2011 was a challenging year for Sabino Mountain with only 8 sales and prices dipping down to 2003-2004 levels. Final Sales Prices ranged from 231K - 925K. To view all the houses that closed escrow in Sabino Mountain–click on the link: Sabino Mountain.

2012 promises to be a little bit of a nail-biter for Sellers with not much change from 2011, where it may get slightly better or it might get slightly worse. Right now there is a foreclosure under contract (Pepper-Viner, one story; approximately 2,200 square feet on Saddle Drive) that may be the lowest final sales price Sabino Mountain has had in many years–it could sell for below the low 2011 figure of 231K that is, indeed, extremely low. A few years ago the lowest price in Sabino Mountain was in the low 400 thousands. There is a short sale in “The Retreat“, the exlusive 2nd gated area of Sabino Mountain, that is under contract having a List Price of 900K. A few years ago this house would have sold for at least 1.5 million. The final sales prices of houses under contract is not known until they close escrow.

Sellers are very unhappy with the low sales prices they are receiving and buyers are, of course, only willing to pay “fair market value”. Only very serious Sellers should put their homes up for sale in this market. And in order to have a chance at selling their homes they should seek a very experienced agent who knows the neighborhood. The photo is of 4182 N Quail Canyon that sold in June for 925K; this home previously sold three years before for $1,449,000. This home was listed by Keller Williams of Southern Arizona.

If the buyer gets this house at anywhere close to list price, he/she got a screaming deal. 7605 E Crested Saguaro went under contract with a List Price of 900K. Of course, we will not know the final price until it closes. This home first came on the market, not as a short sale, at almost 2.2 million in October 2007; it sold for $1,030,543 in June 2004.

This home is listed by Tierra Antiqua.

As I reflect on the Sabino Mountain sales of this year, it comes to mind that the biggest bargain was the sale of 4224 N Boulder Canyon Place at the unbelievably low price of 441K! This Outpost built semi-custom home has over 3,300 square feet and is sited on over 1/2 acre and has sparkling city views. The previous sale in this home was in 2004 when it sold for 657K. This is one of the three distressed sales of this year, and sold as a “short sale”. This buyer got a tremendous deal!

To view the eight homes that have sold this year click on 2011 Sabino Mountain Sales.

It should be noted the home on 4493 Little Rock that sold for 250K and the one on 4308 N Ocotillo Canyon that sold for 231K were foreclosures, and the one on 4224 N Boulder Canyon that sold for 441K was a short sale. Therefore, 3 out of the 8 sales were distress sales.

My projection of 2012 is that it will not get better. So if you plan on selling your house, list it at an aggressive price with a very experienced agent, or it is unlikely to sell! Unfortunately, the truth is it will take at least a few years for the Catalina Foothills market to pick up.
