A shared well can supply up to five homes in Maricopa County depending upon the flow rate (gpm) of the well. Other counties may allow more homes on a shared well. If you are buying a house on a shared well, be sure to read the shared well agreement and obtian the well registration information. Your agent should be able to point you in the right direction for all of this information. - Sun Dec 2 2007, 07:32

There are many facets to that question. Howver, the market is determined by the buyers, not the sellers. Is your home in top selling conditioning? Decluttered, spruced up, upgraded, etc? Does it have high curb appeal? What is unique about your home that would make a buyer want to buy it versus a similar home? What is your agent doing to actually market the property? Just putting it on the MLS is no longer enough. Are you getting any showings? Assuming it is in top condition and you are getting showings but no offers, and your agent is doing his/her job and you want a quick sale, take the lowest market comparable in the area and price it 2% below that number. (You mentioned that it is 6% below recent appraisal- is that a re-finance appraisal or a recent sale in your neighborhood? ) Right now Prescott Valley has a high number of homes for sale - especially in the Viewpoint - and you're entering the slow season. Look at your home as though you were a buyer looking at it and be critical about what you see. (An easy way to do this is to go look at other homes in the area that are for sale and compare them to yours.) Then, get aggressive. - Fri Oct 5 2007, 05:25

Susan,
Which Anthem are you referring to? There are now three in the valley. North, far southeast and far west. this site will give you a rough idea but there is noticeable variation depeding upon which one you are thinking about moving to.

this website is pretty accurate, though. http://www.ctdataengine.com/uswages/index0074.html

Let me know if I can provide any additional information.

Hello Arlene,
Homes have appreciated in Cave Creek an average of 12% annually over the past five years. Some areas of Cave Creek have appreciated more and some less than others, but the overall average is 12%. We did have a record year of 24% but that was only one year. - Wed Jul 11 2007, 05:28
