KAREN SELLS ARIZONA PRESENTS A VIDEO: FRAMING STAGE
 
 

 Linda and Janice walked into my open house at Cobblestone Farms in Maricopa awhile back and said they were having difficulty finding a real estate agent that would show them some homes.  Right away I did a search for them.  They didn't know if they wanted to live in San Tan Valley/Queen Creek or in Maricopa but they knew they wanted a a great deal.  After seeing a bunch of homes they decided to … (1 comments)

Team Realty Force is excited to make viral the first edition of Maricopa Cribs!!!!  Our goal is to showcase homes once they have sold and people have moved in.  As a first time home owner I jumped at the opportunity to be the first to video my home.  Buying a home can be an emotional roller coaster, especially if there is a loan involved but in the end it is well worth it.  See this video of another happy home owner.  Thank you Maricopa Cribs for allowing me to gloat about … (9 comments)

Karen Sells Arizona presents video: $95,000 HUD Home in Maricopa Meadows, 3000 + square feet
So, it may not look like it but filming and editing these videos takes me some time.  I just finished editing this video and bam...the house went 'pending!'  Ugh,I was not fast enough!  I'm going to post it anyways so you can see what a house looks like that was quickly snagged off of the market.  It will be interesting to see what the winning offer of this house was priced at...so many of these HUD homes are going over the purchase price these days.

Karen Sells Arizona Presents SCAM ALERT: "Sorry We Missed You.  Please call to reschedule"
So if you are someone who has been following my blog (one of the few haha) than you probably know that I recently became a home owner.  Yippee!  So exciting!  As a home owner there are more responsibilities and more issues to deal with.  Yesterday, I was at home all day waiting for the cable guy, the internet guy, and the other guys that are needed to fully equip my new home and while I was waiting I heard someone talking loudly outside my front door.  He … (3 comments)

Investors: Should you invest in properties in Maricopa?  Rental data for last 2 months
A common question I get when dealing with investors is how much do houses rent for here in Maricopa?  Is it a worthy investment?  Investors want to know if they should purchase a home and then fix/flip it. I usually send them data of what's been leased in the last couple of months.  Here's an example of an email sent:
Rentals leased based on Subdivision in the past 2 months:
Homestead- 6
Senita-16
Cobblestone Farms-12
Rancho El Dorado-34
Villages-10
Glennwilde-3
Acacia-9
 
The pricing ranged mostly above … (4 comments)

Now that the house is mine and I can move it's time to set up everything.  Here is my checklist:
___ Get utilities in my name (water and electricity)
___ Change the locks
___ Get a mailbox key
___ Exterminate the house
___ HOA stuff
___ Garbage pick-up days (wait, do I even have trash cans?)
___ buy a lawn mower (I can't believe I have grass in AZ! Ugh!)

homes for sale in maricopa az: Where did all the HUD homes go in Maricopa? Only 6 left! - 07/12/11 01:09 PM
Where did all the HUD homes go in Maricopa? Only 6 left!
About a week and a half ago I wrote about the 8 HUD Homes that were available.  Now there are only 6 left!  It doesn't look like HUD is replacing the HUD homes too quickly.  What is going on?  Why is there such a decrease in these homes?  The beginning of the year had 4 times this amount, if not more!  So, what's going on?  Are we near the end of the foreclosure market in Maricopa?  I can't speak for HUD but it does feel like there are a lot less houses to … (3 comments)

Where did all the HUD homes go in Maricopa? Only 8 left!
I constantly follow the HUD listings to see what's available and have seen a dramatic decrease in the HUD supply.  The beginning of the year had 4 times this amount, if not more!  So, what's going on?  Are we near the end of the foreclosure market in Maricopa?  I can't speak for HUD but it does feel like there are a lot less houses to choose from.  For those potential buyers that keep saying it's a buyer's market who are still waiting for the market to bottom out I would highly reommend taking a close look at what's … (1 comments)
