Here\u2019s the lowdown on the myths vs. facts from the experts in Arizona Real Estate:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Myth #1:<\/strong> Arizona has one season year-round:\u00a0 <em>hot!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Fact:<\/strong> Arizona has four subtle but distinct seasons.\u00a0 Each season brings with it a unique character, courtesy of Mother Nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_881\" style=\"width: 196px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gentryrealestategroup.com\/buylowazteam\/files\/2017\/11\/Spring-blooms-in-Arizona.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-881\" class=\"wp-image-881\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gentryrealestategroup.com\/buylowazteam\/files\/2017\/11\/Spring-blooms-in-Arizona.png\" width=\"186\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentryrealestategroup.com\/buylowazteam\/files\/2017\/11\/Spring-blooms-in-Arizona.png 388w, https:\/\/gentryrealestategroup.com\/buylowazteam\/files\/2017\/11\/Spring-blooms-in-Arizona-233x300.png 233w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 186px) 100vw, 186px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-881\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 10pt\">Spring blooms in Arizona<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Spring starts in early March,<\/strong> with lemon, orange, and grapefruit trees in bloom and filling the air with their citrus-y fragrance. Fig trees and\u00a0 Green Palo Verdes begin to sprout leaf buds, and ocotillo begins to establish their tall, spiky red flowers. In fact, every plant that blooms in <span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\">Arizona does so in spring. Mountainsides are carpeted in wildflowers and birds migrate to their summer habitats. Droves of hummingbirds and sandhill cranes meander overhead, and hiking is glorious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Summer starts in May<\/strong> and lasts until mid-September. Yes, the days are hot and can be extremely dry or agonizingly humid. Summer is best spent in your swimming pool, and sunblock is a must. In early May, you\u2019ll paint your older citrus tree trunks with a special white paint, which protects the trees against the sun\u2019s intense rays\u2014otherwise, the overheated sap expands and the bark pops off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Fall starts in October.<\/strong> Time to plant tomatoes and other garden favorites that can\u2019t be grown in the heat of summer. Apples, berries, and watermelon are local, delicious, and ready for picking. Your citrus trees that started blooming in May are laden with ripe fruit, and the migrating birds that left in the spring start to return\u2014you\u2019ll notice the different bird calls, especially early in the morning. Nights begin to cool down. There is no daylight savings time here, so it gets dark earlier but not artificially early.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Winter starts in December, <\/strong>and while you\u2019ll have warm days, it can get cool enough to wear a sweater or a jacket. Unless your pool is heated, you may want to pack away the bathing suits for now. Arizona\u2019s winter air is clear and provides high, bright blue skies. Trees slowly shed their leaves, tomatoes and other container crops ripen, and rains start. The mountain tops become capped with snow, at least above 5,500 feet. Oranges begin to ripen by January and you\u2019ll be picking your breakfast fruit right off your tree through February.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_882\" style=\"width: 268px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gentryrealestategroup.com\/buylowazteam\/files\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-31-at-10.25.04-PM-e1509503481194.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-882\" class=\" wp-image-882\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gentryrealestategroup.com\/buylowazteam\/files\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-31-at-10.25.04-PM-e1509503481194.png\" alt=\"Flagstaff\" width=\"258\" height=\"172\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-882\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\">Flagstaff, Arizona<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\">If you miss ice and snow, you can always travel about two miles north to Flagstaff or Snowflake to shred some gnar and get your snow fix.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"> <strong><br \/>\nMyth #2: Snakes and scorpions are a constant menace <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Fact:<\/strong> Not really.\u00a0 While Arizona has its share of critters you don\u2019t see in the Northeast,\u00a0 simply understanding their behaviors and modus vivendi is enough to avoid any threat. Snakes hibernate in winter and are most prevalent in spring when it warms up. Luckily, most snakes here are harmless, and even rattlesnakes avoid inhabited areas for the most part, although caution should be taken, particularly with pets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\">Scorpions are more often found in newer subdivisions, where their desert habitat has recently been disrupted. However, scorpions can nest wherever they feel comfy, so it\u2019s important to keep your property clear of wood piles and debris that could invite squatters of the 8-legged arachnid variety. Contrary to what you may have heard, pest control services <em>can<\/em> get rid of scorpions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Myth #3:\u00a0 If your house has a termite problem, there\u2019s no getting rid of them<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Fact:<\/strong> False. Some out-of-state buyers are reluctant to consider a house that has been treated for termites because they\u2019ve heard it\u2019s an incurable affliction, but the truth is that most homes in Arizona are susceptible to termites at one time or another. Proper treatment can ensure that your house will remain termite free for the long-term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Myth #4: Your air-conditioning bill in summer will cost a fortune<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gentryrealestategroup.com\/buylowazteam\/files\/2017\/11\/home_energy_audit-e1509505550424.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-884\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gentryrealestategroup.com\/buylowazteam\/files\/2017\/11\/home_energy_audit-e1509505550424.png\" alt=\"home energy audit\" width=\"241\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><strong>Fact:<\/strong> Not necessarily. While air-conditioning in an Arizona summer is as vital as heating in a northern winter, there are ways to mitigate air conditioning costs. Solar panels are becoming increasingly popular as retrofits and in new home construction, and Arizona is the perfect setting for them. If you\u2019re looking at a home that is not already outfitted with solar panels, consider having a whole-house energy audit performed to learn what cost-saving improvements you can make. Some companies offer these audits for free.\u00a0 Adding insulation, upgrading air ducts, installing sunscreens on the exterior sides of windows, upgrading interior shades, and installing new weather stripping if it\u2019s an older home can help cut energy bills drastically.\u00a0 Landscaping with shade trees and vegetation is another great energy-saving fix.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Myth #5: You don\u2019t need a home inspection in Arizona<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Fact:<\/strong> \u00a0While they\u2019re not required, home inspections before buying are highly recommended. A home inspection is the best way to avoid costly surprises after you\u2019ve moved in. \u00a0In the case of lender-owned homes, the bank might not be aware of any problems the house is concealing. Whether the house is new construction or resale, a home inspection is a good idea. Make sure to have a contingency in place that states you can back out of a contract if the inspection turns up any serious problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Myth #6 Thanks to the dry climate, your roof should last forever.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Fact:<\/strong> Roofs in Arizona need to be repaired and even replaced just like anywhere else. While the sun shines 85 percent of the time here, and rainfall is generally low, it may be easier to take a roof for granted, which is a mistake. Arizona roofs do need regular maintenance and repairs. For example, a pitched roof with tiles may appear to be in great shape, but the underlayment hidden beneath the tiles will still need periodic replacing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Myth #7: Your desert landscape plants never need watering. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_885\" style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gentryrealestategroup.com\/buylowazteam\/files\/2017\/11\/AUDOBON.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-885\" class=\" wp-image-885\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gentryrealestategroup.com\/buylowazteam\/files\/2017\/11\/AUDOBON.png\" alt=\"Arizona desert native plants\" width=\"310\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentryrealestategroup.com\/buylowazteam\/files\/2017\/11\/AUDOBON.png 600w, https:\/\/gentryrealestategroup.com\/buylowazteam\/files\/2017\/11\/AUDOBON-300x174.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-885\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\">Photo: Audubon Arizona<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Fact:<\/strong> Even desert native plants need water, especially due to Arizona\u2019s low annual rainfall.\u00a0 Native desert garden landscapes are beautiful, colorful, and thirsty. Not only the succulents, but the cactus, mesquites, and paloverdes too. Consider a drip irrigation system if one isn\u2019t already installed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\">Resist any temptation to rip out the existing native landscape in favor of a lawn, unless you\u2019re gung-ho to take on a ton of maintenance, including heavy watering in summer and the necessary over-seeding in winter to keep the lawn green. Not to mention mowing in 110-degree heat!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\">Learn about low-water, low-maintenance desert landscape design. If you\u2019re patient and give these native plants time to grow, the results can be spectacular, as well as eco-friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Myth #8:\u00a0 Arizona is teeming with wildlife, which is awesome.

Not only does feeding wildlife interfere with their essential natural foraging skills, they will keep coming back to your property, which can cause all sorts of trouble according to the Arizona Game and Fish Department. \u00a0You can scare them away by making loud noises and throwing small rocks their way, but never throw anything at them in an attempt to harm or injure them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 14pt\">If you own a very small dog or cat, keep it inside your house when you aren\u2019t outside with it, lest a predatory creature mistakes your pet for dinner. Always walk your dog on a leash to prevent him or her from darting up to a wild animal. Keep your pet\u2019s food dish inside the house\u2014even a 6-foot high fence won\u2019t protect your pet\u2019s food or your small pet from coyotes, bobcats, or large predatory birds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;font-size: 10pt\">8 myths and facts about Arizona<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arizona Myths, Facts Considering relocating to warmer, sunnier climes?
