House With A View

The Phoenix metropolitan area is unique in that it is surrounded by mountains. In fact, houses with a mountain view are quite popular, especially in Scottsdale. No matter which direction your backyard faces there will be a view. From the Camelback Mountain to South Mountain Park, the views from Scottsdale are some of the best in the state. Having a mountain view only adds to the value of the home and, in this market, Scottsdale homes and a great view are more affordable than ever.

What Exactly is The MLS?

The MLS is a great tool for every licensed realtor. Home buyers and sellers can access part of the system through various online sources, like Zillow and Realtor.com, however, only a licensed realtor can see the whole picture. In fact, an experienced realtor can tell you the straight facts about a house, including how long it has really been for sale, who bought it and for how much. Being able to access the price history as well as previous listing data can be a useful negotiating tool when purchasing a new home but it can also aid when selling a home. You want the scoop on all your competition when you sell your home or condo in a tight market and a licensed realtor with access to the MLS is your best bet.

Distressed Sales Help Young Families

Distressed sales are a great way for young families to purchase in great school districts. In fact, Scottsdale luxury home communities were often too expensive for first-time homebuyers and young families. The recent drop in prices combined with the plethora of distressed sales now provide many opportunities to purchase affordable homes in Scottsdale. Scottsdale public schools are some of the best in the country and it is easy to understand why parents would want to move into that school district. Purchasing a distressed sale now gives them the opportunity to do so.

Buying Vacant Land in Scottsdale

Finding the perfect land lots for your dream Scottsdale home can be a difficult and tedious and, on occasion, exhausting process. Hiring the right realtor is essential to your success in this endeavor. Both common sense and experience help them find you the perfect vacant lot, whether they have to go through the MLS or through their various contacts. Be sure you look at the purchase of vacant land like any other business transaction. Do not get too attached. Investigate both local building codes as well as in the neighborhood requirements before purchasing so that you know in advance if your dream home can be built.

How To Find Vacant Land in Scottsdale

Vacant land is hard to find in suburban cities like Scottsdale. Often larger parcels are owned by long-time area residents who formerly farmed the land. Family members are holding on until the price of land is at a premium and they can sell to the highest bidder. Real estate development companies as well as new homebuilders also own large parcels of premium, undeveloped land in Scottsdale for use in future community development projects. An experienced realtor can, however, find vacant land for your dream home.

The Value in City Lights

It may seem silly to some homebuyers but a fantastic, sweeping of city lights can add value to a home, driving up the purchase price. After evaluating needs, like how many bedrooms and bathrooms, and evaluating wants, a private suite for guests and a pool, homebuyers can narrow the list of available Scottsdale homes. In fact, many homes Scottsdale have amazing views which could be the deciding factor in choosing one home over another for purchase. With Arizona's mild winter temperatures, sitting outside in the evening lends itself to an enjoyable and romantic view.

Gated Communities in Scottsdale

Gated communities are just that: a community that has a gated entrance for privacy and security purposes. Many people prefer to live in a gated community. It makes them feel that their possessions as well as the home itself is protected against theft and vandalism when they travel. The upscale city of Scottsdale has many gated communities for buyers to choose from and, with the recent slide in home values and increased foreclosures, purchasing a home in an upscale, gated community has never been more affordable for the average home buyer.

Short Sales Require Patience

Short sales are also on the rise in Scottsdale luxury communities. A short sale is no different than any other real estate transaction; it just takes a little bit longer to complete. A buyer makes an offer to a homeowner and they negotiate to an agreeable price. Normally, you would then continue on with the closing process. In a short sale, the offer now goes to the bank for final approval. This process could go quickly or could take up to two months, depending on the bank and the number of short sales they have. Don't be afraid of going after a short sale in Scottsdale. You could get the house of your dreams.
