"There are a lot of agents out there who talk a big game, but Jamie sets herself apart from the rest by letting her actions speak louder than her words. In a down market, she sold our home in LESS than a month. She was honest and realistic. She hustled and communicated. We didn't have to worry about a thing. We always felt that we were in good hands, and this gave us peace of mind throughout the sales process. Simply put, Jamie gets the job done.""

Hi Mike,
Regarding tax laws, I would defer you to a tax accountant-as everyones tax issues may be different. Regarding closing cost etc, they would be the same for you as they would be for an American buyer. - Tue Oct 7 2008, 20:00
HI Nia,
A standard size (15-16,000 gal) play pool, will run you about $23-27k.
In the Queen Creek Market, if a home does have a pool, it most likely be priced very close to a home without a pool. Typically a home with a pool, only adds $5-7k to a homes value.
So, if you can find a house you like with a pool, a house that you like- that would probably be your best bet. - Tue Sep 30 2008, 11:18
Short sales typically are not a "good" deal, 90% do not close, and it can take 1-3 months, to even get an answer when you make a short sale offer. Additionally, due to the slow response, it is not unheard of for a Short sale to proceed to foreclosure and be sold at auction.
If you want to get a "good" deal you should look more toward the REO/Foreclosure market. Banks typically are motivated and price them very aggressively to sell and many of these homes end up with multiple offers. - Fri Sep 5 2008, 16:08

The price range you are looking, you would be able to finance with an FHA loan which requires 3% down. If you go conventional, most likely you would need 20% down. Prices continue to decline in the Phoenix area and inventory is still high in the areas you are interested in, so our market still favors the buyer, however, much of the inventory is short sales, which can be a lengthy process for the buyer. Not sure how the market in your area is, but usually, price, condition and location sell a home-so if it is priced to high, it won't sell. You may want to speak to a lender- to determine how much you will need for a down payment/closing costs. - Mon Sep 1 2008, 22:41
