8500 E Solar Place was only on the market one day and it went under contract; it sold for 805K. It previously sold for 635K as a short sale in 2009 and previous to that sold for 875K at the top of the market in April 2006.  It is notable that this newer custom home–only 6 years old is nestled in a very quiet part of town with older homes near Hidden Valley and Canyon Ranch, minutes from Sabino Canyon. It is was a great value for these savvy buyers–especially for a 3,900 square foot custom home sited on .73 private homesite. This home was marketed by Long Realty.

The sweet spot in the market for Sellers now seems to be between 500K – 800K; finally the better housing market is moving up from the houses priced below 500K. 2014 will be a good year for Sellers, but for Buyers waiting that long could mean higher home prices.
