August Listings and Solds
Our August listings and solds remain strong. As usual, keep an eye on our live listings page to see all updates.
There are so few listings out there that agents are scrambling to pick up sellers. We have listings now because we have a proven track record of working hard for our clients’ interests. That’s a true measure of value.
Beware of offers to sell your property that seem too good to be true. An agent who promises to sell your home for a 1% commission most likely does not give you the quality of work that you deserve, or pushed most of the work off on you.
Beware of “ibuyer” firms that offer to sell your house quickly for cash. You will not be protected by an agent on your side who will make certain you are not provided with price data that undervalues your property, or that will fight against unreasonable inspection requests, or any number of tricks that these companies play on unsuspecting sellers.
Coming up…
Coming this week is a 2br/1ba, 1,008sf property with a beautiful pool. This property is located at about 3rd Ave and Camelback –so within stone’s throw of a whole array of some of the most interesting restaurants, stores and coffee shops in Central Phoenix.
We expect this one to go quickly. The final list price has not yet been announced, but expect it to come on right around $400,000 later this week. The current owner is an architect, who has already prepared plans for an addition off the back of the property, to add a room and a bathroom.
The back yard also backs up to an abandoned alley. So all the owner has to do is petition the city to claim half of that abandoned alley and they will add valuable square footage to the back yard –maybe enough for a guest house.
This is the first of our August listings. So, stay tuned for more.
Sold
We went quickly under contract on a four-bedroom, 2 bath 1,858sf investment property with a pool in Tempe, which was beautifully renovated just a few years ago.
The seller had prepared the property to sell either to investors or buyers who wanted to a plug-and-play (or is that plug-and-live?) property.
Since purchase, the owners have made over $58,000 in improvements, including new exterior siding, pool resurfacing, pool heater and automation, panel installation , replacement of old Orangeburg sewer line, new washer and dryer, new pool pump and back yard landscaping with high quality turf installation. They have also added over $55,000 worth of home furnishings and accessories.
We just closed on this 900sf 2br/2ba condo, across from all the great restaurants at Montebello and 7th St. This property went under contract quickly and above list price. It is nearly impossible to find a property at this price in this market, located next to so many great uptown restaurants and shopping. This shady condo community is stable and well-managed. The property has been partially updated with new flooring and paint, so you can make it your own.
