News for Fountain Hills, AZ - Wednesday October 14th, 2009 1:54am
Its October 2009, and what is going on in the valley, and specifically Fountain Hills. I always thought the great mountain views all around brought a higher price to this part of the valley, and it does. With its pristine views, open air, and small town feel, Fountain Hills has many great features. Easy access up the bee-line highway to Payson, 2 miles to the Casino and We-ko-pa golf course, plus all the amenities of Fountain Hills. Now here comes the really good news for you buyers; Properties that were selling for 200-250 a square foot are no longer the minimum, I've seen homes under 100 a square foot, and they are real bargains. Are there foreclosures out there?? yes there are, and they aren't as prevelant as the rest of the valley, but there are plenty of short sales.
What is the difference you ask - how bout 100 days or more - actually foreclosed homes are much easier to purchase because the bank has already taken over, while the short sale - you wait and wait for a lender to approve a short pay-off on what is owned on the property.
Bottom line, there are great deals out here, almost as good as the weather is going to be for the next 6-8 months. HEAVEN ON EARTH. Please feel free to let me know what you are looking for. I also handle Scottsdale and the surrounding northeast valley, and yes I know where the great places are.
If you are interested in Arizona, look no further than Fountain Hills, and surrounding Scottsdale. Prices that are lower than they were 8 years ago. But be mindful, many of these "sweet" deals are being scooped up quickly by investors, and then re-sold to you at a 10-25% mark-up. Don't wait, get your specs on a property you are interested in seeing, and when it comes along, be ready to move.
I've been offering $500 airfare coupons or cash to people who close with me by the end of 2009, so hurry, time is running short.... AND THE SNOW WILL BE FALLING ON YOU SHORTLY.. for you midwesterners anyways
