The RTC finishes up... Part 4 in a 7 part series As the savings & loan debacle worked its way through the Arizona economy in the early 1990's, no one was spared. Locally, that meant a degree of pain for the developers & builders working in Val Vista Lakes. The Val Vista Lakes Partnership went into bankruptcy during this time, and the position of "declarant" (the legal entity in charge of assets & money until homeowner control is conveyed) fell to the RTC. We here in Val Vista Lakes were fortunate to have as our RTC liaison an honorable local … (0 comments)

Real Estate Sales in Val Vista Lakes, Gilbert Arizona - History Repeats Itself? Part 3 in a 7 part series By the late 1980's, sales in Val Vista Lakes were brisk, although much of that would be attributed to the builders, with their large advertising budgets... Richmond American, Ryland, McBail, and A&M homes were the major players on the production side, with a large numbers of custom builders putting up homes in the custom areas. Times were good - the community was coming together as Dennis Barney and the rest of the partners had envisioned. But, storm clouds were on the … (0 comments)

Real Estate History in Val Vista Lakes, in Gilbert Arizona. The tropical water wonderland of Val Vista Lakes was not always what visitors & residents see when they drive thru the shady, tree-lined streets.

val vista lakes: Cooler, or Heater?
- 09/26/09 08:37 AM
Remember the movie The Cooler? In that film, a down-on-his-luck type is hired by a casino to "cool off" a hot gambler, simply by standing near the guy at the tables... In a reverse-cooler sense, I have had the odd fortune this week of writing not one, but two offers on homes (different homes, different buyers) that had been on the market for a long time.
