Real Estate News and Auction

Moody’s warns U.S. job growth has stalled as the shutdown halts official labor data, forcing Wall Street and the Fed to rely on patchy private reports.

AUCTIONS BRING MORE CASH

Arizona Real Estate Auctions is transforming the way properties are bought and sold in Arizona. Our innovative process combines the reach of Zillow Showcase Auctions with the efficiency of our online auction platform, giving sellers maximum exposure while creating urgency among buyers. What truly sets us apart is that in 95% of cases, buyers will make an offer before the auction even begins, motivated by the competitive environment and the desire to lock in a deal before others bid. This often results in faster sales, stronger offers, and less time on the market.

Even better, sellers save thousands in commissions because our auctioneer is a licensed flat fee broker, not a traditional percentage-based agent. That means you keep 3%–6% more of your equity compared to the old commission model — all while still benefiting from full-service marketing and auction expertise. From residential homes and investment properties to land and commercial real estate, Arizona Real Estate Auctions gives sellers a smarter, more cost-effective way to sell and helps buyers discover opportunities in a transparent, competitive setting.

This video walks you through how our auctions work, why sellers consistently save money, and how buyers benefit from open and fair bidding. Whether you’re buying, selling, or exploring how auctions can work for you, Arizona Real Estate Auctions is the modern approach to real estate success in Arizona

The Gavel & The Sign: Slash Real Estate Fees With A Dual-Threat Auctioneer
In a market where every dollar counts, Arizona homeowners are ditching hefty 5-6% real estate commissions for a smarter approach. A new breed of professional—a licensed listing agent who is also an auctioneer—is saving sellers thousands with a powerful combination of speed, competition, and a discounted flat-fee structure.

The Auction Advantage
This isn't just for distressed properties. An auction creates a time-defined sale, forcing urgency and competition among pre-qualified, serious buyers. This bidding environment can drive the final price higher than a traditional negotiation. Plus, properties are often sold "as-is," saving you the time, money, and hassle of post-inspection repairs.

The Flat-Fee Revolution: Real Savings
The real game-changer is the cost. Let’s break it down for a typical $420,000 Arizona home:

Traditional 6% Commission: $25,200 plus 1% Auctioneer fee $4200

Auctioneer plus Flat Fee 1% $4200

That’s a direct savings of $25,200

This innovative model offers sellers what they crave: a predictable timeline, a transparent cost, and a chance to keep more of their hard-earned equity. For homeowners looking to maximize profit and minimize market time, consulting an auctioneer-agent offers a powerful, modern alternative to the expensive status quo.

Phoenix Housing Market Update: Rising Inventory and Slower Price Growth

Online property auctions surge as buyers embrace transparency and speed

Mortgage rates dropped sharply lower today relative to the amount of movement in the underlying bond market with the average lender right in line with the lowest levels since late 2022. Because rates are directly tied to the prices of those bonds, the correlation tends to be almost perfect over time. [thirtyyearmortgagerates] But there are always scattered examples of one leap-frogging the other. These inconsistencies can arise for several reasons. In today's case, it happened due to late-day strength in bonds yesterday afternoon coupled with the structure of the underlying mortgage bond market. An explanation of the latter would be woefully esoteric in the context of a daily mortgage rate update--even for industry professionals. In the simplest possible terms, it has to do with the range of interest rates allowed in each grouping of mortgage backed securities (MBS). As investor sentiment shifts in favor of the next lower grouping, it effectively greases the skids for rates to slide down into the range associated with that grouping. The overall set-up is reminiscent of September 2024 when rates were doing the same thing for the same reasons ahead of Fed meeting with a virtual 100% chance of a rate cut. Back then, mortgage rates moved paradoxically higher after the Fed rate cut.  The same thing could happen this time, but it's by no means guaranteed. In fact, last year's Fed rate cut wasn't the catalyst for rising mortgage rates. Instead, it was an upbeat shift in economic data in early October. In other words, rates will take their next major cues from incoming economic data over the next few weeks. 

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell delivers remarks following the Fed's two-day policy meeting on Wednesday.

The Fed on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market.

In an 11 to 1 vote that signaled less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4%-4.25%.

Newly installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only one of those voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut.

Selling your home in Arizona no longer has to mean sacrificing tens of thousands of dollars to high commissions. At Mountain Lake Realty, we’ve built ArizonaMLSFlatFee.com around one simple truth: homeowners deserve full professional exposure without the burden of a 5% or 6% listing fee. Our flat fee model gives you all the reach, tools, and support you need to sell confidently, while letting you keep more of your hard-earned equity. Every property we list is placed directly into the MLS and syndicated to major platforms like Realtor.com, Trulia, Redfin, and—most importantly—Zillow, where the majority of buyers begin their home search. But here’s where Mountain Lake Realty stands apart: we’re not just another flat fee broker. We are a certified Zillow Showcase Agent, which means your property receives premium placement, enhanced visuals, and interactive features that buyers simply don’t get with standard listings. Showcase status ensures your home stands out with high-quality photography, bold presentation, and a level of visibility that makes a real difference in today’s competitive marketplace.

When you list with Mountain Lake Realty, you’re not getting a bare-bones MLS posting—you’re tapping into a marketing engine designed to maximize buyer attention. Our flat fee packages give you the flexibility to choose exactly what level of service you want. If you’re comfortable managing showings and negotiations, you can save thousands by choosing our entry-level package. If you’d rather have us step in with professional photography, lockbox and sign installation, or full contract support and negotiation, our VIP package delivers it all at a fraction of traditional commission costs. No matter which path you take, every package includes disclosures, DocuSign for fast and easy signatures, phone and email forwarding to protect your privacy, and the peace of mind of knowing your listing is presented professionally across Arizona’s MLS systems.

Homeowners from Maricopa and Pinal to Yavapai, Prescott, Pima, and Cochise have already discovered the difference. On average, sellers save $10,000 to $15,000 or more compared to what they would have paid with a traditional agent, while still getting the same—if not better—marketing reach. Our Zillow Showcase Agent status amplifies that reach by giving your home more visibility on the #1 real estate search platform in the country. Buyers notice Showcase listings first, which means more clicks, more inquiries, and more serious offers.

At Mountain Lake Realty, we believe in transparency, choice, and results. We combine the best of technology with decades of negotiation experience, ensuring you not only save but also sell with confidence. So before you commit to paying thousands in unnecessary commissions, explore a smarter way. Visit ArizonaMLSFlatFee.com, review our flat fee packages, and see how Showcase exposure through Zillow and full MLS syndication can get your home sold while keeping more money where it belongs—in your pocket.

The combined companies would be worth $10 billion, with roughly 340,000 real estate professionals servicing about 120 countries and territories, Compass said.
