gold canyon: Phoenix and Mesa, Arizona - Dollar Volume By City! - 11/30/09 09:11 AM
I've been doing a lot of searches for homes recently, and I'm noticing a trend. I am noticing that many of the listings sold by the homeowners are competing with the short sales and bank owned properties. I send them all to my buyers so they can see how comparable each are, but hopefully this means things are settling down a bit. I came across a great graph available on our MLS which has been prepared by Mike Orr, of the Cromford Report - awesome. I'm sharing it here.

I enjoy seeing where the percentage of homes are purchased, and … (11 comments)

It is an absolutely beautiful morning with highs promised to be in the mid-70's. I need to get out of the house, get my Vitamin D rays, and go for a ride.

gold canyon: One last look at Gold Canyon, Arizona! Golf Courses Included! - 01/30/08 02:55 PM
Since I took so many pictures of this picturesque community, I sorted through and came up with a few more to share. I had several golf course views that I hadn't shared, and since this particular area is a golfer's paradise, I decided to focus a bit more on golf.
Did you know? Besides beautiful accomodations, a restaurant and a spa, Gold Canyon Golf Resort boasts two 18-hole championship golf courses: Dinosaur Mountain and The Sidewinder. Some of the photos in the Real Estate Show Tour will give you glimpses of these courses which meander through the foothills along the eastern and northern … (10 comments)

As promised, though pictures don't come close to showing the beauty of this area, I have put together a virtual tour of the Superstition Foothills community located in the beautiful area of Gold Canyon, Pinal County, Arizona. Many of the homes in this specific community are custom built, and several builders joined in and built the community into the mountains, and the vegetation - with untouched and natural views.
Specific rules of the community include no overhead lighting (all of the lighting is set down in the plants alongside the road). This was put into place in order to allow the homeowners to enjoy … (23 comments)

Taking a drive east of the Valley of the Sun along Highway 60, I continue beyond Mesa, beyond the city of Apache Junction, and turn left/north onto the road entitled "Superstition Mountain Drive".

gold canyon: Sellers in Mesa, Arizona Are Getting More Realistic! Pricing Right and Staging! - 08/01/07 08:42 AM
I've been noticing a "small" trend lately. Sellers in Mesa, Queen Creek, Gilbert, Chandler and Gold Canyon, Arizona are "beginning" to price their homes more realistically, do some staging or "showcasing" their homes allowing buyers to "mentally" move into their new home. Want to sell your home in 10, 20 or 30 days? Your chances are much greater - depending on location - if Sellers listen to their Realtors.
There are still some sellers holding onto their inflated price and their colored walls which keeps it "their" home. I strongly advise my sellers to get their home in tip top condition before putting their home on … (13 comments)

gold canyon: Chandler, Arizona Top 100 Employers! - 06/28/07 07:25 AM
Arizona's employment opportunities are staggering! So many new companies are finding that this is THE state to do business.

Chandler is conveniently located near the 101 and the I-10 interstate AND the 202 loop. Home prices are typically slightly higher than Mesa or even Gilbert since it is closer to the businesses mentioned as well as closer to Phoenix. Many of those … (0 comments)

gold canyon: Williams Gateway Airport in Mesa, Arizona adding more flights! - 04/20/07 07:06 AM
I suspect many of you living in the Phoenix Valley are aware of the impending flights to/from Mesa's Williams Gateway Airport, but many of those living out of our wonderful state may not know that very soon more opportunities to fly in/out of the East Valley will be available. 
As one who is living and loving the East Valley - Mesa, I am excited about the prospect of having an airport just 10-15 minutes from my home that doesn't charge for parking, that doesn't have long lines, and that is a smaller more user friendly place from which to fly. The East Valley/Scottsdale … (1 comments)
