What Kind Of A Home Will $250,000 Buy In Desert Ridge?
April 19th, 2009 categories: Desert Ridge
I thought it would be fun to start a new series of posts about what kind of home you could by in Desert Ridge for a certain price range. This post is to show what you could buy in Desert Ridge for $250,000 and under.
As of today, there are 22 active listings in the MLS that are listed at $250,000 or less. There is a mix of condos and single family homes. The boundaries I have included for Desert Ridge are 56th street to the East, Pinnacle Peak Rd to the North, Black Mountain Pkwy to the West and the 101 to the South. I included La Verne Condos in the search as many consider it Desert Ridge – it is located off of 40th Street, just South of Fireside at Desert Ridge.
The least expensive home you can buy right now is $160,000. It is a Trend Home in Fiesta at Desert Ridge. Trend built these homes in 1998-1999 and they are single family homes with rather small backyards. However, they are true single family homes with 2 car garages and this home is 1,269 square feet. With an FHA loan, a person can put 3.5% down ($5,600) and have a payment around $842.00 (assuming average interest rate of 5.1% today and not including taxes and insurance). This home home sold for $326,531 three years ago. This list price is a short sale though, so the bank would still have to approve the short pay. However, based on recent sold comps, $160,000 should get approved.
Don’t want to mess with a short sale? Then the least expensive home is Read the rest of this entry »

What Defines a Good Deal in the Desert Ridge Real Estate Market?
October 3rd, 2008 categories: Desert Ridge
While reviewing the sales statistics for September and current inventory for Desert Ridge I got to thinking about what constitutes a “good deal” in this market? What will it take for a buyer to feel like they “bought right” while making a purchase in 2008.
In the midst of bank bailouts, a real estate down turn and a fledgling economy, it is tough to get buyers to sign on the dotted line. When people ask me if I think we have reached “bottom” I always respond by saying that it depends on several factors. If they want to know if we have hit bottom as far as real estate prices, I also say that some homes are priced at what I would consider a bottom. How do I know that? They are evidenced by mulitple offers after 1-3 days on market. Usually these are bank owned properties and obviously are in varying condition. These are usually under $150k.
In a an are like Desert Ridge, it can be tough to determine. The home prices are higher, especially in Aviano where they can exceed 1.5 million. There is still a lot of inventory relative to monthly closings. Today there are 52 active listings in Aviano. Something will have to give to move that many properties considering only 2 properties closed in September. Prices have already experienced a major price correction in Aviano, so we are close. That being said, is it imperative to buy at the absolute bottom? Read the rest of this entry »
