The other day I mentioned that sales in Pima Canyon were beating the pants off sales in every other luxe community in the foothills - chalk up another one for PC. And a few readers wanted to know why, why was PC selling so much better than Ventana CC, La P, Skyline, Cat 10, Hacienda del Sol, etc, etc.
Here’s what I see,
All the homes in Pima Canyon are newer. They’re all built since 2000 and most since 2004 and many in just the last 2 or 3 years. In all the other high-end communities there’s a mix of older and newer homes, but generally, with more older than newer. Also, in PC all the homes are single story, which is not the case in many of the other luxe communities.
And more buyers of high-end homes prefer newer to older, and overwhelmingly, they prefer to live in single story homes. And if you have a nice single story home that tucks quietly into the desert, you don’t want to look at, and have your view blocked by, the monster two story down the street. Or worse yet, face the unknown prospect that at some point, a monster two story may be built next door.
Location, Location…With the growth and popularity of La Encantada, the center of the foothills has been firmly established at Skyline & Campbell, a hop, skip and a jump from PC. Throw in the development on the adjoining three corners and you have an unmatched, in the foothills anyway, selection of shops, boutiques, restaurants, bars and other places to satisfy your cravings and spend your money. And all the while, in a pleasant atmosphere for strolling, seeing and being seen. Go a couple of miles south to River & Campbell and St Phillips Plaza offers yet more ways to feast your eyes and whet your appetite. And if you’re a doc who needs to get to UMC, a lawyer working downtown, or you just want to go to UofA games, living near Skyline & Campbell makes it a breeze.
For those reasons, Pima Canyon fits the bill, while with the other luxe communities it’s hit and miss.
