Should you wait to make an offer on a new listing?

You need to look first at what’s going on in the market. As of right now, the Phoenix market is pretty hot. If you’re looking for a home under $350,000 that’s upgraded and priced correctly, the home’s going to sell relatively quickly. If a home just came on the market, you may want to get in there before there’s multiple offers or other interest.
"As a buyer, you’ll probably have to show strength in your offer."

When doing so, you always want to make a fair offer. Today, the market favors the seller a little bit, so a fair offer means you’re probably going to have to give up some things. As a buyer, you’ll probably have to show strength in your offer. For a stronger offer, provide more earnest money, a bigger down payment, or ask for fewer concessions.

We’re happy to answer any questions you have as either a buyer or seller, just give us a call.

Buy Brand New or Resale in Phoenix? Consider the Incentives

Should you buy a new home in Phoenix or purchase an existing resale property?

It’s a question I get a lot and it’s a good one for the Phoenix real estate market. Typically for a brand new home, you’re looking at a cost of about 15% to 20% more than an equally-sized resale home in the same area. Sounds like a pretty expensive premium, right?

On the other hand, a brand new home comes with a warranty, and everything is brand new. The maintenance on that home over the next five to 10 years will be substantially less than a resale home.


Additionally, there are always incentives going on with different builders. Reach out to us and we’ll get you set up with a builder for a great deal on a brand new home. We study the market and we know exactly what specs are out there and which builders are offering which incentives.

If you have any questions, give us a call or send an email. We’d love to help.
