I guess when you land locked in a sense prices have only one way to go. The problem right now is thier are so many homes for sale prices will take awhile to comeback.

I would be curious to know what that same parcel is worth today. Obviously, it must be less. The question to me is how much less. Is it back closer to what they paid for it? Land here in the "ex-burbs" has plummeted. 25 miles from downtown Denver there is rarely any market at all. That does make it a truly great time to buy. **Larry´s last blog post..Buy Low

Hi Beth, thanks for visiting and commenting!

The zoning, not just the CC&Rs will need to be changed to allow for commercial development. Sounds like you're in an unincorporated part of Maricopa County, so you'd have to get the county to re-zone your parcel. Sometimes that's easy, sometimes it can be quite painful and tedious.

You can find a lot of info on Maricopa County zoning codes on my main site at: http://www.thompsonsrealty.com/Maricopa_County_Zo...

I have 10 acres on a corner on 339th and I just amended our

CC and R's to allow for commercial and/or retail. I am

willing to sell and so are some of my neighbors. If anyone here

knows someone who would be interested please let me know.

Thanks!

Wake up you idiots Phoenix is headed for the toilet. Which is exactly where it belongs. Prices will fall 60% by year end. Have a nice ride.

Bobby – Of course those prices are true! Amazing but true. I can't make this stuff up…

Generally speaking, land around Tonopah that's north of I-10 is priced higher than land south of I-10. But there are other considerations–proximity to electricity can make a HUGE difference. Whether or not the land is in a flood plain also makes a big difference. As for being closer to the foothills, that's a tough call. Some people want to be closer to the freeway, some want to be closer to the foothills/mountains.

If you'd like, email me at jayATthompsonsrealty.com (changing the AT to an @ of course). If you haver the APN (Assesors Parcel Number) of the parcel, I can look it up on the tax records and give you a close idea of it's value. If you don't have the APN, I can probably find it if you can give me your full legal name. And don't worry, I won't hassle you to list the property. Be glad to do that if you're interested in selling, but I won't pressure you. That's not the way I work.

Can these prices be true? I own 40 acres on 411 th Av (North of the 10).

The property is located closer to the foothills than the freeway. Do you think the land value will be more being closer to the

foothills? The land was about 700/acre when I bought.

Nice little return on your investment Steven! Wishing you bought 100 acres?

People probably laughed at you for buying land in Tonopah in 1989. Looks like you get the last laugh!
