Your Guide to Home Selling in Estrella, Goodyear, AZ

If you own a home in Mountain Ranch, Montecito, or Cantamia, you might be wondering why your home isn't valued the same as the one down the street. Yes, square footage does play a big part in the value, but it's not the only factor. Your neighborhood's quarterly HOA assessment can also factor into a buyer's decision.

Some buyers will pay a premium for a home that's closer to the two residents' clubs. If your home is close to the lakes, you might see more interest because buyers like to have easy access to the walking trails and water.

These factors, along with the size and condition of your home, determine the value of your Estrella home, and will give you a better idea of how your home compares to others in the current Estrella real estate market.

Many of the Estrella sellers I work with ask me when the right time to list their home is. Timing plays an important role in selling your Estrella home because it impacts how quickly your home attracts buyers and how quickly they act on it.

In general, our cooler months are the busiest because more people want to see the area. In fact, spring and fall tend to be our busiest seasons for showings, as buyers are eager to experience the lakes and trails in beautiful weather.

Listing your Estrella home during the summer can still work well if it has a pool or plenty of covered patio space. We'll take your goals and timing into consideration when deciding when to list.

If your home has a pool, backs onto the golf course, or faces the lake, your exterior will be of particular interest to Estrella buyers. Buyers in Estrella want mountain and lake views, so make sure they're featured in your listing photos.

Keep the golf cart paths clear and don't leave any unnecessary patio furniture out when we do our photo shoot. Open and tidy exteriors help buyers imagine themselves living there.

Before we do the photo shoot, I'll walk through your home with you and focus on the most important features for Estrella buyers.

There are two kinds of buyers who look at Estrella homes. Growing families and 55+ buyers looking at Cantamia are the two main types of buyers in Estrella, and your marketing should speak to whichever group fits your home.

For family-friendly sections, I highlight the Golf Club of Estrella and lake access as lifestyle draws. And I emphasize the quiet nature of the 55+ community if you are selling in Cantamia.

If there is easy freeway access from your neighborhood, I tell buyers who would find this important. This helps your home stand out in front of the people who want to buy it.

Some Estrella communities are gated. Your community might require you to follow special rules when selling your home.

Rules about how your "for sale" sign is placed, the type of lockbox, and how showings are scheduled may all be in play. I make sure we are not going to get behind in our schedule by making sure we follow your HOA rules from day one.

I confirm with your HOA what the rules are before your listing goes live. Every gated community handles this differently, so I don't assume they're all the same as Estrella Mountain Ranch.
