Philanthropic Roots
August 2010
Working for a company rooted in philanthropy continuously reminds me of perspective. With over $300,000 donated to numerous community charity partners, our unique platform of consistent philanthropic donations supports our community through each real estate endeavor. Each of my successful real estate transactions results in a donation to Phoenix Children’s Hospital or a worthwhile Arizona charity of your choice that benefits those far less fortunate than you and I. If you are considering selling over the next few years, call me and we can discuss maximizing your interests well ahead of time. If you know someone who might like to obtain the Paradise Valley lifestyle for today’s new prices, please have them call me. If you want some additional information on the fine charities you see highlighted in each issue – call me and I’ll never even ask you about buying or selling real estate!
Brief Market Data for Paradise Valley (Inclusive of non-gated areas as well)
• The median home price of Paradise Valley homes is $1.225M versus $1.30M last month, $1.315M last quarter, $1.515M last year and $2.00M two years ago. • The average home in Paradise Valley sold for 89% of list price last month, last quarter and last year. • The average price-per-square-foot for all listed Paradise Valley homes is $456.69. The average price-per-square-foot for the 28 homes currently in escrow is $314.82.
Faith, Hope & Inspiration
• The sales-per-month in Paradise Valley was 25 last month. The average for last quarter was 21. This number is moving up. • The number of Paradise Valley homes listed for sale has reduced to 404 from 470 last quarter, and 534 last year. After looking at the statistics above it’s natural to feel disappointed. But as much as we may pine for the values of 2004-2008, our desires don’t affect value. “Perception is not what is, … it’s what man thinks is.” In our market today, the perception of home values has changed. As much as we don’t embrace this change, we must remember that values are what the market will bear. If you are curious about concrete quantifiable information with which to make your individual informed real estate decisions, you will not find a more interesting statistical analysis than I can provide. One particular set of data I compile will empower you with some simple knowledge you will not find elsewhere. Call me at your convenience.
