When you are looking at home listings in the Scottsdale area you will often see the description “Desert Landscaping.”  What exactly does that mean?  Scottsdale is typically desert terrain complete with saguaros, other forms of cactus and a number of distinctive trees and bushes.  Homes are built upon parcels of land carved out of this unique desert setting and are scattered among areas known as “NAOS,” or Natural Area Open Space.  Almost two thirds of Scottsdale, north of the Central Arizona Canal, is affected by the Environmentally Sensitive Lands Ordinance (ESLO) which dictates how much land must be left in its natural condition. (Here is a link to the Scottsdale Government website relating to this subject.) Many homeowners choose to have a more natural looking front yard by using des...

LIVING IN CAREFREE ARIZONA Carefree Arizona has the most beautiful desert and mountain views around.  I love the mountains with their huge boulders and the beautiful homes that sit inside the mountain barely to be seen.  The city has a small town feel and is very quaint. I had the opportunity to dine at the Carefree Station bar and grill last weekend which is now on my list for the best food I have ever had.  Whether you are looking to buy a home here or take the weekend off to enjoy an art show you won't be disappointed. How many homes can you see in the picture below?   AVAILABLE HOMES IN CAREFREE ARIZONA

Carefree Arizona Real Estate Market Report August 2011   By looking deeper into the year to year stats of homes sales in Carefree Arizona we are seeing that the Carefree market has slowed down a bit from August of 2011.  This is quite unusual and there is only one other town in Maricopa County that has fewer sales this August as compared to last August. All other Maricopa County towns are way ahead of last years stats, some by as much as 40% more sales this August than last August Carefree Arizona Active Listings are down 21% as compared to August of 2010 We all know the media likes to 'take a bite' on any negative piece of news to make it appear as if the real estate market is doom and gloom.  It is not!  We expect sales to continue on a upward trend  this next year due to low home pri...
