Selling Your Bullhead City Fort Mohave Az Home Market Update

Selling Your Bullhead City Fort Mohave Az Home Market Update

2010 has begun and Bullhead City Arizona real estate market continues to move in the right direction for recovery.  Although the sales are remaining strong, we saw the median sales price drop to $102,000 in January for single family homes in Bullhead City, Fort Mohave and Mohave Valley compared to $124,000 January 2009.  Part of the reason for the drop is because there are more first time buyers in the market.  

There were 80 homes sold in January 2010 in the Bullhead City Fort Mohave area compared to the 63 the year before (36 home sales in January 08).  This means the market is coming back but it still has a ways to go.  The number of homes going under contract last month was also up (128) compared to a year before (84). 

The bulks (86%) of the homes sold were under the $150,000 price tag.  That’s the perfect price range to the first time buyers trying to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit.  We expect to see this range heat up even more as we get closer to the April 2010 deadline (to be under contract) and June deadline (to have closed).

 Days on the market remains steady as January average days on the market was 138 compared to January 2010 of 128.  The number of days a home sits on the market before going under contract has improved.  The average last month was 95 compared to the year before of 152.  Keep in mind that the coming tax credit deadline is having a positive impact on the days on market. 

 Bad news, homes price over $150,000 are seeing longer days on the market and fewer sales than homes under$150,000.  As the market continues to recover across the United States we remain hopeful that we will begin to see a return of buyers to Bullhead City Fort Mohave Arizona ready to purchase homes in the higher price ranges.  

February 2010 has started strong.  Our phones are ringing at Country Ranch Real Estate with buyers asking questions about homes on the market in Bullhead City, Fort Mohave and Mohave Valley Arizona.  With buyers searching for homes to take advantage of the tax credit, and the deadline fast approaching, this should rise seller’s hopes that offer they are looking for may be on the way.

Bullhead City Fort Mohave Lake Havasu City Az Foreclosure Homes @ Auction Sale

 Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Lake Havasu City Az Foreclosure Homes @ Auction Sale

There are two major companies that run real estate auctions in the Bullhead City Fort Mohave and Lake Havasu City areas for Foreclosed homes. They are, REDC; auction.com and Hudson and Marshal; hudsonandmarshal.com.. I recently attended the REDC real estate auction locally on February first and will attend the next real estate auction with them on March first. Both of the auction companies web-sites can be challenging to navigate and challenging to find the exact information needed for buyers looking to purchase an auction home. I would recommend spending as much time as you need searching around on each web-site researching as much as you can for all the information that you will need; or just send me a message.

One major thing to remember with any of these homes or properties offered at these auctions is that a buyer is expected to complete his/her due diligence; inspections; prior to the auction. Each property is sold “as is” without any inspection period after the auction unlike a normal re-sale home or foreclosure home sale. Both do offer clear title to each property as well as financing to specified homes that they auction.

The REDC auction went very smoothly with the Bullhead City, Fort Mohave and Lake Havasu  homes being sold at price points below or well below their mls listed prices. All properties at the REDC auction are sold to the highest bidder with NO RESERVE once the opening bid is met. Hudson and Marshal works quite a bit different than REDC and I would would recommend contacting me regarding any property or home that you may be interested in whether it’s to view the home, questions about the auction process, or to run property profiles for a property. For instance;  one Lake Havasu home sold at the auction Monday evening was sold for cash only due to the code violations for additions not permitted with the city. Another instance; A home I was bidding on on behalf of a client in Fort Mohave at Hudson and Marshal had an accepted offer over the reserve price but still showed on their web-site as active and still accepting bids even though they considered it sold. Another instance; You may have seen the black and yellow signs in front of auction homes in the Bullhead City, Fort Mohave and Lake Havasu City areas advertising an open house for certain dates but on those dates the homes were locked up tight with no one around.

If you would like more information or assistance on any upcoming auctions or properties at these auctions feel free to send me a message or give me a call.
