Residential property in Rainbow Valley can involve large parcels and private infrastructure well outside a conventional subdivision setting. Development moving south and west from Goodyear or Buckeye may influence expectations without creating an identical buyer pool.
A Date of Death appraisal in Rainbow Valley should reconstruct the rural setting and the site's actual utility on the effective date.
Water source, septic, power, road access, and legal access can materially affect marketability.
Slope, drainage, floodplain, and improvement placement can make gross site size a poor comparison metric.
Later planned communities, road projects, and commercial development should not be treated as existing influences if they postdate the valuation.
When sales are scarce, the search should follow similar acreage and utility rather than drift into abundant tract housing.
