I was taking a couple from Canada around today so they could zero in on their favorite area. We’ve been to Scottsdale, to Gold Canyon, to the Baseline corridor, to Mesa and to Chandler. They’re looking for a second home and have lots of options and stuff to think about. Two of the new home builders we went to were offering wonderful incentives. One of them was gated and located in Ocotillo (South Chandler area), and the other in East Mesa. Both were great floorplans, and lots of good stuff to lasso in the buyers. Now is such a good time to purchase, but Buyers - be forewarned! You need to go with a Realtor who is familiar with the builders. Trust me on this one!!!

Many homebuilders purchased quantities of land during the frenzied real estate market in 2002-2005; however, many are now struggling and, in fact, some are filing Chapter 11 bankruptcies and others are letting the lenders foreclose on the subdivisions. While it is a great time to buy a home, buyers need to be aware of what is going on as much as possible. I am now of the personal opinon, that a home that is ready to go - an inventory home or a spec home - might be the safest route. With all of the negative news and mortgage company woes, it’s a good time to make sure you have a Realtor.
