  • Nationally home sales were up

    Nationally home sales were up

    It’s time!!!  Nationally home sales were up over 5% last month over the previous month and home prices were down over 17% from 1 year ago.  Housing prices and very low interest rates have helped many people decide to go ahead and buy a new home, 2nd home or investment property.  If we have a few more months like this, the good deals will be all but gone. 

     

    Keep in mind that rates are around 5.00% for a 30 year fixed and in some areas home prices are as much as 70% less than where they were at the peak of the market.

  • THE LAKE HAVASU REAL ESTATE MARKET IS WARMING UP!

    THE LAKE HAVASU REAL ESTATE MARKET IS WARMING UP!

    THE LAKE HAVASU REAL ESTATE MARKET IS WARMING UP!

     

    It seems like “Old Times”.  The past few weeks have seen a huge increase in the number of Buyers shopping for Real Estate in Lake Havasu City.  Agents are busy showing property and writing offers. Last week, all but one of the offers I wrote for my buyers were on properties with multiple offers. That tells me that there are a lot of buyers interested in taking advantage of this market.

     

    The highest demand in the Lake Havasu Real Estate market is for REO—Foreclosed—properties.  Many are selling for more than the asking price, some for  as much as 20% higher than asking price.

     

    If you have been waiting for the Lake Havasu Real Estate market to Bottom Out, I think we might be at that point. With this amount of demand, prices should stop declining and start pushing up.

     

    If you have been thinking about buying real estate in Lake Havasu City, now is the time to act!
