- 04/16/11 08:49 AM
The home you didn't think existed in McCormick Ranch not only exists, but is now for sale. Decadently remodeled and expanded, this is the rarest of creatures for these parts. A Scottsdale Real Estate unicorn, if you will. Now remain quiet and try not to make any sudden movements. You don't want to scare it away.

- 06/12/10 03:09 PM
I sell McCormick Ranch Real Estate.
Shocking, I know, to many long-term readers of this forum. However, it has been quite some time since I last directed the focus of this blog to my first housing love. Not one to take my significant other for granted, it is far past time I renewed my vows.
I have actually been preparing them for the past few weeks over at the Scottsdale Property Shop Blog in the form of subdivision spotlights, maps, live listing feeds of homes for sale, floor plans ... my labor of love is an early summer sonnet for … (6 comments)

mccormick ranch homes: Where Should You Invest Your Last Six Bucks?
- 10/01/08 08:04 AM
Will they or won’t they?
As the eyes of the nation remain riveted to the halls of Congress in anticipation, or dread, depending on perspective, of a financial rescue bill, the seven billion dollar question for you on the ultra microeconomic level is where to put your money.
Should you roll the dice and throw good money after bad in the stock market, wagering that the implosions of the past week have created buying opportunities instead of additional seats aboard the Hindenberg?
Should you reinvest what’s left of your portfolio into Real Estate now that prices have crashed, before … (32 comments)

mccormick ranch homes: Mountain View East in McCormick Ranch: Unique Architecture in Scottsdale Series
- 08/10/08 02:59 PM
Departing from the Victorian homes we visited in the first installment of the Unique Architecture in Scottsdale Series, we now turn our attention to a community that is a bit more modern.
View Larger Map
Mention modern architecture to most laypersons, and one name immediately comes to mind: Frank Lloyd Wright. Through Taliesin West in Scottsdale, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation continues to carry on the legacy of its iconic namesake. Personally responsible for various landmarks throughout Arizona, Wright gave birth to an entire school of architects/builders which incorporated his philosophy of “organic architecture” and design into a … (27 comments)

mccormick ranch homes: Who Wants to Trade Their Scottsdale Home for Prime Prescott Acreage?
- 08/06/08 08:33 AM
Hot in that Scottsdale home that you can’t sell?
Interested in building that dream home up north?
As I mentioned in a previous post, the idea of a house trade is becoming more intriguing to many homeowners given the current state of our local Real Estate market. Trapped in homes that they cannot sell, many are turning to more creative ways to buy and sell Real Estate.
I know the demand and interest is out there as I have had several consumers contact me as a direct result of that one post, expressing interest in the concept. With the larger national … (20 comments)

mccormick ranch homes: Citibank ... I'll Make You Famous
- 06/25/08 02:34 PM
When shopping for a new home, every potential buyer has a wish list. "X" bedrooms, "Y" bathrooms, pool, maybe a big, open kitchen with granite countertops and a nice patch of lawn out back. Price range is of critical import, though largely as an isolating factor. Once the parameters are established, it's a matter of falling in love.
When it comes to financing, however, most borrowers go into cold, hard number-crunching mode. Very few look past the curb appeal when shopping for a loan. They don't particularly care who they give their business to, provided that the math looks the most … (33 comments)

mccormick ranch homes: Holy Multiple Offers, Batman! Will Investors Save the Phoenix Market?
- 06/23/08 05:44 PM
Multiple Offers? Bidding Wars? Cash Sales? Oh My!
Surely I refer to the good ole days of 2005, right? Not exactly. Try 2008.
How do I know that we have either reached or are very near the nadir of the Great Phoenix Real Estate slump of 2007-2008? Well, I don't. Unlike the "experts" who like to think they can accurately forecast our market's health, I offer no promises as to the month, week, day and minute that we hit absolute rock bottom. I am but a simple Realtor. I do know one thing. When it does happen, there will be no … (40 comments)

mccormick ranch homes: "For Sale" or "Steal Me?" What does a Realtor's sign say?
- 06/20/08 04:12 AM
Another byproduct of the foreclosure mess across our Valley of the Sun is burglary. With every new headline that splashes across one of the local periodicals about the rise in foreclosed properties and vacant homes, it seems that the scavengers among us become more and more emboldened.
Targeting vacant houses is no new trick. A home with no one living in it is often perceived as an easy mark for appliances, air conditioning components, copper (wiring/plumbing), ceiling fans, etc. With the less desirable segment of our population reading the same papers and watching the same television reports, they simply know there … (33 comments)

Remember back in the day when the buying process entailed finding the home of your dreams? When value was defined by the home that held the most value to you?
Boy I do. I remember it like it was ... 2004, actually.
See, in 2005, everything went nutty in Scottsdale. With rampant speculative buying driving the market up, up and away, the average homebuying Joe stopped looking for a dream home. He just wanted a house. Any house. If it took bidding against 8 other Joes, he did it. He might not have ended up with his dream home, but so what? He'd just turn … (80 comments)

Originally developed in the 1970s, The Ranch has also seen a recent rash of remodeling, including total teardown and reconstruction in some instances. This is particularly true of the subdivisions which fall in the Chaparral school district (the basis of this report).

mccormick ranch homes: Back on the Market ... Do these jeans make my backyard look big?
- 04/19/08 03:22 AM
You've been married so long that you've forgotten how to be single. Your t-shirts all have holes in them, you don't shave on the weekends, and you haven't consumed a "Diet" anything in years.
While your spouse may love you despite the fact that you have completely let yourself go, you are in for a rude awakening if you ever find yourself back on the market. Flaws are only endearing to loved ones, not strangers. Before you hit those nightspots, you'll need a new wardrobe with the latest fashions. You'll need to cut that hair and clean underneath those fingernails. Don't … (51 comments)
