homes: Scottsdale Foreclosure Value of the Week: Scottsdale Dirt Costs How Much???
- 03/25/09 04:57 AM
As many who follow my blog regularly have probably noticed, I took a recent break from my series of posts dedicated to locating the best foreclosure home values in Scottsdale. This was not necessarily by design. A recent surge in market activity has left me with less time to devote to this series, so I have put it on the backburner until today. With so many new foreclosure listings inundating the market daily, it can require a great deal of time to separate the truly outstanding values from the mere great ones. I am bringing the Scottsdale Foreclosure Value of the … (3 comments)

- 03/20/09 12:24 PM
Holy mountain views! Unless you are brand new to the area or have been living under a rock for the past decade and a half, you are most likely familiar with the planned community of McDowell Mountain Ranch in North Scottsdale. Nestled at the base of the aforementioned McDowell Mountains, this terrific community is located just east of the Loop 101 near Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd. Perched above it all, the homes on the outer boundaries of the development house unrivaled desert vistas and/or city light views all the way to Camelback Mountain, South Mountain and beyond.
One of the best features of McCormick Ranch living in Scottsdale, Arizona is the walking path system which connects all of the community's wonderful amenities. From the parks and lakes to the golf and fine dining, the amazing multiuse path system connects it all. As such, homes located along the walking / bike paths are highly sought after properties for both seasonal residents and permanent residents alike.

homes: Looking to sell your Scottsdale or Paradise Valley AZ home? I might have the buyer!
- 01/16/09 06:38 AM
If you are like many potential home sellers I have spoken with over the past several months, you are leery of putting your home on the open market. The crush of competition, the dirth of qualified buyers ... the constant state of panic that your home won't be in absolutely show ready condition when a buyer finally does show up after weeks of inactivity. Perhaps you would like to move, but simply do not want the hassle associated with listing and marketing a home. Basically, you would sell if a buyer fell from the sky (or internet), but don't want to … (11 comments)

homes: Scottsdale Foreclosure Value of the Week! (McDowell Mountain Ranch)
- 11/24/08 02:20 AM
Put that down! That's nacho cheese! Well, in this case, I suppose it is yours. In this economy, who isn't interested in holding on to as much of their cheese as possible? As such, many Scottsdale home shoppers are passing on the pricier properties and heading straight to the bank-owned aisle. With values such as the ones I encounter on a regular basis, who can blame them?
The Scottsdale Foreclosure Value of the Week is located in the prime McDowell Mountain Ranch planned community in North Scottsdale. Originally developed in the early 1990s, this community is nestled at the … (9 comments)

homes: Buyer Touting: Targeting Sellers Before They Become Sellers
- 10/21/08 06:54 AM
In typical Real Estate marketing, an agent directs efforts towards selling either a product or his/her services. In turn, that is how most professionals gear blogging habits. We post our listings and promote ourselves as buyer and/or seller representatives. One avenue that is lightly explored, however, is the direct marketing of our buyers to sellers. Given the sheer immensity of active inventory in many markets throughout the country, the art of mating buyer with property is not always as refined as it could be. For example, we have about 50,000 listings currently on the market in the metro Phoenix area. … (34 comments)
homes: The Further Distressing of Distressed Property ... Enough!
- 10/12/08 03:38 PM
I wrote an article a couple of months ago which detailed the rise in vandalism & theft across the greater Phoenix and Scottsdale area. As the number of vacant homes have risen steeply along with the spike of foreclosures and total listings, so too have the targets for the scavengers in our midst. The point made was that placing a “For Sale” sign in the overgrown and underwatered front yard of a clearly abandoned house is nothing short of ringing the larcenous dinner bell. Copper, appliances, cabinets, ceilings fans, light fixtures, A/C compressors and anything else that fits in the … (20 comments)

A small neighborhood of 62 homes, Town & Country Scottsdale is coveted as much for its downtown Scottsdale location as it is for its classic lines. Featuring the clerestory windows and sharp angles that make enthusiasts of … (7 comments)
homes: Is a House Trade Right for You?
- 06/28/08 04:24 AM
The concept of trading houses is not a new one. It was around when I started in this industry nearly a decade ago, and it was around when my father was just launching his career in 1974. What is unique, at least in terms of the local Real Estate market in the greater Phoenix area, is that the current climate makes the seemingly farfetched idea more feasible today. Until the woes of the past year and a half, the Valley maintained a steady appreciation schedule for nearly 15 successive years. The market may not have been wholely dominated by sellers until the brief … (20 comments)
homes: New NE Phoenix Listing: Remodeled Gem on Huge Lot in the Chaparral High School District!
- 03/24/08 03:36 PM
A remodeled home on an 18,000 square foot lot in the Chaparral High School District for less than $500,000?!!! Am I kidding? Nope! This might just be the best value in all of Northeast Phoenix and Scottsdale. The land alone is nearly worth the asking price! (Yes, I am aware there is a big pile of gravel in the driveway! It is destined for spreading around the sport court in the back yard. The seller is such a reasonable fellow that he won't even make the buyer do it!) One lucky buyer gets far more than land value, however. This 4 bedroom, 2 bath … (10 comments)

homes: New Home in an Old Favorite! New McCormick Ranch listing!
- 02/22/08 01:33 PM
McCormick Ranch has long been one of the premier master planned communities in Scottsdale, if not all of Arizona. Famous for its miles of greenbelts, walking paths, parks and lakes, the neighborhood amenities and location are unrivaled. With the majority of houses in McCormick Ranch having been built in the 1970s and early 1980s, however, many buyers are left with a choice: buy an older property to remodel in an ideal location, or forsake location and amenities to purchase a newer property elsewhere. What if I told you that you didn't have to make this choice? I am proud to present to you that rarest … (10 comments)
