Tucson Real Estate Newsletter June 2018

Click image to read

Tucson, AZ has many GREAT locally owned restaurants but take the drive just 3 miles south of Tubac and you’ll be at a Mexican restaurant that’s been family owned since 1944. Between their fruity burrito, guacamole dip, or their lethal margarita’s, you’ll be happy after dining. Look for the huge white chicken!

Tucson Real Estate Newsletter June 2018 – Natural Disasters

Click image to read

No surprise if you live in a natural disaster area, your home values increase less. With June being the beginning of the hurricane season, you don’t have to worry about that here in the desert! What do you think the risk factor is living in Arizona?

Twice a year you should have your HVAC serviced (summer & winter) to keep it running energy efficient. Don’t forget on a monthly basis you should be changing your air return filters. Our HVAC contractor says to buy the cheap filters; they work just as good as the expensive ones when you replace monthly. If you have the metal filters, make sure to clean them monthly.

Fertilize: Blooming plants often during monsoon season with a high phosphorous fertilizer. Palms in wet soil and water fertilizer into ground. Roses with half-strength fertilizer. Add epsom salts at half-strength. Deep water every day when rain isn’t present.

Prune: Mesquite & Palo Verde trees. Basil prune at least 1/3 of growth to ensure fall harvest.

Plant: Cucumber, melon, and squash for fall. Herbs (all but cilantro, parsley & dill).
