New to the market is a 4-bed 2-bath home on the southwest side of Tucson, just off of Ajo and Kinney, in the newer community of Mountain Village Estates II. This home shows pure elegance with a gourmet kitchen featuring granite counters, lots of ceramic tile throughout the home, fireplace, and soaring high ceilings. This home is priced at $199,900 and at this price, it is an absolute bargain (check the comps for yourself)! The home was built in 2005 by DR Horton. The homes in this neighborhood are spaced well apart and offer residents a great location.

Areas of Continental Ranch and Continental Reserve (located on the northwest side of Tucson at Silverbell and Cortaro Rd) are being developed for commercial purposes and have been for the past 3 years. All along Cortaro, just west of I-10, properties have been continuously developed and now offer residents extreme convenience, and most residents never have to cross I-10 to get anything they are in search of. In the past few years, a Super Wal-Mart, Kohls, Checker, Autozone (automotive stores), Chili’s, Ace Hardware, Fry’s, Chase, Bank of America, Movie Theater Complex, several restaurants, and service providers have made Continental Ranch and Continental Reserve home to their businesses. Just a few years ago, an urgent care center was built, providing medical care.

Just listed home in Tierra Vista, located at Alvernon and Valencia. This neighborhood is in high demand due its location. Minutes from Park Place mall, major employers, and I-10 make the Tierra Vista neighborhood a desirable place to call home. The listing I recently placed on the market is a 1395 sq. ft., 4-bedroom, 2-bath home that has many upgrades you do not see in the $149,900 (call for updated pricing) price range. Tiled (slate) master bath surround, modern stained concrete floor, and a modern sink that makes this bath the best in the neighborhood. The rest of the home is done just as well — carpets with little to no wear, a large kitchen with additional built in cabinets and fixtures, and a 2-car garage. This home will not last long on the market. It shows like a model home and there is nothing to touch it for the money.

Just recently listed, this home is in the fast growth area of Casa Grande, almost exactly between Tucson and Phoenix located just off of I-10. This home can be summed up by two words, “Sheer Elegance.” This home has every desirable upgrade and is so well done, every time I see it I think I am in a model of what every home “should” be. This home features (to name a few) a highly upgraded POOL, granite counters, upgraded cabinets, plantation shutters, and lots of tile (20 inch tile diagonally set). All the colors and materials go extremely well together. The seller spent in excess of $100,000 upgrading this home AFTER it was already built. Sheer Elegance is the definition of this home and everyone who sees it agrees. All this for $259,900! That is way below comps. This home was previously listed with another brokerage for $359,900 but owner has insisted, “Sell ASAP.” So submit an offer and seller will review it seriously.
