This might be why I’m getting more calls now from folks wanting to get out and find a house. 1) From a May 25th AZ Central Article Foreclosures did not dominate sales of existing homes in the Valley for the [...] My friend in the real estate industry was commenting to me on Tuesday that it is difficult these days to be taken at our word. He said, “People I talk to expect me to say that now is the best time to buy, so they discount what I’m saying. But, really rates have not been this [...] Average prices are going up again. I’ve been saying it for a while, but it is official when ASU says it. Check out this article about how home prices have gone up 5.5% since January of this year. It reminds me of when I sold my home in Woodlea/Melrose in 2006. I just waited until I [...] Renovated Condos are Big Right Now There are 1,134 condos, town homes or patio homes in Maricopa County right now that are at least 2 bedroom, 2 bath and under $100,000!

Everybody was jumping for that tax credit. There were almost 9,000 sales of homes & condos in the Phoenix metro area in March, which was the 2nd highest March sales month ever. The median sales price in March was higher than March 2009, making it the first year-over-year [...] This New York Times article is a very interesting demonstration of determining whether you should rent or buy. This is for those of you who want to geek out on numbers a little this morning. This is a great way to look at the situation without getting all hung up on predictions about where the market will [...] I just confirmed that this Haver Home is now starting renovations and will be on the market for under $160,000.
