The housing market for Tempe, Arizona,  85283 feels like a repeat of early 2022!   Sales are quick and there are very few homes for sale in 85283.   The focus of this report will be for homes about 1500 square feet that are priced between $400,000 and $600,000.   The zip code 85283 is south of Arizona State University, with a student population of over 74,000 students in Tempe.   ASU also has campuses in downtown Phoenix,  Glendale, Mesa and a new Innovation Center being built near Mayo Hospital in Phoenix. So the total student population is well over 100,000.  Rental homes are common in the Tempe area and in demand.  The population of the City of Tempe is over 118,000 people not including ASU students.  Tempe is a diverse city with plenty of entertainment options.  These include activi...

Another favorite destination of ours is the Nordic Village Flagstaff - cross country skiing experience.This photo was taken in early March 2023, and that's about the time when we see the last snow in the Nordic Village. The nearby downhill skiing place Snowball has snow a little bit later, until April-May. We like to make the trip to the Nordic Village a day trip because it fits well with our work schedules, I can have a 3-hour work day - 1.5 hours before we leave and 1.5 hours after we are back. When we visit during the weekday, the ski-trails have fewer skiers than on week-ends. The drive from the Phoenix metro area takes us about 2.5 hours on Hwy I-17 and then through Flagstaff. We found out that the optimal time is to start about 8-9 a.m. from Tempe, AZ. The Nordic Village offers cr...

What are seller concessions? A minute with The Real Estate Guy™Let's talk about money shall we? Seller concessions, what are they, how does it work and who benefits? First of all, it benefits everyone as it ensures costs are covered at the closing table for the buyer (maybe not all, but quite a bit can be covered).In my world of representing buyers (annually, if I close my normal of 40 transactions, I'd say 20 of those are home buyers, and I always ask for some love).So what is the "rule of thumb" for closing cost concessions? 3% for any FHA product and if the buyer is putting 10% down and using a conventional loan product, the same percentage applies.  So how does this affect the seller? Simple, it does take 3% away from their bottom line, but in a buyers market, most sellers (that get...
