My newest listing, located in Skyline Country Club, offers great value for a very upscale and finished home

My newest listing within the prestigious Skyline Country Club in the Catalina Foothills is something special! It was completely remodeled — down to the studs — in 2002. This property offers high-end features and a location just down the street from the clubhouse. It has a custom feel that few homes in Skyline or anywhere else in the foothills can match.

In Tucson today the average “citywide” time it takes to sell a home is currently 66 days. However this number varies a lot from area to area. Different zip codes and even neighborhoods vary depending upon exactly what type of home you are trying to sell. The time it takes to sell your individual house will depend upon these items:

#1) Price being charged for what your home provides buyers. The price has to be fair for the home to sell. The reason it takes a lot of sellers a long time to sell their house is they initially list way too high on price and nothing else can take hold when buyers dismiss it as simply too expensive.

Vail, Arizona a sleepy small suburb of Tucson is growing fast due to its master-planned community of Rancho Del Lago. Look for Vail to grow exponentially in years to come as Rancho Del Lago brings residents and businesses alike to the area.

Homes for sale in the Rancho Del Lago neighborhood for many in Tucson represent an affordable, classy, and somewhat sophisticated “Off the main drag”, place to call home. Located in Vail Arizona what most would call a suburb of Tucson, Rancho Del Lago offers newer (new homes are still available) homes, great prices, as well as a championship golf course always in near perfect condition.

The Tucson housing market continues to do better, although it is in a lull period right now on the lower end as the tax credit pulled demand forward. The very low end is still selling, but it is slower from about $200k-$300k right now. The higher end is doing much better as those buyers feel more confident about making a purchase and sellers have gotten very realistic in most situations about asking price. Active listings are staying about the same — only up 3.63% over the past year — and new listings are down. This is a good stat for sellers to see, as the competition from other sellers is holding steady.

These new town homes and regular single family homes within the gated Villages At Riverwalk in the Foothills offers a premium residential development for a great price.

A.F. Sterling just opened a new development re-named “The Villages at Riverwalk” which they purchased from a lender after the Hacienda Del Sol town homes built by River Elk LLC  was foreclosed upon. The project was  originally scheduled for 140 upscale town homes of which 21 were actually developed when progress stopped as the market conditions forced the previous developer to stop all work and surrender the development to the lender. A.F. Sterling purchased the 108 remaining lots for sale from Arizona National Bank for $3.1 million which seems like an amazing price of $27,800 per lot…. For prime foothills real estate that’s an amazing price, yet probably also a good deal for the lender as finding developers ready and willing to take on previously failed real estate developments is far and few between in todays marketplace.

While this show is about NYC rehabbed great rooms I think it is important for all home owners to realize good and bad ideas when it comes to making renovations on your home.

When rehabbing living spaces in Tucson Arizona buyers will pay a premium for higher end finishes and what seems to be in the most demand from buyers today is warm, well lite, calming rooms. Home owners should focus also on higher end flooring most preferably a travertine or other higher end tile. Tile is what buyers in Tucson like to see in large living areas while some homeowners could go with wood, tile is the most preferred. Buyers also pay the most for tile vs. wood when the home is being resold.
