As Arizona's biggest "small town", Buckeye still enjoys the great feeling of a small community. The city celebrates Countryfest in the fall, Pioneer Days in the spring, and a great family Fourth of July. Homebuyers are unlikely to find a more opportune time than now to purchase their dream home. Affordability has dramatically gone up, and is now at a very reasonable valuation compared to renting. Extra GOOD news and another reason for a buyer to act now, is the current all-time low interest rates which can result in a substantially lower monthly payment. A one-point drop in rates can bring a monthly payment down to about the same amount as if the sales price was dropped by thousands. There are a variety of loan programs available to meet the needs of each qualified buyer. If you are planning on living in your new home for several years, now is an excellent opportunity for you to make that move. Buyers currently have numerous choices and much leverage to purchase that dream home they have been thinking about. Remember if you wait to hear prices have stabilized from the media, you will have already missed your best buying opportunity.
A great number of the current transactions are REO properties and short sales. Most banks and lenders are negotiating with sellers and accepting deals to avoid foreclosure. We are seeing investors buying single family homes at specific price points. The market value declines have caused many sellers stress because their homes are staying on the market for 6 months or longer. Sellers who are willing to be realistic and price their homes at current competitive market values are actually selling their homes. As a seller, you also need to present your home to the market as attractively as possible and price it correctly when you first put it on the market. This is the time when buyers are interested in seeing the new home just listed and what it has to offer them.

Location Characteristics: Being located just 35 miles west of Phoenix makes it convenient for work, sightseeing, and an exciting nightlife, yet far enough away to retain a comfortable small town feeling. Therefore, residents can take advantage of the amenities found in a metropolitan city and throughout its western suburbs, and then return to the quiet comforts of home.
