Good morning,

I agree with you that you may want to rent or spend time here to find an area that is best for you before you buy. There are many different areas and amenities to choose from depending on your lifestyle.

Let me know if you would like to meet when you are in town, by phone or by e-mail. There are many ways to introduce you to Arizona.

Have a great day,

Phillip,

This does seem high, however is a great place to spend the winter! There are many other homes available in the valley that are great locations for much less!

Have you considered other areas? Several of my buyers are looking at Anthem! That is if you do not have to transit to Phoenix every day for employment! Very new clean community with many amenities!

Feel free to contact me if you would like some available listings!

Hi Phillip
How are you? Thank you for your question. After a quick search of the area and not having actully seen the property you are probably correct. The property is listed at the high end. There are some other homes available in this same area. I would be more than happy to email them to you. You may reach me by either phone at 623-215-5276 or email at mimilazar@cox.net for any other questions you may have. Looking forward to your call. Mimi

You should be working with a buyer agent who can review recent comparable sales to see if the asking price is reasonable, and help you determine a fair offer. If you are paying cash, you should require an appraisal contingency after acceptance to confirm you are not paying too much. If borrowing, your lender will require an appraisal to produce a value that is in line with the purchase price. In both cases, you can cancel if the appraisal is not in line with purchase price (assuming you are using the standard AAR purchase contract with these contingencies spelled out).

Yes, if you are not sure this is the right area for you, then renting for awhile may be best.
