Why Move To Queen Creek, AZ- The New Boomtown In The Valley? Brand-new shopping centers. New housing developments. Nearly 70,000 residents and counting. And with the Top 10 spot in Homes.com's 2021 list of Best US Suburbs To Move To, it's no surprise Queen Creek is one of the fastest-growing cities in Arizona.  Not bad for a town an hour southeast of Phoenix which, over three decades ago, was just a desert farming community called Rittenhouse primarily known by city folks for Schnepf Farms' peaches and corn. A few more notable points in Queek Creek's relatively brief history: It was incorporated as a town in 1989 and registered just 3,700 residents a decade after incorporation. The early part of the 2010s saw it grew to just 26,000 people. Come 2020 and the town will issue its largest n... 03/04/2022

Much like the rest of the Phoenix Metro Area, Queen Creek has experienced a big decline in inventory.  Year over year, active listings are down 73%!  During the beginning of the shut down for the pandemic, the increased inventory is obvious but the continued downward trajectory made up for the increase.  New listings for 2021 are sluggish at best.The Median List Price in Queen Creek/San Tan Valley is currently $399,000 - up from $300,000 in January, 2020!  Considering the Median Price is $399,000, it's interesting to see how many sales are selling over list price.  Check out these numbers!  HUGE demand in the Queen Creek/San Tan Valley area.  Considering there is low inventory and buyers are paying over list price, it stands to reason that if all the current inventory sold, they'd be ou... 01/16/2021

Setting the post tension slab on a new home - New home Construction I get asked quite a bit, what is a Post Tension slab and why is it so important when building a home. Well, a "post tension" slab is a concrete slab that has steel cables running through it, they have been placed under 33,000 plus or minus, pounds of tension. This tension makes the concrete slab and foundation much stronger than concrete without reinforcement and it helps reduce cracking. The benefit of post-tensioned concrete, is its stronger, and more flexible than conventional steel-reinforced concrete. According to the "Concrete Network", post tensioning helps reduce cracking from shrinkage as the concrete dries, and hold together any cracks that do form. Builders have been doing this since the 1960's, only problem ... 04/01/2020
