Market Activity: March 2015 was another incredible month for the real estate here in Tucson. All market indicators improving on strong sales activity and steadily increasing prices. There's a steady turnover of new inventory out there so there's always new properties to see.

Some quick conclusions we can draw from these Tucson home sales statistics are:

Positive Market Indicators this month: Total Unit sales were up year over year and month over month. Median sales price was up year over year and month over month. Total Sales Volume was up 17% over last month.

Negative Market Indicators this month: None, Market looks strong as we move through spring.

Market Outlook: We have another 6-8 weeks of our traditionally strong spring selling season. March numbers were virtually all on the positive side and April is looking great. We expect April to be another very strong month.

Interest rates remain very low and Lenders continue to slowly ease credit standards for home loans. Both Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac continue to make regular changes to their lending standards, some positive for buyers and some negative but generally leaning in favor of relaxing standards and easing the process of obtaining a new home mortgage. While all these comments from last month's report remain true, interest rates are starting to indicate twitches of heading up. The Fed is talking more and more about raising interest rates this year so the trend is up.

The National Economy continues to improve, particularly on the jobs front. Unemployment now stands at 5.5% which is the lowest rate is several years. Personal spending is increasing and we continue the slow grind up out of the "Great Recession" according to most market pundits. Wage growth is starting to pick up and oil prices remain in the tank, continuing to help our pocket books at the gas station. All these positive signs continue to support improving real estate markets across the nation.
