It’s been a minute, hope your new year is off to a great start

Deal of the Week

Have you had thoughts of moving into a brand new home, that no one else has lived in and everything is under warranty? You may be in luck, because some of the best deals in the market right now are completed spec homes the builders are looking to get sold asap, and they’re offering big incentives to buyers.

Lennar is one builder who is offering huge incentives on their move-in ready homes. Promotional interest rates AND concessions you can use towards your closing costs.

They’re also offering promotional commission rates for agents. I’m not greedy and don’t have to make ALL the money. 😎 If you’re considering a new build, we should talk, and show you how you can use a portion of these commission promotions to help offset your out of pocket costs or to help get you an even lower interest rate.

Cool House of the Week

I saw this house on Instagram when it came on the market a couple weeks ago. All I knew about it was the price was over $15 million, so that is how I searched in the MLS. I was surprised when my search brought up 52 homes for sale at that price and higher! 🤯

This custom home is on the side of Camelback Mountain and it has the views & stunning amenities to justify its $18.5 million list price. The mountain is basically part of the house. I’m sold, you want to kick in on this deal? 😎

See all the details and pics of this amazing home.

How’s the market?

Rates are trending down the past week and conventional rates are now below 7% for the first time in the past two months.

My Listings

I listed another twin home in Sun City this past Friday and we made a deal after the first showing. Sun City is so hot right now…🔥

This property was the very popular D-35 floor plan which has 1,683 square feet and two bedrooms. See all the pics & details here.

My father is the president of the Sahuaro Miata Club again this year and I helped him to set up a booth at the 13th Annual Sun City West Auto Restoration Club Car Show this past weekend. There were over 400 show cars!! If you know me at all, you know I got all excited about the station wagons…😎

There were tons of really cool Chevelles and Camaros, but this 1964 Buick Skylark was the best of show, if you asked me. I’d heard about this model with the panoramic windows in the roof, but had never seen one in person. This one was immaculate and I’d bet I never see another one like it.

This Pantera was amazing and it just looks like it was ready to pick a fight with a Mustang. I’ve got a video of it running from when we’re leaving, let me know and I’ll send it to you. 😲

Sun City & The Grand have their own car shows coming up. I’ll share the details in future emails.

Food stuff

I had lunch with my friend & lending partner Aaron Alvarez at Western Alliance Mortgage. We’re doing a new monthly series of restaurant reviews and gift card giveaways.

We tried a new place at the Arrowhead Mall called Sizzle Korean Barbecue. I had never been before and it was a very cool experience.
