Desert Mountain Real EstateThere was recently a new foreclosure in Desert Mountain that has demonstrated another example of inappropriate home pricing. Many buyers assume that all foreclosures are well priced and a  good deal. This is not always true. If priced appropriately, Desert Mountain Foreclosures can be a great find. However, some banks and outside Realtors just don’t get that. This home is another example of somebody that does not have a grasp on the current market in this community.Desert Mountain Homes for Sale

It was previously on the market as a short sale and priced at $1,400,000 but is now back on the market as a Bank Owned Property for $1,999,900. How does the bank expect to sell this home for $500,000 more as a foreclosure? It is NOT worth $2 million. I have been in this home and in my opinion, it is outdated and will require a lot of work. Sure it is in Saguaro Forest, so it has beautiful views but so do a lot of other homes in Desert Mountain at this price point. The buyer will have to spend a lot of time and money to get this home back to its potential. Most homes in Desert Mountain are purchased as vacation homes so this is not for the average buyer.

As a Desert Mountain Real Estate specialist I feel that it is very important to be completely up front and honest with my clients when it comes to purchasing and selling their homes. Feel free to contact me with any of your questions about Desert Mountain Properties at (800) 300-0263 or by e-mail, Carmen@ScottsdaleExperts.com.

North Scottsdale – Such a Unique Place

August 24, 2010

The North Scottsdale Real Estate market is unique. That is why I get frustrated when I read information in the media about the overall Phoenix Real Estate market conditions. When reporting stats and foreclosure numbers, they tend to group North Scottsdale, which includes Desert Mountain, into the Phoenix area as a whole. I have noticed that [...]

How a Flood in My Home Turned into an Example of Great Customer Service

August 21, 2010

I am a big fan of excellent customer service. I know you are probably saying to yourself….who isn’t? Everyone likes to be treated special but that just isn’t the norm. The average level of customer service is dismal in my opinion. I think we are numb to being treated poorly. That’s why when I receive [...]

Desert Mountain Foreclosures -The Early Bird Gets the Worm

August 18, 2010

The best Desert Mountain Foreclosures sell extremely fast. I have said this numerous times and some buyers believe me, others do not. There is a perception in the national media that there is a glut of foreclosures on the market and they don’t sell very fast. That is not the case at all in Desert Mountain. When [...]
