How I help New River buyers
I’m Valerie Moe, with Keller Williams Realty Sonoran Living. We start with how you want to use the land: horses, a workshop, room for an RV, or simply space. Then I compare any home you like against sales with similar land and water. See knowing your market.
During the inspection period, I help you line up the checks that matter on rural property: the well or water source, the septic system, the lot lines and the road access.
New River details
Schools: Deer Valley Unified; confirm by address with the district. New River is unincorporated, so Maricopa County sets the zoning. Many properties have no homeowners association, but some do, and some have recorded restrictions. I confirm all three before you write an offer.
