planning to move to AZ

[enio45]

I'm considering moving to AZ for better all yr round weather for the car hobby and overall quality of life. House values in Wash DC area are crazy and to be able to build a house with some land with an attached 3 car garage and 6-7 detached cost a few million around DC area.

Anyone with a home to sell with this criteria in Phoenix, Scottsdale surrounding area.....or just your thoughts and opinions about the area?? I believe there are a good number of car enthusiast around this area.

Im planning to retire in the next yr or so and play with the car hobby....so need some space for the toys and work area.

Thanks for the thoughts..

When I lived in Scottsdale it got so hot this time of year we used to go up to Flagstaff to cool off. If I could afford it I'd have two places, one in Scottsdale, one in Flagstaff. Oh yah, but its a dry heat. Just dont leave anything in your car that will melt, like cd's, cassette tapes, etc. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Ed,

There are a few of us crazy enough to live in Phoenix! This time of year, we have daily monsoons...last night a storm rolled through dumping 2 1/2 inches of rain per hour on the city right next to where I live (they ended up getting almost 3 1/2 inches of rain...we ended up with less than one hundreth of an inch....go figure. Daily high temps are right at 100 degrees.

To buy in Scottsdale with what I envision that you're looking for would not be too different as far as the prices in DC. Houses in North Scottsdale routinely sell for 2 1/2 million plus for anything with land.

Northwest Peoria where I live is much more affordable, and you can get a custom house built for a million or less depending on the size.

PM me with what you're looking to find, and I can send photos of what's around me.

[enio45]

Thanks for the thoughts.....im in Phoenix now looking around with a relator...and yes i experienced the rain last nite....it came in fast!! Spent the day looking aroound Gilbert and Chandler area...a few nice customer homes in some new areas with a little over an acre of land. What area do u live in? Today we look up near cave creek area...getting the feel....will be here 2 weeks....maybe squeeze in a cruise nite or two....any around this time of the yr?

[budnate]

Ed roll out where Bruce is at and look around, nice area and my Aunt just moved into Anthem down the road from Bruce..looks like the people and stuff is sprawling that way..If I was looking I would head past Anthem about 20 more miles and buy a hunk of land and do it up if you can get water and power to it.

I dont think you can get what you want in the little towns they are doing you are probably on your own to by a old place and bulldoze or start from scratch. I didnt see anything with detached shops, pretty high end stuff but neatly done with lots of rules.

Bud.

[kenham]

If you're going to be in the state for two weeks you might take a trip up to Prescott (my town), everyone else is moving here so one more shouldn't hurt. Lots of nice big places in Williamson Valley on acreage for 600k to a mil plus. Temps are usually 20 degrees below Phoenix, mild winters but we have the seasons. Several car clubs and old geezers who like cars.
Ken

[Xplantdad]

Prescott is commanding $$$ from what I've seen...also lots of restrictions about building in Prescott proper...

Cave Creek is also a lot of $$$ with TONS of restrictions on what you can and cannot build.

Like Bud said, come out to where I live and check out the area...I live off 67th Ave. and Happy Valley (Northwest Peoria). Less than a mile from where I live are houses in the high 700,000's with more than an acre of land...some of them have 7 car attached garages and then 4 car detached garages with guest quarters..there's one with 8 attached garages http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Housing prices in my neighborhood have gone up $125,000 in the past 2 years... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I will PM you my phone number. Feel free to call me anytime.

Bud, when are you coming back into town?

[Xplantdad]

As far as cruises...check here:

Phoenix area cruises (http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/152010/an/0/page/0#152010)

These occur every Saturday night...monsoons permitting of course! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Stuart Adams]

Ed M, Az is great. Alot of hot rods, and of course BJ auction in Jan. Good luck. The Pavillions in the winter is wild.
Bruce, when my car gets done I will look ya up and come over to the Pavillions and maybe have a brew.

[Xplantdad]

Stuart...the beer is my treat! Do me a favor and bring that Steve Sandlin guy! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Are you going to SCR8 with Steve? I'll buy you guys beers there, too. Now that I think of it...I'm going to have to make an excel spreadsheet to keep track of all the people I that I owe beers! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

This may cost me a bit more than expected! J/K...

[Stuart Adams]

Bruce, I took a rain check for the trip with Steve, I will be in N.C. checking on my car. Steve S. is a great guy. SCR sounds like great fun, enjoy. I will call you when I come over to Scottsdale. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[bilede]

There are lots of nice places around the phoenix area with an acre or so but there is no city these days that will let you do whatever you want as far as building "outbuildings". I have built in phoenix, glendale, scottsdale, tempe (where I live now), and even chino valley outside of prescott and they all have a ton of red tape to get around now. I couldn't get a detached garage approved in tempe and finally had to attach it with a carport to the house for them to let me build what I wanted and even then I had to go to the city council for approval and it took 10 months, for a simple garage that is nuts.. For a place like you describe it comes down to finding it available and in your price range. as bruce said, west valley is cheaper if you want to stay close in to the city otherwise Tonopah to the west, maricopa to the south, apache junction/florence to the east, new river area to the north are still reasonable for land big enough to have a nice detached garage.

Good luck!

[whitetop]

Here is a suggestion:

Move to Southeastern Ohio where I live. You could live like a king with 1 million dollars and rent a condo in AZ during the winter months(with global warming only 3-4 months are really bad nowdays).. Land is super cheap, no crime, no traffic or congestion. Our yearly property tax is probaly what you pay in 1-2 months. Guess what? no building permits or inspectors!! Build what you want.

Columbus (Goodguys, Mopar Nats, Springnationals, Jegs etc) is 1.75 hours away and Pittsburgh in the opposite direction in 1 1/2 hours. Summit Racing is 1 1/2 hrs north. Canfield (swap meets and Hot Rod Super nats is 1 1/4 hrs north), Street Machine Nationsls in Lima is 3 hours west. Carlisle PA (swap meets, GM show, MOpar, Ford show etc etc is 4 hours away exactly). Street Rod Nat's in Louisville is 5 hours south. I live in the car Mecca.

A million dollar house in our area is 3-5 million (or more)in AZ or Wa DC.
My wife and I bought 13 acres of nice rolling/level non stripped ground for 63K and it has restrictions (no trailers, house has to be a certain size etc) but still no building permits or inspectors. The land was more because of the restrictions and we are about 2 miles from I-70. A friend has an old farm(42 acres) about 8-10 miles from I-70 and he's asking 120k and it has a very good older barn and newer Morton 35x45 building though the house needs major work-best to tear it down.

The money you save you can buy a Yenko or another copo for that matter. Plus you don't have to check your shoes for scorpions or rattlesnakes before putting them on.

[MosportGreen66]

I have family who own numerous houses in Scottsdale. WOW - Area is up and coming. Rapid, almost overnight property price increase and a steady market. Consistant selling/buying/renting prices with buyers eager and ready to pull th trigger. Good Luck! Talk to Cousin Bucie!

[Xplantdad]

A lot of the people who have moved here recently are from California...They've taken their equity and run...most can buy a house with just their equity earnings...and spend the rest on fun stuff. Plus, your only an hour away from SoCal by air (or ~5 hours by car...if you set your cruise at 80+mph). Sure it gets hot here...but that why we have A/C and pools....and palm trees and monsoons! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gifhttp://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[whitetop]

No twisters/tornadoes were I live at. Applacian hill country. The tops of the mountains and steep deep valleys kill the tornadoes before they can start-they need level ground.

We do have "Deliverance" type of people where I live though. Just don't step on their land or you might get shot. West Virginia is right across the Ohio river of course. My wife is a horse veterinarian and some of the people that live back in those "hollers" are just plain scary. I can take you to places that are like out of a twilight zone episode. Unbelievable that people still live that way (no electricity/plumbing/no bridges-drive through creeks to get to their houses etc). I was out on Fish Creek W.Va last month checking out for old cars and trust me the confederate rebel flags are still waiving...I saw 3 or 4

[Xplantdad]

I hear ya Whitetop. I used to live in Huntsville Alabama. We would take frequent trips to Tennesee and Kentucky to visit...Even in 1969 as a kid...I couldn't believe that there were whole neigborhoods that didn't have plumbing, etc. They had outhouses and crap everywhere. If I remember right, these were also in the hills.

[enio45]

Well, another day looking...did the north of scottsdale...did not even get into scottsdale as the prices did not meet the criteria..meaning under a mil!!!! Looked at cave creek and desert hills area and have found a few fairly new places....3600 sq ft house, 4 br, mother in law seperate building and very large double RV garage for 950 and no pool. man i loved that garage.....seems these garage structures are allowed and have to be designed consistent with the house look, whick is fine for me...i very big on conformance for overall appearance...was on a busy rd though!! Also found a new build, with plenty of land where i can build the structure and pool. Im hearing 50 dollars a sq ft for garage space. Today we are on our own, and maybe i adjust the criteria....go with a track home instead of a custom home and buy a warehouse?? will look into some commercial property.

bruce , ill give u a call today...man this is tough going.

[enio45]

Whitetop, i hear ya...im from aliquippa pa, and for a mil around that area i could own alot ...but, the better half is not too keen on the idea...little too rural for us..want some neighbors fairly close by. Also the wifes parents are out in AZ...so we will continue to find something that works for both of us...i like these RV garage structures out here...seems very accepted and i assume i can do what i want inside? THe one i saw yesterday was 50 x 42...gigantic !!!

Yeah, but it's a pretty nice subdivision!!!


Ed, you can definitely find what you're looking for out there, but doing it in a couple weeks is extremely difficult at best. We just bought a house there in June, but we've been vacationing there for 11 years, so we have come to know the metro Phoenix area pretty well. Bruce can help steer you in the right direction http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Xplantdad]

I'm thinking Bill knows this area better than I do...and he lives in Illinois! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

[enio45]

Agree, doing this in 2 weeks is tough, might need more time, but i have this 1031 exchange happening on a property i just sold, so would like to use the $$ to find what we need. My wifes parents live in sun lakes so we have spent time here and that is why we decided to move out. Looking over the last days, we assessed the subdivision approach and have decided it will not do want we need..so the custom home on the acre+ lot gives us the room we need for the cars and house style the wife needs.

This weekend....ill scope out Bruce's area...it looks very promising....if not we will wait for the right one to come avail...i would like to build, but not sure i to go that route yet. Bruce, call u today and line up saturday visit!! I will bring a few cold ones for the efforts!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, tempe is land locked by phoenix, mesa, and chandler so raw land is extremely hard to find so the current trend is to purchase an older home on acre + lot, tear down the house and rebuild what you want. most recent deal like this in my area paid 1.2 mil for 2 homes next to each other and is now building a 4500 sq ft garage (looks like a barn from the outside) and has a underground tunnel running to where the new home is going to be built when garage is done. sort of an attached detached garage thing I guess.. Tempe is a great community, excellent schools, and central to the valley which I think is its primary draws but it is more expensive because these things also. Price of anything with area to have a big garage is minimum $600k on up.

Also, about a mile south of tempe is steller airpark estates. I put an offer in on a property a year or so ago but got out bid by $1k at the deadline. I was going to build a hanger which is expected obviously and use it for my cars but later decided to just modified my existing house.. I believe there are homes in there available and possibly other lots too. really nice homes in a nice area.

Ed,

It was a pleasure to meet you and your wife today...hopefully you saw something that you liked...or gave you the ideas that will help you further your search, How did the meeting with the real estate agent go...did you guys check out that one property we saw for sale?

Anyways, keep in touch. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[enio45]

Bruce, kimberly and i would like to thank you and your wife and daughter for taking the time to look around. Your tour was better than the realtor...and we saw some awsome houses that would fit what we are looking for!! We will take this week to see what else comes up and decide which way to go. Sorry we missed the cruise nite, it looked great from the pics. Thanks again for the hospitality !! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Xplantdad]

Ed and Kimberly...let me know any way that I can help you out. Isn't that what this site is all about? That and discussing cool stuff about cars... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I will definitely be on the lookout for places that may become available.

[enio45]

Looks like we are in for a move to AZ in the next yr...closing on a house in Gilbert in mid Oct this yr....have the builder out there now checking out the room for the detached garage for the toys. hope to build a 20 x40, and with the 3 car on the house, i can store 4 in the new garage on the double parks and have the rest of the room for work.

Will need to send out an RFP for a enclosed trailer to move 6-7 cars http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif.

Looking forward to getting there and enjoying the area and car clubs....Bruce and all, thank you for the comments, advise and discussion.
