With low inventory, everyone is receiving offers from investors to purchase homes even when those home owners haven't listed their home(s) for sale.   Phone calls, text messages, and letters in the mail.  Sometimes it's a daily occurrence! Due to our low inventory, a predatory practice has surfaced.   Investors are approaching home owners directly to purchase their homes and the contracts used aren't approved by the Department of Real Estate.  Sellers are unwittingly going along with the sale without being protected during the transaction because the contracts don't cover language protecting them from a variety of pitfalls.  The other aspect of these investor purchases, is the investor buying their home is also pre-selling their home before the sale closes to someone else, and all witho... 08/16/2021

You're fulfilling a dream that you've had for years - building a new home out in the county.  You're in an area that is all new with neighbors far apart and the setting feels ideal.  But is it legal?  In Arizona, parcels of land that are subdivided into more 6 lots or more and resold become subdivisions.  THE MOST IMPORTANT thing to watch for is a Public Report.   If you are building a new home and have not received a public report, the subdivider of your subdivision of over 6 lots is building an illegal subdivision.   Illegal subdivisons are known as "wildcat subdivisions" in Arizona.  Wildcat subdivisions don't provide the regular protections because the public report is not included and you haven't received enough disclosure about the area.    A public report includes the following d... 08/12/2021

Financial experts have long considered as the best amount to bring for a down payment as twenty percent. However as more Millennials are planing to buy a home in the Phoenix real estate market, many are burdened with student loan debt and others slowly recovering from the shutdowns to save enough funds to pay 20 percent of the agreed sales price of a home can feel as an impossible plan.So, are first-time homebuyers in Phoenix truly coming up with that popular 20 percent? Actually, it varies on who you ask. Some agents in the Valley of the Sun say all of their first-time buyers have come in with 20 percent of the sales price. Many mortgage experts have a bit of a different experience.  Many claim that half of their borrowers have the means to come in with a 20 percent down payment. The o... 03/15/2021
