Homes For Sale/ Arizona

Just a little FYI:::: as of 12/22/2009

There are about 26,481 homes for sale in Maricopa

In Scottsdale there is about 1,749

The pickings are starting to get slim. Is it a time to buy or wait till the next shoe falls?

Investors, would you like to make 20k on a 100k investment annually???????

House Flipping/ Scottsdale

Wow, I can't believe that everyone is talking about Flipping Homes again.
It must be the climate change.

House's are bought and sold everyday. Just there are some people who make money and some that loose it.

As a professional REALTOR, I too am always looking for the deals out there, but alot has to do with capital. I wrote a question the other day about what is a great return for investors?

In Arizona there are some great investments,just need cash and a good leg man.

I wish all the happyness in flipping and everyone a great christmas.

Have a great day and always open a door for a friend.

Kitchen and Baths Remodel

Wow, after reading today's paper and looking at all the adds for Custom Remodeling I had to speak up. There are so many miss leading, I was surprised not to see one that stated you would get an ocean view from your Arizona Kitchen.

Let me give my thoughts of 20 plus years of Experience.

1. Someone has to demo the old
2. Someone has to repair and prep for the new
3. Someone needs to install the cabinets
4. Someone needs to prep the cabinets for counter tops
5. Someone needs to install the new counter top and back splash
6. Someone needs to install the new appliances
7. Someone needs to install new plumbing parts
8. Someone needs to paint, re-pair flooring,clean-up
9. Most important part, someone has to warrant the job like a General Contractor
10. One missing phase of the job,All The Material!!!!!!

If a normal kitchen, and I say normal measures 18 feet long and you get a bid for less than 5k. Be Careful

This is just what I read today, scary.
Looks like the surf is big today off the coast of Az. Looks like a nice day with a right break tube.:)

8% of Arizona Mortgages 60 days late?

Wow, did you guys see that. On Yahoo finance.
I see things getting a little better, alot of people looking at homes. I had a pretty good turn out at my open house last weekend. I think people are just waiting to see if it goes alot lower. I think that the normal buyer has the once in a life time to buy. I also think that sooner rather then later we will start to see interest rates click up.

If you are in the market to buy a million dollar home for 60cents on the dollar, now is the time.

Have a great day.
