Case Study: Why 555 E Hillside Dr in Pinewood (Munds Park) Went Pending So Quickly

Located just off I-17 Exit 322 past the Pinewood Country Club, 555 E Hillside Dr illustrates exactly what today's second-home, retirement, and relocation buyers are competing for in Coconino County:

  1. 01 Newer 2020 Construction & Four-Season Efficiency: Unlike older 1960s and 1970s A-frames or seasonal cabins that require heavy remodeling, this 1,618 sq ft, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-level home was built in 2020 with high-efficiency insulation, forced-air propane heat plus ductless cooling, and a tankless water heater.
  2. 02 Low-Maintenance Paver Driveway & 2-Car Garage: In a high-elevation Ponderosa pine community (~6,800 feet), buyers pay a premium for a clean paver driveway (no cinders or mud tracked inside) and an attached 2-car garage for winter vehicle and mountain gear storage.
  3. 03 Indoor-Outdoor Entertaining in the Pines: An open kitchen island layout flowing out to a spacious covered patio and private, landscaped backyard gives Phoenix Valley buyers the classic cool-pine getaway without the upkeep of multi-acreage land.
  4. 04 Hyper-Targeted Digital & MLS Marketing: By launching with crisp architectural photography and syndicating immediately to our Northern Arizona and Scottsdale/Phoenix buyer database at JBRE & Co. (Real Broker AZ, LLC), we generated immediate showing activity and secured a strong contract within days of hitting NAMLS.
