Brenda's Tucson Housing Market Report
June 2010

Strongest First Half in Recent Years

Sales Strong In May The strong first quarter carried through into May. This has been an exceptionally strong first half. May unit sales were up another 3.5% over an already stronger than normal April. Buyers are still out in force. May Unit Sales were up over 28% over May 2009.

Inventory is stabilizing. The inventory of homes for sale appears to have stabilized around 6,700 units staying within 100 units or so of that range for all of 2010. This appears to be an appropriate level with most zip codes averaging 6-8 months of inventory.

Homes that are priced aggressively continue to sell quickly while the overpriced ones languish on the market. Sellers, Listen to your agents on pricing. Study the documentation they provide to supporting their recommendation on pricing. It doesn't matter how much you "think or wish" your home is worth, the numbers don't lie. If you don't get it priced correctly at the start you'll have a discouraging road ahead of you.

If you're interested in talking about listing your home we'd be happy to provide our recommendations on how best to proceed.
