Fall time in San Carlos is beautiful. The hot, humid days of summer are starting to subside and you can feel the return of civilized temperatures. And this fall we will be welcoming many new residents to our community.
Real estate sales in 2012 continue to outpace 2011 and, in a big way. The US economy continues to improve; the Sonoran economy is on fire. Here are a few facts from a recent front page headline of the Arizona Daily Star.
• The Sonoran economy grew by 7.5% in 2011.
• It is the fastest-growing state with the fastest-growing middle class in Mexico.
• In July 2012, British turbine manufacturer JJ Churchill signed a lease for a new 9.6 million plant in Guaymas.
• The Port of Guaymas which received its first shipment of container cargo in February is doubling its size and capacity by expanding into the bay with neighboring Empalme.
The same article states that rising transportation costs and a desire for more oversight has high-tech manufacturers pulling plants out of China and opting for “near-shoring” in Mexico.
A healthy and growing economy benefits everyone and our real estate market also continues to demonstrate some healthy news. Now, on with the numbers!
