Updating Flagstaff Real Estate
June 2012 finds Flagstaff home sales healthier than they were one year ago, but still leaving much to be desired for both buyers and sellers. Volume of Flagstaff single-family homes sold was up over 18% in June compared with June 2011. Driving that volume was a median price drop of 11% year-to-year. For buyers, there is just not much to choose from in any price range. The most selection this month is found in the $300,000 to $400,000 range. Below that range, homes get quickly snapped up so … [Read more...] about Updating Flagstaff Real Estate

Flagstaff’s Fast-Casual Dining
A new style of restaurant is trending in the United States. The service is brisk and customers order at a counter, but it’s not fast food. The food and menu choices are more exotic and creative, but the price ranges are below full-service restaurants. The most distinctive trait though: a reluctance to offer drive-thru services.
