Much of Paradise Valley is built around one-acre residential zoning and custom homes, with mountain settings and resort influences creating additional variation. Properties can differ substantially in site position, architecture, effective age, and renovation level.
A Date of Death appraisal in Paradise Valley should separate the value of the site and location from improvements that may have been remodeled, replaced, or economically secondary on the historical date.
Shape, frontage, slope, mountain orientation, privacy, building envelope, access, and surrounding quality can produce very different estate lots.
An older home may compete as a residence, a major-remodel candidate, or primarily for its site. The relevant buyer behavior depends on the historical condition and market period.
Camelback, Mummy Mountain, city-light, and open-space views differ in orientation, obstruction, permanence, and visibility from the home.
Architecture, finish quality, guest facilities, garages, pools, landscaping, privacy, and site integration can be more important than a simple price-per-square-foot comparison.
