Desert Mountain Foreclosure Deal of the Day

Carmen Brodeur — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 19:48:27 +0000

Today’s Desert Mountain foreclosure deal of the day is Gambel Quail 4. This is an amazing deal and will not last long. The home has an open floor plan with a large functional kitchen, custom Alder cabinetry, granite counter tops, travertine floors throughout and lots of privacy. There is also a small play pool and putting green in the backyard.

It is priced at $459,900 but was priced at $1,095,000 in 2005. That is over 50% less than what it was! There is no membership included to the Desert Mountain Club.

The bank owned homes in Desert Mountain have practically gone away. This is the first to come available in quite some time and puts the total number at only 3 in this community. Now is a great time to take advantage of spectacular deals like this one before we start to see an increase in prices.

What?! Only 2 Desert Mountain Foreclosures Available???

Carmen Brodeur — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 18:33:31 +0000

There are currently only TWO Desert Mountain foreclosures available. This is incredible! That is only 1% of the current Desert Mountain inventory of homes for sale. We usually have 8-12 foreclosures on the market in Desert Mountain at any one time. The Desert Mountain market is really picking up. It is a completely different situation for buyers than during 2010.

The available foreclosures include:

Apache Cottage 34 – Priced at $504,900 and is 2,454 square-feet. It was listed at $895,000 in 2008. This is a fixer upper on the Apache Golf Course. It could be beautiful with some elbow grease. Walking distance to the Apache Clubhouse.

Lookout Ridge 1 – Priced at $699,000 and is 2,960 square-feet. This home previously sold for $1,100,000 in 2009. This is a lovely home on an elevated lot with a sunny southern exposure. The home travertine floors, granite counters and high end appliances.

Many people are still under the impression that buyers have a ton of choices when it comes to foreclosures but that is not true at all. The foreclosures are really starting to go away. Desert Mountain still has some great deals available on homes that are not distressed, but as the competing foreclosure prices go away the home prices will start to increase. If you are considering purchasing in Desert Mountain, it is time to get off the fence.

Is Desert Mountain Only for the Wealthy?

Carmen Brodeur — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 16:00:05 +0000

The Desert Mountain Golf Club has always had the reputation of being the playground of the wealthy. But is it truly reserved only for Richie Riches? The demographics of the zip code 85262 where Desert Mountain is located show a much higher annual income per capita and a higher level of education per capita than the rest of Maricopa County. Clearly Desert Mountain members are quite well off. This is not surprising considering that the majority of homes in Desert Mountain are seasonal residences. Many are second, third or fourth homes.

However, did you know there are also some very affordable smaller homes and cottages available in Desert Mountain? Desert Mountain real estate choices include many homes under $750,000. There is a small selection of affordable homes shown below.

Call me for a personal tour of Desert Mountain homes in your price range. Whether you are looking for an affordable cottage or a grand estate, I am here to help.

Turn Back the Hands of Time with Desert Mountain Prices

Carmen Brodeur — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 14:00:26 +0000

It should come as no surprise that homes values in Desert Mountain have decreased dramatically. However, the fact that most homes in Desert Mountain Scottsdale have declined to the prices of a decade ago is a surprise to many. In many cases the price is similar or lower than a decade ago. Take for example a beautiful golf home that is currently for sale in Lookout Ridge. It is a lovely 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home with a fantastic view of the Renegade Golf Course. It has a sunny southern exposure for maximum sun on the patio all winter long. The home is offered completely furnished with a full Equity Golf Membership for $899,500. The current owner bought this home almost 11 years ago for $927,441. You are able to buy this gorgeous golf home for LESS than what it sold for almost 11 years ago! Call me at 1-800-300-0263 for a personal tour of this home.

Desert Mountain Deal of the Day

Carmen Brodeur — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 23:39:06 +0000

Today’s Desert Mountain deal of the day is an IMMACULATE home located in the village of Cochise Ridge. This home offers an exceptional resort-style backyard with absolutely breathtaking views. Nothing else in this village compares.

The home is 3,067 square-feet and includes 2 bedrooms with the option of easily converting the den into a 3rd bedroom. There has only been one owner who has kept this property in nearly perfect condition. It was recently reduced in price by $100,000 and is now ONLY $795,000.

This is a great home for somebody who likes to spend a lot of time relaxing on the patio. With the Arizona sunshine you have about 360 days a year to enjoy the gorgeous mountain and Arizona sunset views. The large patio includes plenty of space for entertaining, a fireplace to stay cozy during the winter months and a sparkling pebble tec lap pool for the summer months. The lot is very private and backs onto a wash so there are no worries about possible construction that could abstruct the views.

Feel free to call me at (800) 300-0263 if you have any questions about this or any other Desert Mountain Homes.
