Arizona Home Talk

Each week as I’m out looking at property I keep my eye out for smokin’ deals.  This week I’ve found one.  This deal considers the very valid old saying “LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.”  While builders typically have the best deals right now as they try to push inventory off their books in time for 2008, often the deal is tainted by a crumby “outskirts” location. Similar to a car dealership, builders are desperately trying to move product.  This week’s deal is in a community in South Gilbert - but conveniently located right near the new San Tan 202 Freeway.  It is near TONS of shopping and the new San Tan Village mall. 

This home is a brand new builder spec.  A “spec” home is simply a pre-built home where you don’t get much choice on the upgrades or options.  It’s built. Ready to go.  Begging for new owners.  The begging goes like this…

Hi, I want to be your new home.

• I am a popular floor plan with 3,912 square feet
• I have 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms
• I am on a huge private lot (13,500 sqft)
• I have stainless appliances, double ovens, gas cooktop
• I have granite countertops and crown moulding
• I have beautiful cherry cabinets with decorative moulding
• I have pavers in the driveway to your 3 gar garage
• I am in a neighborhood where all the homes look really nice
• I have an RV gate and Home Theatre package
• I was priced at $628,625 but now am only $463,625 ($165,000 off)

So, lets review. Almost 4,000 square feet of home, NEW, on a BIG LOT, in a NICE neighborhood for $463,625. That’s $118 per square foot - amazing price for Gilbert.  There is another spec in this neighborhood that was $109 per square foot.  But since I have very strict criteria for a Deal of the Week, that house didn’t make it because the floor plan was dumb.  If you’d like to see the floor-plan or pictures of this Deal of the Week email me at Becky@BeckyWyattOnline.com and mention “Deal of the Week in Gilbert posted Nov. 15th”.
