Buyers camping out to buy homes in Phoenix?
May 13th, 2008 categories: Mesa Neighborhoods, Real Estate News
What year is this? 2005- no 2008-and buyers are camping out to buy homes? Check out the story
Blandford’s new community Mountain Bridge will start selling homes on Saturday.
“The developer plans to release at least 75 home sites Saturday morning and possibly more “if there’s enough latent demand,” said Joannie Flatt, a spokeswoman for the development.”
Apparently, the developer, Jeff Blandford plans to price the homes for the initial release at prices seen in 2002.
The models have been under construction the last few months with the sales office open for prospective buyers to see the homes under construction and view the plans for the community.
Mountain Bridge is south of McKellips Road, between Hawes and Ellsworth roads. There are some spectacular views of the city and mountains and just minutes from the last, yet completed, leg of the 202 freeway.
UpDate: Fox 10 news covered this story tonight (Wed May 14). People are camped out in RV’s and tents, hoping to get their choice lot. They even have a “mess” tents setup for campers to eat at. Many are repeat Blandford home owners and were very impressed with Blandford’s quality and customer service-my kind of builder. Should be interesting on Saturday.
Sounds like I need to catch a plane and stand in line! 2002 prices sound GREAT!!!

@Susan-I am going to visit the subdivision on Saturday to tour the models and see if the prices will be at a 2002 price
Lining up for houses? More like current Phoenix area homeowners lining up at the bank to give their keys back!
So Phoenix prices have dropped to 2002 levels in 2 years. Exciting? That depends on if the wind is behind the sails of the Phoenix real estate market.
But, what if the current trend continues? Is it possible that in 2 more years Phoenix could see 1996 prices?
Everyone is welcome to have their own opinion, but I am not going to be setting up a hibachi anywhere in the Phoenix area in the next couple decades.
