THE FIRST KEY TO UNLOCK THE HOUSING CRISIS

My favorite Arizona Realtor, Craig Peck, sent me this article on what NAR thinks is the first step to turn around this housing market:

NAR believes that the current first time buyer tax credit would provide a more beneficial stimulus if the repayment requirement were eliminated. In addition, the credit should be available for all purchases of a principal residence and not restricted solely to first-time homebuyers. It should also be extended through December 31, 2009.

The link below will explain further and allow you to send a letter or email to your congress representative.

GOOD NEWS ARIZONA REAL ESTATE

Grant MacKenzie Sr of Re/Max Legacy here in Rocky Point sent me this link and this article on the housing market in Arizona:

"The latest National Association of Realtors read on the housing sector
shows an industry still in shambles, but a bright spot in Arizona.

According to the group's third-quarter report, the largest sales gain
among states - 28.3 percent over the second quarter - was in Arizona.
California and Nevada were close behind.

Still, four out of five metropolitan areas recorded lower home prices in
the third quarter from a year earlier, while existing-home sales fell in
32 states from the second quarter."

REAL ESTATE MARKET - GOOD NEWS!

Sip your morning cup a joe and enjoy reading this:

Investors are flocking to bargain homes, an article from azcentral.com, reports that the Phoenix area hasn't seen a wave of real estate investors like this since 2005. However, these are experienced landlords, unlike the many novices we saw during the boom. Savvy home-buyers, especially first-timers, are scooping up the bargains as well. The lowest-priced homes are getting snapped up. While many of the homes fall under the foreclosure umbrella, buyers are "performing the liquidator function, restoring the value of underperforming assets." Experts are hoping that Phoenix will soon reach that tipping point where the number of sales meets or exceeds the number of newly listed homes. http://www.azcentral.com/community/glendale/articles/2008/10/10/20081010gl-swann1011-ON.html

Thanks Craig Peck!
