Sun City Grand 2010 Real Estate Market Update

Sun City Grand Real Estate Market Update
2010

Sun City Grand home sales began to plummet in mid-2005.  Demand again dropped dramatically in the third and forth quarters of 2006 and once more in the third quarter of 2008.  Sun City Grand sales did not plateau until the forth quarter of 2009.  The demand further increased in the first and second quarter of 2010, being the best selling periods in 2010. This was probably due to the influx of winter visitors and winter resident transactions.  Another factor would be due to the home buyer tax credit incentive program that sellers and buyers experienced due to a domino effect.  416 Sun City Grand properties sold in 2010, an increase of 38 sales from 2009.

Thanks for sharring!  Seems like you have some real seasonal flucuation, but prices have not dropped in your area as much as other parts of Arizona!  I wonder why!

Great news, Leolinda and that was a lot of work you put into this to give promising information.  I can't wait to see the statistics after this "season".  With all that Sun City Grand has to offer - the actvities and neighborhood events you post about, no wonder it's one the leading active adult communities in the country. 

I, for one, used to think of the Sun City area as homes only for retirees.  From your great blogs, I know that it's for everyone who wants a "community and lifestyle".  I'm sure that your clients know the value you bring knowing your area so well.  Great job.

Liz, this could be attributed to the lesser number of investors, financially sound buyers and sellers, the shear number of baby boomers retiring each day and most of all, the fantastic recreational facilities that Sun City Grand provides its homeowners.

Juli, Arizona active adult communities are all about thd lifestyle.  No more snow, empty-nesters, people who woke at the crack of dawn for years on end now have finally found the time to relax, play, have hobbies and enjoy retirement years.  What a beautiful life!
