Phoenix Golf Developments – Useful Pointers When Purchasing a House

The first thing to keep in mind when scouting for a golf home in the Phoenix vicinity

is the metropolitan area encompasses over 500 square miles and there are over 50 golf developments.Location, location, location... you have heard it said before. With Phoenix being such a large city the first decision is what area to buy in.

The next choice is price range. Various golf developments in the Phoenix region offer single family or patio homes for less than $100,000. Other communities are in the $150,000 to $250,000 range with a few of the more resort areas at $250,000 and more.

When you have an area and price range figured out your next focus ought to be on services. A good example would be do you want to be in a gated community? Is a guarded entrance essential? Other considerations could be a bike/jogging paths, spa, tennis courts, community pool, retaurant(s), banquet facilities, etc. Bear in mind the more amenities the more your monthly HOA dues will run, which is something to not forget when doing your research. HOA costs can be as low as $50 a month to well over $300 in a few of the exclusive developments.

The next consideration would be do you want to buy in a multi-generational development or a 55+ community? 55+ communities require one or more of the owners to be 55 or older. A trend that has developed over the last 10 years is the multi-generational planned development. Builders and developers, after years of building 55+ age restricted communities thought the proposal of a multi-generational population would be attractive to a more diverse population. This also needs to be well thought-out when doing your investigation.

Last but not least do you want a townhome, patio home, single family detached or condo? Is being on a golf course lot vital to you? As far as parking goes do you want a 2 car (or bigger) garage, 1 car garage or carport? Some homes even have tiny garage bays built specially for a golf cart. What about private pool, how many bathrooms, bedrooms and and how much square footage?

Bottom line is ask yourself the crucial questions above and do your research and due diligence first. Start with the big picture and continually narrow your search from area, too community and then to what type of residence. With this line of attack will make investing in your Phoenix golf home a lot speedier and definitely much less frustrating. Of course using a professional that has knowledge of the locations and communities you are looking at will also prove to be invaluable.
