From The North Phoenix Mayor’s Desk

We’re less than a month away from one of North Phoenix’s most meaningful community days of the year. The Inaugural Hands Across North Phoenix + Valleypalooza Hops events are happening on 11/8, at 11 am, and I am super excited!!

Will You Be There?

Now let’s shift to what’s happening around town and in the market. Enjoy the newsletter!

Homes We Love This Week…

Reply to this email if you want to see homes like this before they are on Zillow…

Quick market update: It’s still a buyer’s market. The strength of the Buyer conditions are not as strong as they used to be. Does that mean prices are going up? No.

Thinking of buying? Selling? I’d love to help or be considered. Reply or text me 480-233-6433.

Videos & Interviews…

A Message From Vice Mayor Ann O’Brien

If you know a small business owner interested in doing business with the City of Phoenix, please share this information. On Tuesday, October 21, a half-day summit will focus on accessing City contracts and leveraging resources. Attendees will learn what the City buys, how to register as a City vendor, and how to respond to solicitations.

This free event, which will be held downtown at City Hall, also includes access to about 20 City departments that will share information on upcoming business opportunities. The deadline to register via this link is October 15.
