If you are like many potential home sellers I have spoken with over the past several months, you are leery of putting your home on the open market. The crush of competition, the dirth of qualified buyers ... the constant state of panic that your home won't be in absolutely show ready condition when a buyer finally does show up after weeks of inactivity. Perhaps you would like to move, but simply do not want the hassle associated with listing and marketing a home.
Basically, you would sell if a buyer fell from the sky (or internet), but don't want to be bothered otherwise.
With you in mind, I am posting the needs of a few current buyers. We've seen the current inventory for their criteria, but have yet to be blown away. That's where you come in.
Buyer needs for the weekend of 1/16/09
1. Buyer number one is looking for 5 bedrooms plus a den, 4000+ square feet, newer construction, on an acre in the Chaparral High School district. The Town of Paradise Valley or along the Orangetree Golf Course are preferable, but we are open to other possibilities. High ceilings are a must. Will look up to $1.5 million for the right fit. Must be an absolute show-stopper at that price point. Will consider fixer uppers with the right bones in the $700,000 - $1,000,000 range.
*We were thinking something like this*
3. Buyer number three is looking for a single-family home between 2500-3000 square feet in the Desert Shadows Junior High School District. We will consider prices up to $400,000. The critical factor is an owner willing to take back some paper. If you are willing to hold a note in order to sell your home to a buyer with 20% to put down, I want to talk to you.
*This should do fine*
4. Buyer number four wants your semi-dilapidated McCormick Ranch home. Currently looking at bank-owned properties, estate held properties and the line, we see no need to wait for the bank to destroy your credit through foreclosure before deciding whether or not a sale can be mutually beneficial. If you have a home that is in either physical or financial trouble in the McCormick Ranch area, my investors are interested. While 1800+ square feet, 3+ bedrooms and a pool are preferences, we will consider anything that has adequate upside potential. Not looking to steal anyone's home, but the math must be advantageous to make it a possibility for these buyers.
*In the right hands ...*
I am always interested in properties in Hayden Estates as well.
If you are a local Scottsdale / Paradise Valley Real Estate agent with an upcoming listing that matches any of these criterions, give me a call. We might be able to get that baby sold before you spend dime or calorie one on marketing it.
