Want to sell your home fast in Phoenix?

Posted on by

I just drove out to Queen Creek, AZ this morning.  I received a phone call from a homeowner.  He said “I need to sell my home fast!” Wow, Queen Creek has changed a lot.  Tons of shopping, commercial buildings and bright lights.

We made the homeowner a cash offer.  We will be closing on this one in about 3 weeks.  We will be buying the home at the end of May.  Fortunately this home is sits in a good neighborhood.  And the homeowners have a friend who want to sell their home fast too!

Queen creek sure is a booming place.  It seems like lots of Canadians and other internationals are buying homes in this rural boom town.

 

 

2013 Housing & Urban Development Budget will Work to Discourage Outsourcing

Posted on by

shutterstock_124736281With the recent influx of in-sourcing in the manufacturing industry, congress is looking to continue the trend in the housing sector with their recent Housing and Urban Development (HUD) budget increases. In the president’s 2013 HUD Housing Budget overview, it is highlighted that HUD sectors will work to employ hundreds of workers over the next year with the help of this increase.

Congress’s plan of action includes:

 

  • Creating a 3.2% budget increase. This is planned to facilitate hundreds of jobs in the U.S. in 2013 in the HUD sector.

 

  • Helping metropolitan and rural communities undertake a new phase of transportation zoning, building code, and land use reform.

 

  •  Aligning housing and transportation investments, so that they can be responsive to the needs of regional economies.

 

  • Continued investments into programs such as the Community Development Block and Native American Housing Block Grant.

 

  • Restoring funding for Sustainable Communities grants. Sustainable Communities grants are part of a silo-breaking, inter-agency Partnership for Sustainable Communities with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation that embody the President’s commitment to being a new kind of federal partner to states, regions, and localities.

 

These increases are just a few that will work to aid the housing industry as well as the economy as a whole in 2013. Looking to buy a HUD home, or sell your house?

Spring Cleaning Tips

Posted on by

shutterstock_125010392With April in full swing, it’s time to start thinking about cleaning out those dust bunnies and preparing the house for the hot summer ahead. We know how hard it is to find time during your busy schedule to figure out what needs to be done, so we’ve created a list to help you get your home into tip top shape this spring.

 Make Sure to Organize Your Closets

Organizing your closet is the first step to organizing the rest of your home. Donate unused clothes, and organize the rest by category and by color to save you time and hassle finding the perfect outfit later. This will give your closet an appealing presence, and help simplify your daily routine.

Clean Your Carpets, Counters, and Tile

Over time, the people in your home spill, walk on, and drop things on your floor and counters creating hidden stains and smells. Work to combat these by steam cleaning your carpets, wiping down your counters with antibacterial sprays, and mopping your floors. These are 3 ways to keep you home looking and smelling fresh in no time.

Change-up the Scene

You can make a fast, easy change to your home with bedding, towels, and table linens which create a different mood. Switch things out seasonally, or for a special event, or whenever you want to play with a certain color or pattern.

Reorganize Bookshelves and Cupboards

Start by sorting books by size and subject. Remove and discard any ripped dust jackets unless you think they might have value. Line books in a rhythmic pattern to relieve the monotony of rows. Wipe out cupboards and wash or discard dishes that aren’t used often.

Most important when cleaning your house is to be thorough. Hitting all nooks and crannies will make your house a comfortable place for all to relax for years to come. Some elbow grease, along with these tips, will leave your home fresh and clean, and have you ready for summertime.

Home Investors Help Stabilize the Metro Phoenix Real Estate Market

Posted on by

Just a few years ago, trying to sell your house in Phoenix or one of its suburbs was a nightmare. Home foreclosures and other financial problems triggered by the economic crisis caused a glut of housing on the Valley real estate market. The flood of homes for sale may have been great for the small pool of home buyers at the time, but many would-be home sellers were stuck in an impossible position. Real estate prices tanked across the country, and Phoenix was one of the hardest-hit cities in America.

Fortunately for home sellers, the days of plummeting prices and few buyers in the Phoenix real estate market are over. Investors such as AllHomesAZ.com have been buying up Valley homes and creating a win-win situation for everyone with a stake in Phoenix real estate. Not only do individual homeowners finally have interested buyers, but the demand from investors is stabilizing the local housing market as a whole.

With the economy recovering so slowly and unemployment still in the 8 percent range, many homeowners are still having difficulty making their mortgage payments. Assistance programs from mortgage lenders have improved somewhat, but these programs give lenders quite a bit of discretion as to whom they choose to help. Not everyone who could benefit from refinancing has been able to do so, leaving many area residents still “underwater” on their mortgages, especially those who bought their homes when prices were near their peak in the mid-2000s.

Compounding the problem for many of those who would just as soon sell their homes is that their properties are in poor condition. Financially strapped families who can’t make their high monthly mortgage payments seldom have been able to afford to properly maintain their houses. In the buyer’s market that has existed in Phoenix, a home needed to be in pristine condition to attract interest. Buyers were in a position to be choosy and consider only the very best properties. Home investors, are on the other hand, understand and accommodate the needs of home sellers who are short on cash. Investors typically buy houses “as-is,” and will pay cash for homes that would be virtually impossible to sell to an individual buyer intent on occupying it as soon as possible. Investors have the patience and resources to repair and renovate houses that most individual buyers wouldn’t touch!

If you need to sell your home or rental property fast, contact the Phoenix home buyers at AllHomesAZ.com. We’ll buy almost any house quickly, and for cash, no matter what shape it’s in. The transaction is completed without the need for a real estate agent, mortgage broker or other middlemen, saving you expensive commissions as well as precious time.

We Buy Houses

Posted on by

Living in a house you hate is bad enough, but just try selling one! Most home buyers want nothing to do with a house that’s an eyesore. The plea of “Please buy my house!” is likely to fall on deaf ears if your property badly needs a coat of paint or a layer of stucco, has missing tiles or shingles on the roof, or has a badly cracked driveway or tilted walkways.

unwanted-house-phoenix-azEven if the outside of your house looks good, however, it’s still not marketable if it has an unattractive or out-of-date interior. If your house is in need of serious repairs or upgrades to comply with building codes, any halfway-thorough home inspection will expose those problems, too, and scare away potential buyers.

The good news is that AllHomesAZ.com doesn’t care about any of that – we love to buy houses in any condition, and we really mean it!

Perhaps you’ve avoided putting your house on the market because you think your property is in such poor shape that no one would be interested in it. You may be squeezed between the need to sell your home fast and the realization that a real estate agent wouldn’t want to waste his or her time on trying to sell it for you. The hard truth in the current market is that if your home isn’t in great shape, you may be right. Trying to sell a “problem” home the standard way could prove futile.

You may have even already given some thought to contacting a Phoenix home investor to get out from under the burden of owning your property. Like many others, however, perhaps you’ve been reluctant to follow through with exploring this option because you’re just too embarrassed at the condition of your house. Maybe you’ve thought, “Sure, these guys say they buy’ll houses in any condition, but they’d never want to buy my home.”

If you’re the unwilling owner of an “unsellable” house, you should put those thoughts aside and contact the home investors at AllHomesAZ.com immediately. We’re available 24/7 for a consultation on your home, and we’re interested in looking at it no matter what shape it’s in. AllHomesAZ.com has the resources to offer cash for homes and to fix them up after purchase, so we’ll literally buy your home “as-is.” We’ll make you an offer within 24 hours and complete the home transaction quickly, helping you avoid foreclosure.
