Hassayampa Mtn Club Home For Sale, 732 Seri Prescott AZ I have been playing with video of my listings for months now, but recently decided to make the jump into high definition video. What I have found is that home buyers really appreciate being able to view high quality HD video of homes for sale. It saves them time and energy finding the best home. And since I already do 30 home previews each week, I simply pick the best deals to video with my GoPro HD2 camera.  This Hassayampa Mountain Club Prescott home is unusual in two ways: It was built in 2006 which makes it much newer than most of this neighborhood. Also it was built with in-floor radiant hydronic heat, which is more commonly used in very high end homes. It provides the highest level of comfort with the lowest amount of energy....

Earlier, I wrote that when the weather got cold here in Prescott, we mountain bikers head south for a little warm weather down in the deserts.  Sometimes, when time is at a premium, we have to ride close to home if we want to maintain a little fitness.  Last Monday was the case when I just needed a little time in the saddle.  I had to get my truck worked on, and conveniently the tire shop was located near the end of Wolverton trail.  As I set out from Ponderosa tire, I decided it would be nice to ride a portion of the Whiskey, see how my fitness was.  Taking Copper Basin rd. to Camp Pearlstein and up trail 393.  Shortly after starting 393, the snow storms back in Nov and Dec had made the trails a little more trecherous.  Not only were they muddy and snowy, several trees had fallen over,...

Last week, I had a post to see if your house followed the rules of Feng Shui.  If yours fell short, don't worry, like anything, there are ways to fix your space.  This second article follows up on the first and lets you know how to fix those problem areas in your home if you want it to be more Feng Shui.     Feng Shui Cures   In the home I am renting, there was a deck at the back of the house that was closed in to make a year round Arizona room.  The original layout of the floor plan for the house was a rectangle.  By adding the Arizona room, the house essentially changed into a different shape, eliminating most of the wealth corner, and increasing the relationship corner.   It’s important to know that when Feng Shui works with missing corners, rule of thumb is that if an addition is le...

The chart below shows the 3-Year Trend in the Ratio of Selling Price to Asking Price for the Prescott Area. The chart shows that the ratios run from a low of 91% in March of 2011 to highs to a range of 94% to 96% most of the time. As our inventory of homes dropped in the last few months of 2011, the ratios are near 95.5%. This chart can be interpreted to mean that a Buyer can reasonably expect to pay between 90% and 100% of the asking price. A home that is priced to sell quickly can sometimes attract enough potential buyers that the selling price could actually be above the list price. On the other hand, an overpriced home can often be purchased at a price considerably below the 90% mark.

The real estate market in Prescott, Arizona is getting a little healthier. This chart below shows that equity sales are returning to around the same higher fraction they were in the last half of 2009.The chart also shows that short sales are only slightly higher at around 12% in the last couple of months while the 3-year average is close to 9%. The encouraging trend is that the sales of REOs (foreclosures) has decreased from a high of 50% to around 32% for the last couple of months. I think Prescott is a healthier market than many other parts of Arizona.

List Your Prescott Home for Sale Now:  that’s my recommendation and I’m sticking to it.    Thinking of listing your home for sale in Prescott Arizona?  Many sellers in the Prescott Arizona area want to wait until the spring before putting their home on the market. Why? They don’t think there are many buyers out looking in the winter.  They believe that they will see more potential buyers in the spring and summer and as a result will get a higher price. They are concerned about buyers tracking snow or mud into their homes. Historically, in our Prescott real estate market this line of reasoning made sense. However, our current market does not encourage waiting to list your home for sale.  There are fewer buyers, yet they are serious “ready, willing, and able” buyers.  Our inventory is so ...

I know that there are many things that we all tell our kids when we are out and about.  I know that mine are always asking questions and some of them I just don't know the answer.  Some I don't want them to know the true answer, so I make something up, like, 'Daddy, what does(insert and four letter word) mean'?  Lately, I've been preview Prescott luxury houses on Sunday afternoons after church with my wife, and by default, the kids.  Not always the most fun to bring to houses, but I like them to know what I do for a career, my 'bring the kids to work day'.  Recently, we were out in Williamson Valley and driving through a community called 'Hootenanny Holler' and driving down a street call 'corn squeezing lane'.   My daughter piped up from the back asking, 'Daddy, what does Hootenanny mea...

I know I shouldn't like this house.  It stands for everything I dislike about the growth of Prescott.  Let me explain.  In high school and college, I would go ride my bike up Copper Basin Rd, cut up Sheriff Posse Rd and hit the power line rd.  It was a perfect route to cut off lots of busy road way and ride through the forest.  The power line road cust straight up the mountain, steep and technically demanding.  One beautiful summer day I decided to ride the power line rd and low and behold, they were building a house near the trail.  Well needless to say, I wasn't happy, but it didn't effect my ride, it could be dealt with.  The next summer, same situation, but this time, they had caution tape on the trail!!   Up the way, they had literally built over the top of my trail.  It was the s...

  Anybody who's shown property for long enough and in remote enough places has seen some crazy stuff.  Here is the Prescott area all Realtors know that one of the best places for seeing crazy sites is in Paulden AZ.  We kind of think of the area as the Appalachian Mountains of Arizona, no offense Pauldenites.  You never know what your going to find.  Take for instance this... At first glance it looks like a ginormous pistol in someones driveway.  However, upon closer examination, it is a mail box!  And the ironic part is, the last name is Sturm, like 'Sturm Ruger' the firearms manufacturer.  I would think maybe he was the owner or something, but I guess the owner of Sturm Ruger would be living on a huge ranch or in a mansion, and this house didn't quite fit my expectations.  Please noti...
