Cost of building a home is on the rise. We have just re-vising the price of our 3000 plan. The Cost of labor over all is down, but Materials are limited do to a lot of company shut downs, which in turns make the cost go up.
Lumber 30% since 1/2010
Concrete 15% since 1/2010 do to fuel cost.
HVAC 50% since 2007 look out cap and trade
Some things have gone down, but these are some shocking ones that have just surprised me.
Our 3000 plan is building for the same price today as it was in 2007 at the peak of the housing boom. Overall, just like anything, prices year over year will continue to go up or stay some what flat. Can you buy a new 2010 Ford f-150 for less today than in 08. I think not.
Have a great weekend and invite some friends over for a pool party, we are.
Sincerely,
Sunny Arizona

Investments In Arizona Real Estate
Investments in Arizona Real Estate are great investment ideas that will complement any portfolio. The ones that bought during the middle of last year are getting the best returns. Our personal investments are well above a 10% CAP.
Is it too late? I don't think so, just need to do your home work. The home prices have seem to hit the bottom, but for someone that is looking for a 3 to 5 year hold there are still a lot of good properties left.
I have been showing a lot of people homes in the middle to upper end price ranges and I think that is where a person should be looking for the greatest return.
As more and more banks start to work with upside down homeowners, you are going to see the prices start to tick up. Just wait till interest rates go to 5.5 to 6%, you are going to see home prices raise at least 10 to 15%. It will be the mad rush to buy before the 7% rate which is more of normal rate.
So, if you are thinking of buying, don't wait too long. How many times do we all say ( Should have, Could have, Would have )

Custom Home Builder in Scottsdale Arizona
Scottsdale is a great place to live and with so many lots sold in the last few months at record low prices, you can actually get a new home built for the same price as the market is selling for.
We have plans and specs for homes that come fully up-scaled starting at 150 per foot to 300 per foot. We are the only builder that I know that offers all our new 2010 clients a 5 year standard warranty. This means we take care of everything for 5 years, paint, yearly maintenance, all you have to do is enjoy your new home. We even will pre prep for the home when it comes to re-sale.
Give us a call and let us bid your next project and save you some money.
We still build every home personally. We are a true building company, not a paper contractor

Building Cost in Scottsdale Arizona
Thinking of building a new Home?
The Cost of Building is on the rise.
If you would have built a home in 2009, say a 3500 square foot single family, and you were to build the same home today March 2010 the cost of your lumber would have gone up 4500.oo dollars.
Lumber is on the rise and soon to follow will be concrete and anything else that is manufactured.
We are in the time where if a person thinks that the prices will get cheaper do to this economy, they are going to get a big surprise. Oh, you can hire non- licensed and non speaking Americans for 9 dollars per hour, and you will get a non-warranted job.
I have been in business for 20 years and plan on being in business for the next 20 years.
Oh and last tip of the day, ( Inflation is Coming )
Happy shopping.

Bank Owned Properties
Scottsdale homes are starting to sell. I have been following alot of homes for my clients and they are either one day late or they are having to look for other homes.
Sure there are alot of short sales out there, but if you are interested in buying a home that can close in say 60 days or less, short sales are not the answer.
Another interesting thing is that some banks are trying new programs to allow home owners to try and sell their homes and then receive moving monies. This is a new program that we are part of and I think home prices are going to turn up or stay flat.
I specialize in finding investment and banked owned properties, so if anyone is looking now is the time.
