This sign had one job 😂

Comment WEEKLEY27 and I’ll keep you posted on what’s coming here.

Spotted this by Greenfield and Pecos in Gilbert.

So which way do you turn?

But once you figure it out, the homes going in here look pretty sweet.

David Weekley Homes is building Granview at Somerset. It’s a gated community with just 75 homes.

Here’s what they’ve shared so far:

Quarter-acre and half-acre lots
One- and two-story plans, about 3,700 to 5,500 sq ft
RV garage plans
Basement plans. Yes, a basement. In Arizona.
Pickleball, basketball, trails, fire pits, and a lake

The builder is planning to open in early 2027.

Pricing? Not out yet. That’s the part everybody’s waiting on.

With only 75 homes, the best lots won’t sit long once numbers drop. You’ll want to hear about it early, not after the good ones are gone.

Comment WEEKLEY27 and I’ll send you pricing and floor plans as soon as they’re released.

Just don’t follow the arrow. 🏡

Details from David Weekley Homes and subject to change.

In 1948, he moved into a CAVE.. yes a cave… in the San Tan Mountains.

Gilbert was “too crowded” in 1948. 🌵

At least that’s what one local thought. So he packed up and spent the next 40 years living in the desert.

Now Ladera Trails is going up right next to where he lived. Comment “LADERA26” to see it. 👇

His story is wild. Watch the video for the full thing.

The best part? You can still hike to where he’s buried.

Toll Brothers is building a gated section at Ladera Trails. Taylor Morrison is building right alongside them. And there’s a regional park next door.

Would you have made the same move?

Comment “LADERA26” and I’ll send you the Ladera Trails builders, pricing, and what’s open right now.

Builder rates just went up. But that’s not the whole story. 📈

Comment NEW26 and I’ll send you the details.

This week, two East Valley builders raised their promo rates.

One went up half a point.
The other went up about three-quarters of a point.

So what did buyers get back?

Time.

Both builders pushed their closing deadlines out to spring 2027.

Others added new ways to save. Flex cash. Design discounts. Closing cost help. New phases with first pick of lots.

Builders aren’t pulling back. They’re just changing the deal.

The best one for you comes down to your timeline and your monthly payment.

Swipe to see every deal this week. 👉

Then comment NEW26 and let’s talk about your new build.

Pulte’s rate at Harvest just went up. But there’s a twist. 🏡

Comment NEW26 and I’ll send you the details.

Harvest Enchantment Series in Queen Creek.

Last week: 3.99% 7/6 ARM (5.336% APR)
This week: 4.75% 7/6 ARM (5.731% APR)

The twist? You get an extra month to close.
Homes can now close by April 30, 2027.

It’s an ARM, so after year 7 the rate can adjust.

Pulte’s separate savings offer of up to $160,000 is still there. That one ends Oct 31.

More time can be worth a higher rate. It all comes down to your payment.

Want me to compare the numbers for you?

Comment NEW26 and let’s talk about your new build.

Terms per Pulte, subject to change. Ryan Meeks, Compass.

Tri Pointe raised its rate. Then gave buyers way more time to close. ⏳

Comment NEW26 and I’ll send you the details.

Soleo and Terraza in San Tan Valley.

FHA 30-year fixed: 5.49% (6.746% APR)
Plus up to $7,500 toward closing costs.

That rate is half a point higher than last week.
But you used to have to close by December.

Now? Sign by Oct 30. Close by April 2, 2027.

The fine print:
• Full list price
• Owner-occupied only
• Must finance with Tri Pointe Connect

Not using FHA? Tri Pointe also has conventional offers on select hom

This is the ugly guide I’ve sent buyers since 2019.

Most of my clients are moving here from Chicago, the Bay Area, or Denver.

They can’t shake my hand. They can’t tour a house with me yet.

So they judge me by what hits their inbox first.

For years, that was clip art, bad fonts, and a cactus photo I didn’t even take. 🌵

So I dropped the old PowerPoint into Gamma 5.

It didn’t just start building. It asked me a question first.

Then it showed me an outline before it designed a single slide.

I moved two things around and let it go.

Same words. Same numbers. It just looks like I hired a designer.

Then I gave it one prompt for a Gilbert neighborhood guide.

Three runs. Three totally different decks. None of them look like AI made them.

The before and after is at the end. You tell me which one you’d hire.

If you send guides, listings, or proposals to people who’ve never met you, that file is your first impression.

You don’t need a designer. You don’t need to lose a weekend in PowerPoint either.

This tower has stood over south Chandler for decades. Soon it’ll be gone. 🏗️

Most people drive past it on Basha Road and never think twice. But this is where it all started for Bashas’. The very first store opened right here in 1932. Later, it became the company’s headquarters.

Now the land just sold for $16 million. K. Hovnanian is building 107 homes. And the tower? It never got its own vote. Once the land was rezoned, it was just in the way. All that’s left will be a sign with its silhouette.

Should Chandler have saved it? Tell me in the comments. 👇

Chandler’s changing fast. So is the rest of the Valley. And if you’re thinking about moving here, the hardest part isn’t picking a house. It’s picking the right area.

Comment “MATCHME” and I’ll send you my free quiz. It matches you to the Phoenix-area neighborhood that fits your life best.

Kind of like Tinder but for houses… and hopefully a longer term relationship with that home. Not just an empty fling.

Disclaimer: I’ve never been on Tinder and I’m not familiar with it exactly.

This land in Paradise Valley is worth a fortune. But nobody’s ever built on it.

Most people drive right past it on McDonald Drive and wonder how it got there. There’s no sign. No big gate.

Well… I did too.

The story behind it starts with a wedding in 1915. And a groom who didn’t make it a month.

(I think he might have been poisoned but that’s another video)

Today about 900 people rest on these two acres. Flu victims. Veterans. A champion rodeo cowboy. Even the Herbergers, the names behind Kierland Commons.

In one of the priciest towns in Arizona, this land isn’t going anywhere.

Did you know this story?? Tell me in the comments. 👇

Thinking about a move to Paradise Valley or anywhere in the Valley?

Comment PARADISE and I’ll send you the homes for sale there right now.

A tire company built its own town in Chandler.
Then walked away just a few years later.

Comment “2725” for this listing. But first, the story 👇

In 1917, World War I cut off America’s Egyptian cotton.
Big problem for Goodyear. Their tires needed it.

So they came to Chandler and leased 8,000 acres.
Planted Pima cotton as far as you could see.

Then they built a whole town and named it after themselves.
Movie theater. Hospital. School. Grocery store.

When the war ended, cotton prices crashed.
Goodyear packed up and left.

Almost nothing is left today...
Except two things. And you’ve probably shopped at one of them.

Watch till the end to see which ones.

A few miles east, off Ocotillo Road, sits Fonte al Sole.
That’s roughly Italian for “fountain of the sun.”

Fitting, for a place that only exists because someone brought water to the desert.

If you want room for everyone, a big lot, and a Chandler address with a story behind it, this one’s worth a look:

✅ 4 beds, 3 baths
✅ Over 4,100 sq ft
✅ Almost a quarter acre lot
✅ Teen room plus a den
✅ Private sitting room off the primary suite
✅ Asking $899,000

Comment “2725” and I’ll send you the full details on this home.

Is it really worth it??

It definitely sucks going into August and early September.

The heat just drags on and wears ya down…

ACs break and cost thousands to get fixed…

September, most of the country are posting images of gold colored falling leaves and hats and flannels.

I am a bit envious when I see those..

But…

When I think about what the Midwest just went through for a summer.. (a lot of floods tornados and from what I saw “sh*tty” weather) - or that’s at least how my mom described it-

I’d say yeah… it’s worth it.

I’m reminded too of the shortness fall has been lately and the extra long, neverending winters that seem to drag into May.

Yeah we miss people though. So there’s that…

After being here almost 10 years…

I’m just glad we picked the right spot in AZ..

If you’re thinking of moving here, there’s so much noise to filter through it can be hard to know where to begin.

That’s why I created the “ultimate guide for families relocating to Arizona.”

It’s packed with the best neighborhoods in each suburb, including North Phoenix.

So you don’t need to hit up ChatGPT.

The best part of this house isn’t inside...

It’s the new cook station out back.

Built-in grill. Patio bar. So whoever’s cooking stays at the party instead of stuck in the kitchen.

And the rest of the backyard backs it up:

Play pool with a new chiller/heater, so it’s cool in July and warm in January

Pergola and stone accents

Big grassy area for the kids or the dog

Or make a little man cave or she shed.

Misters and outdoor speakers

Inside, there’s room for everybody.

4 bedrooms, plus a bonus room and a den.

Pass-through 3-bay tandem garage
Central vacuum
Smart Wi-Fi thermostats
Big laundry room
Fresh exterior paint
4,100 square feet

Most Chandler homes give you a pool and a patio...

But if you want a big lot where your summer nights happen outside, without giving up space inside, this one belongs on your list.

Comment “2725” and I’ll send you the photos, details, and a time to come see it 🔥

The ‘90s are coming to Gilbert Regional Park. And you’ll want to get there by 4:30. ⬇️

If you grew up in the ‘90s, you already know every word.

But get there early… Here’s why.

Wyves (local AZ indie rock) at 5:00
Spin Doctors at 7:00
Blues Traveler at 8:30

Tickets are $50 now and $60 day-of. Kids 11 and under are free, but they still need a ticket.

Know before you go:

No ATMs on site.
One sealed water bottle per person.

Food from Guac On Up, Bahama Bucks, Horney’s Hot Dogs, Juicy Slice and more. SanTan Brewing is running the bar.

Want a cabana? They start at $850 and they’re almost gone.

This is exactly the kind of stuff I send out every week in the East Valley Beat. Concerts, new openings, and what’s coming to Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa and Queen Creek before everyone else hears about it.

Comment “BEAT” and I’ll send you the ticket link and get you on the list. 🎶
