The biggest question hovering around these days is, have we hit bottom? Whether this question be a general question regarding the recession or the real estate market, we have to ask - does it matter? Whether we hit bottom a couple of months ago or are going to hit it a couple of months from now, we can all agree that we have had better times, and better times are in our future. Whether we have hit bottom or not, there is no mistake that it is still one of the most excellent buyer's market of Phoenix AZ real estate.
That being said, if we haven't hit bottom then the bottom must be close. Wouldn't it be better to buy near the bottom than miss it entirely? Nationwide there are real estate markets that are on their way down, real estate markets that have stabilized and real estate markets that are on their way back up. Whether the market hit bottom a couple of months ago, is at the bottom now, or will hit the bottom in a couple of months, the top of the market is far away.
In Phoenix AZ it is a buyer's market out there. Whether you are looking for a Phoenix AZ primary residence or a Phoenix AZ second home, now is a great time to invest in Phoenix AZ real estate. Property values are lower than they have been in years, interest rates are still hovering at 30 year lows and some tax incentives make buying Phoenix AZ real estate today more affordable than it has been in years. For all we know the real estate market might be more affordable today than it will be for many years to come.

Statistics released on Friday show the highest number of real estate sales in two years. As expected, recent reports show the combination of low interest rates, dropping home values and the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit are all seen as the biggest boosts toward the Scottsdale AZ real estate sales increase and nationwide.
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) released data that displayed a 9.4% increase in home sales for September 2009 which were the best statistics since July of 2007.
The positive signs in Scottsdale AZ real estate and nationwide is the increasing economy faith, as this seems to be another sign to many that we are slowly climbing our way out of the recession. The hope is that the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit will be extended and possibly even expanded.
Overall, 31% of homes sold in September were first time home buyers, and 29% of the sales were distressed properties across the country. While Scottsdale AZ homes for sale and real estate across the nation remain at their most affordable values in recent years the hope is that the upward, positive trend will continue.

New incentives are in the works nationwide for promoting short sales in order to avoid more foreclosures than necessary. The plan is meant to prod lenders into allowing more short sales.
Currently short sales are frequently avoided by lenders because offers are seen as too far below the last appraised value of the property, even though the foreclosed upon sales price in the end may be even lower. The incentives that are being mulled over are expected to pass soon.
The plan is to give the lender $1,000 for allowing a short sale to occur and the buyer a $1,500 credit at closing. The plan is expected to be passed by the treasury as a way to keep properties selling. Short sales are seen as a way to help the home owners nationwide avoid a credit hit as well as to take a house off the lender's books before the house becomes officially a foreclosure.
The new incentives are supposed to help avoid a foreclosure rate increase.
Today's Market is bringing out many novice investors wowed byt the low prices. Prices in Chandler, Gilbert, & Queen Creek have dropped by about 52% since the peak in 2006. Many novice investors will look at the price and think, I can just buy this at such a great price and rent it, not considering the repairs that the home may need or vacancie rates.
Here are some of the key rules for noivce investors: These rules will serve you well when followed.
Number one: Due diligence is never optional. You've got to understand the local market - and that includes not just where prices are headed, but specific market demand for rental real estate in this price segment, and even the local government's plans for the area where you're thinking of buying. How much needs to be spent to make the property rentalable, what is the area's vacancy rate.
Number two: Buy with a written plan - just like the large professional investors use, with an entry strategy and an exit strategy. How long are you going to hold onto the property, how much will it earn you during your period of holding?
And what's the endgame - a sale to another investor? 1031 Exchange into a larger property, two smaller properties,etc? Conversion to condos? Tear it down and build something that's closer to the underlying real estate's highest and best use? When it is written dowm you can analyze it better.
Number three: Calculate the actual costs of the property in advance - not just the bargain basement price, but how much you'll need to fix it and feed it - the management costs, rental commissions, vacancy costs, taxes, to name just a few.
Not know these things up front, will cause frustation, financial strain, and other surprises. And there are no good surprises in real estate.

It is possible to purchase insurance that will keep you from losing equity in your Arizona home. Arizona real estate has long been thought of as a great investment but in recent years has proved to be a bit more volatile. A company out of California has provided a solution to anyone who is uneasy about buying a new AZ home and potentially losing money in the investment. For 1% of the value of your Arizona home, you can purchase insurance that protects you in case your house depreciates.
Working Equity Inc., is essentially selling insurance that guarantees the value of your Arizona home later if you decide to sell. Of course, there are a few regulations. You must own your Arizona home for at least two years, and it must be your primary residence. Working Equity Inc. is selling peace of mind in an uncertain market, and that could be something that is worth 1% of your home value.
For more information on a unique guarantee for your Arizona home, click here, or call Gina McKinley, an Arizona realtor, for more information on Arizona home equity guarantees. Gina McKinley can be reached at (480) 355-8645 or by email.
