homes arizona real estate: Update on Phoenix, and Mesa Arizona Real Estate Inventory as of October 15, 2011!
- 10/24/11 06:04 PM
Update on Phoenix and Mesa Inventory, Sales and Activity From time to time, I like to provide the actual numbers for my readers. Buyers and Sellers alike “should” keep abreast of the real estate market. I’m always amazed at some of the dire numbers and doom and gloom coming from the media. I personally track – almost every day, the numbers of active listings, pending and sold within the past month or few months. Remember, in January of 2005, we had “less” than 7,000 active listings – and the demand became absolutely frenzied. That isn’t very many listings since our … (7 comments)
homes arizona real estate: Are Sellers in Arizona Sufficiently Educated on the Risks of Short Selling Their Home?
- 03/06/11 07:30 AM
Recently, one of the local newspapers ran an article on the risks associated with short sales. Many agents are not familiar with the drawbacks of short sales and thus, do not explain them to nor do they properly prepare their sellers. Though Arizona is an anti-deficiency state - meaning that if a loses his/her home through foreclosure, the lender cannot collect the remaining dollars that the seller contracted to pay. Some of the lenders also honor that system with the short sales; HOWEVER, not all of them do.

homes arizona real estate: Drop Bigging Illegal in Arizona - Alive and Well in Phoenix, Arizona!
- 12/02/09 01:33 PM
Drop Bidding in Arizona is illegal! Apparently there is a disturbing trend in the Phoenix, Arizona real estate market known as "drop bidding" on the properties being put up for auction. I've provided a link for the reader's further enlightenment; however, "as usual" those that choose to stretch the boundaries of truth are finding other ways to cheat others out of purchasing these homes. In a nut shell, a drop bid is a tactic used to sell a property faster. Though this practice is legal in some states, drop bids are illegal in Arizona. Arizona law requires that opening bids on … (14 comments)
homes arizona real estate: Phoenix and Mesa, Arizona - Dollar Volume By City!
- 11/30/09 09:11 AM
I've been doing a lot of searches for homes recently, and I'm noticing a trend. I am noticing that many of the listings sold by the homeowners are competing with the short sales and bank owned properties. I send them all to my buyers so they can see how comparable each are, but hopefully this means things are settling down a bit. I came across a great graph available on our MLS which has been prepared by Mike Orr, of the Cromford Report - awesome. I'm sharing it here.
I enjoy seeing where the percentage of homes are purchased, and … (11 comments)
