Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:42:18 -0600

You thought I'd forget, didn't you? No way!

Here's the Flagstaff real estate market report for October 2009.

By the way, if anyone is thinking of breaking into my Flagstaff home while I'm away, it's going to be occupied, and it's alarmed, and guarded by the fellow below. So, don't even think about it!

US GreenBuild Conference -- Don't Overlook Flagstaff!

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:28:56 -0600

The US Green Building Council's annual international meeting convenes in Phoenix, Arizona on Wednesday, featuring a keynote address by former Vice-President Al Gore. Amid all that hoopla, as my elder relatives might have said, you could miss the best part: The post-conference package offer to visit Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon and sights along the way.

Don't miss it! I wish I could be here to greet you (well, that's almost true -- I am looking forward to my vacation).

I'll be away for a couple of weeks, so this is the last market report until Thanksgiving week. While I'm away, Kody Taylor will be answering my phone and email messages and Kody and Dianne Patterson, both great agents with RE/MAX Peak Properties, will be taking care of my clients. Please feel free to give Kody a call or drop her a note if you want to buy or sell a Flagstaff house while I'm away.

Working on the monthly stats for October Flagstaff home sales: early read shows inventory down relative to sales. Watch for more detailed report later in the week.

In my own little real estate world, got approval on a short sale for one client, a well inspection for another, and final walk-through for a third. Buyer inquiries were brisk.

Flagstaff and Coconino County Foreclosure Scheduled November 2-6

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:53:46 -0600

I don't think that this week's long-list of scheduled foreclosure sales for Flagstaff and Coconino County makes a record, but it's still pretty long. However, as we've seen each week, the list that actually goes under the trustee's gavel will probably be much shorter. Many sales are pulled off the list the morning they were set to sell. Most of those are now in negotiation for short sales. Be that as it may, here is the list for the week of trustee's sales, as it was known Monday morning.

All sales are scheduled for 11:30 a.m. unless otherwise noted. All properties have Flagstaff addresses unless another city is indicated:

TGIF and Happy (almost) Halloween. I heard that home loan rates ticked down below 5% today! This could be the last weekend to get the first-time-home-buyer tax credit at it's full $8000 level, or any level at all really. Buyers call now!

Flagstaff real estate for me today was very busy with negotiations on short sales and marketing one listing that is not a short sale (but a really sweet property!). Meanwhile, here's what happened today in Northern Arizona real estate:

Coconino County and Flagstaff Foreclosure Sales Scheduled for This Week

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:18:58 -0500

There are many properties scheduled for trustee sale in Coconino County this week - October 26-Ocober 30, 2009. If the pattern of the year holds, most of these will not actually reach the foreclosure block this week. For those that do, look for most of them to be listed on the Northern Arizona Multiple-Listing-Service sometime in the future as bank-owned properties. Look for a report over the weekend as to which of these actually sold. Here's what's on the schedule:

All sales are scheduled for 11:30 unless otherwise noted. All sales are at the Coconino County Courthouse in Flagstaff. Weather permitting the auction happens outside on the steps, if look inside. Property addresses are Flagstaff unless another city is mentioned in the address.

Market Snapshot -- Friday, October 23, 2009 -- from Flagstaff AZ

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 00:28:01 -0500

Tonight's snapshot was delayed because I spent much of the day working on a new listing -- a great first-time-homebuyer opportunity in the Timberline neighborhood. This Flagstaff home is in great shape. Then, I ran off to a wonderful Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra performance.

While at the symphony, I ran into my title company source for Flagstaff foreclosures and she said, "Oops, I forgot to send out the list of sales for the week!" So, don't look for the foreclosure report here until Monday.

Meanwhile, here's what happened today in Northern Arizona real estate:

Foreclosures Up for Sale in Flagstaff This Week

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:52:34 -0500

There are many properties scheduled for trustee sale in Coconino County this week; however, if the pattern of the year holds, most of these will not actually be sold this week. For those that are, look for most of those to be listed on the Northern Arizona MLS sometime in the future as bank-owned properties. Look for a report over the weekend as to which of these actually sold. Here's what's on the schedule:

All sales are scheduled for 11:30 unless otherwise noted. All sales are at the Coconino County Courthouse in Flagstaff. Weather permitting the auction happens outside on the steps, if look inside. Property addresses are Flagstaff unless another city is mentioned in the address.

Should I consider renting out my house until the market improves?

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 20:57:42 -0500

This post from Payson provides food for thought for Flagstaff homeowners who are thinking of renting their homes. It's doable... just be prepared.

Via Prest Realty, Sales and Rentals in Payson, AZ:

This is my update to this article I posted originally about a year and a half ago. The sales market has not improved, in Payson.

In today's real estate market many Owners are finding that they either can't sell, or might have to sell at a very deep discount to find a buyer. Many are, therefore, turning to renting as a possible alternative to a bargain basement sale. (I'm talking here about non-occupied properties. We have many in our area- either they are 2nd homes, investment property that isn't selling, or the Owners have HAD to move for some reason).
These are some of the issues we raise with Owners who come to discuss it with us:

-Can I AFFORD to rent my house for enough time for the market to recover?
    -At least in our area (Payson, AZ) we don't see the market turning around for some time
    -Possible rent may OR MAY NOT be enough to cover your mortgage payment- rents are coming down somewhat, and there is more competition than ever, especially higher end
    -a reputable Property Management company is not going to give any refundable security deposit
from the Tenant to you, so don't count on that money. It will probably go into the company's trust
account until the Tenant moves out.
    -Do your homework and find out how long it takes comparable properties to rent, and for how much $.
    -Can you make the payment if the house doesn't rent for a few months, or if the Tenant leaves and the property takes awhile to re-rent? This is a BIGGIE. You just can't count on the property renting immediately.
    -Can you make any necessary repairs to make the place safe for renters?
    -Can you do any fix-ups needed to make it "rentable"?
    -Can you do necessary maintenance while the property is rented? What if the water heater goes out? The furnace or AC? What if there is a plumbing or roof leak? Can you repair/replace necessary items? Cosmetic items don't have to be done, but a Landlord must provide the basics.

-How "rentable" is my house?
    -How much competition is there in your area for quailified Tenants? (Believe me, NO Tenant at all is much better than the unqualified kind)
    -How easy it it to rent properties in my neighborhood? Ask a good Property Manager. (In Payson, that means us).
    -Is the rent amount I want/need reasonable? Again- ask a professional.
    -Am I willing to allow pets? (people LOVE their pets, no pets makes a place less rentable)
    -If you want to leave your house on the sales market Tenants will NOT want to rent it. You
will probably have to give them lower rent or other concessions to get it rented. And the Tenant
CAN and may "blow the sale" with any prospective Buyer. Better to take it OFF the sales market.

-How ready am I to give my house up to Tenants?
    -How emotionally attached are you? I guarantee you will have at least normal wear and tear.
    -That "accent" wall you love may make the house harder to rent. We don't want you to leave your treasured drapes (OR the furniture you just don't want anymore)
    -Are you willing to allow children? Fair Housing violations are VERY expensive.
    -Once the property is leased you CANNOT come on the property except with proper notice.
    -You MUST comply with any and all national, state, and local laws regarding rentals.

This is not intended to be a comprehensive list of things to consider. It is intended to get you thinking. A good (read "experienced") Property Management Company can give you information particular to your area. If you decide to rent out your house we STRONGLY recommend letting a professional handle it. Mistakes (letting in a Tenant who can't pay, tears up the house, makes a meth lab, fills it with illegals, etc.) can be very expensive.
Renting CAN be a viable option- don't let this scare you off. Just be aware of the possibilities and
TALK TO A PROFESSIONAL!

AR people- what would you add?
