Solar: Does anyone care?
As the first Realtor in AZ involved with the EPA’s Energy Star for Homes Program, we have been very involved with understanding the entire “building science” initiative and changes continue to improve the overall efficiency of our homes. At Encanterra®, like other communities, the homes built when we first opened do not have the same features as today’s homes. We could not obtain Shea Xero in Continue Reading
Landscaping and Maintenance
Is this a factor for buyers and does it affect the value of the neighborhood? No doubt, homesites are tighter and everyone’s looking for some privacy. As our community is growing, our older plants and trees are maturing. Many have outgrown their intended space and are now infringing on neighbor’s properties. That tree than your landscaper planted 6’ from your neighbor’s wall or lot line or Continue Reading
Pools: Should I build a pool or buy a house that has one?
Less than 5% of all Encanterra® homeowners have a pool. Of course, we have the best resort pools on the planet so many think, “Why deal with my own?" On the other side, privacy along with the amazing look and feel of a pool creates an inviting environment. If buying or building a pool, spending $50,000 or so is typically not necessary and if your home ever needs to be appraised, you will not get Continue Reading

Across the entire Phoenix area, an average buyer will spend around 15-18% in total design center options. Most builders want a second deposit for any items that exceed 20% of the base purchase price. Builders feel you’re out building the neighborhood and Continue Reading
Dual Agency; what is it & what does this mean for you?

This is a huge win/win for you the seller as it puts us in the driver’s seat for many factors relating to the transaction. If no agent is involved we eliminate an outside agent who perhaps is generally new to the area or has limited Continue Reading

Lot premiums or choosing non-standard lots, is this a good move?
With over 25 years of true full time Real Estate experience in the entire valley and 1700 transactions here is our assessment. Buyers coming from other parts of the country are shocked to see block fences and homes 10’ apart. With land cost continuing to go up builders are forced into squeezing more homes per acre. As long as lot premiums are reasonable, and that’s subjective, then of course the Continue Reading
