Greetings Weekend Warriors! 
This week’s newsletter is packed with market updates, open house dates, new listings, and a ton of local Memorial Day events to pop into in between graduation celebrations. In fact, we’ve even got a fun little contest for you and your grad! Post a pic of your cap and gown wearing kiddo (from kindergarten to higher ed!) tag @amyjonesgroup and #AmyJonesGroupGrad on IG and you’ll be entered to win a fun prize for mom or dad! Not following us yes on Facebook and Instagram?! Be sure to do that this week! It's an easy way to keep up on the real estate news you need when you need it and about a billion suggestions for fun things to do in between. Congrats Grads and Happy Memorial Day Weekend - we are so grateful for those who have served this country and for those who continue to pave the path for our future!
Memorial Day Event
On Memorial Day we remember those who paid the ultimate price defending our freedoms. Flags will be placed at each military grave and Memorial Day educational story boards will be placed around the park. Hot dogs, lemonade and ice cream treats will be served. Calling all kids 12 and under, the winners of the coloring contest will receive a $50 prize!
🗓️ Market Update May 2024 🗓️
Let's talk real estate for a minute...
First of all, it's all about competition. In today's market, sellers hold the upper hand if they've got competition, while buyers can negotiate better without it. Pricing your home right is paramount. Getting ahead of the market might eliminate multiple offers, giving buyers more negotiation power.
Secondly, roofs remain a hot topic in Arizona real estate. Our mild weather means homeowners aren't always proactive about roof maintenance. Whether buying or selling, anticipate the roof debate during inspections. Budget for negotiations and keep up with annual maintenance to stay ahead.
And finally, let's talk numbers. Buyer compensation, estimating your proceeds after a sale, and down payment concerns are common questions. My advice? Know your numbers inside out before making any moves. Skip the online calculators and consult with a real professional for accurate guidance.
Let's Chat! Find a time that works for you and your family!
In a digital world, it's nice to connect in person. Our team of full time real estate agents (and mommas!) are here to answer your questions and chances are, if you have them - we've had them to! The local Arizona real estate market can be tricky if all you've got to go off of is click bait and old news - we've got the most current stats and can share with you exactly what our clients are seeing...

Water Day with ICAN Positive Programs
The Amy Jones Group is volunteering for Water Day with our friends over at ICAN Positive Programs for Youth and we'd love for you to join in on the fun with us! We'll be supplying treats from our nonprofit organization Community on Purpose and volunteers will get the chance to play some outdoor water games with the kids over at Adams Elementary in Mesa. Spaces are limited so reserve yours today - and don't forget to bring the sunscreen. RSVP HERE to snag your spot!
Community Bridges Back to School Event
Every child deserves a backpack filled with the supplies they need for a successful school year. The Amy Jones Group and Community on Purpose are currently collecting backpacks, pencils, pens, scissors, pencil pouches, crayons, markers, highlighters, multi-color folders, water and gift cards for purchasing additional school supplies in partnership with Mesa Prevention Alliance and Community Bridges for their annual Back 2 School event this summer.
This event not only helps bring Mesa families free backpacks stuffed with school supplies and resources to ensure youth, parents, and guardians are prepared for the start of the new school year, but it also will connect them with resources and support within the community.
For more information on donating supplies, running a drive in your community, or scheduling a pickup of your donations (our agents are always on the go!), send us an email at [email protected]!
