Dove Valley Ranch is located at 91ST AVENUE AND BEARDSLEY. The average list price in Dove Valley Ranch is currently 290k. Most homes in this subdivision are between 2k-4200 sqft. Property taxes are considered high, averaging 1600-2200 annually for 250k home. This is about 34% higher than other locations in Phoenix and the east valley. However, this seems to be right in line with property taxes such as Scottsdale.
We expect property taxes to go down as Cave Creek expands and the city is able to tax more businesses instead of Residential. HOA is Dove Valley Ranch is $34.00/monthly and covers the common areas. We find the HOA fee in this subdivision to be reasonably priced and in line with the market.

Cromford Report for 85382-Dove Valley Ranch
August 2008, this zip code averaged $124 per sqft which is the highest level it’s been since. Current sales show this zip code is now averaging $91 per sqft. About the same as 85032 which is due South of this zip code.
While the recent drop in Price per sqft is a sign of recent foreclosures, the peak of $124 per sqft is evidence the Cave Creek is still not a high demand place to live. High Property taxes and the distance from central Phoenix are keeping values low.
We expect Cave Creek to continue to average less than $100 per sqft for the next 5 years or until major corporation consider relocating to this area to spur growth.
