first a couple of new listings,

---A Joesler, which the listing indicates as; ‘beautiful, clean original Joesler! Breathtaking views, fabulous grassed flat yard with large area for potential pool. Large front courtyard. Very private. This home has been graciously cleaned-up, new paint, new tile in kitchen and baths, new appliances, etc. Cute guest house. Owner is licensed to sell real estate in AZ’ 

Built 1944/burnt adobe construction/4075 sf/5 beds/4 baths/1 acre/$875,000/at 5450 N Calle La Cima

It was on and off the market in 05, 06, 07 and 08, and priced as high as $1,495,000 and failed to sell. It’s been two years since I’ve seen it so I’ll reserve my comments until I can get over there for a look. But hey, it’s a Joesler and it’s under a million.

---Then there’s 4388 N Sabino Mountain Dr on Sabino Mountain, and the listing agent says, ‘TRULY BREATHTAKING, KING OF THE HILL RIDGE TOP VIEWS, SEE THE EASTERN CATALINAS, REDDINGTON PASS, AND THE RINCONS FROM THIS EAST FACING PATIO, OVERLOOKING THE BLACK BOTTOM POOL. GATED EXCLUSIVE SABINO MOUNTAIN NEIGHBORHOOD

Built 2001/frame stucco construction/4735 sf/5 beds/4.5 baths/1+ acre/$1,395,000/at 4388 N Sabino Mountain Dr

It last sold for $920,000 in July 05, and so it’ll be interesting to see if today’s buyers agree with the 51% price appreciation now being asked for this house.

---Finally!! 7055 E Foothills View Ct went to contract today. It’s a spec house completed in 07 that’s been sitting on the market since July 06. It’s a nice house, but, it sits right next to Kolb Rd just a bit south of the retail plaza at Kolb & Sunrise, that’s a busy spot. And I know it only too well, because I’d listed the lot in 02 and had it on the market for more than 2 years with not much action. Then suddenly in 04 – the start of the craze- BAM!! everything sprang to life and I got two offers in one day and sold it for $1,000 over list - $121,000. And they built a spec house expecting to cash in, but instead got three years of agony. It started out in 06 at $900,000 and went to contract today at $595,000. I hope this stays together, enough is enough.

---now this takes the cake, the house I mentioned the other day that went to contract less than one minute after being listed, now takes the cake again, this time for the quickest sale in the west. It closed escrow today, two days after going to contract, for it’s $825,000 list price. And at $283/sf it might have been a good deal, but it wasn’t a steal. That’s 7481 N Moon Spirit Ln in Cobblestone.

---And late breaking, a little birdie just told me that the owners of the house at 4610 N CAMINO REAL are anxious for an offer, wink-wink, hint, hint. This house is in meticulous condition and oozes charm from every pore, including the guest house, and at 4254 sf, listed at $875,000, or $205/sf, it’s rather attractively priced already.
