Welcome to the Scottsdale and Phoenix Homes For Sale Blog
March 17, 2008
Welcome to my blog about Scottsdale and Phoenix Homes For Sale. If you haven’t done so, I invite you to read the About page. There’s a quick blurb about the purpose of this blog, followed by a long, boring, probably useless bit of drivel about me, Steve Belt. If you check out the About page, be sure not to skip over the long boring drivel.
Whatever your motivation for visiting my site, I hope that your visit isn’t wasted. If you do find that there was something you had expected to find, but didn’t please leave a comment. Most of the pages have commenting enabled. If you don’t want to leave a public comment, but want to get a message to me, consider using the Contact page. As well, although I loathe the spam I receive, my email address is easily found by clicking on my name in the byline of any blog post.
Finally, there’s a small chance you don’t know what a blog is. Blog is short for weblog, which is a form of website that acts a bit like a diary or log, visible on the web. The author writes a post about whatever she or he feels like, and then anyone can read it. The next day or hour or week, the author writes again, and we typically see the latest post at the top. That’s all fine and dandy, but the really cool thing about blogs, is the ability to comment. This gives the reader a chance to interact with the author. To engage in a discussion. To ask a follow-up question. Whatever is on the reader’s mind, can now be read by the author. It’s interactive. It’s web 2.0.
There’s a really good chance that if you have a question, someone else has the same question. That’s why I highly encourage you to comment. If I missed something important, let me know. Or if you liked what I wrote, but want to see more, let me know that too. By commenting, it helps me tailor updates to be what you want them to be.
One other handy feature of this blog, is the ability to subscribe. By subscribing, you’ll get every post sent to you, as they happen, so you don’t have to bother with coming here to see what’s new. The new things come right to you. What could be better? The posts could come with an english muffin, I suppose. Even better, an english muffin with butter and jam. However, I think Geico has the market cornered on virtual english muffins with butter and jam, so for now, the plain post will have to suffice.
Dynamite Mountain Ranch Market Update – March 2008
March 15, 2008
 |
| There are currently 47 active properties for sale in the Phoenix subdivision of Dynamite Mountain Ranch. My last update was in November, when there were 66 homes on the market, so this is a welcome decline. The average asking price per square foot for all 47 properties is $143/sq foot, which is down from $152/sq foot in November, continuing the trend toward lower asking prices. The average property in Dynamite Mountain Ranch has been on the market for 147 days. |
| Size Range | Price/Square Foot | Number of Homes |
| under 2000 sq ft | $156/sq ft | 14 |
| 2000-2500 sq ft | $135/sq ft | 21 |
| 2500+ sq ft | $145/sq ft | 12 |
*data as of 3/15/2008, via ARMLS
As of today, 5 properties are in a sale pending status:
| Address | Size | Model | Asking Price | Price/sq foot |
| 2344 W White Feather | 1558 | Carmel | $199,888 | $128/sq foot |
| 2331 W Running Deer | 1558 | Carmel | $215,000 | $138/sq foot |
| 28041 N Via Dona | 2296 | Cape Cod | $249,999 | $109/sq foot |
| 28617 N 21st Ln | 2045 | Prescott | $250,000 | $122/sq foot |
| 2532 W Straight Arrow | 2192 | Cape Cod | $253,900 | $116/sq foot |
*data as of 3/15/2008, via ARMLS
In February, 2 properties closed escrow:
| Address | Size | Model | Sale Price | Price/sq foot |
| 29126 N 22nd Ln | 3006 | Cunningham | $325,000 | $108/sq foot |
| 2038 W Duane | 4233 | Valencia | $433,104 | $102/sq foot |
*data as of 3/15/2008, via ARMLS
One final stat, in the month of February, 10 homes were taken off the market, due to cancellation or expiration, with an average asking price of $148/sq foot.
The trend toward inventory levels shrinking is a good trend. Also, although February’s closure rate wasn’t very good, the number of homes in pending implies that Dynamite Mountain Ranch has roughly 12 months worth of supply, which is better than Greater Phoenix at 16+ months of supply .
