What should you know before selling a Paradise Valley home by owner?
Census estimates put the median Paradise Valley homeowner's real estate tax bill at $10,000 or more a year, and half the town's homes date from before 1985. Buyers will weigh both numbers: the tax bill they take on and the age of the house.
The Census table shows that tax figure as $10,000+ because it does not report medians above that amount. It does not say how far past that line the median sits, so your own bill is the number to use. At closing, the year's tax is divided day by day between you and the buyer, and on a bill this size each week adds up. Pull your current Maricopa County tax bill before you set terms or estimate your net.
With a median build year of 1985, half of Paradise Valley's homes were built before then. If yours is in that half, expect questions about which systems are original and which were replaced. Gather permits and receipts for roof, cooling, plumbing and electrical work. If your home is newer, list the year built and any warranties still in force.
Arizona Department of Water Resources map data places Paradise Valley in the Phoenix Active Management Area, where the state manages groundwater use. Buyers will also ask what summer costs to run. The NOAA station at Scottsdale Municipal Airport, about 6 miles north-northeast of the town's center, averages a July high of 104.1 F. Keep a year of electric and water bills ready to share.
