Goes to show-price it right from the start-and even if it is priced close to a million-it will sell quickly (28 days), as can be witnessed by the sale of 6042 N Indian Trail with a List Price of 999K. That it sold so quickly is more surprising because it is a less popular two-story home (one stories are much more popular) and it has no swimming pool or spa. However, it is  located one of the very few newer neighborhoods of Ventana Reserve (although not gated, and very small community with only 17 homes) in the Catalina Foothills; it was built in 2008. It is on a large lot–1.3 acres and it is fairly large for the price: approximately 4,600 square feet.

This home sold first in June 2007 for $1,257,355 and then almost for the same price in May 2001 for $1,250,000. Of course, the final sales price  (although the List Price is 999K)will not be known until it closes escrow.

This home is listed by Long Realty.

7155 N Finger Rock Place (List Price $1,980,000) went under contract today after only being on the market 2 months! This 6,300 square foot, two-story home is located on almost an acre and was built in 2005. The views are tremendous of the Catalina Mountains and the city lights–so much so that these buyers were dazzled enough not to wait to see if the price would be reduced to make an offer!

6030 N Desert Sun Court sold today for $1,335,000. This over 5,200 square foot home sold for $1,206,500 just over 10 years ago and was on the market for several years. Although this one is not perched up high in Ventana Canyon, it marks a great start to 2012 for Ventana Canyon. Last year was the year of Pima Canyon; maybe this year it will be the year of Ventana Canyon. Time will tell!

6725 N Hole in the Wall Way just sold today for 1.7 million, which is exactly the same price it sold for four years ago. This home was only on the market for a little over 3 months, revealing there was a very motivated buyer who wanted to live at the top of Ventana Canyon.

Click on  the link –Tucson Foothills Luxury Homes sold over 1 million-2011- to view the 42 homes that sold in zip codes of  85718 and 85750. The highest final sales price was $2,325,000 at 2304 E Sentry Court in Pima Canyon; it should be noted that it was a “Short Sale”, and was a great bargain. (This home was listed by Long Realty and sold by Russ Lyon - Sotheby’s International Realty). The photo above is of this beautiful Pima Canyon property that sold for the highest 2011 price.

Pima Canyon was the clear winner of the community where the most luxury homes were sold in 2011, in which there were 11 sales.

 There were 4 short sales ( coming from all over the Foothills–including the highest 2011 house sold in Pima Canyon) and 5  foreclosures, of which 3 came from Pima Canyon, 1 from The Canyons and 1 for Skyline Country Club.

 The bottom line is one out of 5 homes sold over a million in the Catalina Foothills were distressed home sales.

~There are some excellent bargains out there, but they will not last forever. If you want to explore the Tucson Foothills luxury homes market, please call me at 520-615-2598 or email me at Donna@DonnaAnderson.com. ~

Long Realty sold 6650 N Sutherland Ridge Place, a brand new almost 4,800 square foot home sited on .83 acres for 950K. This home was first listed in March of this year for $1,095,000.

There are few new homes built in the Catalina Foothills because most of it is built upon.

4625 N Placita Roca Blanca was only on the market one day and went under contract at its first offering. This amazing over 5K square foot Mediterranean, built in 2006, sold for almost 2.6 million in 2007 and today its list price is $1,595,000, with its final sales price unknown until it closes escrow. Some lucky buyer got a bargain by bouncing on it as it first entered the market!

3208 E Via Palomita (List Price $1,935,000) went under contract after being on the market 3 years, with a starting List Price of $2,785,000. This two-story- split level Mediterranean, built by John Kline, has 6,300 square feet and is sited on an acre. Having a 4 car garage, and being a masonry home built by one of Tucson’s prominent builders are definitely some positive features of this home, along with it being located at the top of La Paloma Estates.
