Skyline Country Club - Home Under Contract - List Price 1.350 Million

6640 N Los Leones Drive, a territorial  located on the 15th fairway on an acre at Skyline Country Club went under contract today. This 4,700 square foot home has been renovated since it last sold in February 2004 at $819,000. So this goes to show some homes, especially with renovations can appreciate since 2004, because this one shows 64% appreciation. This is a sign Tucson Luxury Foothills homes prices have stabilized and likely are going up! Those sitting on the sidelines and waiting for the bottom to hit will find that it is likely it has already hit. Time is of the essence!

A Home in Catalina Foothills Sells Quickly and at Price that Goes Against the Norms

In most cases homes that sell a year and a half ago and want to sell again, will lose money. 4735 N Camino Antonio went against the norm. It sold for $625K a year and a half ago, and is under contract today with a list price of 685K. The reason it probably represents a sale without a price decline is because this older - 1958 home - is located on a prime 2.5 acre homesite with great teardown potential. Although it is not in the Catalina Foothills - District 16 school district - it has a prime location off of Hacienda del Sol Rd.

Some Catalina Foothills Schools Still have Open- Enrollment this Summer

On the Catalina Foothills-District 16  School District - website is reveals that there are still the following grades and schools available for open-enrollment this summer:

Esperero Canyon Middle     8th grade

Manzanita Elementary        5th grade

Canyon View Elementary   Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades

Sunrise Drive Elementary   Kindergarten, 3rd and 5th grades

Ventana Vista Elementary  All grades K-5

 Apparently there are no open-enrollment openings in the middle schools, except for the 8th grade in Esperero Canyon Middle School, and there are no openings in the high school–Catalina Foothills High School.  Of course, you can rent or buy in the district and go to the school designated for your neighborhood.

 Normally open- enrollment applications are accepted December 1st - February 28th for the next school year. It it great that there are still some opportunities to enroll in this coveted Tucson public schools in the summer.
