2008 in Surprise, AZ
January 1st, 2008 Categories: Surprise AZ General info
Happy New Year Surprise, Arizona! 
Another year and more growth has gone by. Our city continues to grow and gain recognition nationally as a great area of the Phoenix Valley to “live, work, and play”.
With local real estate and the bickering of the city council controlling the headlines in 2007 we hope for a more positive year in regards to those two issues.
2008 welcomes newly appointed mayor Lyn Truitt and two new council members in John Williams and Richard Alton.
Real estate locally hit a slow patch in the fall of 07′ but buyers for homes in the area have picked up since Thanksgiving. Sellers still have an uphill battle ahead in 2008 with stiff competition from the builders and now the bank-owned properties. There is sunshine ahead for everyone….
Big buzz on the upcoming Superbowl in Glendale. Some worldly exposure for the Phoenix West Valley should do the city good. Will New England go all the way? Who can beat them? Is Dallas coming to town in February? We will see…. I know those of you trying to cash in on renting your home for the Superbowl want to know so you can list your home on Craigslist in the cities of the AFC and NFC champions. Good luck!
Spring Training is always nice. The city just launched a new sight for this year’s schedule. It is called surprisespringtraining.com. Check it out!! I will see you there when the SF Giants are in town.
What else is happening in Surprise for 2008? Where is the mall? Which one? There is Prasada, Asante, Surprise Village, and many others. They are on the way. And yes, they will come with movie theaters. In early summer a smaller movie theater is slated to open off of Litchfield Rd and Waddell.
Some other big openings in 2008 will be a Sam’s Club in the SE corner of 303 and Bell Rd. Included in the shopping center will be a Peter Piper Pizza and other retail shops. There is also a OB/GYN clinic opening off of civic center dr, where the Keller Williams Professional Partners office is. Stop by and see me…. (plug). La Fitness will soon be breaking ground off of the SW corner of the 303 and Bell Rd.
There is so much to look forward too in Surprise,AZ. I hope your new year is filled with joy and prosperity.
Happy New Year….
