Why are there so many homes for sale in Anthem, AZ?
369217
Because the builders of the houses sucked.  The first phase of Anthem had houses that were not up to code.  They did however fix the problems by the second phase.  Plus, look at the commute...it sucks.  Move to the Central Corridor and enjoy everything being 20 minutes from home.

I agree with Jessica!!!! And, YES, some of the property on the border is owned by ranchers!! The ILLEGALS cut their fences, and trash their land as they cross into Arizona!!! The Minutemen group are in the process of building a fence, since our government REFUSES to help these ranchers!!!! Let's ALL send a brick to congress!!!

Due to burst.  Real estate in way too many areas is way overpriced, most of it driven by Baby Boomer c**ksuckers who are buying up second homes and overinflating prices.\n\nAs the Boomers retire, they're going to figure out that without viable buyers for their pieces of crap, the prices are going to drop.

Check out the Arizona Daily Star or Tucson Citizen (both have the same ads).  The Dandy Dime, The Tucson Shopper and The Tucson Weekly also have classifieds.\n\nWord of warning--don't go through 'Real Estate Direct'--they are a rip-off--they want money up front, give you a list that they've given to everyone else who has paid them--and the houses are usually already rented when you get there.

I am currently looking for my next investment property & have just returned from Bundy.  They have a new land estate called Branyan Park, depending on your price range, they have house & land packages from $250,000!  If you wanted to be a little closer to Noosa / Brisbane way then you may want to look at what's available at Cooloola Sands.

My parents had 2 lots in the same general area.  We always got postcards from land prospectors wanting to buy the land.  Also, building companies are looking to buy lots in Cape Coral.  Contact Holiday Builders.  They don't offer as much as most people would, but it is a quick sell.\n\nBy the way, land there is skyrocketing.  It's a good investement if you can hang onto it.

Pheonix (and all of Arizona) is one of the most rapidly growing parts of the country and so new schools are popping up all the time.  Arizona is also one of the most tight-fisted states and despite children and education often being used as a political footballs, it is generally poorly funded (ie: teacher salaries and supporting programs) compared to most states.  \n\nThe city is growing rapidly in area too (sprawl and transportation becoming real problems) with entire suburbs of 10,000+ houses being built from scratch almost overnight in areas that used to be deserts or rural farms.  This rapid building used to result in low home prices compared to most big cities, but housing prices have actually sky-rocketed the last couple years.  Good deals can still be found in the new pop-up developments out on the fringes of the city, but don't expect to find a decent family home in the more central areas for less than $200K.\n\nAs for the city itself... rapid growth has also led to mass-produced cookie-cutter approach to development where most of the stores and resturants are big chains and every corner and housing development looks the same.  Unlike the row houses of San Francisco or the all night diners of New York, Phoenix does not really have any style or local institutions that are uniquely its own... everything (including most of the population) came from somewhere else.  \n\nThe summers are very hot (110+), but not very humid, which makes it much more bearable than it sounds.  Winters are very mild and spring and fall are great.  While few people would consider Phoenix one of the great cities of the world, the rest of the state has some truely world-class beauty and historic/cultural treasures (Grand Canyon, Sedona, Lake Powell).

Have you looked at El Paso, TX? It is one of the most affordable real estate markets in the nation. The weather is excellent. You have Mexico just down the street (cheap shopping, colorful clothes, culture).\nIt is centrally located (6 hours by car from Phoenix, 11 from LA, 11 from Dallas).

well there are a couple different ways. Contact your local real estate broker and ask if there are any foreclosures being sold. Also look for public foreclosure auctions in your local newpapers.

The waterfront area is booming right now. River Road from the Lincoln Tunnel to the GWB is rapidly expanding as we speak. Real Estate on River Road is priced to attract affluent qualified buyers so you stand a good chance of success in this area.\nHoboken is already saturated with Realtors & not much else is being built so go for the River Road area-there are not many realtors in that area.

Unfortunately POP is looking at a blogger from San Francisco. In the Phoenix area we are seeing an influx of around 500 families per month.  What we are experiencing is a market correction.  Yes, prices have increased at an alarming rate over the last couple of years, and yes there are many people who have taken out adjustable rate mortgages, but we shall see what we shall see.\n\nWhat I can tell you for sure is that as of this very second there are 42,728 active listings in the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service.  Which is about a tenfold increase from two years ago but the average price on a 3 bed 2 bath home in the active listings is $459,614 with an average of 75 days on the market. So the bottom hasn’t fallen out yet.  I think that prices may continue to drop as the temperature goes up. \n\nOverall I think the best advice that I can give you is don’t panic.
