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.
Condemned Property in San Tan Valley
A condemnation notice means a city or county inspector has declared the house unsafe to occupy. In Arizona that usually follows a fire, a long vacancy, structural failure, severe hoarding, or utilities being shut off long enough for the building to be deemed uninhabitable. Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, and Glendale all have the authority to post the property, order it vacated, fence it, and, if nothing happens, demolish it and bill the owner through a lien. Once a house is condemned, almost every normal exit closes. No lender will finance it, insurance usually cancels, and most buyers walk the moment they see the orange notice on the door. Meanwhile the city's deadlines keep running, with daily fines and the threat of a demolition bill that can exceed what the land is worth. We buy condemned houses for the value of the lot and whatever structure can be saved, and we close before the city's next deadline whenever possible. After closing we take over the compliance plan, whether that is a full rehab under permit or a demolition and rebuild. You stop receiving notices, the fines stop accruing in your name, and you walk away with cash instead of a lien.
