Which city is most expensive?  Least?  Where does your city rank this year compared to last year?

<—– See chart provided by The Cromford Report for these interesting statistics.

There’s also a big difference in price per sqft changes depending on the price range.  To read the latest market update from Cromford, click here.  Seems the prices under $150k are on the uptick and we’ve noticed a lot of competition by investors for those homes, which have caused a moderate price increase just recently.

Typically we see a major slow down in activity during the holiday months, it will be interesting to see what these numbers look like in the spring time but it does seem the bottom has passed us here in Arizona.  No one is predicting huge gains but in recent months, we have not seen any drops which is a great indicator we are finally on the road to recovery.  Thus why we are seeing so much investor activity in our market these days.

If you have any questions or are interested in receiving help with either purchasing or selling a home, please feel free to give us a call at 480-243-4242.

We found it!  The Estates @ Annecy is one of Khovnanian’s newest and most exciting neighborhood yet!

Rebecca toured this fabulous community with Romie Tealdo and she shared with us what makes this place special.

One of the most unique things we found about this gated community is it’s offering of air conditioned 1000 sqft RV garages that are detached from the main home.  It’s not in the outskirts of town either, centrally located in North Mesa just a few minutes from the 202 Freeway.  All of the homesites are oversized to accommodate this amenity; however there is so much more here that meets the eye.

Benefits to building new rather than fighting over the Foreclosure homes in today’s market are:

• Brand New Homes have energy efficient features not normally found in Foreclosures

• Home Warranties and no mysteries about what the previous owner may have done to the home
• Peace of Mind; Easy process- no bidding wars to get into or lose out on

With homes starting in the mid-300’s and today’s rates being so low; one could have a “Custom home” for a production price, meaning it’s within reach to have the home of your dreams.  Don’t settle for less! Click here for the current prices & floorplans.

We are starting our list for folks who can take advantage of this new program, already have our first client who qualified for this program- he just did his 2nd short sale with us 1 year ago.  His new mortgage payment will be $400 less a month than what he’s paying for rent.  If you or someone you know lost their home to either Foreclosure or did a Short Sale and it’s been less than 3 years (FHA minimum waiting period if someone had “lates” on their mortgage); they should really consider doing this program while it’s still around… Time and Funds are limited.
