    I really do not know the area all that good.. We started by looking on Realtor.com for a home then we started to look for lands in the areas of the homes we liked.. Once we picked out a few lots we drove into Havasu for the day and walked all the lots with a note pad and drove around the...

    Just wanted to give an update. With all the back and forth on the "pie lot" we decided to kick that one to the curb for good.. The owner has too many issues and since that last buyers pulled out he has raised the price.. He can keep it... I wish a lot had opened up on the water, but I guess that...

    When we were looking at it last time right before we decided to make an offer it was pulled off the market and we were told something about the tax issue and he was fighting it in court.. I don't know the outcome, but then we saw it back on the market. Maybe it is a good thing we didn't get it..

    Just an update. We lot the lot again. Someone put and offer before we could.. We thought we were doing the right thing by doing our homework on the lot before putting the offer in and that bit us in the rear.. Back to the grind.....

    The first lot, the person pulled it off the market and we were told by another builder the land would need deep pockets to build a home on. We have not seen another lot come up for sale since.

    HA HA HA HA you sound just like us... We both love to cook so the kitchen is the first thing we look at in a home.. On the weekends we love sitting on the beach and watching the senanagins on the water. Then on Monday or Tuesday after they leave we go play on the water... My husband just got...

    Sorry I did not see this.. We are still looking. We looked at a few homes in Havasu and they were very nice, but every time we went right back to living on the water. We are still looking for a lot of land to build.. We looked at a few of the homes for sale on the water, but none of them had a...

    Monkeyswrench. Thank you so much for all that.. Some of the new manufactured homes we have looked at are very nice.. Their quality has come up over the years for sure.. The ones we have seen are using 2X6 boards, dual panned windows and we were thinking of adding extra insulation.. We have...

    Question... We are now debating buying a manufactured home and putting it on our lot.. Any thoughts on that one way or the other... I know they are less expensive than building a home, but what about the quality? The efficiency with the heat and cold? What about the upkeep? And resale value...
