It's been a crazy 6 months... I have learned quite a lot in these last months with respect to short sales, bank owed homes and the current market in general. Short sales seem to be moving faster... sometimes. Bank owned properties tend to give you a "smoother transaction"... sometimes. There are good old normal sales out there... in some areas. Homes are priced correctly... most of the time. What am I trying to say? A recent instructor said it best. The only consistancy in today's market is the inconsistancy in today's market. Whatever your neighbor has said about their transaction is true, but for only their transaction. You can't assume that the same will be true for your purchase or your short sale... Even if it is the same bank... every transaction is different. How do you prepare yourself for your next purchase or sale? Consult a Realtor (me :), consult your tax advisor, and a lot of times you even want to talk with a lawyer too. We are successfully buying and selling homes in AZ... you just need to do a little more homework and work with helpful professionals. Call me with any questions or concerns!!
Have a good one.
