Limited Representation/Dual Agency in Real Estate
S'up 😊 I live here, in Cottonwood, Quarter Acre Lot, and I pay ZERO no HOA Dues. ❤🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for this video 😊 I miss living in the Verde Valley 🌵 I miss Arizona 🏜
Cornville? Just the name... Cornville and Sedona are two very different worlds. You would pay me I would not live in Cornville.
The name does bring us hours of entertainment :)
@@livinginnorthernaz Yes, there is matter for entertainment... originally, it should have been called Cohenville, from Mr Cohen who contributed to the founding of the town. But the super educated writer at the time heard Corn instead of Cohen....
@@Jehau I have heard that story, so it must be true :)
This Prescott/Preskitt thing is amusing. So I ponder, do we say Scottsdale or Skitsdale? 😂😂😂
🤣🤔😂
"I got Lakefront Property in Arizona...." Country Song about lying. 🤭🏜🚫🌊🏖
I always learn new things from your videos, Dawn.
Thank you!!!
Love this story!! Years ago when I moved to Idaho I was told that I was saying Boise wrong. People would know I was from California and they didn't like Californians moving there and buying up there cheap properties. I pronounced Boise like Boizee. It was pronounced Boisee!! Lol!!😂😅😊
I suppose the locals in Prescott thought it would be easier to say Prescitt. because you don’t have to open your mouth as wide to say it. Maybe started in a local bar or some place .
What's also frustrating is when you are trying to send a text with voice translate and you say "prescitt", it transcribes it wrong and you have to back up and correct it. But I think you have something about it starting in a local bar about 1:25 am on a Saturday night.
Lol!!!😂😅
how is it for remote workers in northern az suburbs? Is there good internet? Does it go out of service when its below zero in winter? That is my main concern..is the internet service reliable @livinginnorthernaz
@@jadedgypsy3526 That will depend somewhat on "where" in Northern AZ. But I have Starlink and it has been great for me. I upload and download huge contract files from my home office. And these TH-cam videos I upload weekly are very large and I'm able to upload them every week. I've only had outages a couple of times in the last two years. And usually its during a snowstorm. So I would check if Starlink services the area, and if not research the backup options.
@livinginnorthernaz thank you for all your resourceful info❤
I’m interested in verde valley
I would like to know more about pinetop, overgard and peyson . What is it like cost , weather etc...
Buyer beware. Living in Flagstaff is like living in Canada. Flagstaff is one of the most communist parts of Arizona. So If you are a commie... enjoy Fhegstaff
You guys up there really believe a 140k ( at most ) manufactured house is worth 450k on 1-2 acres. I would love to understand what that audacity is about? Absolute po dunk town miles away from infrastructure
This whole area has increased almost double since we bought our home in 2018. Highest taxes in the state and worst roads. Safeway is a RIPOFF. 30-45 minutes to pv or Prescott depending on area of town. Air quality stinks because of wildfires and controlled burning. Have had maybe 2 weeks good air quality this year. But compared to ftw Texas area its better and the national forest is why we moved here.
Short term rentals - yes - one where I live was feeding the cats that neighbors get but don’t take care of, so there were cats showing up to eat after this person left. Parties are a real problem too, the police where I live basically don’t even respond.
Buy a house in a lower income working class neighborhood and see if hoa fees and rules are really that much of a burden compared to driveways full of rubbish and junk cars, parking on the front lawn, commercial vehicle parking on your residential street, etc. ✌️
I once showed a really nice house in a neighborhood in Flagstaff with no HOA. Across the street was a guy who parked his giant taco vending truck on the front lawn. So that was all you could see when you looked out the front window. "Come get your tacos".
Seems it would be good to check out all the HOA's for the homes and Condo's someone is interested in as well as the neighborhood itself before buying. Sounds like this issues could be major problems!! Thanks Dawn for the heads-up!! 😊
I live in Yuma, where everyone-man, woman, and child care is a gun. Bad guys, consider yourselves warned. 🖕
Arizona is an illiterate MAGA shithole. They already have severe water usage problems due to over-population.
Some of these are a bit weird. Sedona is WAY overrated, extremely expensive, SOO crowded with tourists! And a LOT of mismanagement when it comes to town politics! Constantly bad decisions being made giving way to money rather than the people that live there! Never anything that will benefit local workers that are constantly having to move further and FURTHER away, because affordable housing, NOR affordable solutions are EVER approved for workers by the town governance, of a town that is like 95% Service Industry driven! So probably should have been even lower, specially because Sedona is NOT a retirement driven town nor are the prices, unless you are VERY well off. Also neither is Scottsdale or Paradise Valley 🤷♀
She kinda glossed over Sierra Vista. We retired there from San Digeo. Hubby (native born San Diegan) loves it!
Very good overall picture of places to live!! Though I'm with you on why some places on even on the list or placed low on the list. Thanks Dawn for sharing this article with us!! 😊
always nice to hear of a place or two that you never heard of before,,and its nice to hear your professional opinion of the area being a lifelong resident along with the weather average for that area..👍👍
We were considering Prescott for retirement, but then I read on several forums that healthcare is a problem. It’s apparently difficult to find a PCP with availability, and many people just resort to driving to Phoenix. And if you need a specialist, it’s even worse.
I'm looking for a town with 10-15000 people. Nice even weather year round a small town. How to get out of the Northeast.
Sedona?
@livinginnorthernaz I don't think Sedona little pricey there. Plans are buying a double wide trailer so I need a piece of land... It's difficult cuz I'm here in Connecticut
There are NO antelope in the USA, or anywhere in North America. What you call antelope are Pronghorns and not related to an antelope. Living in the west you should know that!
Excellent video and I appreciate your opinion.
Thank you
They ,hate Liberals there are you Crazy!
Oro Valley is an incorporated and is much more upscale than Tucson.
When I have driven near there it was nice
Great video. Looking at that as a potential way to get into the Verde Valley. :)
What about wildlife that can get in the house? Bark scorpions? Snakes?
My big question is what part of Sedona to buy into- West Sedona or the VOC. Do you have a video about that choice?
It's the perfect place for me😂😂😂
Lack of healthcare, doctors, hospital, specialist etc., seems to be the biggest con. Does not matter how healthy you are, something will unfortunately knock you sideways! Fast access to ER/major trauma center could be lifesaving. Also general ease of access to specialists makes a massive difference, especially when you are at your most vulnerable.
Isn't there a hospital in nearby Cottonwood?
And a series of medical offices in Cottonwood
I have lived in AZ for forty yrs. 20 yrs in Flagstaff proper. There is a tiny home manufacturer/community in Flagstaff. I could never live in a tiny home. Claustrophobic!
Ues for goodness sake ask to see the flood survey. Do not buy or place a contract until you do.
Email me if you want the flood report
Thanks Dawn! As a native Arizonan once told me, when you go to close on a property in this area, the only concerns the new homeowner has is 1) where in the home layout did they put the meth lab, and 2) which closet or which location on the premises do the Klan rally uniforms exist? But, hey, it's a great place to raise a family, now isn't it?
Very useful information. Thanks
I’m planning a trip there in February, great information.
Very expensive to buy a project.
Thanks Dawn! Puts things into perspective so one can make informed choices when deciding on Sedona area. 😊
Thank you
Seems like the biggest con for retiring is a lack of high quality medical systems/hospitals nearby unless you go to Flagstaff or Phoenix (not very convenient). And still no Sprouts either right? Fix a few of those things and it’s heaven!
Yeah I agree with that 100%. I'm actually looking for land to put a double wide trailer or modular home as they call it on... Need to get out of the Northeast.
There are medical facilities in Prescott and Prescott valley, which is a lot closer than Phoenix. Sedona has a Whole Foods Market.
Very accurate. :)
There is a Whole Foods and one of those Fresh Grocer stores, sorry I can't remember the name. but no Sprouts or Trader Joes.
There are very few vacant lots left in Sedona that are zoned for Manufactured or modular homes. But you can still sometimes find one . A noticed a lot recently that was zoned correctly that was listed in the low $100,000. Not sure if it is still available.
Great video!
Preskitt
And what is the average income? Who can afford to live here? Cold? Where in the hell did you get the 80" of snow average? We average 100" of snow, dummy. The record is 210" in 72-73. Two years ago we had 170'"! Think of this: We average 212 days a year when the low temperature is 32 degrees or less! You are pretty ignorant about Flag.
So no water, no electric, no sewer (only plans). Bet someone started this and either got red tagged or didn’t realize how much it would all cost.
You should have showed the price I might have watched it all. I'm looking for a small house up north and I'm not going to be suckered into calling you.
The price is in the description underneath the video. I can't put price onto the video, because I can't change that later if we have a price adjustment.
That's a lot of money for no acreage and no amenities!!!!
Flagstaff is expensive. I'd have to look up the exact lot size but its just under 1.2 acres.
Flagstaff used to be affordable until all the Californians and Texans moved here. Its sick really, because the sky isn't as dark as it once was, the traffic is horrendous the people are soulless unless you look at thier Instagram. The elk and deer populations have taken a hit as have the avian populations that have had thier marshes bulldozed for more homes. There is less varieties of wildflowers due to the suppressing fires due to overgrowth. The list goes on of why this area is being strangled by the people who say they care but only care about thiers and thats it. I see houses built in the 70's go for crazy prices like 800k+ and the thing is they are not worth it, whatsoever. Just you watch when the Airbnb vrbo market tanks, people will be offloading thier "investment" properties they have not taken care of only to collect mailbox money in 10 years and you have a saturated market full of homes that are run down with people who want full price, and won't get it. Hindsight, if you have a 10 year old kid and want to steer them in the right direction, trade work. There will be so much work that needs to be done in 10 years to these godawful homes its like a pile of money for your children. Just be smart, I got screwed out of my home "meaning flagstaff" but it's doesn't mean someone can't come and benefit from the mismanagement and terrible state of affairs.
@livinginnorthernaz you are a beautiful lady i wish I knew, i hope you get what you are BS'N the public into. Look forward to a better future. God bless!!
What’s the price?
It's in the description. $190,000. I ca'nt put it in the video because it if ever changes it can't be changed in the video.
Enjoy a relaxing g bath, dishes can wait! Lol
Make sure you verify that this isnt in a flood area. That ground looks like is routinely underwater at various times of the year. Not saying it is, but verify for your own sake.
There is a wash the runs along the back of the property, making it considered a flood area.
Good call! I know the flooding in Flagstaff! It can be bad especially in the path of a previous burn scar! Must avoid that!
@@Linsuesazflagstaff has and will always have floods with or without fires. This is something that no one who hasn't lived here for over a couple of decades understands and the real estate agents are totally lying and misleading people in alot of ways.
Well, that's really not a bad price. The tiny house, all that's included with the home and the land. I'd like to see how far this is from town. Ok, I just looked it up, and it's actually in a nice area not to far from kachina village.
About 6 miles south from town just west of the upper lake.
It’s so cute. I love the cold!
