Real Estate Market Report – MARCH 2023
The Encanterra community has seen some interesting changes in the real estate market over the past year. According to the latest data from the Arizona MLS, the number of active listings has increased substantially to 53, up from just 14 in March 2022. This may suggest a shift in the market, as more homeowners may be looking to sell their properties.
Despite the increase in active listings, the number of new listings in March 2023 remained steady at 14. Additionally, there were 5 pending listings, indicating a reasonable level of activity in the market. However, the number of sold listings has decreased to 9, down from 19 in March 2022. This may suggest that properties are taking longer to sell, or that buyers are becoming more selective.
The sale-to-list price ratio has also decreased, standing at 96.5% in March 2023, down from 101.4% for the same month in 2022. This suggests that buyers may have slightly more bargaining power than in the previous year, as sellers may be more willing to negotiate on their asking price.
If you are a homeowner in Encanterra and are interested in selling your property, it is important to work with an experienced Encanterra Specialist who can help you navigate the market and set an appropriate asking price. The increase in active listings may result in more competition, so it is important to price your property competitively.
If you are a prospective buyer, the increase in active listings may mean that you have more properties to choose from. However, the decrease in the sale-to-list price ratio suggests that buyers should still be prepared to make reasonable offers and be patient in the negotiation process.
Whether you are a buyer or seller, it is important to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and data in the real estate market. If you have any questions or concerns about the market in Encanterra or the broader Arizona real estate market, don’t hesitate to reach out for guidance.

Estate Planning – Why is it Important and How to Get Started
Watch TJ’s video!
When it comes to planning for the future, estate planning is a critical step that everyone should consider. Estate planning is the process of making decisions about who will receive your assets after you pass away, and how they will be distributed.
One of the most significant benefits of estate planning is that it allows you to have control over what happens to your assets. With a proper estate plan in place, you can decide who gets what and when, rather than leaving those decisions to a court or a probate judge.
Probate is another important step in the process of estate planning. It’s the legal process that takes place after a person passes away, where the court oversees the distribution of the person’s assets. Probate can be a time-consuming and expensive process, and it can be avoided through proper estate planning.
When you create an estate plan, you can avoid many of the issues that can arise during the probate process. For example, you can ensure that your assets are distributed quickly and efficiently, and that your loved ones are protected from unnecessary taxes and fees.
The benefits of estate planning are clear, but many people still hesitate to get started. They may be intimidated by the process, unsure of where to begin, or simply too busy to make it a priority. However, taking the time to plan ahead can save you and your loved ones a lot of stress and uncertainty in the long run.
If you’re ready to start estate planning, there are a few steps you can take to get started. The first step is to gather all of your financial and legal documents, such as your will, trusts, and insurance policies. Next, you should make a list of all of your assets, including property, investments, and retirement accounts.
Once you have all of your documents and assets in order, you should consult with an estate planning attorney. An attorney can help you create a comprehensive estate plan that addresses all of your needs and concerns. They can also provide guidance on how to minimize taxes and other fees, and ensure that your estate plan is legally binding and enforceable.
Take the time to plan ahead to make sure your wishes are respected!

About Kelli McCoy:
“Hi! I’m Kelli, a self diagnosed crazy dog lady and balanced trainer. Typically this is the section where trainers brag about themselves in third person… I’m going to do it in first person.
I grew up with dogs and often taught them tricks like roll over and sit and down while my siblings played outside… (the anti-social crazy dog lady thing runs deep over here.) I started working with dogs in 2007, where I worked as an adoption counselor of sorts and matched people and puppies and taught them about raising their puppies.
I started handling as a client in 2008, and I fell in love with training. In 2012 I started training dogs professionally for a large school. There I specialized in behavior modification and aggression, as well as obedience. While I loved rehabbing dogs, I found that one of my greatest joys was helping bridge the communication gaps between dog and human; especially in the beginning stages of training. Rescue has always been a big part of my life as well, and I have fostered and rehabbed many dogs! Most of them left… Some are now my foster fails.
I live in Mesa, Arizona with my seven dogs… Yes, seven. Nessy, Maddox, Tayzr, Bugzy, Tucker, Sophie, and little Grandpa. Along with that crew, we have a cat and two kids! They all have their own quirks, but with a ton of training, a lot of love, and a little luck we have found harmony in our house.
I dabble in sports with my dogs, and love competing with them in Rally, Obedience, Dock Diving as well as Toss & Fetch. However, you’re probably not here because you’re looking to show your dog in the obedience ring… You’re here because you want to have a better relationship with your furry family member. Plus, the puppy keeps using the carpet as it’s personal commode! Well, it is nice to “meet” you! And… yes, I can help with that!”
