In Glendale & Phoenix, buyers have been grabbing up some incredible deals by attending foreclosure actions.  As reported:

“A Glendale home that sold less than two years ago for $259,000 sold again three months ago for $113,000. A Phoenix home that fetched $190,000 two years ago just went for $45,900. A Queen Creek home sold for nearly $275,000 when it was built in 2005. Last month’s price: $78,000.”

While this makes for great journalism, one thing that we encourage our club members to remember is

WHO CARES WHAT IT SOLD FOR TWO YEARS AGO.

That is totally irrelevant information at this stage and the only thing that counts is current market information.

Before entering into any such transaction, make sure you know the critical pieces of information:

  • Price relative to current market value;
  • Cost to repair;
  • All issues related to title; &
  • Rental amounts (even if you don’t plan to rent);
  • Your plan for exit

In these crazy days of real estate, make sure you don’t get caught up in the excitement but instead, know your plan and stick to it.
