Thinking of Building A New Home

Wow, I cannot believe that 2010 is almost over. What a year of changes we have seen in this crazy market. I think some months ago, I was talking about all the land being bought up. Well you guessed it," Lot prices are on the rise and the good ones are hard to find".

We have been really busy this last couple of months doing small jobs but are starting to see some interest in New Custom builds. We are thinking of starting a couple of homes ourselves that will be for sale come spring of 2011. With all the crazy Gov. spending I am afraid the next hurdle will be higher cost and interest rates. We will just have to see.

Just to report on conditions here in AZ. I am seeing some prices go up, not extremely but never the less, going up.

I was reading some other blogs this morning and some builders are talking about choosing a builder, I had a good laugh this morning. If a person chooses a builder by their web site and picture gallery, they may be in for a big surprise, most so called builders are as talented as their last car salesman job. Now, anyone can get a license, back in the old days you had to show experience, not that being a lighting salesman at HD doesn't qualify you to build a million dollar home. Be careful when picking a builder, heck I grew up doing this and I now have grey hair and still learn everyday.

Best wishes and a Happy New Year from the sunny state of Arizona.

As always, if your thinking of building in AZ. or looking for some land. We Can Help!
