Fireside at Desert Ridge
Currently in Fireside there are 10 active listings with only a couple on the high end of the pricing spectrum. Lets take a look at the three that are priced below $400K:
The Malachite model at 3979 East Cat Balue Drive is priced at $295K and has 1875 sq ft with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a 2 car garage. Built in 2008 it is the largest of the Eternal Series floorplans. I like these homes very much as they really are homes and do not have a common wall with anyone. A small outdoor patio is attached. Two floors and the garage is split but in a cool, constructive way. Floorplan
Next up is a fairly rare bird; the Brisote Model in the Triplex condominiums at 3862 East Cat Balue Drive. Priced at $319,900 for 1941 sq ft with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a 2 car garage. Each of the 27 buildings in this area of Fireside has 3 models: Brisote at 1941 sq ft, Bora at 2275 and Santa Ana at 2405. Being condos and all, they do share a common wall with a neighbor. Floorplan
Last is another Triplex model, the Bora at 2275 sq ft with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a 2 car garage. 3878 East Cat Balue Drive. Built in 2009 these Triplex homes have a relatively spacious outdoor patio and share the same amenities of the neighborhood as the other models and Series. Great community center and walking paths. Floorplan
All three are normal sales. If you would like to see them give me a call.
Interest rate insight from Stuart Crawford:
Last week's economic news contained very few surprises. Fed Chief Bernanke gave no indication of policy changes and President Obama's jobs package matched expectations. As a result, mortgage rates ended the week with little change, remaining at historically low levels.
The basic issue confronting the US economy is slow economic growth with high unemployment. Both Fed officials and lawmakers would like to boost economic growth, but the challenge is figuring out how to accomplish this. Thursday, Fed Chief Bernanke stated that the Fed will consider additional stimulus at its next meeting on September 21st, but he gave no indication whether the Fed will take action. The consensus view is that additional monetary stimulus from the Fed would have a limited impact on the economy. Fed officials are deeply divided about whether to ease policy to help as much as possible, or whether the negative consequences in terms of higher future inflation and financial market distortions are too high a price to pay down the road. This week alone, two Fed officials publicly stated that monetary policy has little ability to help the job market under current economic conditions, while another official came out strongly in favor of additional monetary stimulus to lower the unemployment rate. In any case, the next Fed meeting may be a very significant event for mortgage rates.
Lawmakers are also faced with the difficult task of weighing the costs and benefits of different programs to lift the economy. On Thursday, President Obama proposed a $447 billion package of tax cuts and new spending to stimulate the economy and create jobs. The debate next moves to Congress. The government has spent an enormous amount of money over the last few years on stimulus programs, and analysts disagree about their effectiveness. Given the high level of government debt, there is greater resistance now to spending more money for uncertain results.
The most significant economic data this week will be the monthly inflation reports. The Producer Price Index (PPI) focuses on the increase in prices of "intermediate" goods used by companies to produce finished products and will come out on Wednesday. The Consumer Price Index (CPI), the most closely watched monthly inflation report, will come out on Thursday. CPI looks at the price change for those finished goods which are sold to consumers. In addition, Retail Sales will be released on Wednesday. Retail Sales account for about 70% of economic activity.
