At this unsettling time when headlines all seem to be bad news, smart people are protecting their investments. Economic cycles will always come and go and stock investments rise and fall. That's why land ownership is such an important part of a balanced financial plan!
History has proven over and over that land grows more valuable over time. Why? Because available, desirable land is limited. No one is making more land! In 1997 our acre lots in Sunsites opened at $7,000. Today, the price for that same acre has more than doubled. The land and home values in the Sunsites area were not caught up in the "real estate bubble" that has caused so much havoc in long-developed urban areas. From our own experience, we have seen values climb from 5 to 7 percent every year and we expect that trend to continue: Moderate, steady, stable growth.
Arizona has remained at the top of the national growth charts for more than two decades, and the Southeast corner is no longer its best-kept secret. Residential and commercial developers, environmentalists, and special interest groups from wine growers to star gazers are gobbling up large tracts of land. More and more retirees, telecommuters, entrepreneurs, and families with children are drawn to the area's breathtaking beauty, relaxed and friendly lifestyle, and unspoiled environment.
