Summary

2018 Cottages At Coffeepot – This is the most activity I have seen in this small community for many years (8 sold in 2016-17). Each of these town homes are very unique. They have custom floor plans, different lot sizes and each view is different.  Many of the luxury town homes have been updated to varying degrees which makes pricing price per square foot vary so much.

Cottages At Coffeepot Are Maintained With Your Safety & Aesthetics in Mind

Coffeepot Cottages
The Cottages At Coffeepot West Sedona is a community for those who want a lock and go lifestyle. The community has a full-time grounds keeper who maintains the front landscaping of each home.  There is only one way in and one way out and it has a security gate to maintain your privacy.  The Cottages are very safe. Because they sit over a mile off the main highway (89A) and are tucked in at the foot of the forest preserve, there is little traffic that is not accounted for.

Designed For Low Maintenance and Relaxation

There are 34 homes and generally 10-12 full-time residents who live in the Cottages while other residents travel to other homes based on the season.  Some spend summers here and others spend their winter months in this community.

One of the unique features that residents enjoy at the Cottages is a heated swimming pool that is available from May through October.  The pool area sits higher than most of the luxury town homes and has a great view of the surrounding red rocks.  Straddling one of the famous rocks in Sedona. ..Coffeepot Rock, the pool is located right below. From the main street of the 89A, it looks just like the old percolator coffee pot, but as you move around the rock, it can take on another appearance of  a “Standing Eagle” a name given to the rock by the Native Americans who inhabit the area.

Besides the pool, you can play a set of tennis anytime you choose at the tennis courts located right below the pool area.  If you decide you want some fresh air and a nature walk, there are trails by Coffeepot that lead to Boynton Canyon to the west and Jordan Park to the east.  The Seven Pools and Devil’s Kitchen are a ten minute walk right outside of the community.  There are Jeep trails also that you can take to get to those features. Just make sure you have a narrow rock climbing vehicle to get you back there!

Coffeepot rock
You enter the community from the top of the hill and the street lights meet the dark sky requirements.  These monuments throw a soft light down onto the pavement and each townhome has one or more in front of their home.

As you can see, there is green grass where you might expect rocks and desert plants.  Most of the community has grass in front of the town homes. However, the HOA is considering modernizing the landscaping in increments as needed to bring a fresh young look to the complex.

Sedona townhouses for saleThe picture to the right is looking down from Coffeepot Rock. As mentioned before, there are 34 units.  Two of these units sit on two lots. Most of these luxury town homes are two and three units to a building. Each unit has some sort of courtyard in the front and a backyard garden area. Half of the community borders the forest. Many units have built in BBQs and all have a slab patio front and back.  About half of the units back up to forest with a direct view of Coffeepot Rock.  Those units that sit on the east side of the street have a view of Coffeepot Rock from the front of the town house.

The Cottages At Coffeepot Architecture Is Timeless & Built To Last 

The architect is a prominent local resident who builds a quality home that usually remains pretty timeless. Don Woods has designed more than 200 local homes including Junipine Resort in Oak Creek Canyon to Heartline Cafe and the Sedona Racquet Club according to Sedona Monthly Magazine. This article was back in 2006. The builder is still active in the community.  He is Phil Morris.  Currently he has a multi-million dollar project about 3 minutes from the Cottages located right on Soldier’s Pass. Again, Phil Morris provides a quality product that a home owner can be proud of.

The Soldier’s Pass area of Sedona is one of the more pricey areas in Sedona. The average home price in Soldier Pass right now is over $1,650,000.  On the other hand, The Cottages At Coffeepot sit on some prime property at the very end of Soldier’s Pass and offer a more affordable alternative choice of living in a luxury setting.

Just 4 Minutes Away….

 

 The Soldier’s Pass Location Is 4 Minutes To Shopping & Dining

The location is far enough away from main highway traffic to relish the quiet solitude of nature.  Surrounded by pine and juniper trees, your Cottage is nestled deep into nature yet you can enjoy the peace of mind knowing you are located in a gated community that looks after it’s own.  

A recent study has shown that living within a mile of a Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s increases the value of your home. The Whole Foods of Sedona is right at the beginning of Soldiers Pass just 3 minutes away.  

Medical & Professional Services Are Just 4 Minutes Away

A question often asked is “How far are the medical facilities located?”  The intersection of Soldier’s Pass & SR 89A is the start of all the businesses located in Sedona.  Besides the Whole Foods at that corner, there are two banks, restaurants and professional services which include, doctors offices, eye care, dentist and lawyer’s offices as well as other professional services. Within 5 minutes of that corner are all the services you may possibly need.  If you need any specific questions answered please reach out to me through my cell phone or email.

How Coffeepot Rock Got The Name

A lot of the rock formations in Sedona are named after objects that they look like. Cathedra Rock, Thunder Mountain, Snoopy Rock, Chimney Rock and of course, Coffeepot Rock,just to name a few more visible formations. Some of these are iconic symbols for Sedona.

In the wild west, the cowboys on the range, would use a percolating type of coffeepot over their campfire or on their camp stoves to brew coffee. Many of you may recognize the shape that has a glass knob on the lid to detect the color of the coffee as it continues to brew. The pot was made of a tin.

This type of pot was used well into the 1960’s and may still be used today in some homes or for camping.

Native Americans saw a different figure. “Standing Eagle” was the name given to the rock. Look at the top picture which is the entrance to the gated community. Think of an eagle right before the eagle starts to lift from it’s perch and the wings are the rock formations directly behind the main formation where the coffeepot spout is the eagle’s beak,

This was around 9 step process that took five days to complete. The finished surface should last many many years. The last resurfacing lasted 15 years.  The first step was complete prep and patching and an additional drain put in. Then a netting was put down and a black resin placed over it. After that large gravel was set down. Another type of sealant was placed over that gravel.  Then a smaller pea size gravel was laid down with another sealant placed over the smaller gravel. There was a final sealant to adhere and cure the surface. A few days later there was a lime wash to eliminate any stickiness.

Coldwell Banker Realty Voted Sedona’s Best Real Estate Company

Posted by On

Coldwell Banker Realty

Article courtesy of Sheri Sperry Coldwell Banker Realty – the name has been changed from Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

Voted Sedona’s Best Real Estate Company

Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

Update: Coldwell Banker Realty has replaced the name of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.

I moved to Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in 2017.   The decision was a long and arduous one. I started considering a move back in September of 2016.  The main reason it took so long was my recollection of a previous move in the corporate world that never sat well with me. I made the corporate move for monetary and advancement considerations and I regretted making that move. 

To help me avoid making a move I might regret, I made a checklist of all the positive and negatives reasons to move. I also made a checklist of all the web-based info that would need to be changed on my website besides the print info and physical move. Of course, I had to have complete buy-in from my husband and partner. After all, he would be burning the midnight oil on most of the website changes.

Support

 One of the reasons I am so thankful is the support I have received from my manager, Andrew Brearley.  Andrew was the former owner of the two Coldwell Banker franchises in the Sedona area. He sold these to NRT.  This allows Andrew to do what he loves, coaching, and developing his agents.  

But the support does not stop there!  The regional offices located in Scottsdale AZ, provide training as well as marketing support statewide. 

Marketing

I like a good balance of print and Internet media. I get everything I need from Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. This gives me more time to spend with my clients. At CB, we are set up to be a one-stop shopping experience. We even have an in-house mortgage affiliate. 

Why I Am Thankful

Coldwell Banker has people who come to work happy and ready to take care of Sedona real estate clients. I am thankful and appreciate the spirit of teamwork and co-operation among the support staff and the sales associates. People make time for each other. It is a work atmosphere that nurtures a client relationship that is second to no other.

Andrew Brearley has stated; “Our sales associates gain unequaled business development opportunities, the use of leading technology, extensive real estate services, and an extremely powerful regional and international marketing platform.  These advantages will enable them to better serve our valued customer, and remain Sedona’s top-selling brokerage…”. I couldn’t agree more with this statement. My clients get my full attention. I believe this is why readers of the Sedona Red Rock News have voted Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Sedona’s Best Real Estate Company! I am thankful, proud, and happy to work for Sedona’s Best Real Estate Company!

Blink and it’s gone….A Spring Snapshot of Crescent Moon Ranch – Sedona

Posted by On

Crescent Moon Ranch Park in Sedona AZ

Crescent Moon Ranch Park

Blink and it’s gone….

Crescent Moon Ranch in Sedona Arizona is one of my favorite areas to visit. However, this image is generally only available during a short time in spring.  I am talking specifically about the green grass. The grass is wild. It will wither and turn brown without any rain, and it will do that rather quickly! So the scene above is not quite as appealing without the grass.

Cathedral Rock

Lower Oak Creek…

The image to the right, is a two minute walk on a trail to the right of the shed in the picture above. Lower Oak Creek borders this property. Water was and is a valuable resource. Even more so, if it borders your property.  Early settlers looked for prime property near water sources to raise livestock, or farm. It was too costly or near impossible to get thousands of gallons of water to a large portion of land if you could not have irrigation ditches or canals right off of a water source such as a creek or river.

The OK Ranch…

The Native Americans knew this. There is evidence all around the Verde Valley where ancient tribes such as the Sinaguan people who farmed and hunted on this land and lived close to the creeks and rivers during the growing season as early as 700-900 AD.

Fast Forward To the Late 1800’s…

In 1880, this 160 acre property was homesteaded in the 19th century by cattleman John Lee. He named it the “OK Ranch”. The land changed hands numerous times and the ranch also changed names at least 3 times. As a REALTOR® it was interesting to see the price that was paid each time it was sold.

Elizabeth Ragsdale bought the ranch for $750. She spent a colorful 6 years there because of who she married, Charles “Bear” Howard.  He was convicted of murder and was sent to San Quentin Prison where he escaped two times. As you probably would guess, the marriage did not last long! “Bear” got his name because it was rumored he killed 5 bears with just his knife.

Strictly Speculation….

In 1902, Ragsdale sold the ranch to the Schnebly’s – T. C. and Sedona. <–(Read more about how Sedona got it’s name!)  Yes, the one and only! T.C. ran the post office and named it after Sedona and the area took her name. They bought the property on pure speculation for $1000 and sold it 2 years later for a whopping $2000. The next owner sold it shortly after the purchase for $2200.

To give you some perspective as to how that speculation paid off, the average annual U.S. salary in 1900 was just under $450.

A Thriving Business…

The Schuerman and Dumas families turned this property into successful orchard and cannery. In the next 15 years over 1500 fruit trees were planted.

“Palo Bonito”

In 1936 – Crescent Moon Ranch changed ownership again. The Baldwins paid $6000 for this orchard that had needed some tender loving care to get it back to tip top condition. A cannery was run right out of the kitchen of the cabin. The miners in Jerome bought produce from the orchard and it was also transported to as far away as Chicago and as close to the Phoenix area to be distributed to the surrounding areas.

 

Water WheelAlong Comes Electricity!

In 1937, the Baldwins hired C. Jones to run the ranch. There was no electricity so a brick water wheel was added to make electricity to run the irrigation pumps. Sixteen year later, the Baldwin Ranch was sold in 1953 to Mrs. Nick Duncan.

The U.S. Forest Service and Crescent Moon Ranch…

Tourism replaced farming and ranching in Sedona in the 1970’s. The decline forced the land to be put up for sale once again. It wasn’t until 1980 that the Forest Service purchased the ranch using land and water conservation grants designed to preserve land from development and for the enjoyment of future generations. Not sure when the property was named “Crescent Moon Ranch” but it is one of the most popular places to take pictures in all of the Sedona Area.

If you are thinking of going to Crescent Moon Ranch picnic area, the Forest Service does charge a fee. You can also rent out the original Baldwin cabin. You can read additional details here. Currently, the fee is around $200 an night. My guess is that you may have to book months in advance of your stay.

The North Meets The South….

Crescent Moon Ranch stradles Red Rock Crossing which can be reached from Red Rock Crossing Rd on the north side of Oak Creek and Verde School Road on the south side of the creek. There are stepping stones at the shallow point in the creek where you can cross to each side. There has been talk about connecting the two sides. But local residents are against this proposition. It would definitely impact the area but as traffic continues to increase this may become a necessity.

The Winter Charm of the Cottages At Coffee Pot

Video Snippet of Snow Falling Against Red Rock Backdrop of Coffee Pot Rock

 

Winter Charm

The winter charm of this video was taken in the Cottages At Coffee Pot subdivision. A gated community in Soldiers Pass West Sedona Arizona –

We had 2.5 inches of snow fall but you would never know it if you slept in until noon! Watching the snow fall is very relaxing and provides a stress release in and of itself. Of course that takes into consideration that you are not driving around in the white stuff!  But in Sedona, that probably wouldn’t be the case!

The Sedona Climate in all four seasons is fairly mild when you compare to other areas of the country. See images here of the actual storm here.

March 2018 – Black Moon – Once Every 20 Years…

Posted by On

Sedona’s Black Moon

March 1, 2018

Rare Black Moon – Every 20 Years

Today is the “Black Moon” – It happens every 20 years. It is the absence of a full moon in February. There will be 2 full moons in March; today and March 31st – which is called a “Blue Moon” because it is the second full moon in a month. This is another rare event. It generally only happens a couple times a year.

Remembering January 2018

Remember back in January, there were two full moons. The second being a very rare event that featured a Super Blue Blood Moon at the end of the month! Basically, the second full moon was also a total eclipse and at the closest point (perigee) in its elliptical orbit to the earth. This made the moon appear much bigger than at other times. The “Blood Moon” gets its color because of the shadow cast by the earth as it passes through the sun’s shadow during a lunar eclipse. This makes the moon appear orange in color.

Sedona’s – Red Rock Fever

 As the full moon rises in Sedona, the rocks appear to be a deep crimson color, and that is what is captured in a photo. This happens because as the sun sets in the west, only the red wavelength of sunlight is getting through the atmosphere. This is why sunrises and sunsets are so magnificent. This “magic time” is why photographers love to snap pictures. There is a warm glow which is magnified in the color of the Sedona red rocks. This may even cause some people to get “Red Rock Fever”

Looking Back…Celebrating Two Years Old In A Very Special Way At Snowbowl Flagstaff Arizona

Posted by On

First Time Snowboarding!

Snowbowl Flagstaff Arizona

 

   

    

Snowbowl Flagstaff – Tristan Xander – Turned Two Years Old on February 7 ! He was a Superbowl baby. My son has been excited to take Tristan snowboarding ever since Tristan was born. Ricky’s dream came true.

Ricky is a two-time USASA Nationals Champion in his discipline (Slopestyle), representing Mountain High Resort in the San Bernardino Mountains at the Nationals in Copper Mountain in Colorado. At the time, he never thought he would have a child he could coach.

Tristan loves the snow (as the video depicts) and will probably be spending more time there, much to my son’s delight!

RailsSnowbowl – Hours: 9 am to 4 pm daily while conditions exist.

Snowbowl is an alpine ski resort located on the San Francisco Peaks about seven miles north of Flagstaff.

Snowbowl has snow-making equipment which extends the season and adds consistency for businesses, the resort, and all patrons.

It is believed that Snowbowl provides around $12 million in economic output for the city of Flagstaff.

 

Getting Air Snowboard

 

 

Sedona is close to the Ski/Snowboard Resort of Snowbowl. It is about an hour away. Just another outdoor activity that you can enjoy in Northern Arizona.

Sedona Weather – January 2018 – Warmest In 9 Years!

Posted by On

Sedona Weather Update January 2018

Temperature Chart Below

Sedona Weather January 2018

46.5º is warmest mean temp for a January since recording in 2010. It is very close to the February mean temperature for last year.

Precipitation Chart Below

Sedona Weather January 2018Sedona Weather January 2018

Sedona Weather for January 2018 – While the rest of the country east of Arizona is having extremely cold weather and freezing conditions, our Arizona and Sedona January was warmer than most. The high and low days for January was 3º warmer than last year and the average was 6.5º higher than last year. We did get 1.76 inches of rain in January and just a trace of snow.

What Stands Out…

Last year we recorded 300 days of sunshine. This year,there were 26 days of sunshine in January. This is eight days ahead of last year’s pace.  There was only 4 days with rain. This is probably why we are ahead of last year’s sunshine numbers.

Another reason why the temps were more mild this January was the number of days below 50º for a high.  There were only three compared to fifteen last January.

Overall – Sedona is a wonderful place to live every season of the year. You get seasons but they are bearable compared to other parts of the country. So, if you are in need of thawing out, Sedona might be an option for you!

 

Here are the 2017 Category Summary by Month and totals.

Sedona Market Overview

January Infographic Luxury Homes for sale

Using an infographic to tell about the Sedona Market Overview is an interesting way to pack in a lot of information into a fun graphic. There are a few points of interest that many customers have told me are important to them. The weather, outdoor activities, and being able to see those little dots in the night sky we call stars.Using an infographic to tell about the Sedona Market Overview is an interesting way to pack in a lot of information into a fun graphic. There are a few points of interest that many customers have told me are important to them. The weather, outdoor activities, and being able to see those little dots in the night sky we call stars.

This particular infographic shows the entire Sedona market. It includes, Sedona, Village of Oak Creek (VOC), Big Park and Pine Valley.  It encompasses both zip codes, 86336 and 86351.

Over the past few months, the Sedona Real Estate Market has seen a rise in the Market Action Index which uses an algorithm that takes in recent trends and current stats to create the index and answers the question “How’s the market doing“. Basically, the market currently has a weak buyer position. In many of the price points, there are few homes to see and homes priced right do not stay on the market long. In fact there are many homes that are getting multiple offers because of the lack of inventory. You can see that pricing has risen sharply in 2017 alone. The market is already very active and I am sure this Spring (for Sedona Springs starts in February) will be very active.

Check out this Infographic and let me know what you think.

Do A Few Things Right and Embrace Real Estate with Irrational Optimism!

Posted by On

Ask The Right Question…

Why Do You Want To Be A Sedona Real Estate Agent? 

As I am sure happens with you, many say they want to be real estate agents. They are looking for advice on how to get started.

Most people have no idea what it takes to be a successful real estate agent. They just like what they see. So I always ask the question “Why do you want to get into real estate?

This can be answered many different ways and it really depends on the answer how I proceed with my advice.

If I get an answer like – I want to make a lot of money or I want to be just like that agent with the fancy car and expensive jewelry like I see on that Millionaire Real Estate TV show, then I do everything to get that impression out of their head. There will be nothing but frustration and disappointment when they don’t see that big check roll in the first month!

Every market is a little different and it depends on how much you have to pay for your desk and what the broker’s cut will be.  I usually tell someone that they should plan on having $20,000 on hand for all the costs involved to start your own business. This is where the rubber meets the road. Most back out at this point. They just assumed that you show a couple of million dollar houses and then a check is cut for $30,000. …It does not happen that way!

 

I did do a few things right when I started…

Marketing Ads

 

First, I had the reserves needed for start up costs and there are many. I also knew a thing or two about marketing. I was able to secure a great price for weekly ads in our local Kudos Magazine that is delivered to every house in Sedona and Village of Oak Creek. People knew my name and my face!

My husband also understood marketing and had a passion for building websites and learned to be a professional real estate photographer…so he built me a website that was responsive and had an IDX platform. Basically, it showed up correctly on a monitor, iPad, or a smart phone. I had this website the week I started.

Coming from the staffing industry, I knew that interviewing with many different brokerages was very important. I felt that I had to fit in. I wanted to be with a company that had brand recognition and support.

 

Irrational Optimism

 

Irrational OptimismI learned fast that it really helps if you have a mentor who can guide you through everything that school doesn’t cover….and there is a lot! I had no mentor. But as a person with irrational optimism, a life long self starter and a sales person, this did give me an edge and I also had passion and real estate experience.

I managed apartment buildings; bought and sold many of my own homes and I even re-negotiated mortgage rates by challenging low appraisals with my own comps located in the area I lived in.

I never questioned if I made the right choice only why I waited so long to get started! I started my career during the great recession in 2011. Sedona still was not out of it. Many pros had left and gone on to other jobs. My passion, irrational optimism, and love for real estate kept me going. This wasn’t a job. It was what I loved to do. …..I enjoyed getting up in the morning!

Other areas that helped me along the way include:

  • Educational Opportunities – take as many classes as you can. One of the best courses I attended was Master Certified Negotiation Expert. You use these skills in every negotiation with a buyer or seller.
  • Join Organizations
    • Network as often as you can – Build Relationships with clients, other agents, and all support services.
    • Help your community – volunteer in an organization you love
  • Of Course, spend time on ActiveRain – participate in blogging and commenting – You will learn a lot from experienced REALTOR®s

In Conclusion… 

Become the “Choice” in your market. Be steadfast and embrace the future of real estate with irrational optimism. Innovative thinking creates innovative solutions tailored for every buyer and seller in your market. Set the standard for business values, based on the concept of World Class Service and exceptionalism. Your goal should be to exceed the needs of your clients and be the real estate agent of choice in the market for today and tomorrow.

Why Are Sedona New Construction Costs Skyrocketing?

Posted by On

Sedona New Construction Rising At Alarming Rate!

Sedona New construction Rimstone West Sedona

Lumber Costs Rising

SEDONA NEW CONSTRUCTION – I recently had a conversation with a very prominent builder in Sedona who puts out a quality home product. In the course of our conversation, he told me that he was very concerned with the cost of lumber and the availability.  His costs have gone up 25% since the weather or hurricane disasters that we recently experienced.  In addition the recent fires in California will be adding to the lack of inventory and rising cost. This has not even been figured in yet!

After doing additional research, I found that builderonline.com referenced an article from Calculated Rick Finance & Economics that lumber random lengths are up 25% from a year ago. CME, which is a Futures Exchange, states that lumber futures are up 45% year-over-year. 

New Custom Homes Are Still Available In Sedona Arizona

In the Sedona area, lumber costs are affecting our builders on new home construction. There is a small amount of land and lots available in Sedona proper. This limits home construction to one build at a time. Generally speaking, with all the costs involved, a resale home is a better deal. You just can’t build a home for what a resale home will cost.

New Development Construction Is Flourishing In Sedona’s Outlying Communities

But there are other areas such as Cottonwood, Cornville and Clarkdale that have seen large areas being developed by one or more builders. These new homes can be considered semi-custom builds and are becoming more attractive to those who just can’t find the resale home that fits their needs. 

Buyers Need To Consider

Typical lumber costs are between 60%-70% of the home building costs. Labor costs the other 30% to 40% (costowl.com). With building costs continuing to rise, buyers need to consider the pluses and minuses of buying new. Normally, Lumber costs vary at different times of the year, but these disasters have stressed the lumber market.

Pluses For Purchasing New

  • Did I mention the home is brand new!
  • If bought early, you pick out the finishes.
  • You may be able to custom design it – bump out a wall, add an extra garage, etc.
  • Modern open floor plans – some have 2 master suites.
  • You get a builder’s warranty – remember it’s brand new!
  • All appliances, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roof, etc. is all brand new!

Pluses For Purchasing A Resale

  • You can negotiate price much easier than on new homes. Seller may be motivated.
  • Generally, you get more for the money.
  • Mature landscape and possible hard-scape is already done.
  • You know exactly what you are getting – it is already complete!
  • Neighborhood is established.
  • You may get quality amenities that are absorbed in the negotiation.

Also check out my blog on steel construction:

“Why You Should Select Steel Instead Of Wood For Your new Home Construction”

Steel Construction in Sedona

PLEASE NOTE:

Always remember that as a buyer considering new home construction, you should be represented by a buyer real estate agent. Seller agents are there to represent the builder/seller and protect those interests.  As your buyer agent, I will be there to represent your interests and negotiate on your behalf. Give me a call to see how I can help you with your real estate needs.

Buyer or Seller Market  (MAI)

The Market Action Index is showing has shown a downward trend because the inventory has increased. However actual inventory is still low for this zip code.  Basically, buyers should take note of this and understand that because of the low inventory the seller may not be as willing to make concessions.  Also,  scrutinize the Days on Market (DoM). The higher the number, the buyers negotiation power will increase in most cases. Buyers should be ready to purchase or they may lose out on the sale. The “Push Pull” point for supply and demand is an MAI of 30. Above 30 is a seller’s market.  The breakeven point is around 6 to 7 months supply of homes (condos) on the market.  

Large Chart

 

Interactive chart will continue to show current market information

Bottom Line

 The lack of inventory and higher single family home prices is putting upward pressure on the condo market. Many buyers are looking for the convenience of lock and go residences that are maintained by associations (HOA) at a reasonable price. Sellers have the edge in the market. Prices should continue to rise so be ready to make a purchase with little to no discount off the sales price.
