Moving on up... to the mountains!
We have enjoyed living in the high Sonoran desert just north of Tucson fo the last 15 years. The camping in Arizona is nothing short of awesome and we often spend our summers in the mountains beatin...

We were actually downsizing by 25 percent with the new house {1,400 square feet} but the lot is 110 percent larger {.57 ac}. We paid $362,000 which was a strong, no contingency cash offer with an 18 day escrow.
The market up here in the mountains north of Phoenix is roaring as folks from the Valley of the Sun flee for the cooler temps and gorgeous scenery.
I looked at 100 homes and 95 were "Offer pending" so if you do not jump on an available listing it is gone in about 3 heartbeats. The sellers had received an offer the night before we saw the property which we believe was $350K on a list price of $359,900 - to insure we got the place and generate some goodwill on the inevitable negotiations to come I made the $362K offer which they immediately accepted. Turned out there were about $3,000 in relatively minor repairs that were needed and the sellers agreed to split those costs with us and everyone walked away happy.
Here are few interior shots:
