Take Advantage of the Downed Economy and housing market now!!
Despite the fact that the economy seems to be a never ending up and down whirlwind these days there are strategies that will allow anyone even with just a little bit of money to make a profit out of the downed economy, the downed housing market and even the wild ride in stock markets (I am not a licensed stock broker so I have no professional advice on that for you, and would recommend talking with a qualified stock broker should you choose to invest that way). However, I do consult with a hedge fund company that will remain nameless for confidentiality purposes on a monthly basis giving them advise on the real estate market and trending. I also have worked with the local ABC 15 news here in Arizona on several occasions regarding hot real estate topics. Why do I start this blog out with that background? Well, partly to express my credentials as a professional, that other professionals look to me when they need the advice of someone in the trenches each day out there pounding the pavement working real estate deals from every angle, Bank owned, Short sales, regular re-sales, new builds (one of which I was the preferred agent for anyone with a home to sell before they could buy for over 3 years as the contingency realtor) They relied on my professional expertise to get the home sold the the buyer could then close on the new construction home. What I have learned is despite the situation, there is always a way to profit in any market up or down, I personally made over 700k buying and selling homes in 2005-2006. I am currently looking at investing much of what is left over after paying the capital gains taxes on that into the current market. Why? Because based on the number of people losing their homes each month, they need a place to live, I can buy a home for 70-90k and rent it for 900-1000 do the math that is a higher return than you can get anywhere right now, trust me I own Altria group stock at a dollar cost average that pays me a quartely dividend of about 7% not bad, but when you look at the pricing of real estate and the returns that can be generated from it right now, it may be one of the best times in history. Many of the homes on the market are priced back to where they were in the mid to late 90's through out the valley. There are incredible deals out in the market, yes they will require some work, but even with the work they can still return a minimum of 8,9 10% on the investment if you can deal in cash. Taking out a mortgage will reduce returns. If you are looking to take advantage of this market to really seize the opportunity to make the best out of what is happening don't wait much longer. Look into buying real estate through a self directed IRA etc. For more information call me, I am happy to answer questions, help in any way that I can, provide referrals for attorneys that can help set up pension plans etc that will allow you to utilize money that you may just have sitting around getting a 1-3% return on and double triple that return it is possible and I am working with clients that are making it reality everyday! For more information visit my website www.allarizonarealestate.com or just pick up the phone and call, I do answer my phone when I am not with clients, if I am with clients I simply return calls within 24 hours guaranteed! I look forward to helping you take advantage of this economy, just today I made over $600 trading stocks...in stocks, some times you lose, some times you break even but with real estate one of the great things is it always has and always will bounce back, buy low, sell high and in the meantime have positive cash flow!

Gilbert New and Spec homes single family detached homes starting at:
Foreclosure pricing: As low as $136,600 base prices, you can build new there are over 159 models in Gilbert that will allow you to start from scratch, select your interior colors and designs, or you can buy a spec that is ready to close typically in 45-46 days. There are currently over 170 spec homes available in the Gilbert area. I tried to attach the links in these posts but it does not work, so if you want the information just call or email me your name and an accurate email address, I will be happy to send you homes that meet your criteria including size, price, etc. The links will include renderings of the outside, floor plans and pricing. There is no significant advantage of going to deal with the builders sales agent direct. Our commissions are built into the prices and we can typically negotiate better incentives than you can on your own. Builders agent may tell you differently but it is not true. So if you go, go with a realtor, have your own representation that can guide you through the contract and process, trust me the agent behind the desk works for the builder and their job is to make as much money for the builder as possible. Call me with questions, or email or text me if that is your preferred communication route.

May 31st Updated Scottsdale statistics and market information
Based on feedback from several avid realty times readers, I am making an effort to provide more up to date information and keep it up to date on a more regular basis, as a professional Realtor in the market, I feel I owe it to those of you that are consistenly looking for accurate market conditions to provide that information to you as often as possible. Please feel free to email me direct kgagon@earthlink.net with requests of what you would like to see posted/updated here weekly/monthly here so that I can manage and update accordingly!
Scottsdale updated statistics: Updated May 31, 20104145 Active homes for sale, 978 Pending close of escrow, 891 Under contract with contingencies to close, 656 closed in May. Average closed price was $418,148. The average list to sales price ratio was 95%, Average marketing time of the closed sales was 133 days on the market. For overall market statistics keep reading.
In the most recent statistics update search and market analysis of the Arizona MLS as of May 31, 2010. Inventory is on a slow rise while pending sales and sales with contingencies continue to slowly decline. The preliminary estimate of closed sales for May is 8,392 and may adjust slightly higher or lower the first few days of May at which time I will be sure to update the number here to provide accurate nubers and information. April closings were slightly higher at 9,241, though I do expect to see a higher number of closings in June as a result of all the tax credit buyers that must close to meet the deadline of June 30th.
For a complete comparison of April to May numbers, read my April/May statistics blog on Trulia.com. As of 5/31/2010, Currently the active inventory of homes in the MLS for sale is at 33,528. The pending sales are at 13,041. Homes under contract with contingencies which make up a good portion of the homes that are contingent on short sale approval are at 7,880. And the closed sales for May again 8,392. The average closed sales price for May (which is not the median price) was $178,593 with an average days on the market of 95 and the list to sale price close ratio was 98%
Of the above numbers Bank/Lender/or corporate owned homes make up 5,343 of the active inventory, 4056 of the pending inventory, 244 of the homes under contract with contingencies, and 3,255 of the closed homes for May. The average closed sales price of these homes was lower at just $134,449 with an average days on the market of 74 and a list to sale price closed ratio of just under 100%. This is an indicator that homes that fall into the lender and bank owned category for the most part are selling at or above thier asking prices.
Of the total numbers Short Sale and preforeclosure properties make up 9041 of the active inventory, 4351 of the pending inventory, 7497 of the homes under contract with contingencies, and accounted for 1,722 of the closed sales for May at an average closed sales price of $163,319 with a list to sale ratio of approximately 98% and an average days on the market of 140.

Based on the statistics from January 1, 2010 the average list to sell ratio is within 2% of the list price, with an average marketing to contract time of just 83 days. This does not include any contributions to buyer closing costs that are very common in todays market. When listing your home, price it to sell up front and it will sell. For detailed information on pricing your home contact me today.
Buyers are you looking for a bank owned home but not getting to them fast enough? Finding that they have multiple offers before you have even had a chance to look at them? We have access to hundreds of bank owned listings in the premarketing stages that have not yet hit MLS, to get in on the information of these listings before anyone else email me directly to kgagon@earthlink.net and ask to be included in the premarketing updates, take charge of finding your next, new home, or investment opportunity today be proactive in your search.
2009 statistics show that it was the 3rd best year for closed sales since 2004 and 2005. In 2009 there were 92,389 closed sales, falling just behind the number for 2004 of 98,298. Yes the average sales price was considerable lower but that allowed many of the first time buyers back into the real estate market.
In keeping ahead of the real estate changes, I was recently interviewed by Christina Boomer at ABC 15 News for using cutting edge technology and video news marketing to sell more homes. I am one of only a few agent nationwide that has this marketing format and it is a growing segment of my business that can help to sell your home faster.
