It all started in 2004 when a builder/investor bought 6500 N St Andrews Dr as teardown for $480,000. At that time it was a 1967 built, masonry constructed 3200 sf house on the 7th fairway at Skyline Country Club,
that looked like this
and this, 
But they quickly tore that down and put this up - a new 4200 sf frame stucco place that looks like this, 
and this, 
So before you could say Home Depot, another spec home was born
in Skyline CC – ground zero for teardowns in the Foothills.
But they listed it in 2006 for the very un-Home Depot like price of $2,100,000. And after countless price cuts, dragged out over nearly 4 years, it left the market last month, still unsold, at $1,300,000 as a short sale.
And if you dragged your feet on this one, fear not, it’s back today, at what should be a very attractive price - but who can say anymore - of $949,900 ($229/sf) as a foreclosure. And it’s still on the 7th fairway at Skyline.

PS- Just yesterday I mentioned a spec home in Pima Canyon that sold for $2.0M. So it can happen, but these days there are fewer and fewer winners in the high-end spec home game.
