Maricopa real estate, maricopa homes for sale

The bare beauty of Maricopa is located in the south part of the Greater Phoenix area, with the Gila River Indian Reservation to the north, Chandler and Phoenix farther north. Casa Grande is southeast of Maricopa. One can only praise the tranquility and peace the natural surroundings offer. Here you and your family can experience the greatest happiness’s. Come and see what you will love about Maricopa AZ Homes for sale: this is definitely a place to make your dream a reality.

Price dominates conversation when we talk about buying a home. However, when it comes down to it, we actually buy for the same reasons our parents and grandparents did – we want a better lifestyle for ourselves and our families.

The Myers Research and Strategic Services Survey:

The top five reasons given in this survey for buying a home, in order, are:

  • Home ownership provides a stable and safe environment for children and other family members;
  • Home ownership means the money you spend on housing goes towards building equity, rather than to a landlord;
  • Home ownership creates the opportunity to pay off a mortgage and own your home by the time you retire;
  • Home ownership creates the opportunity to live in a neighborhood that you enjoy;
  • Home ownership allows you the right to decorate, modify and renovate your home as you see fit.

National Housing Survey:

The top five reasons given in this survey for buying a home, in order, are:

  • It means having a good place to raise children and provide them with a good education;
  • You have a physical structure where you and your family feel safe;
  • It allows you to have more space for your family;
  • It gives you control of what you do with your living space (renovations and updates);
  • Paying rent is not a good investment.

I would add that ownership saves the hassle and cost of moving from rental to rental. By owning a home one invests into the property, so the money that you would normally use towards rent now goes into ownership.

Real Estate – Hedge Against Inflation

Posted on: September 19th, 2011

Maricopa Arizona Properties

With the recent political debates about the National Debt, investors are still fearing inflation as the Federal Reserve has no plans to reign in its easy monetary policy. Popular hedges against inflation and a devalued dollar are hard assets such as precious metals and real estate. In an inflationary environment, real estate becomes an attractive investment as repayment of a home is made in dollars that are worth less over time, effectively making the value of a mortgage loan less in real terms than the numbers indicate.

Many experts believe that eventually the vast amounts of capital sitting in low-yield investments such as government and corporate bonds and fixed income investments will seek higher yields in real estate. High-quality real estate and properties should become a haven for investors as fears of a double-dip recession pave the way for capital flight from negative real interest rate bonds and into real assets.

Primary and secondary homes in regions with solid economic fundamentals and good prospects for growth should become more attractive as the economy recovers.  The Maricopa AZ region should weather the storm with its high-tech business presence and highly skilled workforce from many universities in the area. With the economic data pointing towards inflation, now may be a good time to buy a quality new home at a deflated price.

First Time Buyers

Posted on: September 8th, 2011

Maricopa Real Estate Buyers

Thinking of investing your entire buying process into this emotional roller coaster over the next couple months? You don’t have to, but many buyers are seeing themselves at first excited about buying a home then quickly frustrated when home after home gets snatched up by investors. What’s happening?

As the current Maricopa real estate market goes, homes that require a lot of work as in foreclosures, short sales or banked owned homes are sitting on the market far longer than most would like. Many times these homes may need work such as new appliances, roofs, siding or major interior work. Most first time home buyers don’t want to take on such a massive project but most investors don’t either. When first time buyers head into the market place with their 3% down and $1,000 down payment they can quickl be overlooked by the cash out buyer wanting everything as-is.

Many times first time buyers find themselves in utter confusion wondering what happened to this “buyer’s market” they hear so much about. They jump into the ring thinking they can easily buy a home. But the reality is many of these types of home buyers are also looking in the same price range as most investors. This can pose a challenge as so many of these homes are HUD homes, foreclosures, short sales orFirst  if they are seller offered, in such great condition that investors  jump on them before owner occupied buyers get a chance to investigate.

There is a catch though. Make sure your Maricopa real estate agent knows the homes with owner occupied restrictions. This can be many homes that are on the market just 7-14 days. Many HUD homes are open to owner occupancy only in the first few days of the listing to allow for more options rather than investors alone.  There are programs and provisions for those that plan on actually being in the home for over 2 years that allow first right of refusal.

But what if a first time buyer is out there checking out homes not knowing when they became available and not aware of the rules? Here are some tips that might help you be ready when the right Maricopa real estate becomes available.

  1. Get pre-approved first. Have all of your financing in place ahead of time. Have a letter ready for the sellers from your lender assuring financing.
  2. Have money on hand for earnest money and extra in the bank to show the seller or the bank you are a stable buyer.
  3. Tell the seller why you should have the home. Write a letter to the actual seller or bank telling them of your financial situation and why you deserve the home.
  4. Don’t wait when the right house comes along. You know when the right house presents itself. Don’t think too long on it. You may miss out on a great home. Be ready to buy when you see the right home.

Being a first time home buyer in the Maricopa real estate market can be tricky but it doesn’t have to be disappointing. Know the facts and your rights now and you can be more prepared in the future for your investment.
