Dios Mio and Holy Guacamole!  The Scottsdale Foreclosure Value of the Week ... is in ... well ... Phoenix.  So I am violating the rules of my own construct, sue me.  When I tell you about this week's obscene value in the Valley of the Sun, you'll understand why I am willing to commute.

I spent the better part of the day yesterday looking at property in the South Mountain area for a specific buyer.  Odds are that we are going to move on one in a gated community in which properties were selling in the $1-1.5 million range just a couple of years ago.  When I say the South Mountain area, I mean it.  The backyards of some of these properties are the preserve.  The homes are beautiful, but it is the lots which are irreplaceable.

Between 3000-4100 square feet, these homes had lot premiums in excess of $500-600k in many instances when these were built in 2005-2006.

There are about 8 currently bank-owned and priced between $400-500,000.  Several need appliances, a couple need even more, virtually all have had the A/C's stolen, but there are some otherwise move-in ready properties in the bunch as well.  Priced at 1/3 of original value, these are incredible bargains for anyone looking in this part of the Valley.  Trust me, I've covered the area for the better part of 6 months looking for such deals for a specific client.  I've uncovered some good buys, but nothing like these.  Now that we found ours, I'm eager to find buyers for a few of the others. 

Remember, when it comes to the outright theft of a bank-owned property, there is no honor amongst thieves.  Give me a call or drop me an email if you'd like more detailed information.  Better yet, hop in your car and meet me over there ... before Johnny Crowbar does!
