Third Quarter 2010 Market Update

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

Third Quarter 2010 Market Update

The local real estate market in Bullhead City, Fort Mohave and Mohave Valley Arizona continues to bump along toward recovery.  Looking back to the third quarter 2007 we definitely have a brighter picture as third quarter 2010 home sales are up 87%, pending sales up 106% and the inventory of homes for sale is down 49%.  Although the past 12 months of single family homes sales have slowed slightly for 2010, the median sales price appears to be leveling out.  The under $150,000 price range remains the sweet spot as 78% of the single family home sales are in that range.  Average sales price increased to $120,531 up from $110,010 in October.  Days on the market increased to 141 which is not too surprising as short sales claimed 10% of the market during November.  This is good news for sellers trying to avoid foreclosure

We want to thank you for your continued support and referral business you have sent our way.  Without your support and referrals our business would not enjoy the level of success we have.   We wish you and your families a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a prosperous New Year!

New look for local real estate firm

 

By RODD CAYTON/The Daily News
Published: Monday, December 6, 2010 11:32 PM MST

BULLHEAD CITY — The owner of Bullhead City’s Country Ranch GMAC has acquired another residential real estate firm and will give the local operation a new identity and logo, Realtor Petra Fahey said Monday.

Toronto-based Brookfield Residential Property Services has acquired Real Living Network Services; Fahey said the deal was made because Brookfield wanted to strengthen its residential portfolio.

The local outfit’s name will be changed to Real Living Country Ranch, she said, but the firm’s brokers and other staff will remain.

Real Living, Fahey said, is a fresh real estate brand with a strong online presence.

“As our two companies come together, we will take the best from what we have in our existing business and combine it with the best that Real Living has to offer,” she said.

The Web site, www.reallivingcountryranch.com, is expected to be operational by Jan 1., Fahey Said.

She said it will include the ability for customers to save searches, view maps, communicate with their agent, and obtain informational reports on communities, schools and real estate trends.

Fahey said Real Living’s investment in search engine optimization — the process of improving the visibility of a website in search engines — will pay off for sellers through increased exposure.

Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Lake Havasu City Az REDC Auction April Home Sales

Monday evening April 12th REDC held another real estate auction at the River Valley High School. The REDC auction went smoothly as usual with eight Lake Havasu properties; and six Bullhead City Fort Mohave area properties up for auction. One major thing to remember with any of the homes or any other real estate sold at auction is that the buyer is expected to do their due diligence prior to the auction itself. There is NO inspection period after the auction; all properties are sold in ’As Is” condition. They do offer clear title to the properties as well as offer financing on some of the homes available at the auction. There is also a 5% buyers premium added to the winning bid for all real estate sold at REDC auctions.

Here are some highlights of the homes sold at the recent auction;

8707  Sycamore a 4 bedroom 2397 sq. ft. home  in Mohave Valley sold for $117,500 at the auction, it had been listed for $164,900 on the local MLS.

A four plex at 2807 Colibri in Bullhead City listed for $156,900 on the local MLS sold for $137,500 at the Auction.

2988 Camino Del Rio a 3/2 1664 Sq. Ft. town home in Bullhead City listed for $135,000 on the local MLS sold for $120,000 at the auction.

An older 3 bedroom 3097 Sq. Ft. home in Lake Havasu City , which needed some work, listed for $205.900 on the local MLS sold at the auction for only $110,000.

A 3 bedroom home with a pool @ 1540 Sq. Ft. living area in Lake Havasu City listed for $119,900 in the local MLS sold at the auction for only $60,000.

Short Sale Foreclosure Resource Certification

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Short Sale Foreclosure Resource Certification Serving the Bullhead City Fort Mohave Real Estate Market

March 2010 Steve Kuncho  earned the nationally recognized Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource certification. The National Association of REALTORS® offers the SFR certification to REALTORS® who want to help both buyers and sellers navigate these complicated transactions, as demand for professional expertise with distressed sales grows. According to a recent NAR survey, nearly one-third of all existing homes sold recently were either short sales or foreclosures. For many real estate professionals, short sales and foreclosures are the new “traditional” transaction. REALTORS® who have earned the SFR certification know how to help sellers maneuver the complexities of short sales as well as help buyers pursue short sale and foreclosure opportunities. “As leading advocates for homeownership, REALTORS® believe that any family that loses its home to foreclosure is one family too many, but unfortunately, there are situations in which people just cannot afford to keep their homes, and a foreclosure or a short sale results,” said 2009 NAR President Charles McMillan, “Foreclosures and short sales can offer opportunities for home buyers and benefit the larger community, as well, but it’s extremely important to have the help of a real estate professional like a REALTOR® who has earned the SFR certification for these kinds of purchases.” The certification program includes training on how to qualify sellers for short sales, negotiate with lenders, protect buyers, and limit risk, and provides resources to help REALTORS® stay current on national and state specific information as the real estate market for these distressed properties evolves.

Short Selling Help For Your Bullhead City Fort Mohave Home

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

 

Let me start by introducing myself to you. I am Steven Kuncho, a REALTOR® with Country Ranch Real Estate in Bulhead City, Az. Chances are, you or someone you know in the Bullhead City area that is facing the possibility of foreclosure. But you need to understand that you are not alone and we are here to help.

The current U.S. housing market and national financial crisis has caused untold stress and heartache for many American families. Foreclosure is one of the most devastating financial challenges that a family can face and one that many times can be avoided.

A short sale can be an excellent solution for homeowners in the Bullhead City area who need to sell their home, and who owe more on their homes than they are worth. In the past, it was rare for a bank or lender to accept a short sale. Today, however, due to overwhelming market changes, banks and lenders have become much more negotiable when it comes to these transactions.

For homeowners to qualify for a short sale, they must fall into any or all of the following circumstances:

  • Financial Hardship – There is a situation causing you to have trouble affording your mortgage.
  • Monthly Income Shortfall – In other words: “You have more month than money.” A lender will want to see that you cannot afford, or soon will not be able to afford your mortgage.
  • Insolvency – The lender will want to see that you do not have significant liquid assets that would allow you to pay down your mortgage.

 This seems simple enough, but it is a complicated process that takes the expertise of experienced professionals. We are ready to identify all possible options and, when possible, assist in the quick execution of a short sale transaction.

If you have questions or feel you may qualify for a short sale call me today so we can discuss your options.

8 Reasons Why You Should Work With a REALTOR®

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

8 Reasons Why You Should Work With a REALTOR®

Not all real estate practitioners are REALTORS®. The term REALTOR® is a registered trademark that identifies a real estate professional who is a member of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION of REALTORS® and subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics. Here’s why it pays to work with a REALTOR®.

1. Navigate a complicated process. Buying or selling a home usually requires disclosure forms, inspection reports, mortgage documents, insurance policies, deeds, and multipage settlement statements. A knowledgeable expert will help you prepare the best deal, and avoid delays or costly mistakes.

2. Information and opinions. REALTORS® can provide local community information on utilities, zoning, schools, and more. They’ll also be able to provide objective information about each property. A professional will be able to help you answer these two important questions: Will the property provide the environment I want for a home or investment? Second, will the property have resale value when I am ready to sell?

3. Help finding the best property out there. Sometimes the property you are seeking is available but not actively advertised in the market, and it will take some investigation by your REALTOR® to find all available properties.

4. Negotiating skills. There are many negotiating factors, including but not limited to price, financing, terms, date of possession, and inclusion or exclusion of repairs, furnishings, or equipment. In addition, the purchase agreement should provide a period of time for you to complete appropriate inspections and investigations of the property before you are bound to complete the purchase. Your agent can advise you as to which investigations and inspections are recommended or required.

5. Property marketing power. Real estate doesn’t sell due to advertising alone. In fact, a large share of real estate sales comes as the result of a practitioner’s contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends, and family. When a property is marketed with the help of a REALTOR®, you do not have to allow strangers into your home. Your REALTOR® will generally prescreen and accompany qualified prospects through your property.

6. Someone who speaks the language. If you don’t know a CMA from a PUD, you can understand why it’s important to work with a professional who is immersed in the industry and knows the real estate language.

7. Experience. Most people buy and sell only a few homes in a lifetime, usually with quite a few years in between each purchase. Even if you have done it before, laws and regulations change. REALTORS®, on the other hand, handle hundreds of real estate transactions over the course of their career. Having an expert on your side is critical.

8. Objective voice. A home often symbolizes family, rest, and security — it’s not just four walls and a roof. Because of this, homebuying and selling can be an emotional undertaking. And for most people, a home is the biggest purchase they’ll every make. Having a concerned, but objective, third party helps you stay focused on both the emotional and financial issues most important to you. From Realtor.org.
