McCormick Ranch Real Estate & Homes

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.

The City of Scottsdale’s improvement project for Indian Bend Road between Hayden Road and Scottsdale Road will take about a year and will start in late summer.

The road project, which would provide an all-weather crossing of Indian Bend Wash, will increase capacity from two to four lanes with a landscaped median, turn lanes, bike lanes and sidewalks.

There is a meeting Thursday May 31 if you want more information.

This is indeed good news for McCormick Ranch. In addition to the other new resort being build on the east side of Scottsdale Road, the Ritz-Carlton Project in Paradise Valley will continue to strengthen the resort lifestyle image of McCormick Ranch as well as provide new luxury shopping and gourmet restaurants.

Plans are for the Ritz-Carlton Community to include a 225-room Ritz-Carlton resort hotel, a residential development including villas, luxury homes and one-acre estate lots as well as a mixed-use component to be planned on Scottsdale Road.

According to the Arizona Republic the site includes 105 acres in Paradise Valley and 18 acres in Scottsdale. The Paradise Valley site will include the resort hotel and single-family residences, while the Scottsdale portion will be developed with condos and resort retail.

I don’t have a lot on this home. The tax records show it as 2,005 square feet on a 12,798 square foot lot in Palo Viento 2. It was previously sold on July 25, 2005 (the peak of the boom) for $550,000.

In the homes sales listed in the post below it was a good week for condo/townhouse sales with 10 while there were only 2 single family detached home sales.

I’ve spent a TON of time putting these maps together. I hope you find them very useful.

Just seeing where one subdivision ends and another begins explains a lot about home prices. When you’re running comps on your home, first look within your subdivision. A similar home in your subdivision is a far better comp than a similar home in the subdivision next door.

I would have preferred to have only one large map but Google’s new “My Maps” mapping feature only allows 50 items per map. To show 57 subdivisions I had to break it into two maps, one for north McCormick Ranch and the other for south McCormick Ranch.
