Please stop by next week for the monthly Aviano real estate discussion. Next
Wednesday, 11.4.09 at 6:30 PM. No cost, ultra casual and highly informative.
Ususally lasts an hour, in the very nice little meeting room in the community
center. See you then.
The Venezia short sale at 21910 N. 36th St had a contract fall through after the
bank accepted the offer of $385K. So it is back on the market for that price
and likley will be able to close quickly. Venezia models have 2417 sq ft with 3
bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a 2 car garage. This home backs to Black Mountain Blvd
and there is a tenant in place.
The Del Oro short sale at 3720 E. Bryce Ln reduced price to $489,500 for 5240
sq ft with 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths and a 3 car garage. This home has a basement.
Backyard is dirt. No clue (insurance history) report or Sellers Property
Disclosure report provided according to the mls listing. I find this odd as the
original buyers are, to the best of my knowledge, still living there.Anyway
this is a large home and has been on the market 58 days on this listing.
A big price drop on the normal sale San Mateo at 23021 N. 39th Way. Now priced
at $750K, it had been listed at $1,000,000 for 285 days. It has a basement so
the sq ft is 4622 with 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a pool and 3 car garage. The lot
premium was probably $40K or more for this 11,309 sq ft lot that backs to a
wide wash. 
A new listing for sale in the Villages, unit 1070 in building 5 is a normal
sale Pienza model priced at $312K. 3 levels, these and the Arrezo/Piatto are the end
units on each end of the buildings. The Pienza has 1580 sq ft - the listing says
1361 but I don't think that is possible. 2 bedroom, 2 bath with a 2 car garage.
A brand new Pienza from Toll Brothers in building 17 is priced at $341,995.
Herein lies the problem for "normal" listings in the Villages: you are competing
with Toll Brothers on the high end and foreclosures/short sales on the bottom end.
That is tough.
