gilbert: Home Prices Increase in the Valley - 05/07/12 10:56 AM
Home prices are rising quickly in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area – shooting up a record 8% in March and around 20% in the past year. According to a new report from the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University, the median home price in the Phoenix Area is now around $134,900.

Every Friday, HUD posts a current list of homes for sale through the HUD Homestore website. There are many benefits to purchasing a HUD home - including 3% concession towards your closing costs!

It is possible to save money at closing. Whether you are buying a new AZ home or refinancing one you already own, closing costs can often make the process more expensive than expected.

January is the coldest month, even if you live in a southern state like Florida, who wants to move in to a new house in January.
Does anyone really feel like shopping in January when they have just completed a … (0 comments)

gilbert: Check Carefully into Foreclosed AZ Real Estate Bargain - 01/28/10 05:04 PM
For potential AZ real estate investors who have money in their pockets, today's real estate market seems full of bargains. However it still pays be very careful before purchasing property no matter what the sale price.
Some of the best bargains out there have foreclosure written all over them. One of the largest red flags with foreclosures is they are held in the lender's hands, and more often than not, the lender is not caring for the property.
In cold climates this could mean frozen pipes or water damage, and in other areas, it could mean general plumbing problems. In general … (0 comments)

gilbert: Update Regarding Arizona's Anti-Deficiency Statute - 08/20/09 07:38 PM
The governer's office has approved the special session of the legislature to review repealing the anti-defiency status. The good news is the Senate has transmitted HB 2008 to the governor's office.

gilbert: Diary of a Short Sale - Part 2 - 05/29/09 01:36 PM
I continued to work very hard to get the short sale approved without a the Promissory Note requirement. A little reminder from Part 1 regarding the background situation, the home is in Gilbert, AZ and is protected under the Arizona anti-deficiency statues since it is the original purchase money mortgage. The owners put down 10% and have a 90% mortgage with Wells Fargo.
After many attempts to get Radian to remove the Promissory Note removed, they would not budge. I spoke with Vince the VP at Radian for Loss Mitigation. A very rude individual that just yelled at me regarding the short sale. He was quoting … (0 comments)

gilbert: March 2009 Market Conditions Report - 04/23/09 12:39 AM
The Phoenix metro area's strong seller market from 2005 has gone to a complete reversal, going from boom to bust. However, 2009 is promising to be a year of recovery with many positive signs in market. The large amount of supply has created a buyer's market with record inventory levels. That is now changing with March 2009 showing a 6.8 month supply of homes.
Prices have declined approximately 31% year over year, so little to no appreciation is expected this year. I anticipate 2009 to continue as a year of recovery as the market showing very positive signs and sure enough, … (0 comments)
