This online resource will provide you with pictures, virtual tours, detailed descriptions and pricing for thousands of homes available right now in Arizona!
So, what's been happening in the Arizona real estate market?
In yesterday's competitive real estate market, the saying used to be that timing was everything. Buyers would scramble in the white hot Arizona real estate market to pickup something (anything) at just over $20,000 above listing price. Those days are long gone!. We have transitioned from the best seller's market in years, directly into an tremendous buyer's market. |

What does this mean? If you are a buyer, it means you have to be very careful in selecting an agent to represent you. You want someone that will assist you in finding your dream home; and then agressively help you negotiate the price. Deals are out there! In fact, there are still over 45,000 re-sale homes and thousands of completed new homes on the market today. Hire someone that will help you find the right property, at the right price, and that will do it at NO COST to you!
If you are a seller - YOU MUST HIRE A MARKETING EXPERT! The way sellers maximize profits is to ensure the largest number of potential interested buyers see their home. A sign, post and flyer won't cut it any longer. You need an agent representing you that has a strong marketing plan. Contact us and we will share our Marketing Plan for Success and our VIP Seller Service with you.

CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS IN ARIZONA |
So, you've heard us mention that we've transitioned from a sellers market, to the best buyers market we've seen in years, here in the Phoenix metro area. What does that mean? Specifically, it means that you can purchase a house today for sometimes 10% and sometimes 60% less money than you needed on October of 2005 (which was the peak for the most part of home prices in Arizona). The percentage obviously depends on what part of town you are looking in and how motivated the seller is. In the case of the Gilbert market, as an example, sales are down anywhere from 10 - 43%. In Scottsdale, home prices have for the most part, only decreased 10 - 15%. The far East and West (Queen Creek, Maricopa, Coolidge, Surprise, etc) have been the hardest hit. Homes in those areas can be purchased at prices that would have been unheard of at any point in the last 3 years.
What caused the market to change? There was buyer anxiety for the last several years. Many experts predicted that the market would fall apart at least a year before there were any declines at all. So it really wasn't the press, or investors worrying. It was something far more simple. Affordability.... As house prices had been climbing during the seller's market, interest rates continually dropped further and further. The combination lead to a balance in affordability so the market continued without problem. When the Federal Reserve began raising interest rates as a hedge against inflation, those .25% increases began to have an impact on the rates buyers were paying for their homes. Eventually, affordability became a bigger and bigger concern and it eventually shifted the real estate market. From there, current homeowners couldn't sell and had adjustable rate mortgages that began climbing. That lead to a HUGE increase in foreclosures, which caused lending institutions to raise standards required for new customers which further destabalized the markets.
This ofcouse, leads us to today and the great buyers market. While there are outstanding deals available, not every deal or house is the same. Many of the 45,000 resale homes remain on the market because they are overpriced. Some are priced above 2005 levels, even today. If you are thinking about buying, you need someone on your side to help you when you decide to buy. Contact us for FREE assistance! We'll listen to your needs, take the time necessary to help you, and provide you with superior customer service and a superior overall experience! |

Our automated client Home Feedback System is just one way that we will provide you with an excellent home selling experience ending with the results you need.
Here's how it works:
1. Each time your property is shown to a prospective buyer, the details of the showing are entered into our Home Feedback System.

• Our system logs all the agents of prospective buyers that have seen your property. We use this to instantly email every agent that has shown your home to let them know when we are about to receive an offer. Even in today's market, this can still lead to multiple offers on your home.
• We can also use the system to let other agents know about any changes in your listing. After all, what good is a marketing change if nobody knows about it?
• Feedback is always available to you (24 hours a day). You'll never feel like you are "out of the loop".
