Chateau On Central’s unique-to-Phoenix architecture and timeless luxury create a true urban live-work space that has brought interest from buyers nationally and internationally. Its integration with downtown Phoenix’s art, music and restaurant scenes provide true urban living to residents in a city that is still developing the urban lifestyle that has become the sought-after, modern choice for the nation’s top cities.
“This opportunity to work with Sotheby’s will allow us to reach a large audience of international buyers,” said Dave Clark, chairman for Volo Holdings and Chateau On Central developer. “Arizona continues to be one of the top states for second home purchases and we want to show those buyers what Phoenix has to offer.”
Sotheby’s International Realty has long been a staple for luxury real estate connoisseurs, which made the 2008 partnership with the established 60-year-old Russ Lyon Realty Company an ideal fit. Beginning in 1744 with the Sotheby’s Auction House, the well-known brand has earned prestige as a marketer of the world’s most valuable and fine possessions. Sotheby’s International Realty was launched in 1976 with the same commitment to luxury and exceptional service to clients with the goal to unite extraordinary homes with extraordinary lives. The company markets worldwide and will focus a large part of its efforts for Chateau On Central to buyers from outside of Arizona.
“Chateau On Central is a flagship community for Phoenix’ growing urban lifestyle and accurately represents the Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty brand,” said Monica Monson, Scottsdale luxury real estate expert and founder of Monson Luxury Group at Russ Lyon | Sotheby’s International Realty. “We take great pride in our clients, offering a true marketing and sales partnership, and with Chateau On Central offering these amazing brownstones, we look forward to introducing it to our national and international buyers.”
Chateau On Central offers residents a sophisticated 21-residence brownstone community. Homes start from $1.1 million and range in size starting from 5,200 square feet. All of the homes feature gourmet kitchens with Viking appliances, 2-car garages, a personal elevator and private roof-top patio. Options available include designer/architectural services, furniture built-ins and flex space for optional home theater, gallery, wine cellar or game room.

The Q1 Statistics for the Phoenix Metro Area were released today from Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service, Inc. (ARMLS). The number of months supply in most price ranges decreased while the number of sales increased from Q4 2011 to Q2012. The interesting stat is that the number of Days on Market was inconsistent with the drop in inventory. The DOM in the mid ranges actually increased slightly and in the lower and upper ranges of the market it decreased. Additionally, the average monthly actives followed the same path by increasing in the mid ranges and decreasing on the lower and upper markets.
From a practical standpoint, it has been very productive in the market. The luxury client is back in the market looking for the best possible opportunities and in many cases paying cash to purchase. The lower markets are attracting investor purchases which is creating a multiple offer scenario to resurface in the marketplace. In any price range, the number of great homes is slim so if you are serious about making a purchase it’s wise to look for the right house but make a swift decision if you really want it.
