Although there are 90 homes under contract in the prime Tucson Foothills zip codes of 85750 and 85718, only 52 of them have a list price of $379,000 and over.  Many of the lower- priced homes (under 379K) are condos.  Every price range is represented except the $800K – 1 million price range which only reveals one sale; this is quite unusual and maybe just an anomaly. This demands a close watch in the months to come and could mean that the typical  Foothills move-up market is pretty dead at the present time. There are 10 homes that are priced over 1 million that are under contract and 14 homes that are priced from 379K – 450K that have also joined the  successful sales ranks. Apparently the high-end buyers and the first-time home buyers are still very attracted to the Foothills.  First time home buyers usually find the number one attraction is the top-ranked schools, and the high-end buyers find the Foothills has a magnetic charm with remarkable beauty, fresh air, and fantastic climate that is affordable compared to Scottsdale, San Diego,  and Naples, etc.
