Seeking Luxury Real Estate in Scottsdale?
The sale of Scottsdale based luxury real estate properties are increasing. This is due to the reduction in market prices driven by the current economy and the bank owned homes currently on the market.  These distressed sales have helped to move the prices down.
Some buyers like to start their property search in Scottsdale Arizona with bank owned properties but they should include all the homes that meet their criteria because traditional sales can be as good or better than some of the bank owned home properties.

12 Things To Be Thankful For In The Phoenix Real Estate Market 2010
Despite the expiration of the tax credit nearly six months ago, sales have remained on pace with 2009. Although we had a slight swell in inventory for a few weeks this Fall, inventory levels are currently seeing a slight decrease and are also on pace with 2009. The overall Valley wide absorption rate is approximately 20%, which certainly beats the 5% at this time in 2008. Average days on market Valley wide has remained fairly steady, at just over 100, for the past year. The Paradise Valley median … (1 comments)

Maricopa County Arizona Market Watch - Good News!
ASU Economist Lee McPheters is predicting that "2011 will be the best year that Arizona has seen since the recession."
According to McPheters, data indicates that Arizona is currently the fastest growing job market for private sector jobs and that Phoenix is second only to Washington D.C. for job growth in large cities nationally.
Additionally, Arizona is forecast to have a better economy in 2011 than just about any other state in the West, and Arizona, California and Texas are expected to have the fastest population growth.

Market Watch Maricopa County Arizona Report
On the Market Watch Maricopa County Arizona Report you can see that our prediction that prices will continue to slump is verified. Most of the price weakness can be traced to Real Estate Owned (REO/Bank Owned) property and Short sales, less so for traditional sales. Median Ask Price is displaying significant weakness. This is a precursor to future close price declines. Supply has stabilized overall. In-Escrow properties (pending) have firmed at the current level with a slight positive propensity, signaling balanced movement in and out of inventory. The persistent slowing of Market Speed and rising Absorption Rate can … (0 comments)

Is the Phoenix real estate sale over?
As we are all aware, Phoenix has been on sale for the past few years, but is it possible that the sale may be ending?  Obviously, it will take some time for many home owners to return to home equity, but it appears that the steep decline in prices could be nearing a conclusion.
Many forecasters have speculated for the past several months that we are currently bumping along the bottom of the Phoenix market and the sale slashed prices could be leveling off.  If level of year over year decline is any indicator, … (1 comments)

Foreclosure Myth Buster 4 of 4 
If you're looking for a deal, you're looking for a foreclosure.  Despite what they may say, no buyer's heart's fondest desire is to buy a foreclosure.  But almost every buyer dreams of buying a great home  and getting a great deal on it.  Many people think that to get a great value on their home on today's market, it means they must buy a foreclosure.  As a result, the value and other advantages of buying an individually-owned home on today's market are frequently overlooked.  Individual sellers with homes on the market right now are generally … (0 comments)

The Dam Is About To Break
Have you heard from our politicians that an earmark (pork barrel spending) is just a nit - It amounts to nothing in the overall trillion plus national budget?  Now we're starting to hear the same rhetoric with other budgetary items that the politicians want to protect.
Don't you wish that you could take your check book out and write a check for anything you want because in the overall scheme of things it's just a small piece of your overall expenditures, i.e., mortgage, taxes, car payment, medical bills, college education expenses, etc. After all, when … (3 comments)

Foreclosure Myth Buster #2
Myth #2:  Buyers can't get clear title or title insurance on foreclosed homes.  When the foreclosure robo-signing scandal first hit, there was widespread concern that buyers would not be able to get clear title on foreclosed homes, because the former foreclosed owners might be able to come get their homes back when the improprieties in the bank's foreclosure documentation processes came fully to light.  At the same time, several of the country's largest title insurance companies publicly balked at issuing policies on bank-owned homes until the issue was resolved.  At this point, the banks claim they have … (0 comments)

luxury valley homes: Foreclosure Myth Buster - 11/16/10 03:57 AM
Foreclosure Myth Buster 
Myth #1:  Foreclosure happens fast. With unemployment and underemployment still affecting nearly 1 in every 4 Americans, no one is immune from fears that a pink slip might quickly turn into a foreclosure notice.  According to NeighborWorks America, nearly 60 percent of families seeking foreclosure counseling cited a lost job or cut wages as the reason they were facing foreclosure.  While the Obama Administration's Home Affordable Programs haven't been nearly as effective as predicted in actually preventing foreclosures, they have had the effect of extending the foreclosure process for many families.   Even though the legal process of foreclosure … (1 comments)

Scottsdale Real Estate: Luxury Valley Homes Scottsdale AZ
Scottsdale AZ is not a huge city but enjoys the sophistication and amenities of a large city. Scottsdale real estate still means that new homes are being built but it is fast being built-out because land for building sites is increasingly hard to find. It's one of the reasons Scottsdale Arizona real estate is enjoying high appreciation.
The complexities of the area demographics and real estate laws are many.
