UPDATE FEB 2017
The real estate market has taken quite a wild ride in the last decade or so and it seems to me that finally we are back to a near normal market with the end of the short sale and foreclosure waves. It just seems to me like we are bouncing along with no real market direction. The Wild West days of real estate though seem to be a thing of the past. Thank goodness!
What I see a lot of now though are post flip houses in all areas. These are junkers snapped up by professional firms that specialize in flipping and they typically redo kitchens, baths, all flooring in a short period of time and then sell at the highest price possible. Flips can vary widely in the quality of the construction though and getting them to appraise can be challenging. Despite the shows on cable TV where it seems everything flipped is a huge success, I see a lot of them sitting there and that are getting ratcheted down.
What will be interesting though is if interest rates are headed higher as predicted how will the Phoenix market react?
Now I don't see buyers feeling the "hey, I'm going to miss out if I don't buy now" attitude. That mind set might change though if rates go up as the fence sitters will feel they might be missing out if that trend continues. There could be a bump in sales over the next few months and with low inventory could be of benefit to sellers.
My advice to sellers in this market is to make your property show like a model as you are competing against fix and flip specialists at every price point. Appropriate pricing is important too as recent sold comparables are not ignored by appraisers anymore and will effect the value of your home. Overpriced homes are not getting offers in this market as there is too much to choose from.
Buyers? It's your turn as far as inventory goes but..............my advice is to get fully qualified for any loan you think you might need. It is the very first thing I'd do and that doesn't mean prequalified, it means qualified which details providing, paystubs, tax returns, etc. etc. The amount of documentation needed now is mind numbing and understanding all of the costs and fees should be at the top of your list.
Despite all of the great technological advances with websites showing all the available properties with great descriptions, pictures, etc. the actual transaction and price and terms are always subject to negotiation. It is for that reason you will want to hire an experienced negotiator with a track record of success who understands the nuances that can save you thousands of dollars in what is one of the most important financial decisions you can make!
