SEDONA RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE STARTS TO REBOUND

Statistically, we hit bottom on January of 09 with a price point of $341,500. Our solds are now averaging around $430,000. And we have more pending sales now, then we had at our all time high of May 05. 1/2 of those homes currently under contract are either a foreclosure or a short sale - which will continue to drive out market downward. Of course alot of the homes currently Buyer's are taking advantage of our low prices, great interest rates, and realizing that this is the time to BUY!

Sedona Real Estate - Land is for the Buyer's Taking

Sedona Real Estate - Land is for the Buyer's taking!

The Sedona AZ Real Estate Market is seeing a strong buyer's market in the Vacant Land Arena. Currently there is a 7 year supply of vacant land on the market. What does that mean? It means that there is such an oversupply of land on the market, with such few buyers, that given at how slow the land sales are occuring, it will take 7 years to move all our current listings. So far, the median sold price of Sedona Land this year is at -$225,000. The same price it was in 2004! There have been only 9 land sales this year! So if you have always wanted to build your dream home in Sedona, now would be the time to jump into the Land Arena. There are reputable lender's out there - who will lend on vacant land. A buyer will have to put down around 20% to 25% - put then the rates are pretty good. And with all this dirt on the market - in many cases the seller's will carry the note. To discuss purchasing Sedona AZ land, I am available by cell at 800-975-5943, web - www.barbarabaker.com, and email at barbara@barbarabaker.com. You can follow me on twitter, facebook, or Linkedin.
