9790 E DEAD SURE PL, Gold Canyon, AZ
“Wow, just wow!”
Shouldn’t the description end right there? You had me at “Wow!”…just wow.
Those are the Superstition Mountains you see looming over this hillside haven. Wow! Familiarity and Acquaintance may be tapping your noggin as those monumental mountains have played supporting film roles with Clint Eastwood, Ronald Reagan, Steve McQueen, and Elvis Presley. In mountain years, these are child stars. We are looking at the highest home on their hillsides, which is priced as if there’s a “Scottsdale” lost somewhere in its “Dead Sure” address. This price is high for Gold Canyon…but…Fortune favors the brave. So if you had one shot, or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment, would you capture it? …or wait until the Holiday season to overprice yourself out of the game?
Fortune pays you sometimes for the intensity of her favors by the shortness of their duration. She soon tires of carrying either one for long on her shoulders. Fortune danced double fisted up a steep incline this spring for our housing market. But she was gasping for breath by summer’s end. That’s when Gold Canyon saw it’s second-ever Sale over the $3 million mark. Hello Fortune! The lucky winner received $3.25 mil for 10,270 sq ft of dice roll. (The only other sale above the $3mil waterline out here was for a 22,000 sq ft monster mansion).
Can this Home Seller outperform that one and only 2021 Fortune favored sale?
They’re Dead Sure gonna find out.

“offers a sparkling pool, a loft, granite kitchen countertops, and a three-car garage.”
Hmmm. None of those attributes is particularly unique. Let’s dig below the thin outer crust. What else might this home offer?
Oh, here’s something:
THIS IS A WATERFRONT PROPERTY!!!
Apparently it takes longer than 72 hours to mention that.
Zero pictures.
Zero mention.
Waterfront property.
We preach to Home Buyers and Agents all day long that you Buy the Lot first, the house second. Well this lot sits at the tail end of a cul de sac, spread wide on the biggest slice of pie in the hood, butting up to a southeastern lakefront view. HOW DO YOU NOT MENTION THIS? These 72 Hour Home sale hucksters claim they’ll get you a “higher price” and “sell your home with convenience and certainty.” Convenience for whom? Certainty of what? Do we get a higher price than all those other lake front homes that failed to mention their greatest attribute?
This year’s COVID fueled rocket ride of property prices has made the valley financially richer, but intelligence poorer. Perhaps it’s the eternal creep of convenience addictions that hunts us all. Hungry? Food delivered. Lost? Phone gives directions. Flat tire? Call AAA. We have convenient home gadgets that heat our food, make our coffee, and brush our teeth. We have convenient glass tap iPads for going online to read product User manuals so we can figure out how to heat food, make coffee, and brush teeth. Damn you Oral B, THREE buttons? Convenience is the slow eroding foundation lowering our standards. I can’t fight it. It’s time I join the trend:

630 N WINDSOR –, Mesa, AZ
“72 Hour Home Sale!”
Good Lord. This 72 Hour property listing was input into the MLS system 499 hours ago. The price of the “Coming Soon” version of this listing was $800k. I’ve had my eye on it for weeks. That list price accelerated to $847,900 yesterday afternoon when this Listing finally changed to “Active”. Is that the moment when the 72 hour clock starts?
That $800k number could not have been input into the system originally without the Seller’s express written permission. Meaning: this property Seller accepted $800k as a Sale Price when they hired this 72 Hour Listing Broker. As property Buyers we must pay attention to the light, and the shady way business is conducted these days. Knowledge is gold.
Quarter Acre lot, six beds, 4 full bathrooms, with a basement that makes for lovely in-law storage, replete with tasteful upgrades throughout. Elementary, Junior High, and High Schools are short walks away. Downtown Scottsdale is a 20 minute drive. Fantastic place to raise a family?
We can think of 800,000 reasons to say YES.
