Just listed and will be officially on the market on 01/11/08. This home is just off Oldfather (between Ina and Cortaro) on the northwest side. The home features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a POOL and 2-car garage! In addition, the lot is huge and could be turned into an oasis if the future owner would like. The home is 1476 sq. ft., and offers a fireplace in the living room and a large office area that would be perfect for anyone who runs a home business. It has enormous storage capacity and lots of counter space that could be used as an additional office area or space for children to do homework. This would also be perfect for two professional people who each need their own personal office areas (as is the case at my house, where I am a real estate agent and my fiancé is a loan officer). This home is very reasonably priced at $149,900 (call for up-to-date pricing if interested). This home is in need of a little TLC, but the price truly does reflect a bargain. Similar properties are priced at (or above) 175k. This home is a short sale, and all offers must be accepted by the lender/court. For additional information, please click here. If you have any questions, please contact listing agent Michael Oliver at (520) 247-4134 or email him at moliver@sellingtucsonrealestate.com.

I recently listed a property on the SW side (7306 W Moonmist Pl, Tucson AZ 85757), located in Star Valley just west of Casino of the Sun and the AVA Amphitheater, and minutes from shopping and entertainment. This location would be perfect for someone who likes entertainment and enjoys living towards the outskirts of town with much less traffic. The property itself is 2156 sq. ft., single story, 4-bed, 2-bath, built in 2001 by US HOME. The home sits on a lot that is OVER ¾ of an acre and is surrounded by other homes on similar lot sizes allowing ample space for all residents. You really get the feel that you’re in a custom-built neighborhood. Homes like this are rarely priced at $234,900! (This is the currently listed price. Please call to verify.) Behind the property sits an open area and the nearest neighbor to the back is roughly over 100 yards away. Inside the home, the 4 bedrooms are larger than average and the overall floor plan is very livable. Carpeting, tile, and vinyl appear to be in tremendous shape as are the other items in the home. Pricing of this home is very reasonable at $234,900 and is at least 20k below other homes in the neighborhood. If you are looking for additional details about this home, please contact Michael and his team because this home should sell FAST! Click here for photos and additional information on this listing.

National homebuilder Standard Pacific has left the Tucson marketplace, selling their business to local Arizona real estate executives Chris Kemmerly and Steve Quinlan. Standard Pacific entered the Tucson market in 2004 when they purchased Chris Kemmerly’s Kemmerly Homes which owned and built the Miramonte brand, which was very successful and well known in Tucson. I believe the reasons for their departure are self-evident. Standard Pacific was taking significant losses. Their stock price indicated serious trouble at the company. Standard Pacific is selling their Tucson operations to raise cash and prevent future losses. Standard Pacific sold about 700 lots ready for homes to be built and about 70 homes that are all currently in some phase of construction. The new company says they will be also be looking to purchase more land and subdivisions later in the year for additional building.
