On the edges of the Valley, houses are still cheap. But to give you an example, my bro has a house in south Phoenix that he bought about 6 years ago. In the first 4.5 years, it appreciated from about 125k to 155k. Now the estimated worth is close to 300k.

Queen Creek = BFE. But it sure is nice...

My girlfriend's brother has a house out there that he got pretty cheap, but it's 20 miles of farm roads from the nearest highway.

Prices are outragous here. It's disgusting

: off topic question: Im getting my windows tinted as soon as I get to AZ. What % tint is legal and what is the best % to get all around?

Blown 4-banger

Limo is legal here, only state in the country it is legal

Waylin22

^^Sweet! im getting limo where is the best place to go? (cost)

Blown 4-banger

I have no idea...

Tomtwtwtw

Here's mine, and I think it's a little lighter than limo. Definitely legal, though. The dealership puts it on just about every car they sell.

Waylin22

damnit...dealers here dont give 2 craps about tinting lol

Blown 4-banger

DAMN YOU!!! My car is totally un-tinted! How did you manage that!!??

Tomtwtwtw

Bill Heard does it on all their cars. They tack on like $1500 for each car, (which you can negotiate to next to nothing fairly easily) and that gives you tint, pinstripe (not on my car though, thank God), extended paint warranty to 5 years/unlimited miles (so if my wheels start chipping, or the body, it's fixed for free), and some other crap...they call it the "desert protection package".

Waylin22

hhmm wonder if i have any problems with "desert related issues" my warranty will cover it.

lol thats kinda cool

I know when my friend bought an 04 Civic Si, the a/c and something else (can't remember what) that you'd think would be covered under warranty, wasn't because AZ was considered an "extreme" environment. You *had* to buy the extended warranty package to have it covered.

Waylin22

hhmm ill have to look into buying some package like that when i get there and have it added to my warranty maybe.

So I just had to find a place to post this...
I JUST ORDERED A B&M SHIFTER FOR $116!!!!! WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok sorry, just had to tell someone.

Tomtwtwtw

Sweet! Watch out for this crap, though! Other than that, I hear it improves the feel a lot, more than merely shortening the throws.

Waylin22

YAY welcome to the B&M family. You will love it!! The shifting is so much smoother and more responsive

Blown 4-banger

So it feels like it GOES into gear, not just slides loosly into gear?

Waylin22

^^Exactly. plus since it sits lower you can throw faster

Housing moves really fast right now. And the prices are now starting to level out.

If you can, find a development that is not built yet and it will be cheaper. A guy I worked with bought a house in Queen Creek for $130K. By the time it was built appoximately 4-5 months later it was appraised at $230K. That was last year though when prices were jumping by leaps and bounds.

Waylin22

heres what i mean by lower...not sure if this will work enough to tell
