anthem az real estate: Scottsdale real estate - Market report September 2009 - 10/14/09 07:27 AM
The  Scottsdale real estate market saw an uptick in activity in September although prices continue to decline, albeit at a much slower pace.  At about a 4 month burn rate (the number of months it would take to sell the exisiting inventory at the current sales pace) we are in what is typically observed as a balanced market in Scottsdale.  If you're looking to pick up a good deal on a home or condo in Scottsdale, now's the time.
Here are August's numbers for the week ending 9/30/09:
Active Listings: 4,345 (Up 3% from Aug. '09)
Homes Pending: 1,296 (Up 6% from Aug. '09)

anthem az real estate: Phoenix real estate - Market report September 2009 - 10/10/09 06:17 AM
The Phoenix real estate market continued on an even keel for the month of September.  The average sale price for homes in Phoenix increased significantly (up 6%) over August. And homes are selling much quicker these days as evidenced by the sharply decreasing number of days on market for those homes that did sell.  The bidding wars and multiple offers on well priced homes are continuing and even the well priced non-distressed homes are selling quickly. If you're looking to purchase a home here in the Valley of the Sun, you better make a move soon. Here are September's numbers through the week ending … (0 comments)

anthem az real estate: Anthem AZ real estate - Market update Sept. 2009 - 10/03/09 10:45 AM
The Anthem AZ real estate market is still moving along nicely, at least according to September's statistics.  It's not quite the fevered pitch we saw over the summer, but that should be expected.  With kids going back to school the housing market in Anthem typically starts to taper off this time of year.  The number of homes actively on the market increased a little while the number of homes that actually closed improved dramatically.   And we continue to see the average sale price tick up.  Albeit September's uptick was ever so slight.  The burn rate is down to 2 months now, and the average days … (2 comments)

anthem az real estate: Do you listen to music while you work? - 09/25/09 01:10 PM
My business partner and I are avid music listeners.  In fact as I'm writing this I'm listening to the Rolling Stones "Exile on Main Street".  Some consider it the Stones best album, I argue in favor of "Sticky Fingers", but I do like Exile.
Anyway, my point here is that music, unlike any other art form is able to lift the spirits, motivate, and transport us back in time.  How many times have you heard a song and been taken back to a moment in your life?
I was raised on music.  My parents are children of the 60's so my … (9 comments)

anthem az real estate: We need to start viewing good news as, well, good news! - 09/22/09 02:04 PM
Lately here on Active Rain and in the news media in general I've been reading and hearing a lot of positive signs that our economy and the housing market are starting to turnaround.
And yet with each piece of good news there's the "yeah but".  Now, I'm no pollyanna, pie in the sky, rose tinted glasses, everything is great type of person by any means.  But I have grown a little tired of all the naysayers.
How do we as a country, as an economy, expect to pull out of these duldrums if all we keep looking at is the downside … (1 comments)

anthem az real estate: Anthem AZ real estate - Market report August, 2009 - 09/14/09 02:40 PM
The Anthem AZ real estate market continued to chug along in August.  Albeit the number of sold homes fell slightly from July, the year over year numbers continue to improve.  The number of homes actively on the market decreased a little.  The number of homes that are pending and those that sold increased significantly over July,  and we continued to see the average sale price increase slightly.   The burn rate is down to 2 months now, and the average days on market has fallen to 65. Based on those statistics we have a traditional seller's market in Anthem.  Anthem's housing … (0 comments)

anthem az real estate: Fitness tip... - 08/05/09 04:40 AM
 

As a former personal trainer and gym owner I still have an avid interest in fitness and athletics.  So I thought that it might be helpful to throw out a few tips every once in a while.  Because truth be told, our health care system would not be in such dire straights if everyone did just the minimum recommended amount of exercise per week.  But that discussion is for another day.
When I owned my gyms, around the new year, I would always have people coming in and telling me how they were going to get in the gym … (4 comments)

anthem az real estate: Anthem AZ real estate - July '09 Market report - 08/01/09 07:44 AM
The Anthem AZ real estate market continued it's strong pace in July.  The number of homes actively on the market rose ever so slightly.  The number of homes that are pending and those that sold increased over June.  We did break our two month streak of average sale prices increase, but only by the silightest margin.   The burn rate is down to 2 months now, so based on that statistic we have a seller's market in Anthem.  Anthem's housing market looks to be once again on stable footing.  This does not mean we will not see more foreclosures on the … (0 comments)

anthem az real estate: Anthem AZ real estate - Market report June 2009 - 07/13/09 06:39 AM
The pace of sales in the Anthem AZ real estate market continues to remain heathy.  The number of homes actively on the market fell once again.  The number of homes that are pending and those that sold in June slowed a bit off the pace of May, but the market is still looking strong.  And, for the second month in a row, the average sale price increased. This time, pretty dramatically.   The burn rate is down to 2 months now, so based on that statistic we have a seller's market in Anthem.  So all in all things continue to point … (0 comments)

anthem az real estate: A missive (or plea) to all the R.E.O. agents out there... - 07/11/09 05:22 AM
If you've followed my blog posts over the years, or received comments on yours, you know how frustrated I have become with the majority of R.E.O. agents.  In the Phoenix real estate market R.E.O.s make up a good percentage of our market.
Now, I understand the R.E.O. agents are busy.  Many of them carry a hundred or more listings at any one time.  However, that's no excuse for lack of professionalism.  As I've learned through owning businesses and reading many books on business, when you become too busy to handle your business you need to delegate.  Hire people to take some … (5 comments)

anthem az real estate: Phoenix real estate - Community spotlight: Vistancia - 06/29/09 01:39 PM

 
This week's community spolight focuses on Vistancia, another beautiful master planned community located with in a 45 minute drive to Phoenix.
Vistancia is located in the Northwest part of the Valley of the Sun.  It is a beautiful community very similar to Anthem, AZ.  Respledent with a world class golf course, tennis courts, acquatic park and miles of walking trails, Vistancia offers something for everyone.  And because it's off the beaten path there is a general sense of tranquility, but not isolation.
In addition to all of the various amenities Vistancia is part of the Peoria School District, recognized … (0 comments)

anthem az real estate: Phoenix real estate - You may be missing the boat... - 06/21/09 06:47 AM
The Phoenix real estate market has heated up to a pitch we haven't seen in four years.  I can tell you first hand, we are no longer in a buyer's market. At least not in the low end price range (less than $200k).  Anecdotally, most agents in the valley have said the same.  So the other day I checked our MLS to see if the numbers corroborated what I've been seeing and hearing.  The numbers surprised me:
 
Active Listings: 32,943 (The lowest we've seen in over three years)
Pending Sales: 13,433 (The most we've seen since the peak of the … (1 comments)

anthem az real estate: Anthem AZ Real Estate - May 2009 Market Report - 06/03/09 09:31 AM
Just like the Phoenix real estate market, we may have passed the bottom of the real estate market in Anthem AZ.  The number of homes actively on the market increased slightly.  However, the number of homes that are pending and those that sold in May ratcheted up dramatically.  And, for the first time in a long while, the average sale price increased. But still the burn rate is down to 2 months now, so based on that statistic we have a seller's market in Anthem. Days on market decreased as well.  So all in all things are pointing up for Anthem.
