nicole doty: Animals of the MLS
- 07/09/16 02:24 AM
We have a sad but curious looking doggy in this week's edition of Animals of the MLS. Front and center, our family friend is definitely checking up on the agent taking pictures of their domain. He could also just be waiting for someone to throw his ball or perhaps grab his chew toy and play a good old fashioned game of tug-o-war. Either way, this pooch is in a position to survey what's happening and make sure everything is on the up-and-up.
Not a very large breed of dog, this animal's size certainly isn't imposing, however, smaller dogs can be more vocally intimidating than their more size-able counterparts. … (21 comments)

Listing Prices in Gilbert, Arizona June 2016
Real estate market data for Gilbert, AZ provided by Nicole Doty of Zion Realty.
We've got a surprisingly mixed bag of results from June's housing numbers here in Gilbert, Arizona. On some accounts it looks like the busy Summer buying season is here and in full swing already. However, other indicators have the market taking an unexpected downturn that isn't quite normal for this time of year. Let's first break down the numbers. The average Active median list price for a home in Gilbert for the month of June 2016 was $349,000 which is the exact same amount as the previous month. Sold home values experienced a … (3 comments)

nicole doty: The Most Expensive Home sold in Arizona last week - 7/5/16
- 07/05/16 12:54 AM
The most expensive home sold in Arizona last week doesn't seem like much upon first glance. It's stone clad exterior walls, purposefully rusted entry gate, and peaceful courtyard that leads you to the front door aren't lavish or necessarily affluent features that jump out at you and exude "luxury". You have to dig a little deeper to understand why this property sold $3.2 million dollars in just a little over 3 months on the market. First of all this home is located in the highly coveted subdivision of Desert Mountain where land lots alone are sold for over a million dollars. Secondly, … (15 comments)

nicole doty: Animals of the MLS
- 07/02/16 01:08 AM
There's a twist in this week's edition of Animals of the MLS. Usually this weekly series shows a domesticated pet in it's home environment. However, we have a special fowl friend to feature in today's post. If you've been on YouTube or watched television shows dedicated to online viral videos you've no doubt seen multiple home made clips of geese or ducks attacking unsuspecting children and adults alike who are either just trying to enjoy a day outside or perhaps attempting to feed these usually peaceful animals.
In an attempt to show this neighborhood's community amenities, this agent certainly put themselves in a position to end … (23 comments)

nicole doty: Infill lots & Raw Land for Sale in Gilbert, AZ - Update June '16
- 07/01/16 12:20 AM
Purchasing land can seem like a monumental task to those who have never ventured down that road. There are many different laws and regulations that accompany land transactions that you never have to deal with or even think about when buying a traditional home. A few questions that you need to first consider are whether or not you want to buy a plot of land in an already subdivided location or would you rather purchase your parcel far away from the city limits?
What is the difference between an infill lot and raw land? An infill lot is a parcel of land that is located in an … (8 comments)

Days on Market in Gilbert, Arizona May 2016
Real estate market data for Gilbert, AZ provided by Nicole Doty of Zion Realty.
April saw an absolute free-fall in the amount of time it was taking to sell a home in Gilbert, Arizona but May's results show a steadying of the ship. On average in the month of May 2016 a home in Gilbert took 60.7 days on the market which isn't even a 1 day increase over the previous month's numbers. Going back a full year to May of 2015 the average home in Gilbert sold after 65 days on the market so we have certainly seen a slight improvement in even the … (4 comments)

nicole doty: The Most Expensive Home sold in Arizona last week - 6/28/16
- 06/28/16 01:59 AM
The most expensive home sold in Arizona last week combines two architectural styles not often seen together. The builder of this million dollar luxury home successfully took art deco and rustic old-world charm to mix a one-of-a-kind, unique mountain side property. The appeal of this rare and special home must have been limited to a very specific type of buyer since it took almost a full year on the market until it sold. Starting with the exterior it would appear as if a space ship landed on to a Scottsdale hillside. Massive triangular steel beams extend high in to the air and a full front … (12 comments)

We've got a triple threat team of fabulous Fido's coming at us in this week's edition of Animals of the MLS. The first two friends are easy to spot but we only get a blurred glimpse of the hindquarters and tail of the third pooch in the lower left corner of the photo. Clearly the agent taking this picture happend upon a playful time of day as the tennis ball chew toy is proudly being displayed and not more than a few inches away from one of the family pets. I'm sure that tennis ball never gets a rest with these three … (24 comments)

nicole doty: Horse Property Homes for Sale in Gilbert, AZ - Update May 2016
- 06/23/16 08:45 AM
It's hard to believe that Gilbert, Arizona was once known as the "Hay shipping Capital of the World." Since the mid-90's Gilbert has experienced a growth explosion not only in population but also in business and commerce. The famous Gilbert railroad tracks that cut straight through the entire Town are still there and plenty of rail shipments find their way through the hustle and bustle of sprawling subdivisions, however, Gilbert is far from the sleepy farm town it used to be.
Gilbert, Arizona is now the 4th largest Town in the entire State of Arizona. Encompassing just 72.6 square miles Gilbert has transformed itself from … (2 comments)

nicole doty: Coronado Ranch Homes for Sale in Gilbert, AZ 85297 - Update May '16
- 06/23/16 12:36 AM
When it comes to location, outdoor neighborhood amenities, and lifestyle, Coronado Ranch is a highly sought after community situated in Gilbert, Arizona. While consistent residential and business growth has pushed new home builders further away from the center of Town, Coronado Ranch is perfectly positioned to take advantage of a bustling and vibrant area. Located between Higley Rd and Power Rd to the East and West, and Queen Creek Rd and Germann Rd to the North and South, residents of this wonderful neighborhood have just enough room to stretch out yet are still conveniently within minutes of shopping, freeway access, and Nationally acclaimed restaurants.

My weekly blog post about the most expensive home that sells in Arizona each week had to take a brief hiatus while I was away at our annual church Summer Camp last week but I'm back and ready to share another unique property with all of you! I've highlighted properties many times before that are located in the highly sought after subdivision of Silverleaf in DC Ranch. Last week's most expensive home that sold in Arizona can once again be found in this luxurious and very expensive subdivision. This is a new construction home that is not expected to be completed until Spring of 2016, however, … (10 comments)

- 06/20/16 01:43 AM
Sold to List Ratio in Gilbert, Arizona May 2016
Real estate market data for Gilbert, AZ provided by Nicole Doty of Zion Realty.
Every home owner wants to know how much their property is worth. Prices have long since stabilized for the most part here in Arizona and the dramatic shifts in upward and downward pricing have largely ceased. Bidding wars are few and far between and are only reserved for those most sought after locations around the Valley where properties rarely come available. But what can a home owner expect to get from their Gilbert, Arizona home?
The Sold to List ratio is a comparison between the price … (4 comments)

My weekly Animals of the MLS blog post had to take a one week hiatus while I was away at church Summer Camp last week but we're back in the saddle (pun intended). We've got a floppy eared and curious dog racing in to check out the scene in this week's Animals of the MLS. He can't get there fast enough to ensure this strange, picture taking agent is a friend not a foe. I'm sure our furry friend zipped around the corner at such a trot that the agent didn't have time to pull back and reset for the photo, however, … (27 comments)

When it comes to location, outdoor neighborhood amenities, and lifestyle, Fincher Creek is a popular and desirable place to call home. Consistent residential and business growth has pushed new home builders further away from the center of Town, however, Fincher Creek is perfectly positioned to take advantage of a bustling and vibrant area.

As many of you know I volunteer to be a High School girls youth leader at my home church, Redemption Church here in Gilbert, Arizona. Every year in June we take hundreds of kids on a five day Summer Camp to San Diego where we stay on the campus of Point Loma Nazarene University.
This year we chartered ten buses full of youthful exuberance and made the trek to the ocean where we all played games, sang songs until our voices were almost non-existent, and stayed up way too late every night laughing and sharing our lives with each other.

There's a bit of a twist in this week's edition of Animals of the MLS. Most of the pets featured in this weekly blog series are alive and well. This week, however, showcases an animal that was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Regardless of your opinions on hunting for sport, what we have here is certainly not the best decoration to have casually staring at prospective buyers as they evaluate a home for sale. Even though this woodland creature is in a relaxing and non-threatening pose, it's still awkward and perhaps a little bit creepy to enter a room in … (18 comments)

nicole doty: Non HOA Homes for Sale in Gilbert, AZ - Update May 2016
- 06/03/16 12:36 AM
Home Owners Associations can be a very positive and necessary component to a neighborhood. They ensure cleanliness of the streets and sidewalks. In some subdivisions that have common green belt areas, parks, and playgrounds, they are in charge of trimming trees, grass, bushes, and the upkeep of the playground equipment.
Your neighborhood Home Owners Association will also establish the rules and laws in regards to the appearance of front yards throughout the community which will maintain the integrity and manicured look of the entire subdivision. Did your neighbor share with you their desire to paint the exterior of their home a bright yellow? Well … (4 comments)
