Is It Getting More Affordable To Buy a Home?Over the past year or so, a lot of people have been talking about how tough it is to buy a home. And while there’s no arguing affordability is still tight, there are signs it’s starting to get a bit better and may improve even more throughout the year. Elijah de la Campa, Senior Economist at Redfin, says:“We’re slowly climbing our way out of an affordability hole, but we have a long way to go. Rates have come down from their peak and are expected to fall again by the end of the year, which should make homebuying a little more affordable and incentivize buyers to come off the sidelines.”1. Mortgage RatesMortgage rates have been volatile this year – bouncing around in the upper 6% to low 7% range. That’s still quite a bit higher than where they ...

Grayhawk  Short Sales can be a great way for buyers obtain a home at a good price. Short sale properties in Grayhawk  can also be a great way to purchase a home because the home still is showing pride of ownership in most cases. By purchasing a Grayhawk  pre-foreclosure or short sale property for sale, it provides a way for a buyer to get a good deal on purchasing a home and help the seller avoid foreclosure. Although the time to close can be a bit lengthy in some cases, those buyers that plan ahead, have time and patience can end up with a nice home at a very good price. In addition the Sellers lender(s) are recognizing the financial advantages in cooperating with a short sale seller to move the property and recoup a portion of what is owed them in a timely manner. If you are looking t...

THE ART OF BEING A REALTOR 19 years ago, I entered a classroom and stared at the faces of 36 1st graders. It was one of the most petrifying moments in my life! Nothing I learned in my 4 years of college prepared me for the moment I would be responsible for teaching mostly non-English speaking 1st graders how to read, write and do math. Fast forward to 2006, when I entered the home of a client for my first listing appointment. Nothing I learned in the 90 hour real estate classes prepared me for the moment I had to ask for a listing and defend my commission (I got the listing but greatly reduced my commission :() In his 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, Covey talks about creating habits based on your knowledge, desire and skill level. As Realtors, most of us start off with a certain d...

Today I am off to have lunch with a client I sold a home to last year in a 55+ community. We talk about every two or three months and have some wonderful conversations about life, family, travels, etc. I am really looking forward to seeing him today. There is a big generational gap, he's well over 55 and I'm under 50. We have vastly different religious views, and probably some political differences as well. I really enjoy our conversations and am lucky to have him as a client and a friend. As with all my clients, I stay in touch not solely to keep my database alive and well and productive, but because I really enjoy the relationships and conversations I have with clients. In reading many of the blog posts about transactions going awry, I do as Stephen Covey says in his 7 Habits book. Be...

Scottsdale and Paradise Valley  Luxury Rentals in the $2300-3000 range I recently rented a SCOTTSDALE home that I had listed for only 15 days. The sign calls I received off the RENTAL were pretty steady. I now find myself working wtih those clients to find something comparable. Easier said than done!!! From the LUXURY homes in PARADISE VALLEY to the top of CAMELBACK MOUNTAIN, RENTALS that are in the 2300-3000 per month range are typically older homes that have had some updating but cried out for a makeover!! The biggest selling point on LUXURY rentals in this area are obviously the views. However, these 1960 and 1970 homes have very compartmentalized floor plans as opposed to their remodeled counterparts that boast of open and spacious floor plans. A trend that seems to be popular in th...

How do you become the horse property specialist? Honestly, the same way you become anything else. You start out by seeing it. My first client had a horse property. She was an RN and worked with my husband and over the years I had spent time with her and loved her. She said, "Michelle, I want to sell my house. I am getting my Nurse Practitioner License and I am going to be moving to Tucson." "I don't have my license yet Viv." I said. "Well, hurry up. I want to sell my house." Vivian said. So, I did. I learned so much in that first transaction that I ended up thinking, people need someone to know about horse property. There is a lot more to know as far as building and zoning - because typically people want to build a shop or a barn or something because they now have land. There are also s...

Below I have attached 2 different methods of viewing bank owned homes for sale in Scottsdale, Arizona. One method is a map based search of Scottsdale homes for sale via my IDX feed on my website at http://scottsdaleviewhomes.com . The second method is utilizing a custom Google Map where I am in the process of drawing out the boundries of Scottsdale communities to make searching by communities very easy for the Scottsdale home buyer. Once you view the available homes on a map, you can easily toggle between bank owned homes (also known as REOs or lender owned homes), short sales or ALL Scottsdale homes for sale on the MLS.  I would appreciate any feedback regarding the 2 options or the website that you might have as I am always looking for improvements.
