The past two weeks have flown by so incredibly fast I can’t believe it. I’ve had a bad case of writer’s block, but not the kind you might be used to hearing about.
Typical writer’s block is when you can’t think of anything to write about.
My writer’s block has been far from it. I have lots to write about, but no time to write. Sometimes Real Estate takes time away from writing about real estate.
I don’t even have time to write this at the moment, but I can’t let this blog sit another day longer without feeding it something less it die of “malwordtrition”. That is death by the lack of words in a timely manner.
My Tucson Writer’s Block
- New clients, several new clients looking for homes
- New listing near Benson, Arizona
- New listing on the East side of Tucson
- Update to the Oro Valley Real Estate blog
- New blog on an Oro Valley Subdivision
- 2 Open Houses
- Blog platform upgrade from Wordpress 2.1 to 2.2
- Project Grad, up all night and clients in the morning
- Daughter’s last day of school and trip to England, France & Spain
I won’t bore you with the details of some of the items on this list other than to say there was more than one that entailed very little sleep over the course of the last 10 days. I haven’t even been able to keep up on the massive amount of reading I do to analyze the Tucson Real Estate Market. (I’m catching up, kind of).
For example a new listing entails.
- A complete photo shoot of the home inside and out.
- Photos of things near the home that might be of interest to a potential buyer.
- Creation of a website just for the listing.
- Creating flyers for the listing.
- Putting up the sign, yes I put up our own signs. Digging a hole in the ground around Tucson is like digging right through concrete.
- Scanning and posting of any pertinent documents for the property (SPDS) etc.
- Creating a video montage of the listing for on it’s website.
- Creating a map page for the listing with location of the property and places of interest around the property.
I had two of those this past week, both still need some additional work.
The night before the early drive to Phoenix for the flight to Europe we had a night visit to Kitt Peak observatory which ended at 11 pm with a drive off the mountain without headlights so as not to mess up the telescopes. We got home at 1 am.
I’ve got more photos and will write this week about Kitt Peak the home of the National Observatory and it’s relationship with Tucson.
On the Burner
- Absorption Rates vs. Day On Market as a measuring tool.
- Kitt Peak (as mentioned above)
- Tucson Water in Perspective
- Photo montage of Tucson in Bloom in May and June
- Remember the Milkman
- Commentary on MLS Statistics for May
- Sand trout flourishing in Tucson rivers and washes
- Continuing Analysis of the Tucson Real Estate Market
Writer’s block indeed. BTW, those are slump blocks in the picture at the top, they are popular as a building material in Tucson. Some are built with burnt adobe, but most homes are stucco these days.
