The least expensive single family detached home right now is in Fiesta at Desert Ridge, and is offered as a short sale with a sales listing price of $145,000. Due to very high market demand, there are currently multiple offers on the Fiesta at Desert Ridge property, so it may contract for more than list price.

At 1,269 square feet in size, the Fiesta home offers 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Even at a full list sales price, a home buyer purchasing this property could be in Desert Ridge for a monthly payment of $657.98 plus taxes and insurance (payment based on today’s fixed FHA loan rate of 3.875% with a 640+ FICO score). Finding a one bedroom, one bath rental home in North Phoenix is near impossible for this price, especially in the Desert Ridge area. Additionally, FHA loans require only a 3.5% down payment, so it could be much easier to get into a home than you might think.

One home is 1,610 square feet in size while the other is 1,322 square feet in size. At this price, with the same FHA financing scenario above, your payment would be $1,020.55 plus taxes and insurance.

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.

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.

This is a great sign as we head into peak season.  This development is very popular among winter visitors.  Perhaps we have solidified somewhat of a “bottom” in this community.  Clearly it is a huge value at these prices considering the upgrades, amenities and the fact that it is gated.

If you are a seller, this is a good time to sell – of course understanding if you bought new you paid more than today’s values.  If you want to sell but feel you cannot due to the mortgage balance you have, then perhaps you would like to consider a short sale on your property.  I have successfully closed 75+ short sales and with the current demand for properties, now would be a great time.

If you are a buyer, I have to advise to get off the fence if you have been there.  Trying to time the very bottom is very difficult, however the combination of value and interest rates now makes for a hard argument to buy now.  Prices could even go up as the winter months come and demand increases more.  Toll Brothers consistently sells much higher than the resale market so their is market for higher prices.

Call me if you would like to discuss your situation – happy to share with information about the process and help you determine if it would be right for you.

Have a happy and safe Labor Day Weekend!
