Aviano Solaria Movie!

Phoenix will have low to mid 70's for the next week with full sunshine. Hoping to avoid the crowds at the malls, I took the kids to the RV show at University of Phoenix Stadium where the Cardinals play. Much to the horrer of the sales people and the physical safety of the retired folk walking around, the kids had a blast visiting every one of the assembled RV's. We even had hot dogs and pop right on the floor of the stadium even thought the sod was still outside. A large facility and no monster crowd. On to baking cookies!

The 2010 Aviano solds list has been updated with the type of sale in addition to the full sales history for each close this year. Check it out under Aviano > Spreadsheets > 2010 solds.

I visited a local business recently that had a sign boasting they "screwed the other guy and pass the savings on to you". How would you know your not the other guy?

The short sale Serrantina model at 22011 North 36th Street is now under contract. This was priced at $375K which attracted multiple offers, one was chosen and the price was moved to $400K. My guess is it will go for higher than that when the decision by the lender/investor finall comes down. Therin lies the confusion for buyers on short sales as the list price rarely if ever is some kind of an approved sale price. Initial very attractive asking price will get lots of interest but the end sale price will likely be higher and the decision may be months down the road. And the decision could be the bank will not approve the short sale. Or the bank will approve the short sale at a much higher price than what was agreed upon initially. Very confusing for buyers to say nothing of the countless hours of work for the listing agents. Short sales are not for the faint of heart, those with patience issues or for buyers that have to get a deal done by a certain time. All fingers crossed they get this one done in a timely manner as this is a beautiful home and it would help comps if they can close it north of $400K.

Here is a movie of the normal sale Solaria model at 3941 East Herrera Drive priced at $425K.



2790 sq ft with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and a 2 car garage in a prime location. Sure, you could live on Williams Drive just on the other side of Lockwood but it will cost you $200K more. Check out this small enclave of Cassia Collection homes a stones throw from Wildfire, the Boys and Girls Club, the big park and the community center. Location, Location and Location. Big lot that sides to a cul de sac and your only neighbor is a single story to the South. Serious privacy. And it is a normal sale.

Another normal sale is the Del Oro model at 22204 North 37th Place priced at $619,900. I was in this home 6.8.07 and 4.17.08 when it was a short sale that failed. Current owners bought the home from the bank. And what a nice home this is. Upstairs playroom - a kids dream, 3 kids bedrooms upstairs with 2 sharing a hall bath and the third has it's own full bath. Wood built-ins upstairs for storage. Cultured marble in all secondary bathrooms. Kitchen is fantastic with stainless steel appliances, built-in fridge, slab granite counters, 5 burner gas cooktop, tile backsplash, large pantry and double oven with displaced microwave in a great location. New travertine tile throughout, Omaha pebbles driveway and walkway to the front door. Backs to a greenbelt and pocket park. Wood/iron railing on the stairway, plantation shutter throughout, surround sound wiring, security system, fire suppression sprinklers in the ceiling, soft water loop and a built in bbq in the monster large West facing backyard. Those that prefer a first floor master, this is your home. Make the kids walk the stairs! Master has a slider to the backyard and a larger walk in closet.

4208 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and a straight pull in 3 car garage. This is a nice home.
