Any man today who returns from work, sinks into a chair, and calls for his pipe is a man with an appetite for danger.

Authenticity. From Google:Define:

Truthfulness of origins, attributions, commitments, sincerity, and intentions.

According to recent home buying polls, Americans are moving away from "show" and "looks" and "huge" and "just because" features in a home.

Rather, they are looking for more "authentic", "real" and "sharing" features that encourage togetherness with friends and family. It seems to really coincide with the online presence consumers have professionals and friends - through blogging, or Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc., it's about connecting in one big forum, being real and sharing.

After-all, when it's all said and done - no matter how tough things get - no one can ever take, and you can never lose, who you are and what you want to represent with your life.

So what are the top authentic appointments home buyers are looking for?

Kitchens with center islands that open spaces into a family or living area. Creating an open feel and gathering place with no walls or other boundaries to interrupt the flow.

Home office/study/den area. With many people working from home, home schooling children, and/or the increase of online activities - people want an area to retreat and share and be together that is separate from the living area.

Outdoor living areas. Whether it's a nice porch area with potential or an already "set up with outdoor cooking space" area, people know that it is much less expensive to gather outdoors at their homes rather than spending money on "going" to a place to be together.

Neighborhoods and communities with community exercise paths and playgrounds. Long gone are interests in manicured golf courses, clubhouses and community swimming pools.

Energy efficiency. It's tough times for maqny Americans and saving money is tops on the list. In homes, the big energy efficient features include windows, appliances and insulation are what people look for to help keep their costs down - now and in the future!

If you're looking for a home in Tucson - one thing on almost everyone's shopping list is a view.  In the gated home community of Sabino Mountain in Northeast Tucson, the views are simply amazing!  Located atop a ridge on the east side of the Sabino Canyon area, whether you want mountain or city views...or even 360-degree views, this neighborhood should be on your list.

The Catalina Mountains to the north, Rincon Mountains to the east, Santa Rita Mountains to the south, city views, sunrise views & sunset views...gee, am I gushing?  Wellll...lets just say I'm a real fan of beautiful views in Tucson.

To give you a little idea of where and how Sabino Mountain is laid out, here's a map & a satellite photo from Google Maps to show you where the homes are:

This gated community of luxury homes is less than a decade old - with a few building lots still available.  Available homes are generally priced in the high $300's ranging into the $2 millions.  As of this post, there are 15 homes for sale from $299,000 to $1.695 million.  2 lots of .5 acre and .7 acre with incredible views are on the market for just under $600,000 and $700,000 respectively.
