sedona real estate: Building Prices in the Sedona AZ Home Market
- 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.

- 12/13/10 02:35 AM
I found this great article from Robb Gordon, a local Sedona AZ Home Lender and found it very interesting and wanted to share.

- 09/01/10 07:10 AM
Well, when the competition in the local paper states that Sedona AZ Home Sellers need to price their homes competitively to sell - I can't take the blame! If your home is too high, it will not sell. If no one sees your house - it's priced too high. If you have had more than 10 showings and no one has made an offer on your house - it is too high. If your realtor faints when you tell him what you want to list the house for - it's too high. And quite honestly, why would you hire a realtor who (0 comments)
