Fort Huachuca in the Running for Space Force Mission — What That Could Mean for Sierra Vista

Image
  Big news just dropped that could launch Sierra Vista into an entirely new orbit — and I’m not just talking hype. On July 15th, Congressman Juan Ciscomani announced his full support for Fort Huachuca as one of the top contenders for a new U.S. Space Force mission and squadron. If selected, this wouldn’t just be a win for the Fort — it could mean massive opportunities for our whole region. So what’s happening? The Department of the Air Force is in the process of picking a base for a new Space Force mission focused on space awareness for Combatant Commands. Basically, it’s a squadron designed to help defend our assets in space and maintain the upper hand in future military operations. Think high-level surveillance, tracking, and protection of satellites and systems we rely on every day — for national security and beyond. Fort Huachuca is one of just  four  installations under consideration nationwide. Why? Because we’ve got what others don’t. Congressman Ciscomani said it...

Let’s just call it like it is—buying a house right now  feels  tricky. Rates are higher than they’ve been in a while, prices haven’t crashed like some were hoping, and a lot of folks are sitting on the sidelines just… waiting. And honestly? I get it. But here’s the wild part: that hesitation? It might be exactly why  this  is your window to buy. A recent article from the  Wall Street Journal  broke down how  first-time homebuyers dropped to around 1.1 million in 2024 . That’s almost half the usual number. And while that sounds like a problem, it’s actually opening up some really good opportunities, especially right here in  Sierra Vista . So what’s actually going on? A few things: Builders are dealing.  Incentives, rate buydowns, closing cost help, you name it. They’ve got homes to move and fewer buyers to fight over them. Less competition.  Bidding wars? Not so much. More negotiating power is back on the table. Rents are still rising. ...
