Terravita: Real Estate at Its Best in Scottsdale Arizona
Terravita is one of Scottsdale, Arizona’s premier real estate developments. Terravita was created by real estate developer Del Webb beginning in late 1993 and was their first non-age restricted community. I, Scott Gaertner, was the number one real estate broker for new home sales, selling more Terravita homes than anyone, $66 million in sales. No one knows Terravita real estate better than I do and I am ready to help you buy or sell. If that sounds like bragging, remember I am applying for a job as your Realtor!
The Terravita gated planned community consists of 823 acres with a wide range of home and lot sizes complimented by excellent amenities including an 18 hole championship golf course, clubhouse facilities with dining, a swim and tennis center, a health and fitness center and a community wide 6 mile long system of jogging and walking trails.
Terravita golf and the Terravita Golf & Country Club are of great interest to many buyers. The golf course at Terravita was created by PGA Hall of Fame member Billy Casper and designer Greg Nash, whose name is synonymous with beautiful, playable golf courses that provide fun, fair challenges to players of all abilities while blending seamlessly with their natural surroundings. The Terravita golf course is an excellent example of Greg’s design skills. Terravita Country Club amenities include a pro shop, a large driving range, and three separate areas to practice chipping and putting.
Real estate in the Terravita community includes a wide range of homes with great floor plans suitable for everyone from larger families to couples looking for a part time or retirement residence. You can see all of the Terravita home floor plans here.
One of the features of Terravita real estate compared to some other developments in the Scottsdale, Arizona area is the overall development design which maximizes the natural beauty of the high Sonoran desert while minimizing things man made. Terravita real estate meets or exceeds the Scottsdale, Arizona Environmentally Sensitive Land Ordinance. Whenever I am asked what Terravita’s very best feature is, my answer is always the folks who live here. They are an extremely health conscious, fun group of unpretentious folks, who enjoy an incredibly active lifestyle with like minded friends and neighbors.

April is always a very active month in the Terravita Real Estate Market, and this year was no exception. Ten homes under contract and thirteen closings is good most years, but fantastic in this market. Terravita is doing herself proud.
A couple of weeks ago I suggested that you mark April 2009 down as a landmark month due to our first closing over $1 million. It turns out that wasn’t the only reason to remember this month. We also had what I am certain is the largest spread in price per foot we have ever had in one month - $206 per foot!!!!!
That’s right, we had one home close escrow at just $143.71 per foot and another close at $305 per foot in the same month. That is incredible, and speaks to the extraordinary nature of our market right now. Crazy huh?
Many of you are leaving or have recently left. Have a great summer, and we look forward to your coming back next year.

* The term "Homes under contract" is to say that these listings "sold" but they have not necessarily closed escrow. Most are still in various stages of the inspection process.
