Aviano New Listing, Closed Listing
Some recent heroes in our world of real estate. If you can utilize their services I would highly recommend them. And they are:
Daryl Choby at Moldex. 602.370.2166. Think you have mold? Want that suspicious thing under the sink analyzed? Call Daryl. Just like Art the Bug Man only with mold.
Stuart Crawford and his team at V.I.P. Mortgage. A call from me describing a buyer who had the misfortune of calling a lender who was not willing to make things go faster and this guy was off to the races. A loan that was fully approved and ready to go in 14 days was the result. Simply Amazing. If you are looking for someone to help find and DELIVER a loan, call Stuart at 480-776-2954 or scrawford@vipmtginc.com.
A better locksmith you will not find than Matt at Locks Plus. A truly good guy. His number is 480.695.5325.
A new normal sale listing for a Mirasol model at 3825 East Patrick Lane priced at $474,900. Listed as 3563 sq ft but really more like 4300 due to the bonus room over the living/dining room. 5 bedrooms, 4 baths and a 3 car tandem garage. Built 2006, it is close to the community center and Wildfire Elementary. Floorplan
Lot number 1, the model Serrantina at 3911 East Williams Drive was a short sale that just closed for $475K or $181 a sq ft in an all cash deal. All cash deals do not need to appraise. Right next to the community center, this home has 2631 sq ft with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, pool and 2 car garage. Really nicely upgraded and furnished by Toll Brothers being the model and all. The only thing not done was a gas cooktop as this one has electric. Sold by Toll 8.3.06 for $1,050,000. Welcome to our new neighbors! Floorplan
The short sale La Verna at 22103 North 37th Terrace just went pending in MLS.
The short sale Mirador at 23205 North 39th Way also just flipped to pending in MLS. Once in pending status it is usually just a short drive to close of escrow land. All fingers crossed for both of these homes to close.
Over in the Villages, the short sale Piatto model, unit 1097 just closed for $189K in an all cash deal. Piatto and their almost identical twin, the Arrezo, have 3 floors, 1490 sq ft and 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a 2 car garage on 3 levels. Built in 2006 this unit is in building 7.

Over in La Verne, the tightly packed condo community at the bottom of 40th Street, unit 2057 just closed for $158K. 1440 sq ft with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a 2 car garage.
A friend sent me this little parable. Many things fly around the internet but after reading it a few times, I have come to the conclusion that this really does accurately portray what happened to a once beautiful industry we call real estate. Enjoy.
"Heidi is the proprietor of a bar in Detroit.
She realizes that virtually all of her customers are unemployed alcoholics and, as such, can no longer afford to patronize her bar.
To solve this problem, she comes up with a new marketing plan that allows her customers to drink now, but pay later.
Heidi keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers' loans). Word gets around about Heidi's "drink now, pay later" marketing strategy and, as a result, increasing numbers of customers flood into Heidi's bar. Soon she has the largest sales volume for any bar in Detroit.
By providing her customers freedom from immediate payment demands, Heidi gets no resistance when, at regular intervals, she substantially increases her prices for wine and beer, the most consumed beverages.
Consequently, Heidi's gross sales volume increases massively.
A young and dynamic vice-president at Heidi's local bank recognizes that these customer debts constitute valuable future assets and increases Heidi's borrowing limit.
He sees no reason for any undue concern, since he has the debts of the unemployed alcoholics as collateral!!!
At the bank's corporate headquarters, expert traders figure a way to make huge commissions, and transform these customer loans into DRINK BONDS.
These "securities" then are bundled and traded on international securities markets.
Naive investors don't really understand that the securities being sold to them as "AAA Secured Bonds" really are debts of unemployed alcoholics. Nevertheless, the bond prices continuously climb!!!, and the securities soon become the hottest-selling items for some of the nation's leading brokerage houses.
One day, even though the bond prices still are climbing, a risk manager at the original local bank decides that the time has come to demand payment on the debts incurred by Heidi's bar. He so informs Heidi.
Heidi then demands payment from her alcoholic patrons, but being unemployed alcoholics they cannot pay back their drinking debts.
Since Heidi cannot fulfill her loan obligations to the bank she is forced into bankruptcy. The bar closes and Heidi's 11 employees lose their jobs.
Overnight, DRINK BOND prices drop by 90%.
The collapsed bond asset value destroys the bank's liquidity and prevents it from issuing new loans, thus freezing credit and economic activity in the community.
The suppliers of Heidi's bar had granted her generous payment extensions and had invested their firms' pension funds in the BOND securities.
They find they are now faced with having to write off her bad debt and with losing over 90% of the presumed value of the bonds.
Her wine supplier also claims bankruptcy, closing the doors on a family business that had endured for three generations, her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor, who immediately closes the local plant and lays off 150 workers. In addition, the laid-off workers' pension funds and IRA'S all suffer substantial loss in value.
Fortunately though, the bank, the brokerage houses and their respective executives are saved and bailed out by a multibillion dollar no-strings attached cash infusion from the government.
The funds required for this bailout are obtained by new taxes levied on employed, middle-class, nondrinkers who have never been in or heard of Heidi's bar."
