- 01/18/11 04:07 AM
So my Sedona AZ Home isn't rising and yet my homeowner's insurance policy keeps going up? How come?

Many buyers come into to the Sedona Homes for Sale marketplace not wanting a typical home but the ease and safety of a condominium.

- 12/27/10 09:08 AM
What's a buyer to do these days when buying a Sedona AZ Home for Sale. Do they buy an existing home with the idea that it is less costly to buy than it is to buy a vacant piece of dirt and build? That used to be the standard. However, while the Sedona AZ home prices fell for the last several years - so did the vacant dirt. Let's remember the financing for for land and construction loans dried up. Lender's shut their doors and many great and qualified general contractors and builders had to go get 2nd jobs.

sedona az homes for sale: Challenge your Sedona AZ Home Real Estate Assessment
- 12/14/10 04:25 PM
I always think it a good idea for buyers and seller's in today's market to challenge their Sedona AZ Home real estate assessment. After all, that is how your home taxes are calculated. You can't do much about the rate at which your home is taxed, but you can try to do something about how your home is valued for taxation purposes in 2010. The process varies depending where you live, but in general local governments conduct a periodic real estate assessment to determine how much your home is worth. That real estate assessment figure is used to calculate your property tax … (0 comments)

sedona az homes for sale: Cash for Keys offer Sellers in Sedona AZ Home market to foreclose
- 12/06/10 07:06 AM
So selling Sedona AZ Homes in this foreclosure times is very interesting for a number of reason. First, I have many seller's whose homes are worth less than what they owe, and because they have jobs and investments cannot do a short sale. So they are opting out of "A Strategic Default". A glorified way of walking away from their home or investment property. But a Foreclosure is still a foreclosure and that is what it is. Now, I know this is nothing new. But here is where it gets interesting. I have had seller's stop paying their mortgage and … (0 comments)
