[ In honor of World Book Day! Yay Books! ]📖📚 — Sibella Court is one of my fave designers. I've loved her books and aesthetics for so long. I get so much inspiration from them (for my bookmaking, art-making, and staging and home design). I love her color palettes, her curations, her cabinets of curiosities. She has a way of making untidiness look intentional and interesting. A few months ago, she closed up her 'The Society, Inc' shop and I was excited to see her next act. Many of us first learned of her from her layouts in early Anthropologie catalogs many years ago. I used to keep those catalogs because of her designs. She would make the most whimsically-interesting sets for the catalog. So, as a mini-homage to Sibella Court's work as inspiration to me (and so many others), I wanted to share pics from her books that live on my shelves: Book Titles: • Bowerbird • Etcetera Etc. • Gypsy • Imaginarium • Nomad • The Stylists Guide to NYC @thesocietyinc @sibellacourt sibellacourt_studio

🦉🦉 Check out what my client and I saw on Sunday while touring houses! Not one, but two Great Horned Owls nesting in the tree. Such a special thing! Happy Earth Day!

Earth day is every day here in Tucson. Truly. Climate initiatives that have an impact need to be orchestrated at the institutional level. Individual acts matter but large scale agencies create more shifts by using their policy and economic muscle to drive change. Here in Tucson, Mayor Regina Romero spearheads 5 significant climate initiatives that are important to know about: climateaction.tucsonaz.gov/ Climate Action Hub of City of Tucson 1. Tucson Million Trees: By now you have likely heard of this powerful program by Mayor Romero to plant one million trees by 2030. Get the facts at: https://climateaction.tucsonaz.gov/pages/milliontrees-tree-facts 2. Electric Vehicle Readiness: Strategies include the interactive map of EV Charging Stations Across Tucson. More about the goals and timeline for the city government and the greater community found here: https://climateaction.tucsonaz.gov/pages/electricvehicles 3. Storm to Shade (S2S): City of Tucson's Green Stormwater Infrastructure program. S2S installs new Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) on public property throughout the City of Tucson and maintains new and (select) existing GSI. Find the Pocket Guide (pdf) here: https://climateaction.tucsonaz.gov/pages/gsimaintenanceguide 4. Solar Tucson: Did you know that in 2007, Tucson was designated by the U.S. Department of Energy as a Solar America City. About 25% of the City of Tucson facilities are solar-powered. Explore all of the solar installation programs across the city here: https://climateaction.tucsonaz.gov/pages/solartucson 5.

My clients are asking for the latest updates about the housing market in Tucson. Here's a Market Report for Tucson for the recent month... #marketreport2025 #tucsonrealestate #realestate #tucsonhomesforsale #arizonarealtor #LetsGetYouMoving

I usually do much more reading then watching shows when I take down time, but lately I've been captivated by this excellent series on Apple TV called "Home." Showcasing innovation in housing use, design, and materials all over the world, it features a different visionary in each episode. It has reminded me how important making a home is for humans and how many different ways that can look. It is beautifully produced and shot and is oozing with inspiring people and houses. I learned so much! If you need a boost of creative inspiration and a recharge of hopefuless, give it a watch. I loved every episode.

Because there are time limits on when an allegation can be filed with HUD after an alleged violation, you should report housing discrimination as soon as possible.

"Understanding HOAs (Homeowners Associations): A Key Factor in Buying and Selling Property" When buying or selling a property, there are a variety of factors to consider: location, price, condition, and more. One often-overlooked aspect is whether the property is governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA). Understanding the role of an HOA is essential to making an informed decision, as it can have a significant impact on the buying and selling process, and on your daily life as a homeowner. In this article, I’ll discuss what an HOA is, the costs associated with it, and how it affects property transactions. We’ll also break down the pros and cons of buying a property that is within an HOA. https://realestateamron.com/blog/ 📸: @jcervantes0387 #hoa #homeownerassociation #tucsonrealestate #realestate #tucsonhomesforsale #arizonarealtor #letsgetyoumoving #happyhomesellers #happyhomebuyers ---- Amron Lehte REALTOR® Tierra Antigua Realty Direct: #520-486-7004 Web: www.realestateamron.com Socials: FB: realestateamron/ LI: amron-lehte/ YT: @realestateamron

Read my latest article at : In today’s article, I get into 1031 Exchanges as a powerful tax-deferral strategy. So what’s a 1031? The name refers to the Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. A 1031 exchange permits taxpayers to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting proceeds from a sold property into another like-kind property. The gain is postponed rather than forgiven, allowing investors to grow their portfolios more efficiently. In the article, I discuss the key requirements, 2 types of 1031 exchanges, the “boot,” and when they are beneficial and when they are not recommended. I touch on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 and how it imposed restrictions on 1031s. I also provide additional resources for further investigation.

I was excited to learn about Tucson’s newest music venue called “La Rosa” at The Benedictine at 800 N. Country Club Road coming soon! With preservation and high architectural aesthetics, they are transforming the chapel space with better sound quality (although chapels are known for their amazing acoustics) as well as new lighting behind the columns. They are also adding a restaurant adjacent called Rosie’s Tavern. The original Benedictine Convent and Perpetual Adoration Shrine is now on the National Registry of Historic Places. It was built in the Spanish Revival style beginning in 1939 designed by famed architect Josias Joesler and adapted by Roy Place. I have engaged with the Benedictine in two different capacities over the years. During the pandemic it served as a refugee transition station where my family and I would regularly donate to help support the families there. Later, we lived in one of the luxury loft apartments while we were remodeling our home.

Read my latest blog article at:  << realestateamron.com/blog/ >> “CC&Rs + Housing Discrimination: Past and Present in Pima County” Have you worked with a realtor and located the home of your dreams? Now, amidst all of the paperwork that has been provided to you about the property, you are sent the CC&Rs. What are those? And why does it matter to my purchase of this home? CC&Rs stand for the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. They are the rules between property owners and neighbors, oftentimes in a subdivision or a homeowners association, but not always. As early as the 1900s, these CC&Rs prevented people of color and other marginalized individuals from buying and renting in certain neighborhoods. These racist covenants became illegal after the passage of the 1968 Fair Housing Act. My latest blog article is not just a “history lesson” on U.S. residential segregation, however, because these racist CC&Rs still exist — here in Pima County, Arizona. This week, while collecting paperwork for my upcoming house listing, I noted the screenshots of the cover pages of the CC&Rs attached to this house, built in 1955. (see screenshots)  Some title and real estate companies are choosing to simply leave this information out of the listing packets with the hopes that it will not highlight the historical discriminatory document that is tied to the property — in the present day.

This lively community sits amidst the beautiful Rincon Mountains and is filled with friendly neighbors, inviting amenities, and plenty of gatherings to make you feel right at home. One of the things I love about buying a newly built home is knowing everything is fresh, new, and never used. Just ask my recent client—she shared, 'I am a new-home kind of gal. I love knowing that no one has used the backyard, the washing machine, or walked on these carpets. Something about the feeling of buying a new home gives me a sense of finally Making It.'

While previewing for my buyer client this past week, I videoed our drive of the neighborhood of Phase 1 and walk inside 2 of the models: Acacia and Rosewood. This community is a great example of a well-planned master community. It is nestled into the 7-acre Fantasy Island Bike Park (i.e. surrounded by protected, undeveloped land) located in southeast Tucson. I spoke with a neighbor there who raved about the parks and community center for his young daughter. But perhaps surprising to some — it has a nice diverse profile. This is because there were 13 different models that were built and customized by buyers with choices including paint colors and elevation varieties. The old tropes of “little boxes made of ticky-tacky” does not apply to this modern, thoughtful new build community. If you are in the market for a home, find a REALTOR® that knows about the different new build communities and companies, as well as the particulars of buying a newly-built home (like me! 😉). Ask us to tour newly built homes with you and we’ll show you why they are great options to consider. They are competitive in price and have all of the benefits of new: new appliances, new energy efficient materials, new home systems (like HVAC), among other things. Many are built with solar and electric car hook-up options. If you’ve ever maintained a 70-year old house you know that it can sometimes come with great financial risk!

www.realestateamron.com/sell/downsizing Downsizing, The Joy and Consideration of In my latest article, I discuss Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, AARP’s Housing for a Changing America, and touch on points made by Realtor.com’s recent article on the subject as well. Reach out to get a professional home valuation and seller’s net sheet (estimate). Crunching the numbers will allow you to make an informed decision as to whether you should sell your current home and downsize or to stay put.  As an SRES REALTOR®, I have a network of professional service providers that I can offer referrals and support to assist my clients with their downsizing needs. #downsize #boomers #property #homesellers #homeequity #hireaprofessional

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Civil Rights Day, let’s explore how King fought for Fair Housing. What civil rights efforts directly led up to the Fair Housing Act and how was Dr. King involved? The Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964 and the Voting Rights Act passed in 1965, both of which codified legal protections against racial discrimination. King and other civil rights advocates lead the Chicago Freedom Movement in 1965 to 1966 in Chicago, Illinois. It fought against discrimination in housing specifically, as well as in education and employment. During these efforts, he directly negotiated agreements with city leaders to address housing inequality. He advocated for the right to buy a home anywhere. In 1967, King spoke about the need for federal fair housing legislation in his speech titled “The Other America” at Stanford University. The Fair Housing Act was signed into law in 1968, one week after Dr. King’s assassination. President Lyndon B. Johnson increased pressure on Congress to pass the bill after King’s assassination. What is the Fair Housing Act? Originally passed in 1968, it made it illegal to discrimination in the sale, rental, or buying of housing based on race, color, religion, or national origin. It was first amended in 1974 to include protections against discrimination based on sex. And in 1988, it was modified again this time to protect those with disabilities and families with children against housing discrimination. “[Now], over 50 years since Dr. King’s assassination and the passage of the Fair Housing Act, there is still a lot left to achieve in the realm of fair housing. While we have made strides thanks to the efforts of civil rights activists, the need for such advocacy has far from disappeared.” -Equal Rights Center @equalrightscntr FMI: Read my latest blog at www.realestateamron.com/blog #fairhousing #mlkday #martinlutherking #equalhousingopportunity

🚗💡 Exciting developments for our region's future! 💡🚗 Last night, I had the chance to dive deep into the RTA Next project, which will be on the ballot this November. This isn't just another vote — it’s about shaping the future of our transportation system! 🛣️✨ For over a year, the RTA has been gathering feedback from the community to ensure they’re meeting our needs. Now, they’re finalizing a new 20-year plan to keep our region moving forward — and it’s all powered by the countywide half-cent sales tax renewal. 💸 This funding is crucial for creating a stronger, more connected economy and improving our daily commutes. Want to know more about how this could impact YOU? Stay informed and make sure your voice is heard in November! 📅 #RTANext #PimaCounty #TransportationFuture #CommunityDriven #VoteInNovember #RoadToBetterTransit Read the draft plan, watch the video — and complete the survey! https://rtanext.com/ Favorite soundbite: "RTA is a builder, not a pothole-fixer" 😏 IYKYK Great to chat with @anasellsre and Maximo Gomez #TierraAntiguaRepresents @tierraantiguarealty

As realtors, we may not be interior designers, but we can’t overlook the impact that color has on our listings! Color trends influence everything from fashion to home design — and of course, real estate. Whether we're staging a home or helping sellers update spaces like kitchens or accent walls, it's worth considering how the right colors can grab buyers’ attention. After all, colors are a powerful tool in creating the right vibe and making a home feel inviting! For 2025 listings, I'm loving the rich, warm, and luxurious tones picked by Pantone and Behr as their colors of the year. These shades could be just the touch to make a listing stand out! What colors are you excited to try this year? Let’s talk about how we can make your home shine! ✨ pantone.com/color-of-the-year/2025 behr.com/consumer/inspiration/2025-color-of-the-year/ #coloroftheyear2025 #interiordesign #colorsells

For Today's FAQs, I want to return to the industry-altering "NAR Settlement" that took place this year. * Let's answer a few questions specific to homebuyers and the new regulations per the case. FAQs 1. How did the settlement affect real estate contracts? 2. How did the settlement affect listed homes on the MLS listings database? 3. How did the settlement affect VA loans and the prohibition on buyers paying commissions directly? The bottom line: The settlement empowers consumers with additional choice and transparency when buying a home. As before, however, compensation for your agent remains fully negotiable and is not set by law. Agents who are REALTORS® are here to help you navigate the homebuying process and are ethically obligated to work in your best interest.

Can't say enough great things about this show! @broadwayintucson brought another smash to the stage! My teenager and I are pretty big theater nerds and we loved it! In his words: "It was raunchy, so funny, and relevant." You know the writing is excellent when a teenager feels the script is "relevant!" 😂 He especially loved the set designs and the Sand Worm. I was happy to see that Bob and his shrunken head made an appearance. Their shows are always great but this one was Spectacular! #theatertucson #beetlejuice

The @cityoftucson has recently completed People, Communities, and Homes Investment Plan (P-CHIP) which outlines a comprehensive five-year strategy to tackle the housing affordability crisis and reduce barriers to homeownership. This plan emphasizes equitable opportunities, recognizing that affordable, stable housing is essential for both health and economic well-being. Key Highlights: 1. Expanding Affordable Housing Supply: The plan prioritizes the development of middle housing—including duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhomes, and casitas—designed to fit into walkable neighborhoods. These housing types are critical for meeting the needs of middle-income families and increasing overall affordability. 2. Addressing Housing Discrimination: With 35% of surveyed residents identifying source-of-income discrimination as a barrier to housing, the plan underscores the importance of inclusive policies to address inequities in the housing market. 3. Supporting Homeownership Stability: Strategies focus on reducing threats to stable homeownership, such as rising housing costs and unforeseen financial burdens, while enhancing assistance programs for new and current homeowners. 4. Integrating Community-Centric Solutions: Recognizing that housing challenges are interconnected with broader social issues, P-CHIP also includes measures to address food insecurity, early childhood education, and community health to improve overall well-being. A Holistic Approach: The plan’s central theme is “Pathways to Opportunity.” Housing cost burden—when households spend over 30% of their income on housing—is a significant concern. The city aims to provide creative, innovative housing solutions tailored to Tucson’s diverse community needs, enabling equitable access to affordable housing and fostering economic resilience. For more details, visit the P-CHIP website. https://p-chip.tucsonaz.gov/pages/plan #tucson #homeownership #communitystrategicplan

News break: Yes, US mortgage rates have just hit their lowest level since early 2023. And yes, the number of mortgage applications rose. However, the economic picture (for women, specifically) is not improving overall. 〽💸🚺 "Women make up the majority of low-wage workers in the U.S., partly because many are trying to figure out how to earn money while also caring for children. Jobs that can accommodate those schedules tend to pay less." The takaway: "This is the first significant widening of the gender gap since 2003. Men's median earnings rose 3% last year, compared to 1.5% for women." Source: @axios @uscensusbureau

Are you hankering for less property to maintain, pay for, and manage?

Want to know where seasoned real estate investors are buying? Back to school buzz is not just for students. Real estate investors look to buy properties near colleges and universities. 🌟 High demand: School and college enrollment rates remain high, which is a great sign for landlords nearby. 💰 Premium rates: The demand fills bedrooms and allows for higher rental rates. ⚖️ Economic stability: Even when the market attempts to erode value, college town properties remain resilient. 😍 Parents: Oftentimes, the parents of students are co-signing on the lease, typically ensuring prompt and full payment. 🔑 Key property features: Focus on proximity to campus, public transit, fast casual eateries and grocery stores. #realestateinvestments #universityproperties #collegetowns #tucsonrealestate #realestate #tucsonhomesforsale #arizonarealtor

Besides the obvious things… Like killer photos & videos, staging and pricing your home right, there are a few *little things* that I’ve seen take a listing from good to great. In real estate, it’s the small tweaks that can make the biggest impact. Here are a few → 1. Home Prep Walkthrough During this time, we’ll cover your home from top to bottom. I’ll make suggestions for impactful adjustments I’d like to see before we go live with the listing. This could look like repairing a leaky faucet, removing window treatments, or changing from cool to warmer lightbulbs. I’ll provide you with a home prep checklist so you’ll be confident we’ve covered everything. 2. De-personalize Sellers have the most success when their home is a clean slate. Less is more here! Stow away any personal items, pet toys, mail & documents. Pretend you are seeing your own house for the first time. 3. Showing Ready Your listing is live and it’s show time! I’ll provide you with a showing checklist to create a welcoming atmosphere for guests. Closing toilet seats, opening blinds to bring in natural light, sweeping off the front porch, cleaning windows - all little tweaks that will elevate your space. These are just a few strategies that we utilize to get you moving! Want to hear more?
