Brenda's Tucson Housing Market Report
October 2014

Fall Selling Season Begins

Weather is Fantastic, Golf Courses are Full and Buyers are out in Force

Average Days On Market = 59 ~ Sales Price as a % of List Price = 97.14%

Market Activity: September was another solid month although sales dipped again this month (by 1.24%) over same period last year. We've been listing new homes like crazy and expect to see strong sales activity for October and November especially.

Catalina Foothills New Listings: 217, Up 17 units from last month.

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

Positive Market Indicators this month: Total Sales Volume was up 5.29% from last year, Average sale price was up 6.61% over last year, Days on Market is dropping again and now stands at 59, Average list price was up 6.48% over last year and Median sales price was up 6.18% year over year.

Negative Market Indicators this month: Total units sold continue to slow as we head into fall. Active listings were up 15% over last year (good for buyers, bad for sellers).

Market Outlook: This years annual end of summer lull seems to be a little longer than normal but we expect the market to start picking up rapidly in October & November. Despite all predictions, interest rates continue to remain low, Lenders continue to slowly ease credit standards for home loans and there's lots of housing inventory currently available.

The National Economy continues to slowly improve with more jobs and lower unemployment. We continue to expect stronger economic numbers for the 3rd and 4th quarters which should further stimulate the real estate market both locally and nationally.

The FED is expected to announce the end of Qe3 this month. Most economists predict the FED will begin slowly increasing rates sometime in mid 2005, although any robust economic indicators in the next quarter or two could move that rate increase forward into the first half of next year. We monitor this closely as it is a precursor to increased mortgage rates.
