Because this a new master planned community, there are only a few resale homes available.  With a resale property, you have a home ready to move into, usually with the landscaping completed.
In a new area many prefer to create their own environment by making the initial selections with the builder’s interior design center.  There are several homes ready for completion called “Spec” homes.  These are usually a good deal as the builder is anxious to get the home sold and off their books.
And, if the spec home has been sitting vacant, the builder probably has incentives for the buyer to sweeten the deal.  A brand new build allows the buyer to select their home site along with many architectural choices and interior design options.

Arizona Real Estate for Canadian Investors - Investors' Real Estate in Arizona

There has never been a better time to purchase Arizona real estate for Canadian investors.  The Canadian dollar is up, the US housing market is depressed, and there are plenty of investment properties in the greater Phoenix area.  The absolute safest transactions, of course, are new builds or regular resale properties.  There is no shortage of short sale/pre-foreclosures or bank owned homes.  Phoenix is expecting one last wave of foreclosures in the next 12 months.  After that, the housing market should begin it's recovery - some say over the next five years the buyer's market should begin fading. 
1706 E Brookwood Crt
Location, location, location - there are so many unique, established and well maintained communities to choose from in Phoenix and surrounding suburbs.  Ahwatukee is a prime area to begin a search.  This golf course mecca is not far from a number of key points of interest in the Phoenix area - like 20 minutes to the Phoenix International Airport, Chandler Fashion Square, hospitals, sports venues, and lush golf courses abound!

Club West Homes For Sale - Homes For Sale In Club West

Club West homes for sale
can be found in the Phoenix community of Ahwatukee.  Ahwatukee is
likely a word from the Crow Indian's native tongue, awe chuuke, which
loosely translated means "land on the other side of the mountain". 
Possibly named by one of its founding residents, Miss Brinton who moved
from Wyoming to Arizona.  There is a prominent Crow population in
Wyoming and thus influenced her name choice.  She bought the land from
St Lukes Hospital who acquired it from the original residents, Dr. and
Mrs. Ames.  They had built a home on the south east side of South
Mountain but lived in it a very short time before Dr. Ames died.  That
home was demolished in 1979 and pieces of it were used to build Our Lady
of Guadalupe Church in Guadalupe.  In 1971, a portion of the land was
purchased by the Presley Development Company (uncle to the legendary
Elvis Presley) and was developed into a residential community.  As the
population grew, more land was acquired from the state of Arizona,
International Harvester (who used the land as a proving ground), and
private citizens.  At one time, a portion of Ahwatukee was a junk yard.
Hundreds of wrecked cars lined a portion of land west of I-10. 
Ahwatukee today is an affluent L-shaped community bordered on the south
by the Gila River Indian Reservation, on the east by Interstate 10
including Chandler, Guadalupe and Tempe, and to the north by South
Mountain Park.  It has a population of about 90,000 and although its
formal address is Phoenix, because of the isolation from the capital and
15 other suburbs it is always referred to as Ahwatukee.

Homes for Sale in Club West

can be found in zip code 85045.  Access in and out of Ahwatukee was
slow in developing.  At one point it was known as the "World's Largest
Cul-de-sac" because early on there was only one way in and out.  That
was at Elliott Rd. and I-10.  As the community grew, freeway ramps were
built at Warner Rd. followed by Ray Rd., Chandler Blvd., and finally,
Pecos Rd.  Today, Club West in Ahwatukee is one of the safest and most
well maintained communities in the Phoenix Metro Area.  It is only 20
minutes from the Phoenix International Airport, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway
Airport, Chandler Fashion Square, Arizona State University, Tempe Diablo
Stadium - a favorite spring training facility, and Chandler Regional
Hospital.  Within 40 minutes you can be at the HoHoKam Stadium - home of
the Chicago Cubs spring training, the Diamondback's Baseball Stadium,
US Airways Center - home of the Phoenix Suns basketball team, downtown
Phoenix, and not too far from the University of Phoenix Stadium - home
of the Phoenix Cardinal's.  There are many hospitals to choose from -
Gilbert Mercy, Banner Desert, St. Lukes, or Banner Samaritan Hospitals.There are a number of public and semi-private golf courses throughout Ahwatukee.  Club West Golf Course
is an 18-hole Brian Whitcomb/Ken Kavanaugh design, ranges in yards from
4,985 yards in length to as much as 7,142 yards from the back tees. 
The double green down hill 17th hole has dramatic views with a tee to
green elevation change of over 100 feet.  Don't plan on walking!  Enjoy a
meal at the elegant 19th hole with outdoor seating next to the lake. 
Notice the beautiful homes that border this lush green golf course set
at the base of South Mountain.  There are many neighborhoods throughout
this community that will suit the lifestyle of just about any buyer from
luxury condominiums to mountainside mansions.
