To view 7311  E Thimble View Way (LP: 999K) (top photo) (listed by Long Realty) and 5500 E Oakmont Drive (LP $1,590,000) (bottom photo)(listed by Coldwell Banker) click on this link–2 luxury homes under contract. The market is changing and the good ones are being scooped up! Seems  the Tucson Luxury Home Market is following the Scottsdale Luxury Home Market that is already seeing a surge of sales this year! Russ Lyons – Sotheby’s International Realty follows the two markets like no other local real estate company. I am so happy to be affiliated with them!

A little more detail on these houses – Thimble View was on the market for a year with a starting list price of $1,495,000 and Oakmont was on the market for 10 months with no list price change – they thought they had it right in the beginning and the did; it sold for $1,225,000 in April 2003. It is noteworthy that both houses are located near each other in the Catalina Foothills area of North Tucson.
