Updated foreclosures in DC Ranch and Silverleaf, WOW!!!!

www.NorthScottsdaleForeclosures.com

As I go through my database on a daily basis and I look at the number of calls and email I receive regrding DC Ranch Foreclosures and Silverleaf Foreclosure homes, I can't believe the amount!!!!!! LET ME CLARIFY.....I can't believe the LACK OF INVENTORY!!!!! 5 ACTIVE HOMES in DC RANCH AND SILVERLEAF TOTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is more important now more than ever to get on my foreclosure list! You have to be ready to pull the trigger and have financing or letters from your financial institution ready to go before submitting an offer! If the market in this area is at the levels it is at now, what do you think the market will look like in 5 years from now???? I honestly believe that this area is about as SAFE as an investment in the LONG TERM as it gets! Buy now and hold and I would bet my career on it (barring major deterioration of our entire economy as a whole)

Seriously, if you want a great investment, email me and especially my Canadians! Your dollar is up 7% from 2 months ago and any Canadian buying in Arizona should be really considering making the leap!

Here are the DC Ranch Foreclosures and Silverleaf foreclosures and Bank Owned home as of July 21, 2009

Keep in mind these are everything from the smallest condos to multi-million dollar Silverleaf lots!

North Scottsdale Unified School District, North Scottsdale Schools....

What are the best schools in North Scottsdale? What are the schools in North Scottsdale? Are there Private Schools in North Scottsdale? Religous schools in North Scottsdale? What are the boundries for the schools? These are just some of the questions many of my clients inevitably ask when moving to North Scottsdale, so I thought I would post a blog about the North Scottsdale Elementary, Middle and High Schools. As a proud parent of 3 young boys (Yes it is a lot of work but obviously very fun), I GET WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU!!! If you don't have kids, it often flies over the radar... Fortunately, we have friends in all the schools and will happily give you our take on the schools, but please remember, it is our take! The nice thing about schools in North Scottsdale is the AIMS scores and ALL of the schools are EXCELLING, which is the highest grade given to the schools by the Arizona Department of Education!

As a Realtor who ONLY WORKS IN NORTH SCOTTSDALE, and a Parent, I would love to help you and your family in finding the right community, schools and home that matches your needs! Even if you wanted to simply chat, feel free to give me a casual call...if I am not with a client, I am happy to talk with you. My wife has also talked to many of the mom's and guided them! My number direct is 480-227-3311 - Matt Horton or you can email me at info@thehortonteam.com

Canadian Investors- Buying Bulk Real Estate in Arizona- Matt Horton

Matt Horton

Canadians Buying Real Estate in Arizona-

The Costco Model works in many businesses...EVEN in REAL ESTATE! We are creating a group of like-minded individuals that want to invest in Arizona's Real Estate market while prices are down, inventory is up and the buyer has the bargaining power. We are NOT looking for investors that are looking to buy $75k condos, rather groups of mid to high Net Worth clients that want to buy North Scottsdale properties! The reason? We believe that the future appreciation and ROI on prime location homes/condos are still in the North Scottsdale area. We have done the research on many areas and know that when the market returns, LOCATION is still going to be KING!

If you are interested in becoming part of a group of investors or want to even go it alone, we can help you! We even have a property management division of our company that helps you rent your property for you, manage the income, check in on the house, pre-screen tenants and the normal operations of managing your home! The result- Everyone Wins. We obviously will earn our share and we have learned through our long list of other Canadian Clients, that you guys(and Ladies) are extremely tight and share information to others....We love that! You can invest in a great market with the population growth expectations of over 10 Million!

If you are interested in talking or have a group of individuals of your own, we can talk! Call me at 480-227-3311 Matt Horton- John Hall & Associates

DC Ranch- Matt Horton- North Scottsdale Realtor-480-227-3311

Just wanted to thank EVERYONE for all the great comments on my blog about DC Ranch Real Estate, Silverleaf Homes and the surrounding areas! The stats are amazing and I want all my clients (present and future) as well as all that are not my clients, to be informed on the DC Ranch and the 85255 market!

We have seen a huge swing in inventory in DC Ranch! 3 months ago we had over 250 listings in DC Ranch and Silveleaf. That number sits at 142 today and I personally know of 12 homes that are pending sale that don't show up yet!!! If you were trying to time the market, you have lost a little bargaining power!!! However, historically it is still an incredible, no brainer investment!!!! The demand for DC Ranch and the emails I receive on a DAILY basis for DC Ranch is incredible. We have Sellers that have contacted us with the intention to sell, just waiting for the right time! So if you are interested in getting pre-released home info BEFORE it gets to the market, go to our website and fill out the form...In the comments section reference the DC Ranch 12 blog and we'll get you set up! Here's the site www.TheHortonTeam.com We are also going to begin releasing "HOME OF THE WEEK" with homes we feel are the best value. (Not necessarily the least expensive, but the best value)

If you would like to talk with me direct about what you are looking for, PLEASE CALL ME AT 480-227-3311.

Thanks so much!

One of the nicest features of Windgate Ranch is the purposely structured community inviting those who move there, a sense of belonging! I get many people around the country asking for a "Community" feel and Windgate Ranch certainly delivers that. Smartly, the parking lot to see the new homes is west of the community center, forcing you to walk by the AMAZING common area, Resort swimming pools with Cabanas, Teen Tech Center (including xbox, computers, air hockey and "hang-out" area. So many of our clients want a place that the kids can congregate to and feel safe! Along with all the ACTIVITES in the community, the monthly events adds another element of getting to really know your neighbors!

If you are looking for Windgate Ranch foreclosures, short-sales or just a great deal, call me and I can help you find the great deals that aren't even on MLS yet! We have numerous buyers and sellers that contact us with the intention of selling in the future...
