New and Closed in Aviano
The normal sale Savino model at 3929 East Patrick Lane just closed for $475K or $137 for each of the 3477 sq ft. 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, pool and 3 car garage. Fantastic location as it backs to an area of Cassia Collection homes which are all single story. It also sides to an open walkway area, sits on a cul de sac that includes a pocket park and is right across the street from the mailbox. A good minute and a half walk and you are at Wildfire Elementary School. Congratulations to our new neighbors. Floorplan
A new short sale listing for one of those Cassia Collection homes; the Solaria model at 22319 North Freemont Road is priced at $385K or $139 for each of the 2777 sq ft. A true veteran of the Aviano MLS scene, this home was listed for sale on 1.17.08 and was on the market for 644 days. Pricing went from $689,900 to $575K to $550K before the listing was cancelled. I previewed this home 1.25.08 and at that time it had plantation shutters, gas cooktop, slab granite in kitchen, double oven, gas line in laundry room and gravel in the backyard. Master bath vanity had 3X3 white tiles with white grout on the countertop and tub surround for a seriously institutional feel to the room. I recall there was the cutest little hibachi cooker sitting forlornly in the middle of the all gravel backyard. And I just noticed that if you zoom in on the aerial picture you can actually see the sad little cooking device sitting all alone in an ocean of gravel. Backs to a wash. Floorplan
Another new short sale listing for the San Benito model at 3745 East Donald Drive listed for $435K or $134 for each of the 3253 sq ft. This home does have the casita as you enter the hallway to the front courtyard so 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and 3 car tandem garage. Built in 2006 this is one of 6 models in the Ocotillo Collection. There are 2 sections of Ocotillo Collection homes: directly south of the age restricted mobile home park and on the far east side of Aviano from Rough Rider to Cashman siding to 40th Street. All are 2 story floorplans. This home backs to Rough Rider and has some upgrades visible in the pictures. I love the use of these curtains on patios - a very resorty look! Floorplan

Jay Thompson has this blogpost from his www.phoenixrealestateguy.com website. There is a change in the inventory air.
Lastly, when things close in mls and they really did not close, it truly is due to listing agent asleepatthewheel syndrome. Prior to our last close I got 3 emails from ARMLS alerting me to the fact that indeed, our listing was scheduled to close and to make sure all was in order. After it closed I got this this:
