 Nestled along the Colorado River near the spot where Arizona, California and Nevada meet, Bullhead City is a budding community. The scenic beauty, deep blue skies and majestic mountains make this community a visual paradise. Originally known as Hardyville, the settlement began when William Harrison Hardy began operating a ferry, trading post and inn on the Colorado River in 1864. Construction of Davis Dam, located to the North, began in 1942. Construction was halted because necessary materials were consumed by World War II efforts, however it was resumed in 1946 and the Dam was completed in 1950. A popular recreation area, visitors may choose between the cold, fast-running waters of the Colorado River or the smooth, warm waters of Lake Mohave for fishing and water recreation. Other popular activities include off-roading, hiking and golfing. The community hosts annual events such as rodeos, a Bluegrass Festival, powerboat races, chili cook-offs, and the Harley River Run. Just across the Colorado River is beautiful Laughlin, Nevada home to nine casino’s each bringing several entertainers to the area throughout the year. Links to both area Chambers of Commerce are listed below to assist with upcoming community events.  There are many things to see and do in and around Bullhead City. The Colorado River Museum is located on Highway 95 between the Laughlin Bridge and the entrance to Davis Camp. The Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, but is closed during July and August. A $1.00 donation for adults is appreciated and children are free. The museum houses displays showing the many facets of the community’s history. Located to the South of town, and East on Boundary Cone Road, you will find the mining community of Oatman, Arizona. Step back in time, visit the Oatman hotel, feed the burros, enjoy refreshments, or tour the mine. The Bullhead City – Laughlin airport supports full jet service. Incorporated in 1984, Bullhead is a relatively new city, but has grown consistently over the last 20 years to occupy over 33,000 residents. The area attracts just fewer than 5 million visitors per year. Major employers in the area are the 9 casino properties in Laughlin, Wal-Mart Super Center, Mohave Generating Station, Western Arizona Regional Medical Center, Mohave Electric Cooperative and the city, county and state offices. Bullhead City is home to the desert climate. Average summer temperatures range from the low 90’s to the high 110’s. Average winter temperatures range from the low 40’s to the high 60’s and bring winter visitors to the area.

Buyers Remorse >First Time Buyers
People who are selling their homes should know something about the market group from which their buyers are likely to appear. Many homes are perfect for a first-time buyer. First-time buyers are making a major purchase they have never attempted before, and may be unusually subject to the inevitable stress and anxiety that goes with buying a home.
First-time home buyers are usually younger (between 25 and 34 years of age) and have distinct buying patterns. First-timers are often looking for homes that are smaller, and perhaps older, than repeat buyers. The median home size for first-time buyers is about 1450 square feet. Approximately four in ten first-timers will buy homes built before 1960, compared to two in ten repeat buyers.
First-time buyers are in the process of developing a clearly defined sense of what they want in a house. They may not have enough money to buy their ultimate dream home at first, but seventy-four percent say they like their new home better than their previous residence.
