I'm talking pure contemporaries and better yet new or recently built pure contemporaries. Or homes that have been recently renovated and remodeled in the contemporary style. Not Southwestern contemporaries.
like this. With simple, clean lines
and this
(the homes pictured above are purely for illustration, they are not homes for sale in Catalina Foothills)
Here in the Catalina Foothills we're seeing more contemporaries, mostly at the upper price ranges, from about $900,000 and UP. And they are selling well. Better, for more $$ and faster than anything else in the same price range.
Of the 4 homes in contract in pima canyon, 3 are contemporaries. There was a 4th contemporary in contract but it fell out.
I pick Pima Canyon because it is the subdivision most likely to have newer contemporaries because it is the subdivision that had and probably still has more buildable lots than any other high-end gated subD in the Catalina Foothills.
A brand new contemporary sold in Pima Canyon last September for $2,331,000 ($420/sf) before it even hit the market.
A contemporary sold last month after just 11 days on the market in Skyline CC for $1,450,000 ($437/sf) - I saw that and thought WOW! $437/sf. So I went back to 1995 and since then 346 homes have sold in Skyline and $437/sf is the highest $/sf sold price in 23 years. The next highest is was a sale in 2006 for $393/sf.
A contemporary in a non-gated area located on a lot that is, in my opinion, way too close to a busy road, went to contract recently.
last year a contemporary located in Flecha Caida Ranch Estates sold for $1,250,000 ($312/sf) - the most expensive home sold in Flecha in the last 8 years. And at $1,250,000 it's head and shoulders above the $395,000 median sold price and $154/sf median sold price of the 197 homes sold in Flecha in the last 8 years.
Contemporaries, they're hot and they are scarce.
