Happy Halloween from all of us.

Hope your street is the one with the good candy, the costume survives the evening, and somebody's porch light is still on by the time you get to the end of the road.

Have fun out there tonight.

Guess the price. Four clues, then the number.

An acre inside a small gated community in Peoria. Four beds, five baths, 5,938 square feet, single level, not a step in the house. Viking and Sub-Zero in the kitchen, two dishwashers. Heated pool and spa with a swim up bar redone in 2024. Circular drive, four garage bays, room for an RV.

We posted this one as a new listing last Wednesday, so if you already know the answer, let everyone else guess first. 😉

What is your number?

Two weeks ago I retired Scottsdale's pricing gap as a storyline and said the supply numbers were the ones actually worth watching. They just made the case. Inventory added 111 homes to reach 1,461, a fourth straight build and 342 homes across four readings. Over the same stretch price per square foot climbed to $497, the highest this series has recorded, and days on market fell to 109, the lowest. All three have now moved together four readings running: more homes arriving, prices firming, and the ones that sell going faster. That is not the pattern a softening market produces, and unlike the gap it has not reversed once. One correction in the other direction, though, because it cuts both ways. The gap I called noise has now held its direction twice. Scottsdale's new listings came in at $1,350,000 against a $1,325,000 median, a second consecutive reading above the standing market, and Paradise Valley has printed above three times running with its gap collapsing from $2.1 million to $475,000. Both are converging. Two readings and three readings are still only two and three, so it stays off the headline, but it held and that is worth saying. Paradise Valley also added 14 homes to reach 168, the most inventory I have recorded there, while its median eased to $5,725,000 and price per square foot held at $1,035, a fifth straight reading above a thousand dollars. Flagstaff went on being Flagstaff. The median list price printed exactly $875,000 for a seventh time. What did move is rent, down $100 to $2,400, the first change in that number since August, alongside new listings up $62,000 to $812,000. This one is a two week read.

Just listed in Peoria. An acre inside the gates, and not one step anywhere in the house.

8095 W Expedition Way sits on a cul de sac in Casa De Sunrise, a small gated community of single level homes. Four bedrooms, five baths, 5,938 square feet, built in 2007 on 46,012 square feet, which is just over an acre.

The plan is split, so the primary wing keeps its own side of the house. That wing has a jetted soaking tub, a walk-in closet built out with drawers and hanging space, and a new stacked washer and dryer put where you actually want one. The other side holds an ensuite bedroom with its own courtyard access and two more joined by a Jack and Jill bath, plus an office and a bonus room.

The kitchen is the one to see in person. Viking appliances, a Sub-Zero, a commercial gas range under a limestone hood surround, a warming drawer and two dishwashers, all in whitewashed custom cabinetry. In the formal living room a Cantera stone slab fireplace anchors the whole space.

Then the back of the house. A covered patio runs its entire length, and past it a heated pool and spa with a swim up bar updated in 2024 and its own barbecue. Out front, a circular drive and four garage bays, with room along the side for an RV behind a dual gate.

4 beds. 5 baths. 5,938 square feet. 1.06 acres. Built 2007. Listed at $3,900,000. The association runs $886 a month.

Single level on an acre is a short list in this valley. If that is the list you have been waiting on, come and walk it. 480.688.8808

Which would you get more use out of, the office or the bonus room.

Flagstaff falls below freezing on 204 nights a year. Your house is up there for all of them. You may not be.

There are things to be aware of when owning a second home in a winter climate and every generic winterizing article online is written for a house somebody lives in year round.

Here is what the numbers say. The average October overnight low in Flagstaff is 31.5 degrees, so the season has already started. Eighteen October nights reach freezing in an average year, then 28 in November and 30 in December. It is an easy thing to be a month late to.

The part most people miss is the daytime. Fourteen days a year the temperature never climbs above freezing at all, from one night straight through to the next. A pipe that froze at four in the morning does not quietly thaw at lunchtime on those days. Seven days a year the low reaches zero or below, and the coldest reading in the record is thirty below, from January 1937, in a record that runs back to 1898.

So, five things on the way out the door. Disconnect the garden hoses. Find the main shutoff and check that it actually turns. Open the cabinet doors under any sink on an exterior wall. Drain the irrigation and any pool supply line. And leave the heat at 55 degrees, which is the lowest the Red Cross says to go when you are away, set to the same number day and night. None of it takes an afternoon.

One more thing worth doing before you drive down. Call your insurer and ask what your policy says about a dwelling left unoccupied, and for how long. That answer varies by carrier, and it is not something to discover after a claim.

If you own up here and spend part of the year somewhere warmer, it is worth having somebody who can put eyes on the place after a hard freeze. 480.688.8808

Scottsdale number: Six weeks of narrowing down to $7,000, then back out to $101,000, and now new listings arriving at $1,350,000 against a $1,300,000 median, which puts them $50,000 above the standing market for the first time since I started this. A $151,000 swing in seven days. A weekly median of whatever happened to list that week is a small sample and it behaves like one. What is not noise is the rest of the Scottsdale page, and it is the more interesting half anyway. Inventory built a third straight week to 1,350, up 231 homes across three weeks. Price per square foot reached $492, the highest this series has recorded, after sitting at exactly $485 for four straight weeks in the summer. Days on market fell to 112. More homes arriving, prices firming and homes moving faster is not the combination most people expect from a building market, and that is worth watching far more than the gap is. Flagstaff did something I have not seen it do, which is nothing at all. Median list $875,000 for a sixth print, new listings $750,000, and the gap between them $125,000, all three identical to last week to the dollar. Only price per square foot moved, down four dollars to $387, with inventory easing to 367 and days on market at 120. Paradise Valley held its direction for once, new listings above the standing median a second week running at $7,995,000 against $5,872,500, though that gap narrowed by about $477,000. Price per square foot there is $1,037, a fourth straight reading above a thousand dollars and another high. Full breakdown in the slides. 📊

Your house may not have any comparable sales. Here is what actually happens then.

A lender appraisal has to report at least three closed comparables. Fannie Mae's guide says so. Across most of Scottsdale that is a morning's work. Above a certain price it stops being possible, and nobody tells sellers what replaces it.

Start with how thin the top is. In June, 27 luxury single family homes sold in the whole of Paradise Valley. Every sale above the $1.7 million threshold, the entire town, one month. When a town produces 27 sales, the odds that three resemble one particular estate are not good.

The problem is not secrecy. Arizona attaches an affidavit of legal value to every recorded deed, stating the price paid. This is not a non-disclosure state. You can find what the neighbors paid. What you cannot find is a house like yours.

Size alone breaks it. Silverleaf closings this year ran from 2,752 square feet to 10,497, around a median of 5,587, across 43 sales. Same gates, same streets, same club, and nearly four times the size range end to end. A price per square foot averaged over that spread describes no house that exists.

So appraisers stretch. The 12 month window is a should, not a must. Older sales are allowed where they are the better indicator, provided the appraiser explains why. In a thin market the honest comparable is often more than a year old and arrives carrying a time adjustment.

When comparables run out, two approaches are left. Cost is the usual fallback, built from replacement cost manuals, and the Arizona School of Real Estate makes the catch itself: those manuals estimate replacement cost rather than reproduction cost, which leaves the fallback least reliable on exactly the custom homes that needed it.

Which is why a list price up here is a hypothesis. Paradise Valley luxury sellers got 94.55 percent of asking in June, and it took a median of 89 days to find out.

Any agent can hand you a figure. Ask which sales it came from, how old they are, how far away, and what was adjusted to make them fit. 480.688.8808

The house does not come with the club.

It is the most expensive misunderstanding in Arizona club communities, and the rule differs at every gate.

At Forest Highlands every property owner is a member automatically. The association owns both courses, both clubhouses and the roads, so there is no HOA bill plus a club bill. There is one, and for 2026 it is $1,525 a month. Worth saying before the figures get bigger: none of it is a fee for nothing. It is what people come here to buy.

Twenty minutes away at Flagstaff Ranch membership is mandatory, but you choose between Resident Golf and Resident Social and the initiation is due in full at purchase. You do not inherit the seller's. You buy a new one.

In Scottsdale, Desert Mountain says it plainly: all property owners are members of the HOA, whether or not they are members of the Desert Mountain Club. Mirabel and Whisper Rock say the same.

Three communities, three different rules.

Then the closing table. At Forest Highlands a buyer owes $124,250 above the price: a $115,750 capital contribution, a $3,000 membership transfer, and $5,500 to move utilities because the association owns its own water company. I can only tell you that because they publish it. In DC Ranch, which is where Silverleaf sits, every sale carries a half percent Benefit Fee. On five million dollars that is $25,000.

Here is the part almost everyone gets wrong, agents included. Arizona does cap association fees at $400. That cap is for preparing disclosure documents. It does not touch a percentage of sale price, which is a different fee under a different statute, and Arizona REALTORS have said so in print.

Last thing, and it is why I made this. Of nine clubs I checked, one publishes what membership costs. The other eight route you to a phone number, which is their right and is how private clubs generally work. It does mean every figure online for them is somebody's estimate, and some sheets still circulating up here are nine years old.

Ask the club, in writing, before you write the offer. 480.688.8808
