Holiday Lights Battle…Grayhawk vs DC Ranch

December 2, 2009 by Carmen Brodeur

Grayhawk and DC Ranch are very competitive with each other. They are two of the most prominent communities in Scottsdale and both try to out do the other with spectacular holiday light displays every year on the corner of Pima Road and Thompson Peak Parkway. I have lived in the area for over a decade and I have seen this progress over many years. DC Ranch was the clear winner for many years but the tide has turned. The holiday lights display for Grayhawk is fantastic this year. Grayhawk has marched all over DC Ranch and won hands down.

Grayhawk has a multi-color light display featuring all of the native plants and cactus in their landscaping. The saguaro’s are outlined in green, the ocotillo are white and red etc. I highly recommend a night time drive through the area. It is definitely worth seeing. Grayhawk has put a lot of time, effort and expense into making sure they have the superior light display in North Scottsdale.

Grayhawk Golf Club Welcomes the PGA Tour this Week

October 20, 2009 by Carmen Brodeur

Grayhawk Golf Club is the place to be this weekend in Scottsdale. The PGA Frys.com Open is this week at Grayhawk. The tournament tees off on Thursday and continues through Sunday. This is the third year Grayhawk Golf Club has hosted this PGA tour event. Last year there were 34,450 people attend and this year they expect 45,000 or more. This is a much smaller event than the FBR Open which plays at the TPC Golf Course down the street every January. That is a distinct advantage to the fans, according to the tour promoters. You feel like you are “part of the golf action” instead of just watching from the crowd. Scottsdale is one of only two cities that have two PGA Tour events. Another indication of Scottsdale’s worldwide reputation for golf. Join the crowd and watch the top players compete for a $5 Million purse and a first prize of $900,000.

An even better way to watch the players is from your very own Grayhawk Golf Course home or condo. This is the weekend that everyone who owns a Grayhawk Golf Course home will be in their backyards watching the action from their private sanctuaries. Click to view all Grayhawk Golf Course View Homes and Condos or call us for a personal tour of Scottsdale golf homes and condos.

The Perfect Way to Buy a Condo Long Distance

October 17, 2009 by Carmen Brodeur

Congratulations to the Allan’s of Calgary, AB for an incredible deal! This family did everything right when searching and buying a condo long distance from Canada. First they contacted me and told me exactly what they wanted and what they wanted to spend: under $200,000

Resort Style Edge at Grayhawk — Edge at Grayhawk

for a pool view 2 bedroom condo. Well deals like that are extremely rare. Most pool view condos in Scottsdale are much higher than $200,000. I set them up on an automatic email alert program so that they received an email whenever a new property they may be interested in hit the market.

One such condo hit the market on Friday morning, they called me immediately. It was a gorgeous fully updated 2 bedroom plus loft condo in the Edge at Grayhawk with a perfect pool view from the living room, both bedrooms and spacious balcony, all new stainless steel appliances. The original owner paid $435,000 and now it was priced at $179,900! That is a steal of a deal and they knew it. They immediately put in an offer for almost full price before a bidding war started. If they had they waited to fly down to view the property there definitely would have been multiple offers within a few days. Because they offered almost the full list price on the very first day on the market they got it. The competition from all of the other buyers looking for the same thing was avoided. Now that is acting smart! They now have 10 full days to fly down to look at the condo. If they change their mind or don’t like it they get all of their earnest money back. It is that simple.

If you are looking for a specific type of condo in Scottsdale we would be happy to help you. Just let me know what you are looking for and I can send you automatic VIP email alerts whenever new properties come on the market. The best way to get a deal is to snatch it up fast. The early bird gets the worm. Email me at Carmen@TopScottsdaleHomes.com or visit our website GrayhawkRealEstate.com

Update on the Grayhawk Real Estate Foreclosure Market

October 15, 2009 by Carmen Brodeur

There are relatively few foreclosure homes and condos in Grayhawk compared to other areas of Scottsdale. Grayhawk is a more “mature” community and did not have a lot of construction during the boom years of 2003-2004. As a result there are not as many foreclosures. In newer communities where people built homes at the top of the market there are many bank owned homes. With their homes now worth half of what they owe many people are walking away. We are seeing most of the foreclosures in Grayhawk in the condo and townhomes. Many of these were either rental investments or vacation homes. It is easy to walk away from your investment or second home when times are tough.

Interested in viewing any Scottsdale foreclosures? We would be happy to give you a personalized foreclosure tour anywhere in Scottsdale. Call us at (602) 791-0536 or visit our website http://www.GrayhawkRealEstate.com.
