phoenix: 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.
While the market appreciation isn’t expected to continue to rise like it did in the boom, home prices are still expected to rise through the rest of the year. The appreciation is accredited to the combination of a drop in bank-owned homes available, decrease in overall housing inventory, … (0 comments)

phoenix: Phoenix Housing Market on the Rise - 03/02/12 04:40 PM
The housing market is showing signs of improvement. January’s home sales are up 8.1% on a year-over-year basis. This is especially good due to the Phoenix area being one of the worst declines in the housing market nationally. At the worst point, Phoenix homes declined to 57% of their peak values.
The good news is that January’s home sales are up 8.1% on a year-over-year scale. Across the greater Phoenix area, buyer demand is also up as indicated by higher pending sales and homes receiving multiple offers. We are actually seeing a slightly 2005 style market … (1 comments)

phoenix: Arizona Home Improvement Choices - 10/06/10 03:57 PM
Home improvement projects or renovations are completed on an Arizona home for one of two reasons, either for investment purposes or to enhance the lives of those who live in the home. When projects are chosen for the homeowner's enjoyment it is necessary to understand that the money spent on the improvement may not be recouped when the AZ home is sold. When choosing improvements meant to enhance the value of a home then it is necessary to understand what projects give the most return as well as what projects will not recoup much money, if any at all.

phoenix: Arizona Real Estate: There is Good With the Bad - 08/27/10 05:06 PM
When it comes to Arizona real estate there is good news with the bad news. Reports came out this week that showed a significant drop in real estate sales volume. The increase in sales volume due to home buyer tax credits was bound to be followed by a drop, as most surges are. The tax credit was in full swing during the summer of 2009 and packed a bigger punch when it was extended and expanded to include existing home owners along with new home buyers.
The last extension of the home buyer tax credit expired at the end of June, … (0 comments)

phoenix: Save Money At Closing - 07/16/10 02:03 PM
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. When refinancing closing costs can actually get in the way of making a change a poor financial decision. What many borrowers may not realize is that cutting some of the fees out at closing can happen.
When researching a new loan check with your current lender first. Chances are, if you are in good standing, they do not want to lose your business and will work with you … (0 comments)

phoenix: Look Ahead When it Comes to Arizona Real Estate - 03/01/10 01:13 PM
The latest real estate headlines for the US are that home sales were down in January, some of these headlines even use the word "plunged". However, there are a few areas scattered around that managed to buck this trend and no media frenzy can change that. Think about it, is it really a surprise that sales are down in January? 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)

phoenix: 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)

phoenix: 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)

phoenix: New plan seeks to streamline loan mods - 11/21/08 09:31 AM
Fannie, Freddie to lead the way
A new plan to streamline loan modifications for homeowners who have fallen behind on their mortgage payments could help "hundreds of thousands" of borrowers avoid foreclosure.
But the plan is far less ambitious than a competing proposal for the government to guarantee payments on as many 3 million loan modifications.
With Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the HOPE NOW alliance of 27 loan servicers standing behind it, the new streamlined modification program rolled out today by the Bush administration is expected to provide thousands of delinquent borrowers another alternative to foreclosure. In the past, much … (0 comments)

phoenix: Phoenix Housing Update: September Sales Surge 81%; Prices Plunge 28% - 10/21/08 12:22 PM
During September, existing home sales in the greater Phoenix metro area increased a remarkable 81% year over year, bringing the number of transactions recorded last month to the highest level seen since June 2006 (near the peak of the housing bubble). Similar to recent months, this volume improvement continued to be stimulated by sharp declines in home prices and foreclosure activity, with Phoenix area median prices falling 28% year over year to $170,000. Compared to September 2005, when the median price stood at $260,000, prices have declined 35%.

phoenix: Hope for Homeowners Act of 2008 - 08/15/08 06:35 PM
As you are all aware the "Hope for Homeowners Act of 2008" was signed into law by President Bush and hopefully this will helpful in keeping current homeowners away from foreclosure. It is forecasted that although taking effect October 1st, 2008 that it will be sometime after that before the government and lenders are able to implement the changes detailed in the act. It is my opinion that we are now going to be faced with 3 major challenges in regards to creating "New Home Owners" once the act takes effect, they are as follows: 1) The termination of Seller-Funded Down Payment Assistance Programs2) The … (0 comments)
