Arizona Real Estate Today

I welcome the opportunity to assist your plans to purchase a home in the Valley of the Sun:

  • From world-class resorts, spas, shopping, golf courses, renowned restaurants and vibrant nightlife, the 2,000-square mile Phoenix Metro area has it all!
  • Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Sonoran Desert, Phoenix offers a wide array of sports, hiking trails and other outdoor activities
  • Learn about Old West and Native American history while visiting many interesting museums and galleries, such as the Phoenix Art Museum and the Heard Museum
  • Have some family fun and enjoy a Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Mercury, Arizona Diamondbacks or Arizona Cardinals game. 

Today's available properties in Maricopa County offer prices that make purchase of a home for First Time Homebuyers and all interested in an opportunity to purchase for long term appreciation very affordable.  Funding is available for those interested in purchasing Distressed Properties to assist with the repairs that are needed in some cases.

FirstTime Homebuyer Assistance programs are currently available from some of the cities in SW county. HUD Neighborhood Stabilization Community Grants may increase available funding in the coming months. Please contact me for information regarding application and educational requirements.

As a buyer, you now have plenty of choice, as well as the upper hand in negotiations. You also still have the benefit of low interest rates.

You can't be sure that a house you buy today won't lose more value before prices recover, but if you can pay well below what sellers were getting last year, you've already built in a comfortable cushion against price drops.

Free yourself to act fast.   Contact a lender and obtain a pre-approval for your home purchase. This will provide you with a price range for your home purchase and of equal importance when you identify a home you will be in a position to make the strongest offer possible. If you need suggestions on lenders please give me a call or simply respond to this email and I will be pleased to share some contact information for lenders that have been most helpful to my clients.

Know how strong you are. The longer a house has been for sale, the more powerful your position as a bidder. "Time on market is a good indication that someone is likely to be really hungry." Please feel free to contact me for the full details of a home's listing history, complete with time on market and any asking-price changes.
