SANTA IS COMING!!!! & SO IS REAL LIVING !!!
Real Living Real Estate that is…….
As 2011 approaches, real estate continues to change and Country Ranch is changing too! We are pleased to announce that our parent company, Brookfield Residential Property Services, has acquired Real Living Network Services, and as a result will now rebrand GMAC Real Estate as Real Living.
Real Living (www.realliving.com) is a national, award winning company known for its innovation and customer service. It is a fresh, consumer-focused, real estate brand with an energetic, friendly appeal, and 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; allowing us to continue to deliver services that meet and exceed your expectations.
The rebranding of our company will take a little time, so you will not see any changes immediately. However, I am very excited about this news and wanted to share it with you. I’ll be sure to keep you updated as we transition to the new brand. Keep an eye out for our new signs set to hit the streets of the tri state area in January 2011.
As our valued client, we also want to assure you that we plan on making this transition seamless for you, and that you will not experience any disruptions as a result of the rebranding.
We truly believe this is a positive change that will position our company well and help us to continue to provide you with exceptional customer service.
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!

RIVERFRONT HOMES MARKET UPDATE
RIVERFRONT HOMES MARKET UPDATE
Bullhead City Arizona and the Colorado River has been a destination spot for travelers and vacationers alike. Many family traditions and fond memories have been created here for over the last 30 years. As families grow, the kids grow up, and the economic pressures build, many riverfront owners are faced with selling their beloved homes on the Colorado River in Bullhead City Arizona.
As we continue to live in our countries recession and depressed housing market, what does a seller do when they are faced with the decision to sell in this type of market? Deciding to sell your luxury home under any condition can be a stressful decision and without the luxury of a crystal ball it can be worrisome. As we review the cost per sq ft approach to sales of luxury homes on the Colorado River in Bullhead City Arizona, we can plainly see that prices have not been this low since 2001. If we decide to remove the one distressed sale at 2575 Camino Del Rio as the home is located on the poorest lot in the subdivision and had condition problems, our average cost per sq ft comes up slightly to $171.00. Although the prices are down additional salt in the wound is that the quality of home that is on the market today is generally more upgraded with luxury amenities far surpassing the amenities in the homes selling in 2001.
Additional factors must be taken into consideration when reviewing your options when the offer comes in. Take a look at the price ceiling that we are experiencing. The highest price sale just closed last week for $675,000. The seller’s contract had been slightly higher than what the appraisal came in at. After years of being on the market, the seller decided it was best to cut their losses reduce the price to match the appraisal and move on with their proceeds. It hasn’t been since 2002 that we have had a year where the highest sale did not go over $700,000. Encouraging news is there are currently two riverfront homes pending sale. One of the sales is at 9853 Dike Road, Mohave Valley Arizona. The sale is a short sale and there are 2 offers in. You may know the house, which was built by Shumway Construction, over 6600 sq ft on 1.20 acres with approx 100 feet of sandy beach and private boat launch. The home sold July 2007 for 2.7 million and offers before the bank are half of that. Time will tell how much of a loss the bank will accept to allow this short sale to proceed.
With 7 sales for 2010 and only 2 under contract with this year half over, we can project that 2010 will have the fewest riverfront sales in 10 years. Making the tough decision to sell in today’s market is not easy. By providing you with up to date information and our years of experience, you can be assured that the decisions you make today are based on facts and not opinions. Country Ranch Real Estate continues to stay in step with servicing the Buyers and Sellers on the Colorado River. Over the past 15 years we have been involved with over 55% of all riverfront transactions. Although 2010 may prove to be toughest, Country Ranch Real Estate remains an ally for sellers as we have been involved in over 50% of the sales during this year too.
As year winds down to an end here is the final tally for riverfront home sales in the Bullhead City area. We had a total of 12 completed sales and 3 still pending in escrow; 2 of which should have no problem closing by years end. There are still 34 homes still actively available with a wide range of prices from just under half a million up to the 2.5 million dollar mark. We have seen a few riverfront foreclosures sold this year with just one currently available.

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.
Feel free to call, text or email me with any questions regarding Bullhead City Fort Mohave Real Estate.

Short Sale Foreclosure Resource Certification
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.

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.

Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Lake Havasu City Az REDC Auction March Homes Sales
Monday Evening March first REDC held another auction at the River Valley High School. The REDC auction went very smoothly with eleven Bullhead City, Fort Mohave and Lake Havasu City homes being sold. A 3,000 square foot home on Sundial in Sunridge Estates of Bullhead City sold for only $170,000. A three bed two bath manufactured home in Sun Mission Resort in Bullhead City sold for only $50,000 and was listed in the local mls for $94,900. A beautiful 1067 square foot condo in Roadhaven Marina Condominiums Bullhead City Az sold for only $45,000 a $25,000 discount to its mls asking price. A newer 1558 square foot three bed two bath pool home located in Lake Havasu City sold for only $175,000 at the auction. Another pool home in Lake Havasu City sold for only $100,000. A 1639 square foot home, that needed some work, located in Sun Valley Fort Mohave Az sold for only $70,000.
One major thing to remember with any of these homes or the real estate 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. There is also a 5% buyers premium added to the winning bid of the real estate sold at REDC auctions, so if you have a winning bid of $150,000 remember there will be an additional $7,500 or 5% added to that final purchase price.
