Here’s a quick update on Sandpiper sales in 2008, and what’s on the market now.
Sandpiper 2008 Sales & Current Properties for Sale
While it seems that real estate sales have slowed down in Sandpiper, nine properties listing in the local MLS (Multiple Listing Service) were sold during 2009. With a running average of about twelve sales per year (averaged over the past 26 years), you can see that we were slightly below average, but not completely off. Looking more closely at the data, it is apparent that most (7) of the sales occurred in the the first half of 2008, and that the two sales in the second half of the year were both foreclosures.
A summary of Sandpiper Scottsdale sales data follows:

Sandpiper is quite a unique community. Most townhouse and patio home communities have homes that are very tightly spaced, with out much grass. Sandpiper is different. 160 single level patio homes in a duplex configuration on 55 acres. Thirty three acres of the property is landscaped, mostly in grass which makes for a very peaceful living environment. Take a look:

As of today, there are only two homes on the market in Sandpiper. Pretty much an all-time low, from what I’ve seen in my tracking. Today, I’m sharing the latest Market Report for the community that shows activity since the beginning of 2008.

“The residents of this special community believe the are fortunate to live in this oasis of wide open green spaces and quite beauty, and hope you will appreciate the Sandpiper Advantage, too.
This property was early recognized by descendants of the McCormicks and Rockefellers as ideal for horse breeding, cattle raising and agriculture. The world-renowned All-Arabian Horse Show started here, and the Railroad Park remains a significant attraction. After the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Fowler McCormick, the property was sold to Kaiser Aluminum and Aetna Insurance who developed the land into Arizona’s first master planned community McCormick Ranch is all built out now, and because of its careful and disciplined management, it remains one of the finest planned communities in the country. Enclosed by lakes and the Palm and Pine Courses of McCormick Ranch Golf Course, Sandpiper resident enjoy sweeping vistas to the surrounding McDowell’s, and Camelback and Mummy Mountains. Homes are carefully sited among established planting, tall evergreens and palms, and citrus – ripe for the picking.
A twenty-four-hour staffed entry gate ensures privacy, while the full-time on-site manager provides immediate attention to residents’ needs. The nearby pools (one for each twenty homes) offer exercise or relaxation in an uncrowded atmosphere. And the location is superb – ten minutes to Scottsdale Civic Center and Fashion Square, twenty minutes to Sky Harbor Airport, twenty-five minutes to Phoenix Symphony Hall.
After contrasting various offerings in the Valley of the Sun, we hope you will appreciate the advantages of owning a home in Sandpiper – truly a special place.”
