I recently showed a home in Desert Mountain and was struck by the difference between it and most of the other homes on the market. This particular home was a year-round residence for a family with 2 teenagers and THREE large dogs. Needless to say, the home looked well used. The floor tiles were all scratched up and the lower woodwork and doors were scuffed. I know the condition of this home is normal in the rest of Scottsdale but it was definitely different for Desert Mountain Homes. 
It reminded me just how pristine most homes in Desert Mountain really are. The typical home in this community is a part-time vacation home. It is very lightly used. Approximately 60% of homes in Desert Mountain are vacation homes and of those many are 3rd and 4th homes. They are used for a very limited number of weeks per year and thus are extremely gently used. If a home in Desert Mountain is a primary residence the typical residents are a senior citizen couple who travel often and take care of the home immaculately. I will often open the door to a home that is say 5 or 10 years old and I will feel like I am walking into a time capsule. The home may be a decade old but it looks brand new. You can tell that the carpet is barely walked on, the appliances rarely used, etc. That is the typical home in Desert Mountain.
