Lots of twists and turns in the market and significant changes due to foreclosures and short sales. It has taken all the knowledge gained from 30+ years experience and a massive number of continuing education classes to understand this whacked out market and keep our clients safe.</p>
<p>Just when we have something frustrate us beyond endurance, usually a lender behaving badly, we have something wonderful happen like this email…</p>
<blockquote><p>Sam and I just want you to know that we really appreciate what great realtors you are.  We are currently purchasing a home here in Fort Collins, CO.  We went with a realtor that was highly recommended by several friends.  Let&#8217;s just say, he does not even come close to providing the quality of service that you did.  Sam and I feel like we are navigating this purchase on our own.  So, we just wanted to say &#8220;Thank you!&#8221;  If you ever need any references etc&#8230;, never hesitate to call on us.</p></blockquote>
<p>or this <a href="http://www.zillow.com/profile/TheUrbanTeam/Reviews/">testimonial a client posted on Zillow.com</a></p>
<blockquote><p>We first dealt with the Urban team in 2006. They were the selling agents on a home we purchased, and were helpful even though they were representing the sellers.<br />
We decided to use them as our agents for a purchase earlier this year and the decision was an excellent one.</p>
<p>We primarily dealt with Gene Urban as the home was near where he lived. Gene was extremely thoughtful and thorough every step of the way. We were purchasing a short sale and he was able to sniff out the &#8220;questionable&#8221; behavior that the listing agent and title company were running, and saved us thousands of dollars in the process. He has continued to be involved after the sale with matters involving the home, including recommending excellent contractors and helping us with home warranty service calls. I highly recommend the Urban team.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://urbanconnectionrealty.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/phoenix-real-estate-bidding-wars.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="phoenix real estate bidding wars" src="http://urbanconnectionrealty.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/phoenix-real-estate-bidding-wars_thumb.jpg" alt="phoenix real estate bidding wars" width="304" height="241" align="right" border="0" /></a>It is always an honor when the press turns to us for answers to real estate questions. Yesterday I got a call from Melissa Blasius with Channel 12 News to talk about the rumor of bidding wars happening in real estate.</p>
<p>Melissa and her cameraman showed up and we chatted about the current state of the Phoenix area real estate market. The truth is we are seeing lots of multiple offers come in on homes and condos including higher priced homes.</p>
<p>For over a year we’ve been seeing a lot of competition on the low price side, say under $125,000. Investors flocked to the Phoenix area looking for rental property deals and bought nearly 40% of all greater Phoenix homes sold in 2011. Now we are seeing interest in higher priced homes.</p>
<h4>Why is the Phoenix area real estate market so competitive now?</h4>
<p>Melissa asked me if I had any ideas of why we are seeing so much competition today. The answer is pretty simple and you already know if you read our monthly real estate market report. There is an extremely low number of homes and condos for sale in the Phoenix area.  Let’s look at some of the numbers I shared with Ms. Blasius:</p>
<ul>
<li>Homes for Sale in Phoenix:  About 2300.</li>
<li>Scottsdale Homes for Sale: 1776</li>
<li>Homes to be had in Glendale: 529</li>
<li>3 bedroom, 2 bath homes in Phoenix: about 1250. (In general 3 bed, 2 bath homes are the most sought after)</li>
</ul>
<p>Those numbers may not mean too much if you don’t follow real estate market trends. In general, they are down about 70% from more normal numbers.  I find that relating population numbers helps a bit. Phoenix has a population of about 1.5 million and only 2300 homes for sale. Scottsdale and Glendale have populations in the 220,000 range and not many houses to choose from, especially in Glendale.  Based on what you see above, does it surprise you we are seeing multiple offers and bidding wars?</p>
<p>In case you want to see the news piece that aired on February 3, 2012 I’ve embedded a link below.  Hope you enjoy.</p>

There is simply something special about <strong>Portland Place</strong>. We feel this is due in large part to the incredible design team at Davis Architects.</p>
<p>Davis is a multi-city firm with offices in Tempe, AZ. Their work, exemplified at Portland Place, is something special and timeless. This is seen in other Davis projects like The Buttes Resort, Westgate in Glendale and the Hayden Ferry Lakeside residential community on Tempe Town Lake.</p>
<p>As you turn west on Portland off Central Avenue you are greeted by a tree lined street with a large grassy center island, walkways and art scape.  On your right is Portland Place with its mix of brownstone, metal and glass giving off a definite Frank Lloyd Wright feel.</p>
<p>The complex has a welcoming courtyard with a contemporary lobby area where you will find the fitness center, mail room and elevators. You’ll often see residents, many with dogs,  just hanging out in the lobby shooting the breeze with neighbors; It is a friendly place.</p>
<p>The condo units are varied in floor plan, materials and design.  The mix of cabinet styles/woods, flooring and accents in the various homes is unusual since many developers during the 2006 era had a what-you-see-is-what-you-get mentality. The result at Portland Place is an anti-cookie-cutter feel.</p>
<p><a href="http://urbanconnectionrealty.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/portland-place-pool-3.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="portland place pool 3" src="http://urbanconnectionrealty.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/portland-place-pool-3_thumb.jpg" alt="portland place pool 3" width="244" height="164" align="left" border="0" /></a>The rooftop amenities level is something special. Like many condos, they have a cooking area and pool, yet its how Davis Architects designed the space that’s unusual.  The entire area flows and the pool is a work of art you just have to see, especially at sunset.</p>
<p>As you can tell, we think Portland Place is pretty special, so do the homeowners we’ve talk with. They like how close it is to light rail, the arts district, great dining and the Urban Experience of a downtown region. Plus everyone talks about how congenial and sociable the condo owners are.</p>
<p>Below you’ll find bit more information about Portland Place condos including a virtual tour of the place and a list of units currently for sale. If there is one you’d like to see, we can help make it happen. Just call us at 602-234-5777, toss an email to <a href="mailto:Gene@UrbanTeamAZ.com">Gene@UrbanTeamAZ.com</a> or use the “Schedule a Showing” button on the listing you’d like to see.</p>

The panel members included Scott Drucker, a short sale/real estate attorney from Mack, Drucker and Watson, Eric Viavattene, a wickedly smart CPA from Dobbins Financial and Gerry Russell, the managing broker with Realty Executives Phoenix. Once again we were reminded how important it is to <strong>seek BOTH legal and tax advice when considering a short sale or foreclosure in Phoenix, AZ.</strong> Yes, we did the bold face thing. We really do mean this.</p>
<p>There is much confusion about the legal and tax implications of either a short sale or foreclosure. We’ve taken well over 100 hours of continuing education and specialty seminars covering short sales/foreclosure and every time we leave more knowledgeable, yet daunted by the complexities involved. The main area of confusion is the difference between the legal and tax implications. It is simply like night and day.</p>
<p>Just so you know, we are not going to attempt to explain the differences between the legal side and tax/IRS during a short sale or foreclosure in this article.. There are simply too many variables to cover, and we are not attorneys or tax professionals. That said, below are a few things both Eric and Scott mentioned during the discussion we want to pass on.</p>
<ul>
<li>Short sales often offer more protection to the homeowner than a foreclosure. This is not an absolute though and should be explored by consulting both a tax and legal pro.</li>
<li>The Arizona Anti-Deficiency laws do not always protect a homeowner from IRS liabilities during a short sale or foreclosure. The anti-deficiency laws offer legal protection in specific circumstances, yet may not guard against an IRS obligation.</li>
<li>Insolvency is an IRS protection mechanism some may benefit using in conjunction with a short sale or foreclosure. However, you have to create a very strong and proper paper trail.</li>
<li>If going into foreclosure, many will benefit by having an appraisal performed prior to the trustee sale.</li>
<li>If you are considering bankruptcy along with a foreclosure or short sale, make sure and work with a great bankruptcy attorney and tax professional before you do anything. If you do things in the wrong order you may find yourself at risk.</li>
<li>If you have done a short sale and received a 1099 from the lender, don’t ignore it. Seek a qualified tax professional to insure it is reported properly to the IRS.</li>
</ul>
<p>This is just a short list of the many items that came up during the 1.5 hour panel discussion. The bottom line reminder to us as Realtors is simple: Strongly advise our clients to seek professional counsel. This has always been our policy, yet it is good to be reminded.</p>
<p>You may be asking yourself how much consultation cost. We can’t speak for all attorneys and tax professionals, yet Scott and Eric shared their fees with us.</p>
<p>Mack, Drucker and Watson will sit with you, go over your situation and offer options for a mere $250.00. The folds at Dobbins Financial will review your circumstances and offer advice for $195.00. Thus, for under $500.00 you can be well informed BEFORE making a decision. To us that is cheap insurance.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">AN IMPORTANT NOTE:</span></strong> Quality advice is the result of good information. Make sure you gather any and all loan documents and financial statements before meeting with your legal and tax counsel. We’ve read about people who forgot to <em>mention</em> they had refinanced their home or taken cash out in a home equity line and found themselves in dire straights later on.</p>
<h5 align="center"><span style="color: #0000ff;">CONCLUSIONS ABOUT SEEKING LEGAL AND TAX ADVICE PRIOR TO A SHORT SALE OR FORECLOUSRE:</span></h5>
<p>There is simply no way most homeowners can proceed with a short sale or foreclosure on there own. The IRS tax code is miles long and the legal side of the equation is a moving target based on new rulings and changing laws. Your long term safely and happiness is worth a few hundred bucks.</p>
<p>If you would like contact information for Scott, Eric or one of the other professionals we’ve met along the way. please visit our page on the topic, the link is below:</p>

Actually it’s been pretty wild throughout Maricopa Country. You may have heard that there aren’t a lot of homes for people to buy these days. We’ve been talking about that very fact since September.</p>
<p>Let’s take a look at some of the home and condo sales numbers we found on ARMLS today and/or provided by our friend Mike Orr of the Cromford Report. Just as a FYI, this does not include homes that were bought at the court house steps, AKA Trustee Sales.</p>
<ul>
<li>Number of single family homes for sale in Maricopa County:  <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">11,674</span>. <em><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: x-small;">According to ARMLS we had 35,276 homes for sale this time last year.</span></em></li>
<li>Number of single family homes for sale in Phoenix, AZ: <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">2338</span>. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: x-small;"><em>This is only 2338 homes for sale in all of Phoenix where we have a population in the 1.5 million range. </em></span></li>
<li>Number of single family homes for sale in Scottsdale, AZ:  <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">1772</span>. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: x-small;"><em>Scottsdale only has about a quarter of a million people, still not many homes to choose from.</em></span></li>
<li>Condos for Sale in Maricopa County: <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">2645</span>. <em><span style="color: #0000ff;">We had about two times that amount in January 2011. </span></em></li>
<li>Condos, Townhouses and Lofts for Sale in Phoenix: <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">671</span></li>
<li>Hottest Zip Codes in Phoenix : <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">85054, 85037, 85019, 85027, 85035, 85031, 85033, 85052, 85017</span> <em><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: x-small;">(Based on Cromford Report Stats)</span></em></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>THE REAL ESTATE AND HOME SALES NUMBERS IN DOWNTOWN PHOENIX: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Number of single family homes for sale: <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">127</span></li>
<li>Number of condos/townhouse/loft for sale: <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">87</span></li>
<li>Number of homes under contract:  <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">142</span></li>
<li>Humber of condos under contract: <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">65</span></li>
<li>How many homes and condo/TH/lofts were sold in January 2012: <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">26</span>. <em><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: x-small;">Twenty six is a small number, yet when the supply is low so the sales numbers follow.</span></em></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-size: x-small;">As you can see, the supply of homes throughout greater Phoenix is rather squat. In fact, we have not seen such low numbers since the frenzy of 2005-2006. The result is a large demand, small supply resulting in home values finally seeing a significant upswing. In face, Mike Orr tells up home prices jumped several percent in December alone. Here is what he said in his mid-January report to the good folks at Fidelity National Title, AZ.:</span></p>
<blockquote><p>We now have fewer than 4,000 active listings in Phoenix so supply is getting exceptionally tight, especially as one third of these already have a contract waiting for short sale approval from the lender(s) . The low supply is finally resulting in price increases. The monthly median sales price has jumped to $99,000, up nearly 9% in one month and 18% higher than 12 months ago. The change in the sales price per sq.ft. is much more modest &#8211; up 0.9% in 1 month but is now 7% higher than last year at this time. The monthly sales rate was up 17% in December from November, but pending sales have fallen back 9 .2%, so January&#8217;s sales are likely to be considerably lower. The main reason for the sharp jump in the median sales price is the decline in REO sales from 36% to 28% . With foreclosure notices down 19% in December from November, we see REOs becoming much less significant in 2012. The areas with the lowest inventory relative to demand include 85054, 85037, 85019, 85027, 85035, 85031, 85033,85053 and 850 17. The relatively expensive 85012, 85016 and 85018 have adequate supply, but are still below normal.</p>

<h5 align="center"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Our Conclusions About the Downtown, North Central </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">and</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Greater Phoenix Real Estate Market, January 2012.</span></h5>
<p>It is clearly obvious that the market has taken a turn for the positive. I should say this is good news for those selling a home, condo or loft. If you are buying real estate, it may be a frustrating time.</p>
<p>The significant reduction in homes and condos for sale throughout greater Phoenix is causing some bidding wars for buyers. In our own practice we’ve been seeing multiple offers coming in on properties. One of our recent listings had 4 offers in the first 2 days and brother Ron placed on offer on a home this past Friday and the listing agent said she stopped taking offers late Saturday when she had over a dozen.</p>
<p>We believe homes prices in the $350,000 and under range are going to sell well over the next 4-6 months, especially those that are in good to great condition. If you’ve been waiting to put your home on the market, you may want to get your ducks in a row. Those whose homes are well maintained and properly staged will likely fetch good numbers.</p>
<p>If you are marginally upside down, less than 15%, you’ll want to keep an eye on the market. You may find you are in a much better position by late Spring. If you have questions about short sales, we have an entire section devoted to the subject on our site.  <a href="http://urbanconnectionrealty.com/short-sale-help-information-in-downtown-and-north-central-phoenix-az/">Short Sale Information from the Urban Team.</a> In addition, we are happy to perform a value analysis so you know approximately what your place is worth.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Our Real Estate and Housing Market Predictions for the Next Three Months</strong></span></p>
<p>We expect to see very little change in the supply/demand part of the Phoenix real estate market. Foreclosures continue to dwindle downward so we don’t expect a glut of homes to appear. We believe there will be an increase in the number of short sales as people take advantage of the bank/government incentives, especially protection from IRS taxes that is due to expire at the end of 2012.</p>
<p>We encourage people who are significantly upside down and considering a short sale to seek legal/tax/Realtor advice before the summer begins. If a short sale is in your best interest, you’ll want to move forward before the <a href="http://www.short-sale-phoenix.com/tax-consequences-of-a-short-sale.html">IRS tax protection provided in the 2007 debt relief</a> act expires.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Downtown Phoenix Real Estate Wrap-up</strong></span></p>
<p>We believe the downtown real estate market, in general, is going to perform well in the next 2 quarters, even condos. As you saw in the numbers section of the article, there are only about 200 properties on the market total. Since downtown Phoenix has the highest employment and job growth numbers in the region, we expect an increase in demand for homes in Phoenix’s core. The only area we still are seeing some distress is the 85006 zip code where 51% of the listings are distressed sales foreclosure or short sales.  Since distressed properties tend to hold down home values, we are a little hesitant. One other item of note is the upswing in listings at <a href="http://urbanconnectionrealty.com/2011/11/regency-house-condominiums-downtown-phoenix-az-information-and-news/">Regency House</a>. Looks like with the end of Phase 1 construction many people are hoping to capitalize on renewed interest in the property.</p>

Below you will find a complete and up-to-date list of condos on the market at Portland Place.</p>
<p><a href="http://urbanconnectionrealty.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/portland-place-pool.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="portland place pool" src="http://urbanconnectionrealty.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/portland-place-pool_thumb.jpg" alt="portland place pool" width="202" height="152" align="left" border="0" /></a>We sincerely like Portland Place. The design just feel good from the moment you enter the community at Central and Portland to time you tour one of the homes. The street-scape is warm and welcoming with more trees than most modern developments. The mix of wood, metal, glass and brick is both contemporary and sustaining. We believe Portland Place looks as good today as when it opened its doors in 2007 and will still look fresh in 2020.</p>
<p>We have to mention the roof top pool too. The picture says more than our words can. Just think things like margarita, or a Four Peak ale. Enough said.</p>
<p>Portland Place feature 54 condo homes. We are seeing more enter the marketplace as we begin the new year. Many, however, are short sales. This is not a problem for us, we’ve been working with short sales for about 4 years now. The reason is simple, most people bought their place in 2007, the top of the real estate market. They are upside down today and many can only sell using the short sale process. Just wanted to give you a heads up.</p>
<p>If you have questions or are thinking you might just want someone to help you buy or sell a place in downtown or midtown Phoenix, we’d be honored to be considered.</p>

The 40 one and two story residential lofts caught the eye of many looking for a true urban experience. The Urban Team has the latest information on lofts and condos available at Artisan Lofts on Osborn for the person like you interested in buying a loft, condo or home in downtown Phoenix, AZ.</p>
<p>There are only 40 units in this award winning loft community, so places do not come up often. That is why we offer information that is updated daily and provided by ARMLS, the same data service we use as professional Realtors.  Below is a list of the lofts units currently on the market for sale or rent at Artisan on Osborn. When you click on a listing you’ll get a full page of information about the loft for sale at Artisan on Osborn including pictures, walk score, loft information and more.</p>
<p>A little FYI about Artisan Lofts on Osborn. Since the community was built in 2000-2001 we are finding some of the units feel a bit tired. The nice thing about lofts is they are mostly space. Updating can often be achieved with paint and art although some of the flooring and bath rooms we’ve seen need some TLC.</p>
<p>If you need more information, have a question or need a pro to help you, please know we are honored to help. We can be reached at 602-234-5777 or <a href="mailto:Gene@UrbanTeamAZ.com">Gene@UrbanTeamAZ.com</a></p>
