Please tell me nobody is buying developer BS anymore. Remember the days where buyers had 30 minutes to sign or lose out? Remember the people sleeping at new developments? Rember the VIP or private preview lists? Oh, and remember wine and cheese parties and the unending use of happy yuppie stock photos?
Here's one I got recently from 525 Town Lake by Pulte in Tempe, which I was surprised to see on their website turned out to be a pretty boring, crappy development. But boy, they're good at creating that sense of panic - but now, the tables have turned, and it's likely Pulte who'll be panicking...

I was about to cover my short on PHM.
Not any more.
What a piece of shit. What do they expect people to do, live like a 22 yo bachelor for eternity (limited to biking/walking, working in the loft, and attending dinner parties, but obviously not a anyone else's place that owns one of these), while that take that eternity to pay off this piece of shit.
I'm just getting married at 37 and I cant' image trying to fit my lifestyle it this cramped hole in the hole.
San Diego ready to hit 20,000!!
Just checked ziprealty.com and San Diego is only hours away from 20,000 listings countywide - already broke the 1995 record!. . .Maybe
Repo man can start a general SouthWest website.. .PHX/SAN.repo.com??
limited to biking/walking, working in the loft, and attending dinner parties, but obviously not a anyone else's place that owns one of these)

Oh yeah, one other thing you can do in this place, sit in your loft in front of your full spectrum light. Cause that's about all the natural light your gonna get in this bowling alley.
wow, 1200 sqft of living space in Tempe AZ for the low $400,000's.
Assuming starting at $420,000, that works out to $350/sqft. That's Newport Coast prices.
Those places in Tempe are incredibly overpriced- in Manchester CT- you get 1500 square feet townhouses brand new starting at 206K- 250K with hard wood floors, granite, stainless steel 2.5 baths 2 bedrooms, garage, same basic style 3 level as well.
---------------------------------
I can't even believe a cramped townhouse would go for that much. I live in a Cape Cod in Jersey I bought in 1996 for $93. And it's nice. Total sq-ft with finished basement, about 2200. If we had normal inflation my place would be worth about $135k now, not $220k. Even so, when I bought, condos were 40K to 50K. These people are going to be ready to puke when they find out they paid 8 to 10 times what it's worth, especially considering wages have been flat.
I have advice for Pulte.Hold on to the list of names of the people who actually respond to that BS E-mail.The list has the potential to outsell the entire development in the world of direct marketing.
Condos should be about 1.25 times college grad makes two years out of school.
Seemed like 'luxury' condos were over priced even ten years ago. I remember up and coming yuppies bragging to me about how they got a good deal on their luxury condo for $100k. I'm thinking "I got an actually effing house with a yard for less." Dumbasses.
Anybody from Jersey and remember how the luxury condos at "The Mansion" in Voorhees noseddived? I don't think that thing ever fully recovered. That's what we'll see all over the country.
Naples Fla hit 10k inventory. Ouch.
Nice, my Dad's down in Naples, with two financed homes (at least he picked them up cheap). His advise last year was "prices are only going to go up." Yeah, right.
these units, I kid you not, are DIRECTLY in the sky harbor flight path. your roof and windows rattle ever minute for 18 hours a day.
unreal.
Not an offer to CA, CT, NJ or NY residents??
Not sure I understand that.
At the risk of sounding like an idiot, what's the difference between an apartment and a condo?
Dear ocrenter -
$350/sq ft in Newport Coast?
I don't think so!
"I don't think so." You sound like Dixie Carter on Designing Women.
When crappy apartments (oops, I mean condos) are more expensive in south Scottsdale and under blasting noise from Sky Harbor in Tempe vs. Las Vegas, Atlanta or Florida, somethig is terribly wrong! PERIOD.
Phoenix was a great little city when I moved there in 1994. Cheap houses, beautiful desert, and a soul.
By the time I left last year, the houses became unaffordable, the desert got raped by houses, walmarts and strip malls, and the city lost its soul to illegal immigrants, wandering souls looking for work, and walmarts and strip malls.
It's not the city it was 10 years ago. It's now LA.
Too bad. It was a great canvas to work with, and the real estate industrial complex, including former Phoenix mayor Skip Rimza (yes, a realtor) destroyed the city for all future generations.
My last great hope for a new growing western US city in America to become something other than LA? I'd bet on Boise, Idaho and Albuquerque. Let's see if the real estate industrial complex screws them up too.
Nice turd hole. I'll pass. I'll stick with my 2.5 acres away from the humanoids losers.
I think this is my biggest beef with the REIC and central banking, they fuck up what was once beautiful farmland with urban sprawl and yuppies out the ass, destroy what was once a cool subculture, and jack up prices in the meantime. The prices will come down, but the subculture and open areas are gone forever.
my bad on that one. more like Lake Forest for $350/sqft. newport coast is more like $750/sqft these days.
Someone tell me where else in Metro Phoenix you can look out your window and see a body of water larger than a blue gill pond?
Nice! Where you get this guestbook? I want the same script.. Awesome content. thankyou.
