When is the best time to sell my Show Low home?

The Show Low real estate market shows distinct seasonal patterns. Spring (April-June) and early fall (September-October) typically see the highest buyer activity, as families prefer to move during school breaks and before winter weather arrives. However, timing also depends on your individual circumstances and current market conditions. A well-priced, professionally marketed home sells successfully in any season.

His listings sell an average of 7% above market list-to-sale price ratio and close 12 days faster than typical Show Low listings.

How long will it take to sell my Show Low home?

The Show Low market average is 42 days on market. Rick Evans listings average 35 days on market. Timeline varies based on pricing strategy, property condition, current inventory, season, and marketing effectiveness. Well-priced homes with professional marketing typically receive offers within the first 30 days.

What are closing costs when selling a Show Low home?

Typical seller closing costs include real estate commission (5-6% of sale price), title insurance and escrow fees ($1,000-$2,000), minimal transfer taxes, HOA transfer fees if applicable, prorated property taxes, any agreed-upon repairs or buyer credits, and payoff of existing mortgage(s). Rick provides a detailed net sheet showing estimated proceeds before listing.

Should I make repairs before selling my Show Low home?

High ROI improvements include fresh neutral paint, updated fixtures and lighting, new carpet or refinished floors, enhanced curb appeal, and modern bathroom updates. Rick provides a pre-listing consultation to identify improvements that maximize your sale price without over-investing. Some homes sell best 'as-is' while others benefit from strategic updates.

Property Description

Welcome to The Lions Gate, a striking desert estate set on 3.87 acres of pristine Sonoran landscape. Designed to fully engage its surroundings, the home is positioned to capture sweeping views, expansive skies, and a level of privacy that feels both rare and intentional. From the moment of arrival, bold architectural lines and expansive walls of glass establish a dialogue between structure and setting. The desert is not simply outside the home, it becomes part of the experience within. Light moves throughout the interiors, shifting with the time of day and softening each space with a quiet, natural rhythm. The result is a residence that feels grounded, open, and deeply connected to place. At the center of the home, the kitchen unfolds as a natural gathering space, seamlessly connected to to the main living areas. Designed with both function and atmosphere in mind, it supports intimate daily living as effortlessly as it does larger moments of entertaining. Custom finishes and thoughtful detailing create a sense of cohesion, where each element contributes to the overall composition of the home. The primary suite exists as a private retreat, carefully positioned to take in the surrounding landscape. Views extend outward in every direction, creating a sense of stillness and separation from the rest of the home. Additional spaces offer flexibility for guests, a home office, or wellness, adapting easily to the needs of daily life. Outdoors, the property unfolds into a series of expansive living environments shaped by the desert itself. Patios extend into the landscape, offering multiple vantage points to experience the changing light and atmosphere throughout the day. In the evening, the setting transforms as the sky deepens into color, revealing layered sunsets over the mountains and a soft emergence of city lights in the distance. Mountain vistas frame the horizon, while the surrounding acreage preserves a sense of openness and quiet that is increasingly difficult to find. Here, outdoor living is not an extension of the home, it is an essential part of it. Each space is positioned to invite pause, to capture view, and to create a connection to the natural surroundings. The Lions Gate is more than a residence. It is a composition of land, light, and perspective, brought together to create a living experience defined by scale, privacy, and presence.
