The Top Three Sales in Desert Ridge for August ‘07

In all of the analysis that I do on a weekly and monthly basis I always like to look at the most expensive homes that have sold in the recent past. I'm not sure why exactly, it's certainly not an accurate indicator of the market activity that most of us agents work. I don't have any clients interested in a higher end home presently. However, I do find myself drawn to see what the most expensive homes look like, what they sold for, how long it took for them to sell, how well the photography was done, what kind of crazy or off the wall incentives were being offered, etc. I just find it very interesting all the way around.

For the Desert Ridge area I think I am going to start highlighting the top three sales per month. I'll give you a brief overview of the home as I know it, tell you what the home was listed for and what it eventually sold for, and then provide you with any details about the house that I find interesting or unique. So we'll start off with last month, August '07.
