The San Tan Valley Housing Market
San Tan Valley is one of the largest unincorporated communities in the country, more than a hundred thousand people in Pinal County subdivisions with no city government of their own. It was built almost entirely between 2004 and 2008, so the housing stock in Johnson Ranch, San Tan Heights, Copper Basin, and Pecan Creek is aging in lockstep: tile-roof underlayment, air conditioners, and water heaters from the boom years are all due at once, and the HOAs that run every community are quick to cite homes that fall behind. This area was hit as hard as anywhere in Arizona by the foreclosure wave, and a lot of today's sellers are the second or third owner of a home that was flipped cheaply. Services come from the county, the main roads into Queen Creek and Gilbert are congested at rush hour, and the older pockets along the San Tan foothills are still on wells and septic. Tired landlords, HOA fines, relocation out of the far east Valley, and inherited homes are the situations we handle most in San Tan Valley.
Code Violations in San Tan Valley
Code violations start small — an overgrown yard, a broken fence, peeling paint. But in Arizona municipalities, unresolved violations compound quickly. The city sends notices, then fines, then liens. In some cases, the municipality can condemn the property or even demolish structures at the owner's expense. Selling a property with active code violations through traditional channels is extremely difficult. Most buyers' lenders require a clear title, and code violation liens cloud the title. Even cash buyers on the open market will demand a massive discount for the hassle of dealing with municipal compliance departments. We regularly buy properties with code violations ranging from minor cosmetic issues to serious habitability concerns. We handle all communication with the city, negotiate fine reductions where possible, and complete whatever compliance work is required — after we've closed and paid you. In Maricopa County, different cities have different code enforcement departments with different processes and different attitudes toward resolution. Phoenix's Neighborhood Services Department operates differently than Mesa's or Glendale's. We know each city's process and have working relationships with their enforcement teams.
