North Canyon Ranch Home – Name Your Price Today!
November 23rd, 2008 categories: Featured Properties
This weekend I am holding two “open bidding” open houses on two homes that are very desirable. One of these homes is in North Canyon Ranch and the other in Desert Ridge. These homes are not bank owned or short sales and somebody will have the opportunity to get a nice home at a good price. On top of that, they will not have the hassle of dealing with a bank or waiting for a short sale approval. Neither should need much as far as repairs goes and if there are repairs to be made, the sellers may be willing to make them.
The homes are open today from 12-5pm and bids will be reviewed after 5pm today. The seller does have an undisclosed reserve price, but is motivated.
The home in North Canyon Ranch has an opening bid of $125,000. The home is 1,311 square, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. This is a greatroom floor plan with vaulted ceilings. This home is located on a corner lot with a charming backyard and covered patio.
I would love to see you today at the open house! The address is 24443 N. 35th Dr., Glendale, AZ. This located is just south of Happy Valley Rd off of 35th Ave. This home is close to I-17 and all of the shopping and dining at the new Norterra shopping center. Feel free to call me at 480-201-4185 for more details!

Two Amazing Lots In Fountain Hills Available – Owner Will Carry!
November 10th, 2008 categories: Featured Properties, Seller Financing
I have two prime pieces of land in Fountain Hills, Arizona that are truly a great opportunities. Not only is the land priced well due to market conditions, but the owners are offering terms on it that make it an extraordinary deal.
We all know that land can be much more difficult to obtain financing on, especially with current lending guidelines. With just 10% down, you do not need a bank to capture a great piece of land in Fountain Hills. Here is a sample of the terms for one of the parcels which is offered at $249,000.
10% Down – $24,900
Payment – $1,650.31 @ 8% Interest Rate (P & I)
2 year balloon note
The other parcel is offered at $259,000 and adjoins the other parcel and is also offering terms. Of course both can be purchased with cash or traditional financing if you prefer. The parcel offered at $259,000 is just over 1 acre on a hillside with amazing views. The other parcel is .87 acres and offers similar views. Both of these parcels are located in the Fountain Hills subdivision of Eagle Ridge. 
Whether you are interested in holding to build your dream home or you just want to own for an investment, land has always been a good investment. Even in times like these, land tends to hold its value more than some homes as there is not as much quality inventory. Comparable lots to these in Eagle Ridge were selling for over $400,000 in ‘05 and ‘06. Similar parcels in Sunridge Canyon were selling for over $350,000.
If you aren’t not familiar with Fountain Hills, I encourage you to research. It is just East of Scottsdale and is know for its small town charm and spectacular views. It is also home to the world’s tallest fountain.
If you have questions about these lots or would like more information, please do not hesitate to call me at 480-201-4185 or drop me an email.
