Short Sale Deals in Parkwood Ranch Mesa abound.  It seems that practically everywhere you turn, there are Homes for sale that are Short Sales. What is a Short Sale?  If a homeowner owes more than their house is worth & has to sell, they have to negotiate with their bank to allow them to sell it for the lower figure, (current market price, usually less a little).  The difference between what they can sell it for & the original loan, is the short fall, thus the term "Short Sale".  The buyer advantage is that they can buy a house for a little less than the market value, hopefully in better condition than a bank owned home, & in a location that fits their needs.  There is a wait time for the bank to negotiate, but there is a wait time for a new construction home too, & you don't get as good...

People have found that the opportunities in Mesa are boundless, and that it has everything available that you would actually expect from a much larger metropolis.  Shopping in Mesa is unsurpassed since there are so many choices available, such as Fiesta Mall, with 135 stores and shops, Superstition Springs Center with 150 shops and stores, Dana Park Square Village and Village at Las Sendas just to name a few. Many are the reasons why more than 450 thousand people have chosen to call Mesa their home, and some of the reasons might be the available real estate property in Mesa, low business costs, a tax structure that is reasonable, a skilled and educated workforce, low crime-rate, excellent schools, and a wonderful quality of life, among many others. But Mesa is not just about shopping be...

Waiting a few extra days or weeks to purchase a home this spring could cost buyers thousands of extra dollars as the office of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) implements several changes for loans guaranteed by the Federal Housing Authority (FHA). These FHA changes make it even more important to act now to save big.Here are a few reasons why:On April 5, 2010, the cost of required up-front mortgage insurance for loans guaranteed by the FHA will increase from 1.75% to 2.25%. For a borrower purchasing a $200,000 home with a $7,000 down payment, the up-front mortgage insurance will increase by $965. Up-front mortgage insurance is typically financed in the final loan amount so the impact to a monthly payment will be minimal, but overall, the increase must be paid by the borrower both upfr...

Maricopa County Preliminary tax year 2010 to 2011 comparison shows Single Family Residential valuations down 15.20% while other categories are down more - vacant land down 36.49%, condos down 27.78%, apartments down 33.75%, commercial down 24.48%, mobile parcels down 24.10% In Mesa, single family valuations are projected down 16.09%, area code 85206 down 10.78%. Does this mean that the burden of taxation will shift more to single family residences in the next few years?  Why would that make sense? State, County and local government coffers are obviously going to be deficient, so should we expect higher taxes on our homes? What better time could there be to increase jobs, income, business income; lower costs, including health care and insurance costs?  Who would be against all people mak...

Citrus Fruit Plentiful in Sunland Village My neighbors here in Sunland Village were only here for a week this year.  They did not have time to pick their fruit.  They have three citrus trees in their backyard - orange, grapefruit, and lemon.  The lemon tree had such heavy fruit on it that a branch broke from the weight.  So their house sitter stopped yesterday to tell us we could have all the fruit, as they were afraid it would go to waste. I picked three full paper grocery of huge lemons and on five gallon bucket of oranges - barely put a dent in what's there.  Already gave away two bags of those lemons to other neighbors. This is just one of the advantages of living in Arizona - abundant sun for growing anything. Sunland Village Homes for Sale can be viewed at www.SunlandKid.com  and ...

Foreclosure is a bad word!  I don't like it & I'm sure no one does.  Unfortunately, if it is comming your way, you will not be able to hide & have it go away.  It is happening to many good people these days, because of the economy & wild real esate market.  There is something about your house that is very emotional & it is very difficult to deal with this kind of loss in a positive way.  Many people believe that if they just decide to walk away, at least they can start their healing after it's over.  For some that will be possible.  For others it may be just the beginning of the nightmare!  There are laws in AZ that will PROTECT SOME from the lender comming after them after the foreclosure for the loss.  But those laws WILL NOT PROTECT EVERYONE.  You should seek legal advise concerning ...
