phoenix homes for sale: The Race to Buy A Home Before Interest Rates Rise
- 03/03/21 09:16 PM
Across the US the consensus is low housing inventory, rising sales, and more buyers than sellers. And it's not just housing sales. The housing rental market is also constrained. Homes for rent are far and few between so tenants with low credit scores and challenges on their credit history can challenge a tenant in finding an accepting landlord. So how long is this sustainable? How long before the number of buyers equals the number of sellers? Part of that answer lies in the mortgage interest rates charged for loans. If interest rates rise, some buyers may be priced out of the market, as mortage … (7 comments)

Phoenix Real Estate Market Report Q3 2014- Most folks will remember what the phrase Indian Summer means, the summer that never seems to end. So goes the Phoenix Real estate Market Report Q3 2014.

The housing market has slowed due to several factors. Job recovery nationally has affected us locally. Family formations have been slower to grow for younger generations and student debt has limited first time … (13 comments)
phoenix homes for sale: It's a Great Time To Buy a Home!
- 06/07/14 09:34 AM
It's a Great Time to Buy a Home! My 2:00 appointment is cancelled and the entire day has changed. This client had chosen a location and we were all set to view the homes when she called just before that time to explain the owner called to say she leased the home to someone else. That one was not on our MLS so I was on the side lines, assisting with information. Looking at the second home again on the MLS, I noticed that the status changed from "Active" to "Temporarily off the Market." Contacting the agent, I learned that … (9 comments)

Update - Be Ready for Anything, Anytime, AnywhereA while back I wrote a blog about being ready for anything at a moments notice. Well, today it paid off! Today I picked up a check for my efforts. The parking lot where I met this person turned into a paycheck. You see, this person was searching for a rental in a condo complex where I happened to be showing condos for sale. Thinking forward a bit I happened to have in my possession a list of the rentals that were either available for rent or had rented in the last couple of … (1 comments)

- 02/09/12 04:34 AM
Family Affair in a Cul-De-Sac; Short Sale Closed! After 8 long months, my clients finally own a second home in Arizona. It's a cute story worth sharing since the family owns half the cul-de-sac now! About a year and a half ago, a good friend and agent called asking if I'd like to represent the buyer in one of her short sale listings. Of course I said yes. Not only was it great that she called, but the buyers were such "good people" that that part was a bonus. We closed that short sale after 7 months. But the real … (4 comments)

- 01/15/12 10:07 AM
The Market has Changed, Again! During the last two weeks, and especially the last week, it's become apparent that the investors have really ramped up their spending. The showings I'm scheduling are for "newer" townhomes and condos in Scottsdale and North Phoenix. It's amazing that all of sudden, more multiple offers are being submitted and quickly. Last year, our cash sales in Maricopa County were 47% of the total sold properties. And because of our foreclosure experiences, most anyone coming here is expecting a bargain price. Low prices, yes; low rates, yes; but inventory - not so much. We're seeing … (6 comments)
