11 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday (October 31) How To Buy A Bank Owned Home
This is a very funny video on the state of the current bank-owned/foreclosure market, and it applies to the greater Phoenix real estate market. And yet, while cartoon funny, it’s sadly an indictment of the insanely ridiculous and out-of-touch asset managers that control the sale of bank owned properties. Where is the Department of Real Estate when you need them the most?
Unreliable Information about The Real Estate Market, by Rob Kosberg
Stories on TV about the national real estate market are misleading to Americans. This is because there is no such thing as a “national real estate market”. Click here for the entire article. It’s a short read, and well worth the time. The greater Phoenix real estate market is a massive market that is fraught with incredibly complex and risky situations. Trust me, every home buyer considering purchasing a home in the Valley of the Sun would be well advised to consult with a local, experienced, professional real estate broker.
