And a good day for Ventana Country Club
First there’s 6400 N Desert Wind Cir in Ventana Country Club Estates.
Listed for $639,000 it sold for just $570,000 ($246/sf), but it did so in just 49 days.
These are very popular, or were, with second home owners. They’re smaller homes on small lots, no fuss, low maintenance and nicely located within the pearly gates of Ventana. This one-built 1999/2312 sf/2 Beds+ den/2 Baths/on not quite 1/4 acre. There was a time when homes like this flew off the shelf. But because they’re almost always purchased as a 2nd or 3rd home, and therefore a very discretionary purchase, they’ve suffered quite a bit in the downturn.
But that may be changing. Because 5886 N Golden Eagle Dr, also in Ventana and also a golf villa/patio home type residence, also sold today. Very similar to Desert Wind, Golden Eagle was built in
1995/2226 sf/2 Beds+ Den/2 Baths on 1/10 of an acre. Listed at $599,000 it went for $562,000 ($252/sf). But if you’re looking, fear not, there are still 13 of this type for sale in Ventana.
And # 3 in Ventana, but not a patio home, 6271 N Whaleback Pl listed for $999,000 sold for $960,000 ($274/sf) This is one of the homes that had recently dropped from a million+ to just under a mil and then went quickly to contract. Original list price was $1,275,000
And Cha-ching! selling today for $2,700,000 ($342/sf), 5831 E Finisterra ranks as the 3rd highest price sale this year in the Foothills.
First listed for $4.1 in April 08, this October it dropped from $3.4 to $2.9 and 7 days later went to contract. It last sold in 2004 for $1.8, but had a ‘floor to ceiling redesign & update’. Built 1988/7882 sf/1.4 acre/4 Beds/4.5 Baths/masonry construction/pool-spa/3 car/in Finisterra.
Finally, 6585 E Placita Elevada in Cimarron, which, when it was listed in September, I wrote that it couldn’t last. Well it didn’t and then it did. It went to contract in 6 days but fell out and then sat around for a month or so before another buyer came along. Today it closed for $570,000 ($172/sf) off a $592,500 list price.
