The Catalina Foothills

Foothills Home Hunt? Is Your Dream Home Hiding in the Wrong Zip Code?

If you're looking for a home in the Catalina Foothills (in 85718 & 85750) being mindful of the difference in median list and sold prices in those two foothills zip codes may provide a helpful input to your search.  MSP=Median Sold Price // MLP=Median List Price

Have a look at the MSP for the 595 homes sold in 2023
85718 & 85750 combined = MSP $780,000
85718  MSP = $836,500
85750  MSP = $699,001
= 85718 sold for +19.67% higher MSP than 85750

                       __________________________________________________
And, not surprisingly, looking at the homes for sale today in 85718 & 85750 shows that homes in 85718 are listed +27.46% higher than those in 85750.

85718 - 47 homes listed for sale today = MLP $1,195,000
85750 - 67 homes listed for sale today = MLP $937,500

(Links will expire 3/01/2024 & the status of each home shown online will change as the listing goes to contract and sells or is otherwise changed)

Undoubtedly you will also find differences, some big some not so big, in the median list and sold prices in various foothills subdivisions. Click here to see a sample of median sold prices in a small variety of foothills subdivisions.

People ask, how long is it taking for homes to go to contract?

That's easy, 44 homes have gone to contract since the 1st of this year.  (links will expire 2/22/2024)

 20 went to contract in 0 to 10 DOM
 = a quick 7 MDOM

14 went to contract in 13 to 65 DOM
= a moderate 53 MDOM

10 went to contract in 69 to 160 days + 1 at 689 DOM
= a pretty slow 120 MDOM

Click thru the links and you will see that homes that went to contract quickly or slowly or in between are pretty well spread out at all price ranges. Also, homes that went to contract the quickest, in 0 - 10 DOM, represent 44% of all contracts while the slowest to contract (69 - 160 DOM) represented 22% of all contracts.

the Foothills Home Market, Then and Now

In 4 Simple Charts

1st Up, The Number of Homes Sold for up to $999,999


Next, Home Sales at $1m+


the Median Sold Price


and for me, the simplest and best barometer of the market, Median Days on Market

That's it, in a nutshell. Some good, some not so good. The Foothills housing market has undergone a significant shift in recent years. And yet, thru it all, the enduring appeal of this special place, the Catalina Foothills, remains strong, driven by its unique location, the magic of the mountains and the desirable lifestyle it affords residents. And while the market will undoubtedly rise and fall in the future the appeal of Foothills living will remain.

That said, Here's hoping for a more balanced and normal market for all of us in 2024.
