Even though June and the heat of summer are almost here, there are still plenty of events going on in and around Scottsdale.
DC Ranch is comprised of many smaller communities and offers single-family homes as well as condos and townhomes. Some of these neighborhoods are gated and some are not. The DC Ranch Country Club community is guard-gated. Community parks and recreation centers, as well as DC Ranch’s schools, are fantastic amenities.
I finally got my wish and was able to have dinner there a few weeks ago.
We also tried a few other dishes. First was a double order of the Peruvian Chicken Spring Rolls. They were crispy and full of flavor and disappeared quickly. We also had Pickled Shrimp with Fennel and Lemon on Buttered Saltines, which was another creative and tasty dish.
On another note, FnB has been also recognized by the James Beard Foundation for their Wine Program. What is fascinating is that all of the wines are from Arizona and New Mexico. On the night we were there, we got to try two different Arizona wines including Chateau Tumbleweed’s ‘The Descendants’ white and a Los Milics Hannah’s white. Not only were they great to drink, they were very reasonably priced.
The Days on Market measurement (also known as DOM) takes a look at the pace of home sales by tracking how many days homes are on the market before they sell.
Here we are looking at median home sales prices. So, like the median list price, half of home sales were priced higher and half were priced lower.
