Villages at Aviano – Desert Ridge – Furnished Home Sale Price Just Reduced

Back in December of 2011, Toll Brothers made the decision to close the sales office in Villages at Aviano for an undisclosed amount of time. Apparently they finally decided that competing with the short sale and bank owned resale properties from earlier phases was too challenging. They had been able to consistently sell the new models for more than the resale, but it took heavy incentives and certainly not the volume they had hoped for I am sure. I will be curious when they decide they can open up again and finish the remaining buildings.

With all the new home inventory gone, there is only resale inventory remaining and even that is scarce now. Currently there are only 4 units active in Villages at Aviano. They all happen to be traditional sales as well – no short sales or bank owned listings.

Villages at Aviano - Desert Ridge, North Phoenix Arizona furnished home sale price just reduced.

The best value appears to be a Cereto model which is 1,535 sf with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. It was just reduced to $219,000 from $229,999. The home is being sold furnished as well, with what appears to be pretty nice contemporary furniture. This makes it a great opportunity for the buyer looking for that perfect winter getaway! With all of amenities that Villages at Aviano has to offer, it is hard to beat the lifestyle and location.

Amici in Villages at AvianoHappy New Year!  I wish you all a healthy, happy and successful 2011!  I have a special property to start the year off right for someone who wants a turn-key property without the hassle of waiting for a short sale or the expense of needing to rehab.

I just reduced this Amici floorplan to $269,000!  Toll Brothers has this floorplan at $269,900 – BASE PRICE!  This property has over $100,000 in upgrades – it is beautiful! You would spend $369,000 to replicate this with the builder!  It is only 1 year old and was “lightly” lived in for about 5 months.  Owner built dream home and then had to transfer for work.  This is an unfortunate situation for seller, but a HUGE opportunity for a buyer who wants an immaculate unit.

Villages at Aviano – New Amica Listing!

Villages at Aviano - Amica

You may have frequently heard the phrase in real estate “seller’s loss is buyer’s gain” but a new listing in The Villages at Aviano at Desert Ridge  is really deserving of that phrase.

Seller’s built their dream home at The Villages at Aviano and only moved in 3 short months ago and now a job is forcing them to move.  This condo is upgraded to the hilt – EVERYTHING is upgraded!  You truly could not rebuild this with the builder. 

This condo is the very popular Toll Brothers model, the Amica.  The Amica is a ground level and the only condo in The Villages that is all on one level.  This makes this floorplan extremely popular for those who want to avoid stairs.

For those of you who are familiar with The Villages, you know that these condos are already very upgraded as offered by the builder.  The standards are above the norm, but these sellers put in over $100k in upgrades on top of an already beautiful condo. Master Bathroom

These sellers did all the obvious upgrades by upgrading the level of granite and adding the chisel edge.  They upgraded all cabinetry throughout as well.  Flooring was upgraded to tile throughout – no carpet.  In bedroom 2 which may be a den for many, they upgraded to a wide plank engineered hickory wood floor – gorgeous!

The master bath is gorgeous! The shower surrond is a floor to ceiling natural stone and they upgraded the shower door to a frameless glass.  They extended the natural stone to a backsplash at tub and counters.  Upgraded faucets and sinks as well.  Classy Closset systems were installed at master walk-in as well as bedroom 2 closet.

Here are a few other upgrades; custom paint throughout, upgraded fans, Hunter Douglas wood shutters, 5 1/4″ Spanish baseboards, solid core doors, upgraded hardware, surround sound, soft water system, security system and garage cabinets.  This blog is too short to list everything – you just have to see it.

GreatroomSadly, I cannot recoup the money this seller spent on upgrades, but I can pass on a great deal to someone else.  This unit was being sold at $299,000 base price and builder just reduce the next phase to $270,000 base price.  So, with all the upgrades – at the new base price – this would cost $370,000 to be built.  I am offering this at $309,000!!! We must remain competitive with the other units being offered now and so that is why I reiterate, “seller’s loss is buyer’s gain!”

If you would like a private showing, please call Kim at 480-201-4185 and I will arrange your tour or this stunning unit.  Remember, this is not a short sale or a bank owned property.  No hassle to close on this baby and start enjoying the lifestyle at The Villages at Aviano.
