Priciest home sold in McCormick Ranch this week

August 2nd, 2007

Colonia Encantada takes the prize yet again this week for most expensive home sold in McCormick Ranch.

At $878,500 it’s the lowest price per square foot sold this year but it needs some updating and it’s only a 2 bedroom. A home with similar square footage but 3 bedrooms - and also needing updating - sold in May for $900,000.

Virtual Tour

The home was originally priced at $1,100,000 when it hit the market last October. The price was lowered to $998,000 in January and again to $950,000 in April where it was listed when sold.

It was built in 1981, has 3,693 square feet, 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.

Doggie day care in McCormick Ranch

August 2nd, 2007

This is totally wild!

Liz, my wife, took Peppy, our pretty, Papillion puppy to Doggie Domain, a business which I gather is a “doggie day care.” The cute factor for these guys is off the chart.

This all started because we need a kennel in two weeks when we go to Iowa for Liz’s niece’s wedding. So Liz took Peppy in for the afternoon to check these guys out.

This is the report back we got.

I’m so proud of Peppy. And she has such nice penmanship!

Doggie Domain Day Care and Overnight
www.doggie-domain.com
8989 E Via Linda
Scottsdale, AZ 85258

Unlike a standard Arizona dog care facility or Arizona boarding kennel with cages and minimal interaction, DOGGIE DOMAIN is a cage-free, indoor, supervised dog day care playground and doggie bed and breakfast.

Okay, to prevent any clamoring for Peppy’s photo…

Video of Rancho Antigua Condominiums

July 30th, 2007

I bought a video camera tonight at Best Buy in the Pavilions (JVC Hard Disc Drive for $450 on sale). My plan is to get my 17-year old son to shoot some video of McCormick Ranch parks, schools, etc. for this blog.

Knocking around the internet, I searched for “McCormick Ranch” in Google’s Video search and found this very nice video promoting Rancho Antigua Condominiums.

Prices in Antigua have really been soft… to be polite.

If you have any word on what’s happening in Ranch Antigua Condominiums, please leave a comment below.

Another Colonia Encantada winner - $1,251,000

July 20th, 2007

Originally priced at $1,695,000, this 3,952 square foot townhouse in Colonia Encantada (Unit #20) sold in 128 days for $1,251,000. The price was a record for a non-golf course lot in Colonia Encantada. The lot, however, was unusually large. The buyer was not represented by an MLS participating agent.

NEW! McCormick Ranch Mini-CMA emailed to you each month

June 24th, 2007

I think you’ll love this new product I just bought.

Home sellers just put in their address and every month it will email you a map with 5 nearby homes for sale and 5 nearby recently sold homes.

Its like a mini CMA for McCormick Ranch or anywhere in metro Phoenix. Its a great, quick way to see what’s happening to home sales and prices your neighborhood!

Please check it out and tell me what you think!

(I have paid for a limited number of readers to receive this service for free so sign up ASAP if you want to check it out.)

P.S. The mini-CMAs also work great for home buyers. You just put in your criteria and you get homes for sale in the zip code that meet your criteria.

When you are ready to buy or sell, I can create real CMAs for you to help you in your decision-making.
