[quote=bearishgurl][quote=sdduuuude][quote=bearishgurl]And if you don’t mind indulging me, I have several questions about these “theoretical” 4/3 2500 sf homes for ~$350K in PHX:[/quote]
Been in this house. For $325K plus another $20K in improvements, they are living in something nicer than the $900K places we are looking at in Carmel Valley AND it is a huge lot. Same type of location as CV, too, with one of the best school districts.
The Pix are horrible, and it is updated now. Plus, they have seen appreciation. Probably $450K now.[/quote]
sdduuuude, I can’t see the pics because I don’t belong to Redfin. But you just made my point. The type of property the OP’s friend is looking for TODAY IN Phoenix proper (NOT out in the stix) is approx $450K.
Thus it is likely out of his price range.
…which leaves him back to consideration of Santee, Lakeside and Ramona, where “david” can freely park his boat :=][/quote]
I’m thinking he could go for the standard size lot instead of the .3 acres and shoot for 2,000 sq. ft instead of the 3000+ and be just fine under $350K in that neighborhood, which is a few (hundred) steps up from Lakeside, Santee, and Ramona.
