Shea Homes Arizona has announced that 25 of its model homes are up for immediate sale.
Emily Piranio, For the Tribune
Hudson & Marshall, one of the country's largest real estate auction firms, will auction nearly 200 foreclosures at 11 a.m. on Sept. 13 at the Camelback Inn in Paradise Valley.
Owned by national lenders, each home comes with an insurable title paid for by the sellers, and contracts generally close in 30 days or less. Winning bidders will be required to make a $5,000 deposit in the form of cash, cashier's check or certified funds for each property they plan to bid on.
Buyers are encouraged to inspect homes. An open house is scheduled from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. today and Sunday. For properties, visit www.hudsonandmarshall.com or call (866) 539-4172.
Down-payment help ending
The Oct. 1 elimination of seller-paid down-payment assistance may be temporarily accelerating home buyers to purchase properties before the assistance goes away, according to RE/MAX Elite.
August existing home sales for the Valley were down 1.9 percent from July, to 5,834 sales, but up 35.6 percent from the same month in 2007. The urgency is exacerbated by numerous lenders that are implementing terminations on the seller-paid down-payment assistance programs. The likely impact after October is unclear but could be significant given the prevalence of Federal Housing Administration loans in the Valley, according to RE/MAX Elite.
