Phoenix AZ Real Estate

That is the latest from the Census bureau. Among the 10 fastest growing cities with a population over 100,000. From July 2006 to July 2007 Gilbert ( 8th place ) had a population increase of 5.8% or 11, 308 new Gilbertine's. That`s about 31 new residents a day.

What is attracting people to Gilbert????? How about a great school system, and some smoke`n deals on Lender Owned property`s

Unified  school district 41, is in my opinion, the biggest reason, and affordable housing. Here are my top three picks for single family 4 bedroom, 2 bath Gilbert school district 41.  All Bank Owned.

With an FHA program 30 year fixed rate these baby's will cost you about $1650 per month with about 8K cash down. That includes Principle, taxes, interest, insurance. That`s about $300 more a month than the average rent. You can at least write off the extra $4,200. They are good deals that make sense.

Working an FHA with Bank Owned property`s is like getting a cow to climb stairs, ( Very long story ) it can be done. It just takes a lot of work.

Here you go....

OK I really feel that we are only half way through the Ice berg. By looking at all of the Short sales in the Gilbert market, and knowing that 90% of short sales become bank owned. We`ve got a lot more REO`s on the way. Once in awhile I will find a great deal on a great home. This beauty is a custom home, coming in at 5,410 Square feet. Built 2001, 4 bedroom 4 bath 4 car garage, Living room, Family room, dining room, the list goes on. Oasis Pool, all of this on a 15,000 plus square foot lot. In beautiful Gilbert AZ, School District 41, no HOA. The previous owner of this Lender Owned property, paid just under 1 Million dollars, at about the height of the hype. Stu & Mike Troyan have this home listed for $533, 000. This is a great deal.

It is a short movie. I had to re take it over and over. I was distracted. Some crack pot escaped from the nut house, and was walking around the house trying to justify a low ball offer of $300K, luckily I charged my stun gun.

 I can not get enough of Fresh & Easy Grocery Stores. Since they hit the valley three months ago, I must be in one their stores everyday. By the looks of the increasing crowd, these guys are a success.

I would say on average I spend about $16. a day on dinner. Dinner is always a big question in my house, and now that my three children have their own cell phones, I start receiving calls about 3pm. Were out of this, we need that, and don`t forget dinner. My kids will eat just about anything as long as Mom hasn`t tried to cooked it. She`s cute and all, but the girl can`t cook. It has been 19 years, she can`t cook!

The very best thing about Fresh & Easy is that they discount their meat 50% on the seventh day of it`s shelf life, Seven days is nothing, all the other stores have their meat out for a minimum of twelve days. Honestly I have never paid full price, and never had a bad meal, ( Mr. Picky )Fresh Yellow fin tuna, NY Strip, Fillet, all half off. Their Chicken is incredible. It`s all Organic, no hormones. Same goes for their produce and baked goods.

Make your way into one of these stores, you`ll never go back.

 Hey welcome to Cosmo dog Park. this is where I take my dogs about sunrise, or sunset. Never during the summer sun, to hot!!! This is a great place for the dogs to burn off some energy, and a better place to give them a bath. Rex my Australian Shepard, yes the kids named him after the dog in the movie babe, will not swim, however loves a long bath. Angelo, whom was named angel before he was fixed, we felt bad for the dog so we gave him a tough name, will swim like a fish. The only thing this park is missing is a beer garden.

 Phase one of San Tan village "Power" in Gilbert Arizona.

Really know one calls it Power. They know it as San Tan Village.

You can`t help but notice the 24/7 "Super Wall " right next to a Sam`s club... I never understood why they put those two so close together. You can shop at Wal mart, and then super-size yourself by going to the Warehouse version next door. Let`s not forget the Costco at the end of the block. being phase one this mall has all the anchor stores, across the street at Phase two we have all the designer boutiques. The San  Tan Village is a big tax base for Gilbert. I am seeing more homes sell down the street on Parkcrest, considering its location to the 202 and tons of food.
