The first quarter of 2018 was record setting in PebbleCreek resales. In the first quarter of 2017 there were 59 closed resales. In the same time period of 2016 there were 49. Combining January, February and March of this year, there were 83. ( I have to add the disclaimer here that agents may “count” […]
I just got home from spending a few days (literally a few days!) in Ireland. My heritage is Irish and I still do have family in County Clare – but, trust me, I don’t take the opportunity to travel for granted. In fact, with my family flung far and wide, easy proximity to Phoenix’s Sky Harbor […]
For the last couple of weeks I have been staying active by trying some of the gym classes at the active adult community of PebbleCreek.
Pretty much everyday lately (Monday – Saturday), I have been in one class or another (and sometimes two!!), trying out the various offerings. I would not be able to pick out […]
I get it.
Moving to Arizona after living a full adult life in other parts of the country (or elsewhere!) is going to be stressful. I don’t want to try and talk you out of that. Figuring out how real estate transactions work in Arizona is only part of it – there is also the […]

Yes! The Active Adult Lifestyle in PebbleCreek does not require that you be 55.
Remembering that I am not a lawyer and if this is a serious matter for you you might want to ask a lawyer to review the documents, according to our HOA Covenants, 20% of the homes here in PebbleCreek may be […]
Even strong offers get turned down.
Maybe the seller needed an earlier closing date than you could offer. Perhaps the idea of someone else’s all-cash offer (and no appraisal requirement!) was attractive. It is possible that someone agreed to buy all the furniture, relieving the seller of the task of moving or disposing of it. Or it […]
One of the primary reasons to hire a Realtor® to help with buying and selling a home is because the Realtor has relationships with all of the people necessary to facilitate the transaction. And that is a lot of people.
For starters, there is the photographer and the sign post installer – and sometimes the […]
The Villas are relatively new to the active adult lifestyle in PebbleCreek. Marketed as “Lock and Leave” properties, the first ones were built since I moved here four years ago.
