Holy Mutton Chops, Batman, That's A Lot of Sheep New Years Day I was taking a little field trip to check on a few rural properties in Marana, AZ.  Along Sanders Road, I am accustomed to seeing fields of Black Angus, Farmers Harvesting Cotton, a Few Hot Air Balloons and even a blimp parked on occasion at the Marana Regional Air Field. But this made my jaw drop.  Hundreds and hundreds of mama sheep with their cute little bawling babies. I guess Marana Ranchers are going to be serving up some WOOL to go with all our Pima County Cotton.

KB Homes Coming to Gladden Farms, Marana, AZ Driving around the neighborhood on New Year's Day 2014, I came across this sign in Block Nine of the master-planned community of Gladden Farms in Marana, AZ.  It sits at the corner of Gladden Farms Blvd, and School Day, where an elementary school is planned for future development. Currently, several builders have their homes within Gladden Farms.  Pulte, Richmond American, Lennar to name a few of the more prevalent, as well as Meritage across the street in Rancho Marana.

Positive Outlook for 2014 Unit Sales in Gladden Farms, Marana, AZ Studying the trends of sales in the Master-planned community of Gladden Farms, I took the total number of CLOSED sales, both new construction and resale over the past five years. There are several variables to keep in mind as well. First off, inventory.  This tracks the sales for this entire time period, but cannot compare them to the actual homes for sale at the same time.  Statistically, inventory has been lower all over Tucson and Marana this past year. New Construction sales at 28 out of 137 accounted for 18% of all sales in Gladden Farms for 2013. 21 of the remaining were foreclosed upon.  32 were short sales. That left a remaining balance of non distressed resale homes at 56, or 51% of the market for the year.  This...
