I would say some of the top neighborhoods in here are Prescuit Lakes, uh, Talking Rock, sometimes Hympa Village community. Um, a new one that’s kind not new, but it’s starting to come up a little bit more we’re seeing is Granite Dells. All beautiful developments. Um, nicely done, newer construction. Uh, Hiyia, Prescat Lakes, and Talking Rock obviously offers great golf courses. (00:30) and more country club style living. Talking Rock is amazing. It is truly living out in the like in a resort year round. The only negatives are it’s a little farther out. You’re about 25 minutes outside of Prescuit proper and not a lot of grocery stores or doctors and you know some of your conveniences aren’t readily available there. (00:56) But it’s kind of like your own community 100%. Amazing golf. They have hiking. They have pools and pickle ball, their own coffee shop. So, they even have a little convenience store in there because they know nothing’s close by. So, you can go over there and get milk if you need or something like that. But those people who live out there, they are avid avid golfers. So, they will they’ll be golfing seven days out of the week. (01:20) So, if you’re one of those people and you really want to enjoy the good life and enjoy all that you’ve worked hard for and you want to golf every day, Talking Rock is a beautiful option for you and if you want peace and quiet um and just kind of be away from far far from the maddening crowds. Yeah. Yeah. Good choice. (01:41) Uh a couple people on the survey were asking specifically about Prescuit Lakes. I didn’t Oh, Prescate Lakes. Okay. He wasn’t listening because we have I didn’t mention that. I know. We have been married 39 years. So he just kind of goes offline. We have we have marines. It’s mind. It’s all good. I was talking about talking rock, but Prescat Lakes, we live in Prescat Lakes. Love it. It’s right by town. 8 minutes drive. (02:02) It’s It’s lovely. Different price points throughout. Great golf, private restaurant, pickle ball, all of it. We’re getting botchi courts, um tennis courts, pools, exercise class, athletic center. Yeah, I made clubs within the club. So, you meet people in the reading club, bridge club, whatever you want, you know. Yeah. (02:24) You come into Prescuit, you don’t know anybody, you want to sort of jumpst start your social life and start to meet people here. Uh, Prescat Lakes is a is a great option. I would say out of maybe maybe 10 people that we bring in as buyers, what percent do you think end up in Presley Legs? It’s pretty high. It’s uh people love it here. Um, our HOAs are not extreme. (02:49) So, every neighborhood, there’s about 13 different neighborhoods in Prescuit Lakes. Yeah. Notice that she didn’t answer my question. I would say I would say 40%. I would say more like 60%. You think? Yeah. Six out of 10. You think? Yeah. And almost everyone has interest in it. Very, very popular place. Are you giving me the eye? I’m giving you the evil. Answer my question. Sorry. It doesn’t answer the question. Well, yeah. Well, I would say four. (03:12) Uh, I would say half, but anyway. But he’s okay. If he wants to say 60, that’s cool with me. It depends. You know, it depends. It It comes and goes. Usually, if somebody has a specific need, they’re looking for horse property or they really want to be kind of a remote area, you know, special special considerations. (03:37) But most people, you know, if you will, the middle of the fairway is going to be Prescuit Lakes. Yeah, we love it here. Um, and the good thing is everybody who comes to Prescat Lake, they it’s not a 55 plus, but for all practical purposes it is. Um, everybody here is 60s basically. We’re kind of the youngsters. If you’re in your early retirement years, you’re going to be among the younger folk here. Yeah. (04:01) But what’s nice is no one is from here. So, it’s a great way to kind of plant yourself. Yeah. Get out to the club, go to some of the events. Yeah. and all of a sudden you’re meeting folks, everybody’s in the same boat. Yeah. And so we’ve made a lot of excellent friends here. Yeah. If if you’re if you’re not a social person, more of a home body, Granite Dells is a really good option. Granite Dells is great. (04:22) It’s a smaller It’s, as I say, an abbreviated version of Prescat Lakes or Talking Rock or Hiappa. No golf, no private restaurant. They simply have a really nice community center workout. They have a nice pool and a few pickle ball. Yeah. Um, and I do believe there’s some neighborhood driven clubs like the neighbors kind of Yeah, the neighbors kind of organize it. (04:46) So, not quite as involved as a Prescuit Lakes or Hanapa and No Golf, but and they they do have they have a social membership ship at Prescat Lakes. So, if you just want to go to, you know, the they’ll have uh pool parties and things like that you can attend, you can go to the restaurant and stuff like that. The same is true of the Hyianas Club um Capital Capital. couldn’t think of it. (05:10) Uh that is not tied to that subdivision, right? So you can live really and then join Capital Canyon. Uh if you’re joining golf, you can do the same thing at Prescuit Legs. If you’re a golfer, you can do Prescuit Legs that way. That’s right. Uh unlike Talking Rock, Talking Rock, you have no choice. You have to join the club. Whether you golf or not, you’re paying that Yeah. that initiation fee. Yeah. (05:36) I would say well talking rock has always been mostly about about golf. It is now it’s about botchi. Botchi is a big thing that’s coming up. I understand botchi has become really really popular. Pickle ball is very very popular. Uh there are pickle ball courts at talking rock at prescuit legs and just around town. There’s also a private club you can join. (05:58) They have mostly indoor pickle ball courts but you can also play outside. It’s it’s in the old Sears in called Eastire. Eastire. Very very cool place. I think did we do a I don’t know if we did a wine demo on Eastire, but we should. But it’s a good one. It’s a really good one. So you know you you know if you wash up in Granadell’s, Prescuit Lakes, any of those, you know, it’s quite social. So it will be good. Good for you. Good for”Video Transcript
good afternoon my friends hello peeps this is Diana Randall bro your friendly presc pickle pee person that’s us I am the pickle lady he’s the pickle man yes right yes yeah I guess I’m the pickle man a girin or whatever you want call there you go you’re not a girin you can’t know yeah here today to talk to you about squatters squatters yeah this is something that’s happening across the United States so we have to be very careful and um especially a lot of our buyers are coming in they’re buying a second home this should be a little something concerning but don’t worry in Arizona it’s not that uh big of an issue so what a squatter is is someone who for whatever however man they manage they get inside your home and they don’t leave so it could be a tenant you know that’s renting from you and then they stop paying rent and they just stay refuse to leave could be someone who broke into your home and just refuses to lead correct they become squatters and some states protect the rights of squatters it’s pretty scary so if you try to like turn off the electricity or the water to try to get them out force them out some you could go to jail that’s right yeah and so that the laws in these states protect the squatters and you need to know the laws in your area that’s right so it’s very costly too you have to hire attorneys you you know all all kinds of uh it can be a very prolonged legal process to evict people who technically have broken into and taken over your home that you’re paying taxes and a mortgage on but somehow they have all the rights so now that’s it’s state by state now the the state of uh New York has just gone back on this they had very comprehensive squatter rights legislation or whatever uh the governor has stopped that has said hey maybe this plan isn’t working so well yeah um these people are taking over illegally people’s properties that are owned by someone else New York does dumb things from time to time but usually they learn after a while and they fix it uh that’s what they did here I I I don’t know who thought it was a good idea to give rights to people who break into other people’s homes and take them over and take them over but they did uh and then they realize well this isn’t working because you’ve got you know honest people who are losing their homes and their their jobs and you know it destroys your life someone takes your home it can really yeah and this is mostly people who maybe it’s a vacant home or it’s a second home it’s a vacation home or a rental and I mean it can really recre Havoc with your whole life and your finances and everything else so one thing you should know because we have a lot of folks here who move to Prescot and they buy a second home here it will not be tolerated here we do not allow squatters it’s illegal here uh so don’t worry about that don’t fret uh your rights come first if you own it you’re paying taxes you’re paying mortgage uh people cannot illegally move in and take over your home here you you call we’re not going to do it you call the sheriff the sheriff that’s right will remove the people yeah it’s not going to be uh a Year’s prolonged process and people are destroying your property um so anyway we just want to share that because we do have a lot of second home people who come here the people who have a second home uh a rental home that goes unrented for a while or just go on vacation for a couple months yes uh you know that’s when the squatter’s hit and savy they’re very Savvy uh they even have YouTubers out there teaching squatters exactly how to do it that’s right uh they like home towns where there are a lot of second homes yes uh so it’s if if you’re in that situation you could be at risk so you need to know the laws in your local area and you need to protect yourself absolutely Ely so you should know feel safe and secure Arizona we don’t fool around we’re not going to allow it to happen it’s uh we don’t we don’t uh give any rights to squatters um we give the rights to the people paying taxes and paying their mortgage as it should be really makes you wonder it makes me wonder yeah so anyway don’t worry about that if you’re thinking about coming here for a second home or you travel a lot and it’s your main home but you’re gone for a long time um you’ll you’ll be pretty much protected here so anyway we just thought we’d share that with you because we keep hearing about it more and more in other states and it’s it’s pretty scary so hopefully New York will Le you know New York’s example will lead the way other states will do the same that’s right uh but as at this point it’s it’s there’s really a lot of uh uproar going on because a lot of people have been affected by this absolutely so we just wanted to share that with you
