Find A Home In Central Phoenix

Posted by Artur Ciesielski on Sunday, August 21st, 2011 at 11:38am.

Searching for homes in Phoenix can be difficult because many of the areas don't have defined names by which to search and subdivisions are often quirky in name which does not come up in searches. This is especially true for places where the common name is different from the actual subdivision names.

The 'location search' on the Phoenix homes listings search page allows you to put in the name of a community or subdivision, zip code or city an mls number and get matching results, but if you put in a name that is shared by other communities then it will pull them up as well.

If someone does not know how to spell the community name it may not pull it up. Here is an example. An agent is marketing a home in the Willo historic district this way, "Live in the beautiful Willow Historic District..."  Notice Willo is spelled as Willow, which is a common mistake, but the wrong name none the less.
