Happy New Year!
We handle, and successfully negotiate short sales at no cost to you as the owner/seller, if you are behind on mortgage payemts and are considering doing a short sale to avoid foreclosure call me at 602-980-5368.
2009 statistics show that it was the 3rd best year for closed sales since 2004 and 2005. In 2009 there were 92,389 closed sales, falling just behind the number for 2004 of 98,298. Yes the average sales price was considerable lower but that allowed many of the first time buyers back into the real estate market. Active inventory is hovering just above the 33,000 mark.

Current MLS inventory is low enough that homes are selling almost as fast as they hit the market...assuming they are priced correctly!

Looking at bank owned homes in Arizona? Think you are getting a great deal? What you are not looking at may suprise you! Right now the nice bank owned homes are selling so fast, and for over asking price in most cases. Why? Becasue everyone thinks they are at bargain prices. However, statistics from our MLS can show that traditional sales are selling at lower prices than many bank owned homes in many areas! Call me for more information and to start searching for the best deal on your next home!
I think most Realtors in Arizona will agree that we are at or near the bottom of the housing market price drops in most areas throughout Phoenix Metro. It appears as though the banks have wised up and are releasing their inventory slowly this way they are actually getting higher prices as they go, because of the interest created in the Bank owned homes! A quick note and thought to buyers, if you are using sites like realtor.com, homes,com, zillow.com etc to find homes that are available, by the time you call on them they may already be sold! Why? These are all IDX sites, Internet data exchange sites that require updating that can take 3 to 5 days on average. Not only that but when a home is in pending status in our mls, it still shows up as active on these sites. So the best way to get the most up to date and accurate information is to register with a realtor and get updated listings sent directly to you from the MLS as they are updated in real time and daily, this doesn't mean however that you will be the first one to see it. Call me for more information or to get registered for FREE on an automated search of homes just for you.
Available MLS home inventory drops to just over 31000 while closed sales are over 9000 a month, that gives us just over a 3 month supply of homes on the market throughout the Maricopa and Pinal County areas! So what is being published in the news is definately not the full story! Remember it is national news! Plus BANK/LENDER & REO OWNED HOMES ARE SELLING VERY FAST and FOR OVER ASKING PRICES IN MANY CASES!
