April Showers Bring May For Sale Signs

Real estate signs and riders are an iconic part of American neighborhoods, along with balloons and directions to open houses. Families looking for new homes can cruise around their favorite neighborhoods and easily see what properties are available.

“Under Contract” and “SOLD” riders are a beacon of the American dream in action.

Just like flowers need rain and sunlight to bloom year-after-year, real estate signs need your help to remain part of our communities. Post and panel signs have recently come under attack from one local government that is exploring limiting the location, length and frequency they can be displayed.

The Arizona REALTOR Party had a new, temporary sign ordinance pulled from the Scottsdale City Council agenda, but it’s tentatively scheduled to return for consideration and possible adoption. Read more here.1
