ARIZONA REAL ESTATE

Photos: Starting at top left AZSample9001; then across.

If you were ever considering a purchase / investment in a sunbelt destination as part of your real estate portfolio, now might be the time to check out opportunities in the U.S. southwest. Real estate prices in Arizona, California and Nevada have slid back to or below 2002 levels (pre-boom) and experts suggest there could still be another 10% to 15% slide before things bottom out. It is definitely a Buyers market, thanks to foreclosures and an ever-increasing inventory of bank-owned properties.

BarterChek Trade has representatives in the Greater Phoenix area of Arizona ready to assist members interested in checking out these opportunities. A BarterChek associate is a licensed real estate broker (if required) and a licensed PMC (Property Management). The PMC is important for northern U.S. or Canadian-based buyers who, at least in the short term, will probably be absentee owners most of the year.

The four properties listed herein are examples of properties and pricing in areas deemed acceptable by the BarterChek associates. It represents only a small portion of what is on the market but location, location, as selected by the BarterChek representatives, is the prime consideration. Keep in mind furnishings are an additional cost. In some cases, especially in bank foreclosures, the previous owners might have removed everything that moves: fridge, stove, dishwashers.

Trade$$ involvement in these purchases can range from nothing to reasonable. If the property listed is a FSBO (by owner), a Trade$$ downpayment might be negotiated. If the property is a bank-owned foreclosure, it is probably all cash. However, partial trades could still be possible for expenditures like renovations, furnishings 

The enclosed properties, as mentioned, are only examples. These properties were on the market during the fall of 2009. If interested in pursing these U.S. sunbelt opportunities as an individual or group of 2 or 3, contact your Trade Broker.
