Subject: Paradise Valley MarketWatch - 15 New Listings, Good News on Mortgage Reform, More on Jumbo Rates

Real estate never sleeps, even through Labor
Day weekend. Here's the latest news:

1. Another off MLS deal will hit the market
imminently. It's on a golf course, the seller
was remodeling and ran out of money. Hence
there should be some "meat on the bone" in
a market where bargains are a needle in a
haystack. It will be a cash deal that sells quickly,
so quickly in fact I won't have a chance to
write about it here once it can be shown.
If you would like details, please reply to this
email or call me at (480) 442-7325.

2. A giant mortgage disaster has been
averted. The federal government in its
infinite wisdom had been trying to "reform"
the mortgage market to a point that would
have shut out the majority of Americans from
ever getting a mortgage. 2 years of lobbying
from the National Association of Realtors and
we finally have a sane version of the Qualified
Residential Mortgage rule. For a summary,
please click here.

3. Luxury home sales continue their strength,
despite rising interest rates according to
the Wall Street Journal. This national trend is
certainly echoed here in Paradise Valley with
substantial activity despite rising rates, despite
rising prices per square foot even for older homes,
and despite the heat which usually creates a
seasonal slowdown. For the full story, please

Closings
There were almost $12 million in closed single
family homes last week, at an average price
of just under $1.5 million. The average sale
price per square foot was $320, with one home
changing hands at $528. Another strong week
with little sign of the usual summer doldrums. 

New Listings
15 new listings this week with a wide range
from teardowns to brand new construction.

Below are two that are worth seeing sooner
than later:

Remodeled Family Home on Large Lot
This home represents a value, as it's over
4,300 square feet of remodeled interior
space on a lot almost 1.5 acres -- for under
$1.7 million. 4 car garage, lovely kitchen,
pool, large grassy area in yard and covered
patios. I suspect this will sell quickly.

New Build in Guard Gated Community
Located in the prestigious Judson community,
this superbly furnished new build has
6 bedrooms, a 4 car garage, pool, and sits
on an oversize lot of about 1.25 acres. 
Offered at just under $4 million.
