The Inventory of Houses for Sale in Sabino Mountain is Small

There are only 4 homes listed for sale in Sabino Mountain. These homes are: Two Monterey two- story homes that are the large floorplan with the upstairs family room priced at $410,000 (short sale listing) and another one priced at $425,000; a Pepper-Viner 2,236 one-story home listed at $418,000 and one custom home that is 3,676 square feet and is located on N Quail Canyon listed at $1,349,000. Since inventory is low, if you are thinking of selling your home, this might be an opportune time. Give me a call at (520) 615-2598 or email me if you would like me to give you a professional market analysis.

Another Sabino Mountain Home is Sold

My listing at 4457 N Sabino Mountain Drive, which is a 3,390 square foot -custom home located 3 doors down from our community pool and club house sold today for $795,000. This home had attractive city views and such upgrades as 14 foot ceilings, porcelain stone floors, two fireplaces, granite counters, gourmet kitchen with large isle and veggie sink, his and hers’ master bedroom walk-in closets and a very upscale master bath with travertine floors and surrounds. After being on the market for well over a year with another real estate agent, I was pleased to sell it in a few weeks.

Remembering Embracing Sabino Mountain for the First Time

Today I was thinking about when I first experienced Sabino Mountain. My family rented a place at The Greens ( near the corner of N Kolb and Sunrise) for 3 months, so we could find a place to live in December 2003. My husband was immediately drawn to Sabino Mountain, but I had my second thoughts since it was not located in District 16 School District and I had already enrolled my first grader into Ventana Vista Elementary School. We would drive up Sabino Mountain constantly, especially since my husband really was attracted to it. Like many other would-be buyers, I looked on-line for new listings at least daily and saw the house we presently live in come up for sale. My husband was at work and my daughter was at school, but I thought I would take a quick look-see. I walked around and looked in the windows; it was vacant and then I tried the door in the back that was surprisedly unlocked. I walked in, checked it out and immediately knew this was the house for us. Every day since I have been grateful. I love facing the city and having the sparkling lights at night; I love owning part of the pristine Sonoran Desert (we live on a 2 acre homesite with most of it designated as desert area not to be built upon or disturbed except to take out buffle grass,etc); and I love the privacy. I would probably only chose to live in a gated community which Sabino Mountain is. So dream come true! Our family is truly blessed!
