This Cat 10 beauty is listed at 845K; built almost 20 years ago and having over 4,400 square feet, a lucky buyer scooped it up.  Russ Lyon Sotheby’s is expanding into the Luxury Catalina Foothills Market.

Ridge-top LaPaloma Home Sells for $1,065,000

Monday, April 16th, 2012

la-paloma.jpgLynn Kline Realty sold 3413 E Via Palomita for $1,065,000 after being listed  for six months at a starting list price of $1,295,000. This home previously sold for 950K in 2000.  With almost 5K square feet and its ridge-top location, one would have thought it might sell for more, but as prices have or are bottoming in this price-range, the deals will be evaporating.

Ventana Canyon Home Sells for less than 1/2 the List Price

Thursday, April 12th, 2012

ventana.jpgAmazing; a home that had been listed for 3.5 million sold today for $1,500,000 by Long Realty in Ventana Canyon. 6260 N Whaleback Place, which is a very spacious home (5,800 square feet) on an acre lot, made it to closing today at an incredible price!

This is the Year for Pima Canyon!

Thursday, April 12th, 2012

pima1.jpg2042 E Quiet Canyon Drive with a List Price of $1,199,000, and after being on the market for quite some time (starting out in May 2010) at a List Price of $1,299,000, finally sold today for $1,034,000. This over 4K square foot home suffered from backing to E Ina Rd (not real busy like the “real” Ina Rd which is the road that starts off as Sunrise and then goes into Skyline and then finally goes into Ina and much later hits I-10), but it is still best not to back to a street that gets some traffic.

Incredibly Priced Pima Canyon Home Sold

Thursday, April 12th, 2012

Russ Lyon – Sotheby’s International Realty sold 1308 E Desert Garden Drive for an incredible price of 840K. This very Danish- style Contemp has a little over 3,200 square feet and has the pool in front, which was unusual–though I must say I really liked it. Both features probably drove the price down from the original listing price of $1,280,000 (listed by another brokerage) to the final list price of range price of 899K-929K, which was so aggressively priced and well- marketed, it was sure to sell!!!!!!!

Pima Canyon is Hot; Another One Closes Escrow

Pima Canyon is selling well because so many of the homes have been reduced to the 1 million- 1.5 million price point.

Almost New Catalina Foothills Home Sells for 960K
