I honestly never thought I’d end up here!

I remember Lake Havasu City, AZ well, well kind of, from my earlier years.
We’d pack as many of us as we could into whoseever car we thought could make the trip there and back from Orange County, bring money for gas and beer, and make the journey.

So what was Lake Havasu City and the Colorado River Communities like to a bunch of 20-some-year-olds back in the 1970s? It was, in a word, fun. Swimming all day, camping on the beach, and savoring every hour we could squeeze out of our time there. There were a lot of dirt roads, one stoplight, one grocery store, and one launch ramp. Want a free lunch? Go on a tour of the home lots that were everywhere… many on streets that had names and no pavement. Yet.

Fast forward forty-some years and I find myself back at the lake, now with a wife, kids, and grandkids. Lake Havasu City is completely different, and completely the same. I can still go out on the water any time I want. The sun is still amazing when it sets and paints the mountains purple. There are more people. Most of the roads are paved. We have more stoplights and more four-way stops per capita than any place I have ever been. And the people who have settled here and continue to do so, well they are just special people.

In the following blog posts, I hope to share with you trends that I see in this area and add context to them in a way that may just help you make decisions about what you plan to do here or anywhere in the Southwest when it comes to Land, Homes or investment Real Estate.
