Arizona's Homes for Sale

More and more people are buying a real estate property in Arizona to have an investment. About six months ago, real estate investors in Homes for sale in Arizona  and around the country were buying properties as fast as they could, taking advantage of very low prices and plenty of inventory. Now that the spring real estate market has blossomed, inventory is lower and fewer homes are available at auctions.

The low inventory is the result of two trends: more buyers are in the market trying to beat the tax credit deadline and the possibility of higher interest rates; and fewer properties are being placed on the market by banks. However a bigger factor is savvy real estate investors seeing the potential of low prices and high cash flow returns. This makes buying even at the highest auction prices a true steal.

Successful real estate investors need to switch strategies to adjust to the changing marketplace. With fewer homes available at auctions, buyers and investors have been pushing up the prices bit by bit. While buyers are still getting a great deal on these properties, investors will find these slightly higher prices are more conducive to holding onto the homes for cash flow properties rather than flipping them.

Investors should always keep their primary goal in mind when buying real estate creating profit. Most investors would prefer to make a $100,000 profit rather than a $20,000 profit on their investment. In fact, all of them would.

Current market conditions suggest that holding onto property purchased right now for about three to five years will generate a higher profit than flipping. Here’s why: Some of the homes available at auction now for $100,000 were worth as much as $300,000 a few years ago. If you purchase a three-bedroom, two-bath home at $100,000 and your monthly costs are $600 or $700 per month, you can generate a profit of $600 to as much as $800 per month if you are able to rent the home for $1200 to $1500. Then, in three to five years as the market improves, you will be able to sell the home for as much as $175,000 or even $200,000.
