Rick Wesselhoff's Q&A

I can't compile data for the public, but there's already one site that shows the most active agents in the Sedona marketplace - SedonaTopAgents.com  That site will show you the top agents in the Sedona area!

Well Sue... it depends on a lot of things - including upgrades, condition, location, etc...  but the past sales and current listings should give you some indication of an approximate value.  There are 3 on the market ranging from 399k to 460k.  The highest priced one is a single level unit.  The only sale in the last year was at $399k.  I'm more than happy to explain or speak to you about putting yours on the market if you're inclined!Have a great day!

I'd encourage you to phone a local lender that has experience with out of area buyers.  Try calling Mike Fuller of Northern AZ Mortgage at 928-634-4251

it's a .2 acre lot and here's the link to more photos.  Please feel free to call or email with further questions!Thanks,Rick

plumbing depends on how the home is situated - whether it's on a slab or on stem wall/ foundation with crawlspace.  The home you'd asked about is just off 89A in West Sedona, so it's located near businesses and the main highway through town.

The home has been on the market for months, but it's not truly available.  There are at least two offers on it already and they're waiting for bank approval on the offers!

I agree with you about the valuation discrepancy.  I usually tell buyers that Zillow values are approximations and can be off by 20% one way or the other...  and of course they rely on nearby sales comparables!

Hello...As a local Realtor that's active in the Sedona market, I'd say that there isn't much of a difference between a 2BR plus a den and a 3BR without a den.... but there also isn't a major investment involved in adding a closet either.  If it works for you and you need a 3rd bedroom, then by all means, go ahead and do it, but if you're strictly doing it for resale value - I'd tell you to save your money!

I don't see the 2009 amount... but for 2007 and 2008 the taxes on that property were about $2700 per year.  It just means that the county hasn't updated the amounts yet for 2009.... but you should be able to find info on the GIS map for Coconino County.  If you have problems, feel free to contact me.THXRick

The casita is approximately 500 sq ft with a large bedroom, bath.  Simple conveniences are provided - refrigerator and microwave - but no stove.  Email me directly with more questions at rick@sedona.netThanksRick
