@@TSnowy23 true story! I guess Every city has “something” right?? Giant bugs, humidity, waterways with things that want to eat you, 10 feet of snow, missing “pets“ 🙀… We don’t actually mind the heat… We just consider it boating season and go from one AC to the next! Most importantly for me, keeps the riffraff out… Let’s just say there’s nobody “hanging out” at our Home Depot. 😉 Appreciate you hanging out! ~HavasuLew

Thanks man! Appreciate the comment! 😉I am usually there to scope it out for a client and it's not a "sales pitch". What you see on the internet is designed to "sell you". Its always the "best house in the world", professional photos that make it look amazing, will never show you anything negative, won't show you the guy across the street that loves his junk car projects. I am there to show a more realistic perspective so my clients can make better decisions. Thats why this channel exists in the 1st place. Just want to make sure my buyers get the right house...sometimes they get frustrated when I shoot down homes they "love", because at the end of the day, it always works out for them, and they are happy... and when they are happy, I get new "cheerleaders". 😎 As far as the houses go... just imagine how I feel?... I have been doing this for almost 20yrs! I say give the same descriptions over and over, without even thinking about what Im saying... Im actually thinking about what im going to do for lunch as i'm talking, because its all been internalized. 😉 Thanks for hangin out and watching my stuff! Appreciate you! ..."Don't forget to smash that like button!" 😂😂 ~HavasuLew

I would imagine... I shot it at the end of February and had a estimated completion date of 6/1/24... however, looks like they let the listing expire beginning of July. The way I understand it, the son/builder, was there at the time, said he really didn't want to sell it at all and wanted to keep it for himself. ;-) The mom is the agent and she wanted to sell it, as that was why they were building it in the first place.

@@kc72186 rumor is… And I have no idea if it’s true… Is that they actually did try to do that in the beginning… Until they tried to stick a shovel in the ground 😬 we really don’t have any “dirt” here more of a aggregate mix of caliche type bedrock, sand, dirt rock, etc. just trying to dig a hole to put a 5 gallon plant in is a pain in the ass. Same thing happened out at the Havasu Riviera project… Took forever because they kept running into issues. Only really the residential states zoned areas around the golf courses and most of the planned unit developments have underground utilities. of course, anybody can pay to have their own powerlines buried. ~HavasuLew

@@HavasuLew 👍

Of course, a lot of dog people here, including me... most people have doggie doors. ~HavasuLew

Compared to what? Its actually priced pretty well and should sell pretty quick.

?? I dont get it... please explain? ~HavasuLew

@@HavasuLew Me neither. Havasu is nothing like CA

@@markhilsen2700 although we have had a bigger than normal influx of California buyers… Especially during the pandemic… Were kind of a unique set up here. There’s no free ice cream, no handouts… No freebies, nobody hanging out at our Home Depot, Even our Walmart is nice! You can’t just “hang out” here you have either be retired, bring it with you or make it happen... A lot of entrepreneurial type people here and we like it that way. 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍. ~HavasuLew

@@HavasuLew Never had anything but a great time when I’ve visited👍

@@markhilsen2700 from my first visit while still in high school…I was sold… why do you think I ended up here?? 😉

Inventory is actually pretty low right now @ just over 350 single family homes for sale... (normal inventory is around 500-800). The typical home here is a 3/2, 1400sqft and a 10Ksqft lot...so anything on a bigger lot, 4+ bedrooms and the RV garage will have significantly more value in our market. I see they just did a $25K price adjustment to speed up days on market (typical is about 50-70 days right now). These are ALL RV garage pool homes available right now: bit.ly/RV-PoolHomes I appreciate the comments and thanks for watching!! ~HavasuLew

For sure!...probably not that low, as the lowest priced pool home with at least a 3+ car garage is currently $537K... and it is a 4 car....but I would guess a "sold" price will probably be around the $540-$550kK range somewhere This is not my listing, was just looking at it for a client. The listings you see online always provide the best possible perception and are designed to “sell you“. It’s always the best one on the block. Professional pictures.

@@HavasuLew While I disagree on the price, I do appreciate the fact that you showed the weaknesses of the property as well as the strengths. Almost no one would have taken the risk to show the zoological back yard of the neighbors which is definitely a factor when buying this home.

@@HavasuLew My reasoning on the price is the fact that I travel out there on a regular basis as my dad lives there. Because of this I have been looking myself only to find that most of the homes are terribly designed 3/2 splits with the exact same floor plan. That is all I see over and over again out there. And, like most areas in the US, the homes have echo generating, slippery when dusty/wet tile all over the home. You could hear a mouse fart at 100 yards in most of these homes.

There is a cycle where homes are now in the 70's all over again...Many homes have cheap plastic, echo generating flooring that resembles linoleum from the 70's. This stupid faux wood fad will end badly and most of that flooring will end up in the land fill just like the results of every other home decoration fad.

Another factor is the fact that there are very few jobs in Havasu where one can make enough for the monthly payment. Now, are there 401k millionaires that have cash? Yes, but they will have $750k in this home to make it a decent retirement pad.

@@girodeitalia2259 the lot it sits on is $400-500k. Thanks for watching! www.homesearchlakehavasu.com/havasu-foothills-estates/ ~HavasuLew

@@HavasuLew I guess we'll agree to disagree, but the high and price maybe could be obtained two years ago, but going forward as you well know, properties are only worth what people are willing to pay for them in that house at the very least needs a good hundred before it's move-in ready

@@girodeitalia2259 i’m a straight shooter… the data is the data…That tells the real story. And you’re right… At the end of the day, if somebody is willing to pay it, and it appraises based on the sold data, then that becomes another piece of sold data to use. Keep in mind… Prices were adjusted down once interest rates went from 3% to 7% in essentially one day. Took us about six months for Sellers/market to slowly adjust down to meet those high interest rates. At that time, the market was going bonkers with only 67 total single-family homes for sale… Once that interest rate changed, buyers pulled back because they were not willing to get killed with record high prices and 7%+ interest rates at the same time. Remember… These people who were not able to buy, didn’t go away…Once interest rates go back down a little, and they will at some point, (probably not 3%) prices will increase again and more buyers will return to the market. It’s supply and demand…simple economics 101. Our market is still pretty active here and our single-family inventory is still considered pretty low with just about 350 single-family properties for sale. if you would like to follow the market conditions, you can do that on my website. Under the “sold” section, you will be able to see list to sell ratios and days on market. Just like the rest of the data on my website, it is always updated live and in real time. You can follow that here if you like. www.homesearchlakehavasu.com/lake-havasu-market-conditions/

@@HavasuLew I agree with pretty much everything you just said, but would you agree that most sellers will price their home above what they are willing to take full well knowing people are going to come in and try to knock off on a $1.5 million property in this market at least 400 and I believe that would be on a house that will pass inspection and that doesn't need a fair amount of work PS back in 2017 I bought my daughters who are attending The University Of Arizona a house in Marana I paid 229.9 and the girls insisted on brand new bathrooms, along with fresh paint and new carpet in the rooms but I would've done that anyway for that house, in late 21 my neighbor who has the same floorplan but without a pool sold his house for 429.9 and these are just little cookie cutter houses. I understand markets and supply and demand, plus I love your videos and think they're very well done and if I'm ever in your neck of the woods looking for a property, you will be the go to agent

Definitely needs some love... people really like to look at price per sqft, as do I, as it gives you a quick bank for the buck general idea, BUT there are a TON of variables that go into that. If every house on the block were the same, like a track homes, this would be much more accurate, and Zillow's "Zestimate" would actually work here. We add a lot of value to certain things like lot size, lake/mountain views, block walls, etc. Lake Havasu was basically one big master planned community so it is a hodge-podge, where you can have brand new million dollar home, right next to a original home built in 1970.

@@HavasuLew I have no clue what Zillow has this house valued at. I'm just comparing this to other houses in LHC and their closing prices. $310 per foot is prob still too high but you could get lucky.

@@SkillSet2 whatever it is… It’s not accurate! Lol… This is not my listing, was just looking at it for a client.

We'll see... probably not that low, but I would guess a "sold" price will probably be around the $550K range somewhere. Thanks for watching!

Talking back yard?

It was actually just reduced to 389… Not a bad price for what it is. The garage could be a little deeper. …However… It is still for sale so…😬 thanks for watching! ~HavasuLew

This one just sold a couple weeks ago, (www.homesearchlakehavasu.com/property/1029131) but pools in Lake Havasu are typically 5.5'-6' deep. Once you go deeper than that it requires a little more steel, engineering etc. You can find all Lake Havasu pool homes here - always live and updated in real-time: bit.ly/Havasu_Pool-Homes

Yes… You would just unmarry the parcels to make them separate after close of escrow …but… This one went under contract right away. ~HavasuLew

@philloz Lecanto is central / northern FL. In the winter, the overnight can get into the high 30's and low 40's for weeks on end. Hopping into a 60 degree pool is NOT fun! The heat pump system delivers either warm or cool water, using the same condenser / evap units. Cheers!

for only 700 grand !!

Roof mount heat pumps are normal… that area is for servicing. As far as the lot… it’s a rare find and will most likely be used to build out garages.
