I often get the, “Where is the best place to buy real estate in Goodyear Arizona” question from buyers considering a move to Arizona. That is a very general question that is best answered by another question, “What factors are most important to you? ” There are a number of factors that determine a great place to live. Most important on many people’s list are: crime rates, school rankings, subdivision rules and regulations, tax assessments, and potential resale value. There are many resources on the web with hard numbers and statistics for many of these questions. However, nothing can replace the experience and knowledge of a professional real estate agent. Every Buyer Specialist on the Krone Team calls the West Valley home and has extensive knowledge on all of these questions. If you wo... 05/17/2010

A Short Sale in Goodyear Arizona is nothing more than a regular resale with one critical difference.  The Listing Agent MUST be able to successfully negotiate a Short Sale Approval from the Lien Holder(s) in order for the Short Sale in Goodyear Arizona to close escrow.  That's where the failed Short Sales fail.  The Short Sale Listing Agent lacks either the skill, the will, or both, to do what it takes to secure an acceptable contract, convince the lien holders to accept the proceeds, and escalate the file as and when needed. Haven Express specializes in Short Sales throughout the ARMLS area - Maricopa County and a piece of Pinal County.  We have successfully completed, or are in the process of completing: Short Sales in Phoenix Arizona Short Sales in Scottsdale Arizona Short Sales in G... 04/04/2010

Here is some good news for the west valley a settlement was finally reached between state and county officials over construction of single-family homes near Luke Air Force Base.  The settlement requires a county ordinance prohibiting development of single-family homes in high-accident and high-noise areas around Luke, Luke Aux 1 and Gila Bend Air Force Auxiliary Field. Putting an end to the disagreement between the State and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors that has gone on for several years was seen as critical in bringing the F-35 to Luke.    As we all know Luke brings over 2 billion dollars to the Arizona economy and is extremely important to the west valley. 02/04/2010

Camelot Homes has sold their remaining lots in Cortile at Palm Valley to Meritage Homes.  The only other information communicated at this time was that Meritage Homes will be building homes that conform to the guidelines set up by the Master Developer of Palm Valley and the City of Goodyear.  This is of course disappointing news to the existing homeowners in Cortile, who will just have to wait and see what product Meritage brings to Palm Valley to build out Cortile. 01/15/2010

Encouraging news for the Southwest Valley has come out, population figures show the Southwest Valley kept growing in 2009, although much slower than in recent boom years. According to the Arizona Department of Commerce, Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Tolleson grew by an average of 2.3 percent in 2009.

Home resales surged to the highest level in nearly three years, reports seem to indicate this is a reflection of the extraordinary level of federal support that has pulled the housing market back from the worst downturn since the great depression.  I'm not sure that I'm convinced that is all there is to it, many of the home sales I see are to either investors or individuals that see a good value in buying now, most of whom are not taking advantage of any federal assistance program.  The National Association of Realtors says sales rose 7.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.54 million in November, from a downwardly revised pace of 6.09 million in October. Sales were 44 percent above last year's levels, a record jump. They had been expected to rise to an annual pace of 6.25... 12/22/2009

In a long line of attempts at helping this erratic real estate market, the US Treasury Dept unveiled a plan to speed up and encourage short sales for families facing foreclosure.  As real estate agents across the US know, short sales are a logical and less costly option to families facing foreclosure.  An initial article from Rueter's outlines some points in the plan. Mandatory time lines for lenders to respond Financial incentives for completing short sales Guidance caps the aggregate proceeds to subordinate lien holders at $3,000 Prohibits mortgage servicing companies from reducing real estate commissions on the sale This maybe the start to increased efficiency in the short sale process across the many lenders flooded with short sale requests.  12/01/2009

Did everyone see that Phoenix is moving ahead with plans to expand Phoenix Goodyear Airport, which it owns and operates southwest of Litchfield and Yuma roads, near Goodyear Ballpark. The project calls for an 8,500-foot taxiway parallel to the runway. The Goodyear airport handled about 178,000 takeoffs and landings in 2008. Phoenix expects that to nearly double over the next 20 years. I enjoy having the Goodyear Airport close by with its unique air traffic as I have a fascination with airplanes, but I'm sure that some will see more air traffic as a negative for the area.  Perhaps there is a chance that the Goodyear Airpark area could be developed in the future with more businesses that rely on better airport facilities?  Who knows it could be the next Scottsdale Airpark! 11/30/2009

Last week I posted about the good retail news, well this week the bad news hit!  Westcor is asking the City of Goodyear to extend the deadline for Estrella Falls Mall to be finished as far out as 2016.  The current development agreement with Goodyear; requires Westcor to finish the mall by the end of 2012. Westcor is offering to prepay the city permits and related fees to help make up a city budget shortfall.  I can't imagine the City has many options but to go along with Westcor when they meet Dec. 7. 11/18/2009

Now is the best time we have seen in decades to buy a new home, and we may not have this opportunity again.  Here are three reasons to buy a home now: •1.       Incredible Value, there are many homes on the market in Goodyear, Palm Valley, Estrella Mountain Ranch, Verrado, and the Entire West Valley area that are incredible values. •2.       Record low interest rates, last week interest rates edged blow 5% on 30 year fixed mortgages. •3.       Tax Credits, the first time home buyers tax credit has been extended and expanded to include existing homeowners. The combination of these three factors should be a huge motivator for anyone considering a home purchase to move on it now; the tax credit opportunity will pass mid 2010 and as the economy recovers interest rates will rise.  Contact us... 11/11/2009

Camelot Homes is going to start building homes at Cortile in Palm Valley Goodyear in the first quarter of 2010.  New floor plans are going to be introduced with smaller square footage, evidently as small as 1700 sq ft starting in the low 200's.  I can't wait to see what they are going to introduce, with their reputation of building stylish high quality designs a new smaller lower priced series of homes could be a big hit.  I'll post more news when I have it. 11/05/2009

Below you can find the Goodyear Arizona Residential Real Estate Market activities for August 2009 according to ARMLS data. The trend continues of less new listings and more pending and sold. This contributes to total inventory reduction and more balanced real estate market. Definitely the economic law of Supply and Demand is the contributing factor to the condition of the real estate market. Currently are less supply and more demand at today's bargain prices. Demand is coming mainly from the first time home buyers and the investors. Many Southwest Valley Communities are experiencing a shortage of inventory available for purchase in the lower price ranges, which creates the multiple-offers situations on the available properties. When it happens, the prices are pushed up. The prices for h... 09/19/2009
