Real Estate Truth Or Fiction

The town of Payson is a great place to live. However, with the surrounding areas of Strawberry, Pine and the Mogollon Rim in very close proximity to the town, it's worth doing your research to make sure you get to the place best suited to your needs. This article looks at all three areas in more depth.

One of the main areas just outside of Payson is the modest town of Strawberry. With a population of just over 1,000, it is a very small and humble area to live in. It is a two-hour drive from the Arizona capital of Phoenix.

Strawberry is an ideal place to consider if you are planning to build your own home. There are many agencies that specialise in selling land. There is a wide variety of choice available from a variety of many different realtors in the area.

There are some things which justify your house being more expensive than others. If your house has a definitive feature that most houses do not have, you may get interest from buyers who are willing to pay that little bit extra. This is called adding a premium cost to your home.

Pine is a very affluent area which is just outside of Payson. Established b y four Mormon families three years before Payson was founded, the population of this area just falls shy of 2,000 people. The total area of the land is marginally bigger than Strawberry.

Remember that what you bought for your house may no longer be an accurate representation of its worth. If you bought your house a few years ago, it is likely that it has gone up in value. Getting a fresh home evaluation from a Realtor is well worth the money.

Arguably one of the most notable areas near Payson is the Rim Country. This collectively refers to not only Pine and Strawberry, but also the Christopher Creek area. Christopher Creek is very close to the Mogollon Rim, which is an area of outstanding natural beauty.

The Mogollon Rim and the surrounding areas are sometimes referred to as 'Arizona's best kept secret'. Approximately 22 miles away from the nearest town of Payson, the forested acres include some of the world's purest air. This claim can be made thanks one of the largest collections of Ponderosa Pine trees in any one area.

Known as The Rim by locals, Realtors in the Mogollon Rim (interestingly pronounced as Muggy-own) handle a variety of real estate. From lodges to homes and ranches to cabins, the different types of real estate found in this rather secluded area are impressive. Some residents take the opportunity to make The Rim their second home, leaving Realtors to rent out their property when they are not residing there.

Remember: an hour's work can be a thousand dollars. Maintaining the litter boxes of your pets and stopping smoking inside the house can all contribute to making your house have sensory appeal. Also, invest in an air freshener that makes your house smell clean without being overpowering.

Whatever your decision when it comes to purchasing real estate, having a look around the areas that surround Payson do offer food for thought. Each area offers something different which may be of help when you are making that vital decision. The close connection between Payson and its surrounding areas always means that you are never too far away from town.
