Whether you are buying or selling in PebbleCreek, furniture is a big, heavy and expensive issue. When I was moving here from the East coast, I knew most of my furniture was simply not going to work with the Southwest architecture. So… most of it was left behind (the moving truck still weighed 2,000 […]
Believe it or not, you won’t need a checkbook or any immediate cash to make an offer on a PebbleCreek home.
That’s right. It is typical for an offer to be written, presented and accepted before any money changes hands.
You can expect that your offer on a resale home will include a provision that you will deposit […]
Many sellers will include a home warranty as part of their “package” to attract buyers. However, if a home does not come with a home warranty already in place, the Arizona contract to purchase a resale home forces the questions: Do I want a home warranty? From what company? Am I going to ask […]
When I was choosing a community, the existence of a restaurant was a deal breaker. I wanted to know that there was a community gathering place. And, call it my Irish roots, but it was important for me to be able to meet my neighbors over a few drinks and not have to […]

Your definition of the perfect home may change during the house hunting process. Nothing wrong with that!
Generally, the process for choosing a home in a 55 Plus Community is fairly straightfoward:

So, today is the second Tuesday of the month – the “free” day at the Desert Botanical Garden (that’s the set up right now, I suppose it could change….). I decided to go. It wasn’t a first visit – I had been there to see the Chihuly Exhibit and to walk through the gardens […]
There are only about a million things that I could be doing today.
I could be doing the accounting for my business. I could be cooking something for dinner. Heck – the laundry not’s done and the patio could use a good cleaning.
To heck with all of it. Instead, I dug out my pastels, headed […]
Be Patient With Yourself!
There is likely no better place than an Active Adult Community like PebbleCreek to begin to build your next chapter. But Rome wasn’t built in a day! Most folks move here from somewhere else in the country – so, by the time the Pod or the moving van is unpacked, new residents are just […]
I just spent an hour or so researching 55 Plus Communities on the internet – and I have a headache.
CLEARLY, while many things can be profitably learned from an internet search, deciding on the IFs and WHICH ONEs of moving to an age restricted community requires some honest self-evaluation, on-site visiting and maybe even […]
The active adult lifestyle is, if the brochures are to be believed, an outdoor experience. Swim, play golf, go hiking, bike ride, walk, dine and enjoy happy hours basking in the perfection of desert living.
