Back on the market as a normal sale is the Blanca model at 22120 North 36th Way. Priced at $630K or $175 for each of the 3590 sq ft. One of the first homes in Aviano to go to the trustee sale after the initial buyer, a very nice guy who was trying to flip it after buying new from Toll, could not get it sold. Timing is everything and 2007 is when the wave of bad mojo hit Aviano home values. So investors bought it at a much reduced price in December of '07 at the trustee sale and sold it quickly for a slim profit. The home was on the market for 118 days in 2010 and the current owner has put a ton of money into it - really nice finishes. The home was priced from $699K to $675K in 2010 before the listing was cancelled. It has the bonus room over the garage and a full bathroom on the first floor, so 3590 sq ft. Floorplan Bird view


The Contemporary elevation Solaria model at 3818 East Crest Lane is new to the market as a lease. Priced at $3550 per month furnished, it has 3000 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, pool and 2 car garage. On a cul de sac, right across the wash from the community center. In the last 6 months there have been 18 single family home rentals in Aviano ranging from $2400 to $3700 a month with a sold price of .86 per sq ft on average. Floorplan Bird view


The next Aviano real estate meeting is 6.1.11 at the community center at 6:30 PM. Free, casual and lasts an hour. Bring your laptop and we will mine that monster database called MLS to see what happened in the last month or so for wherever you would like to look. See you there.
Rumor has it the new school in Fireside will start construction in June. Just a rumor but they better get crackin if they want to open for the 2012-13 school year.
And from DSNews.com: Post-Foreclosure: "Study finds Mortgage-only Defaulters pose less Risk". There are huge numbers of folks out there that are like this and many more to come. I do think in time that it will reshape the whole credit score scene. When we list property for lease there are many, many applicants that have 17 credit accounts and all are paid as agreed except for the mortgage on that last house they walked away from or short sold.
