When considering purchasing homes for sale in Maricopa, many buyers use the railroad as a border of where to purchase a home.  Buyers do not want to deal with the traffic the train causes and have no quarrels about restricting their home search to north of the railroad Tracks.  For these Buyers, homes for sale in Palo Brea, Desert Cedars, Maricopa Meadows and the subdivision of Alterra are not an option.

It has been said by Union Pacific Railroad Representatives that a train passes through Maricopa 40 – 55 times every day !! It is for these reason, people seeking homes for sale in Maricopa, do not seek homes in Maricopa south of the tracks.

The Arizona real estate contract allows for the option of the Buyer(s) to ask the Seller(s) to pay for the HOA transfer fees, disclosure fees and other fees.  When making an offer on a bank owned property, if you asked for the Seller to pay, there's a good chance that the bank is going to counter that "Buyer(s)" pay fees.  If this happens, here is what you can expect in terms of fees (need to verify for every transaction):

• HOA Transfer Fee $420
• Transfer Fee $ 100
• Disclosure Fee $ 175

Not counting any back-owed HOA dues.
