Market Statistics: Buying and Selling Homes in Gladden Farms, Marana
September 2011 (Last report April 2011)
- 124 homes listed on MLS as ACTIVE, ACTIVE CONTINGENT, ACTIVE CAPA, PENDING, and SOLD
- At posting time, 20 homes are ACTIVE and for sale in Marana (Tucson) AZ, down from 31
- 8 of the 20 available homes are new construction
- In the last six months, 67 homes have sold versus 60 during a six month period prior to April, 2011
ACTIVE listings are priced from $106,000 for 1251 sqft to $234,900 for 5 bedrooms and 2880 sqft, averaging a list price of $80.27 a sq. foot. This is up from April's price of $79.57
SOLD listings are selling for $69.70 a sq. foot, so on average they are selling significantly lower than they are currently priced. The median home price during the past six months is at $129,800. This continues to drop from earlier in the year when the average sold price was at $72.36. I believe the reason for this is because only one of the current existing construction homes for sale is NOT a short sale or REO, bank-owned property.
To make it easier to understand, imagine a 2000 sq. foot house. At Gladden Farms current average, you could expect to find that property averaging around $139,400.
What's sad is, these affordable prices do not reflect the value that is Gladden Farms. Gladden Farms is a well maintained, immaculate community. New construction is booming with Pulte, Richmond American, Lennar, and others all building in the area. Homes are aged from 2005 and later, so many are still under builder warranty.
Home buyers can expect cozy 2 bedroom homes or sweeping, 5 bedroom homes over 3000 sq. feet, one and two story elevations. Lots range from .14 to .36 of an acre, so there is plenty of room to build a pool, if you haven't found the home you are looking for with one already constructed.
All in all, Gladden Farms is a community filled with fantastic buying opportunities. The surrounding parks, greenways, play areas, picnic spots and recreational activities make this a lovely community within which to live. Community shopping, schools, future park and recreational facilities are all a part of the Gladden Farms Community Plan.
Nearby, enjoy the Ora Mae Harn park with community pool, the Gladden Farms Community Park with Baseball and soccer fields, Marana Town and Municipal Buildings, Rodeo Grounds, Health Care Center, Heritage River Park, Pima County Library and more.
