APPRECIATION RATE IS DECLINING AS INVENTORY GROWS The appreciation rate is declining now that inventory is growing. Appreciation can be measured in many different ways, but based on the monthly average of $/SqFt, the appreciation rate for all areas and types within the ARMLS database is now below 30%, having peaked at over 39% at the end of May. Obviously the rate based on the annual average $/SqFt is slower to react and is now leveling off near its peak at 24.4%.
Rosewood Homes Announces Two New Neighborhoods At Storyrock In Scottsdale Award-winning Scottsdale-based Rosewood Homes will begin development for two luxury home neighborhoods within the new 462-acre Storyrock community in North Scottsdale, located just east of Troon Mountain. Rosewood will offer two of Storyrock’s premier neighborhoods with sweeping views of the McDowell Mountains, Four Peaks and Troon Mountain along with access to over 150 miles of established trails within the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, and just a few minutes from fine dining, world-class golf and more. Rosewood Canyon at Storyrock will offer 19 well-detailed homes ranging from approximately 3,650 to 4,250 square feet in a gorgeous setting with open space on three sides. Rosewood’s 37 home Rosewood Highlands at Storyrock will be located on one of the highest elevations in Storyrock with inspiring mountain views with homes ranging from approximately 4,050 to over 5,700 square feet. Rosewood is known for exquisite attention to detail and energy-conscious features in construction. Each Rosewood residence at Storyrock is designed to provide seamless indoor/outdoor living with large picture windows, disappearing walls of glass, courtyards, outdoor fireplaces and more, including an optional 600 square foot view deck.
Both measures of appreciation are likely to fall further over the rest of 2021, though they are unlikely to get back down to what we might consider normal during the next four months. Normal would be something less than 5%. We last saw that in 2016. Even in a seller's market, not everything sells. 'Anticipatory Pricing' (pricing above 'market value' in anticipation of bids) will likely cost time and ironically discourage offers from those who will pay the most - and that would be the motivated buyers 'hovering', as it were, waiting for that next best value to hit the market; understanding they will likely have to compete for the best. Sellers achieve the highest price by Competitive Positioning - being perceived as the 'next best value' to the 'hoverers'.
Yes You Can! Beth Currier was a horse-loving girl in Los Angeles when she contracted polio in 1955 at the age of twelve. Her doctor said she would never walk again, let alone ride her horse, but he didn’t know Beth. Two years later, she traded her wheelchair for the back of a horse as part of her therapy. You can imagine the thrill every time she was lifted out of that wheelchair and into a saddle. Besides restoring her mobility and upper body strength, the freedom was exhilarating! Beth wanted to bring the same joy to other people who were also told, “You can’t.” In 1981, she moved to a one-acre ranch in Nipomo and started giving free rides to the disabled. By 1983, she had outgrown that ranch and moved to an eight-acre parcel on the Mesa in Arroyo Grande. Beth has been an activist for the disabled for many years. Through her efforts, RAD received the Service Organization of the Year award in 2003. Beth loves her work; her enthusiasm and positive attitude are infectious, but her biggest reward is seeing the smiling faces on the folks who were told they couldn’t. RanchodelosAnimales.org
RAD provides a free ranch experience for the disabled that includes therapeutic horsebackriding, a farm animal petting zoo and volunteering.

Sonoran Desert landscape favorites
Lisa: Ironwood Tree - The Ironwood tree is the desert's diamond-in-the -rough. Seen in its native habitat, the Ironwood can be unassuming and easily unnoticed. Given the proper grooming and shaping they become a statement piece for a well designed and landscaped yard. The silver bark and seasonal purple flowers are unique and impressionable.
“Storyrock is an incredibly gorgeous and unique property so we’ve designed updated versions of our most popular homes plus some new plans, architectural styles and some exciting new features exclusively for Storyrock,” says David Kitnick, president and founder of Rosewood Homes.
Matt: Flowering Bush - Chuparosa plan - They are a must have! It attracts the eight different species of hummingbirds that you find in Arizona and is a great addition to your landscaping, hence the nickname hummingbird bush. For a short time, it bears succulent leaves. It loses those leaves and then produces plentiful tubular flowers, usually in shades of bright to deep red, or sometimes yellow. This fruit is also edible - you can add them to salad!
Pre-sales are expected to begin this fall followed by and a Model Home Grand Opening in 2022. To learn more, contact Lisa Lucky at 602.320.8415 or email us at All.Lucky@RussLyon.com.
Laura: Texas Ebony - Under ideal conditions, it grows to 30 feet tall with an equal spread and is incredibly drought tolerant. It's a very full tree so if you want to camouflage another house or block wall, it's a great plant for filling things in. Beware! Birds love to make nests in these plants as they are thick and the thorns provide shelter from owls and larger predators.
