Ironwood Reserve Foreclosure Deal

Ironwood Reserve On Tucson’s Northwest side just northwest of the intersection at Cortaro and Silverbell represents a well developed newer home neighborhood off of Pima Farms road just north of Continental Reserve. Currently homes in Ironwood Reserve are selling for much less then they sold for during the boom of 2004-2005 prices are down in some situations over 50%! One of the best foreclosure deals on the NW side and one I personally went to was this listing at 7812 W Sage Creek Marana, AZ 85743. This home was built by Meritage Homes in 2006 and features many upgrades including 6 bedrooms, 3 baths, large kitchen island, pool, contemporary floor plan, etc.

Short Sale Deal In Dove Mountain

There is a short sale deal in Dove Mountain that I was told is bank approved. This deal is very good considering it’s a 4 bedroom single story, 2 car garage, with a pool and spa for $180k. That’s an amazing price for Dove Mountain Property. The pictures of the home show it to be in great shape and the comments explain it has new carpeting, GE Appliances, ceiling fans, wood blinds, etc.

There currently is a foreclosure property that just hit the market in Continental Reserve in Marana that seems to be one of the (if not “the) best deals on the NW side of town currently. Continental Reserve is a premium area of newer homes just north of Silverbell and Cortaro in the 85743 zip code. Foreclosure homes like this home come up very rarely (at best) and are purchased quickly. The price of this 3 bed, 2 bath, den placed on a corner lot is $173,900 that works out to $99.09/ square foot!

Last week’s open house in Cimarron Foothills Estates was probably the best open house I have ever done. I had at least 28 sets of buyers through the home most of them serious buyers looking for a new property. I also had many people from other parts of the country who were down here looking (or thinking) that a second home or winter home would be a great fit for them. Most of the winter visitors I spoke with were from the Midwest. I think the main reason the open house was so successful was due to its proximity of it being at the front of the Cimarron neighborhood just off of Sunrise. The main intersection of Craycroft and Sunrise drove a lot of traffic into the home even though the weather didn’t cooperate much on Sunday (low temps and rain well low temps for Tucson which is in the 40’s)
