concerned about shopping in person right now, many of these businesses, though small, offer online shopping, with options for in-store pick-up, curbside delivery, and/or mail options.
6. Donate to local charities. Nonprofits could always use your financial support, so consider making a monetary donation to help them carry out their mission in our community. But if money is tight (or you want to support in other ways), think beyond just donating dollars.
Ideas:
Consider donating to a charity in someone else’s name as an altruistic gift on behalf of a friend or relative.
Give blood to our local blood bank.
Donate new or used books to our community library.
Send school supplies to our neighborhood elementary school.
Help struggling neighbors by donating blankets to the homeless.
Pick out toys to give to a charity that caters to families. 5
Take action: Many collection efforts run by charitable organizations and businesses take place during the holidays. Look to see what’s already taking place in our community and choose one or more to give to this season.
CARE FOR YOUR NEIGHBORS
7. Organize a holiday food drive. This year, in particular, people are struggling to pay their bills and put food on the table. The pandemic has caused many businesses to close or reduce their staff size, putting many people out of work.
Ideas:
If you personally know someone who needs help buying groceries, reach out and offer to help that one family.
If not, partner with a local food bank, soup kitchen, nonprofit or community organization that feeds people in need.
Round up a few friends, family, co-workers, or neighbors to collect food for a few weeks. Then deliver the bounty in time for the holidays.
Take action: Take advantage of your grocery store coupons and buy-one-get-one offers to inexpensively stock up on nonperishable goods.
8. Adopt a family or an individual. The holidays can be a struggle, especially financially, for some families. They might not be able to buy a Christmas tree or presents for their children. Maybe their holiday meal consists of boxed macaroni and cheese because they can’t afford a turkey and fresh vegetables. You can make a difference by “adopting” a particular family (or even just a child) to help make their holiday special.
Ideas:
If you know a needy family, help them directly.
If not, ask a community group for the name of a family or individual in need.
Some businesses even sponsor toy drives or “angel trees” where you can pick the name of a needy family off the tree and buy from their wish lists.
Take action: This works great as a family project. Get the kids in your life involved to help make holiday cards and pick out toys to give to the children in the adopted family.
9. Volunteer. Depending on your schedule and your preferences, you might be able to volunteer in-person or from home, whether it’s a one-time effort or ongoing project. It’s a great way to meet like-minded people in your community as you make a positive impact together for a shared cause.
Ideas:
Give your time to a cause or organization that really matters to you, such as your local school, animal rescue organization, mental health awareness group, or environmental nonprofit.6
Tap into a skill you already have, like creating videos, and offer your services.
Or learn a new skill (like fundraising) to benefit your cause of choice.
Take action: Start with your local community to see where its needs are the greatest. Make a point to help this holiday season, perhaps extending your commitment throughout 2021.
10. Perform random acts of kindness. Don’t think you need to “go big or go home” in your give-back efforts. You can make a big difference one small act at a time.
Ideas:
Give a generous tip to a waitress.
Pay for the coffee of the car behind you in the drive-through.
Take care of a neighbor’s pet while they’re out of town.
Send holiday cards to deployed military personnel.
Deliver a plate of homemade holiday cookies to our local fire or police station.
Smile at a stranger.
Rake leaves for an elderly neighbor.
Thank your child’s teacher for all their hard work this year.
Send an uplifting text to a friend.
Compliment someone.
Help a coworker with an unpleasant task.

Flagstaff AZ Real Estate Market Data Provided by The Kelly Broaddus Real Estate Advisors Team / by Joselyn Uy
Tight Inventory Pushes Flagstaff Home Sales and Prices
The holidays are here! Have you started shopping? Those looking for a new home have checked off their lists as the housing market continues to boom. Here are the latest things that you should know about the Flagstaff housing market.
FLAGSTAFF HOME SALES
This October, sales of existing homes in the US rose 4.3% compared to September marking five consecutive months of significant gains. Greater Flagstaff's housing sales fell 18% compared to last month according to data provided by the Northern Arizona MLS. It rose 28% from the same period last year, however. There were 216 houses sold in October, the most in 14 years. Mortgage rates near all-time lows helped a lot to push sales numbers to new heights.
In the month of October, the Kelly Broaddus Real Estate Advisors team sold 5 homes, selling over $1.8M of Flagstaff and nearby area real estate. 2014 was our best October home sales at almost $4M.
FLAGSTAFF MEDIAN HOME PRICE
Flagstaff's October housing prices jumped with the median sale price coming in at $530K which is 24% higher from a year ago at $426K, setting a new October monthly price high.
Total Single Family Home Sales - 158 homes, up 46% vs October 2019.
Median Sold Price - $530,000, up 24% vs Oct 2019
Average Mortgage rates - 2.8% The national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate hit a record low for the 13th time this year in Freddie Mac's latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey. Remember, mortgage rates can be extremely volatile, so check with your mortgage professional for up-to-the-minute information.
Longest days on market (SF):525 Days This is a 1,989 sqft 3 bedroom Mountain Vista condo in Pine Canyon, one of the most exclusive Flagstaff lifestyle community offering luxury homes.
The acronym CDOM (Cumulative Days on Market) is used by the Flagstaff MLS to describe how many days a property has been available for sale. A property has to be off the MLS for at least 90 days for the CDOM to restart, even if it is listed by a different agent. We report the average days on market for properties sold based on CDOM.
The number of days a home sits on the market can tell us a lot about pricing. A high CDOM is commonly a strong indicator that the home is overpriced.

Flagstaff Home Buyer Advice
Is it a bad time to buy a home right now? The popular message right now is that it is a bad time to buy a home. Let’s see if that’s true.
First off, a recent survey confirms the popular sentiment: In September, the share of buyers who think it’s a good time to buy fell from 59% to 54%. Meanwhile, the share of sellers who think it's a good time to sell increased from 48% to 56%.
What's hiding behind these numbers?
A big part is a rise in home prices. This September, the median price of an existing US home rose 14.8% compared to a year earlier. Another part is a shortage of inventory. Nationwide, there are too few homes on the market, making it hard in many places for buyers to find a good home, pushing prices up. However, this is not the whole picture.
Mortgage rates are at record lows.
The fixed 30-year mortgage rate currently stands at 2.8%, almost a whole percent lower than it was a year ago, which at the time was the lowest-ever rate. These incredibly low mortgage rates can mean a total savings of tens of thousands of dollars over the course of a loan. This makes homes more affordable than they appear at first.
The big rise in the median price is partly a statistical glitch
That's because the upper end of the market currently has a greater supply and a larger share of sold homes than usual. In other words, when you look at all homes being sold right now, more of those homes tend to be luxury ones. This is pulling up the median price, making it look like all segments of the market are surging in price.
Available Homes
While there might be a shortage of homes nationwide, I'm consistently seeing beautiful homes being listed in our local Flagstaff market.
So what does this all mean for the Flagstaff homebuyer?
Despite the gloomy picture you might see on the evening news, based on my experience in the Flagstaff market, it's actually a good time to buy. Average prices are indeed rising. However, this doesn't mean that the home you might want to buy is becoming any less affordable. Of course, that could change once our present low mortgage rates start to go up.
That's why I think it makes sense not to ignore the current favorable moment and look at the great homes that are available around Northern Arizona right now. If you want to see the many attractive Flagstaff homes I'm talking about, take a look here:

The real estate market is golden for sellers right now. However, things might change soon. Here are the details:
Flagstaff Prices are soaring
The median price of an existing Flagstaff home sold in October rose 24.4% compared to a year earlier. That is a new record in price growth and also an all-time high when adjusted for inflation. So what's behind this surge in prices?
Limited supply of homes
According to the latest data from the Northern Arizona Multiple Listing Service, the inventory of homes on the market fell 3.7% annually. At the end of October, the number of available homes stood at just 440, which represented a 2.06-month supply. For reference, the normal supply is four to five months. While this imbalance between demand and supply is certainly pushing up prices, there's another important factor...
Record low mortgage rates
The fixed 30-year mortgage rate currently stands at a record-low 2.8%. That's almost a whole percent lower than it was a year ago, which at the time was the lowest-ever rate. Buyers are eager to take advantage of this situation. Such low rates can take tens of thousands of dollars off the real cost of buying a home; despite the growth in prices, homes can still be affordable.
So what does this all mean for you?
Well, if you were to sell your home now, you could sell it for top dollar and in record time. However, things might be changing soon. For one thing, there has been a spike in the number of sellers who think it is a good time to sell right now. This measure plummeted to 16% in March, rose steadily through the summer, and now stands at 56%. Also, home builder sentiment has been rising steadily for the past several months. That means we will likely soon see an increase in the completion of new homes, which can tilt the market more in favor of buyers.
That's why I think it's such a golden moment to sell right now. Prices are high, times-to-sell are short, and buyers are eager.
