Brenda's Tucson Housing Market Report

MLS Releases Monthly Report Late This Month

Average Days On Market = 91 ~ Sales Price as a % of List Price = 94.54%

Outlook Brightening: Well, we appear to be picking up a little wind now as we head into fall with Unit Sales in August up 11% more than in July. The market is showing signs of improving and the snowbirds will soon be back.

Mid-Term Elections: The mid-term elections are right around the corner and that will hopefully have a positive effect on public confidence as we re-adjust the makeup of the congress. No matter what your political affiliation we believe people are generally dissatisfied with the current economic climate and looking forward to putting some new folks in the congress.

The economy is Slowly Improving, almost all economic statistics point to that, but the man on the street doesn't see it yet. We really need some positive news on the economic front to get this recovery moving.

We introduce a couple of New Statistics this month. At the top of the page we will be posting Average Days On Market data and also the Percentage of Asking Price Homes are Selling For.

Feel free to contact us with your questions. We're easy to talk to and we can answer any questions you might have about current market conditions, interest rates or where home prices are headed. If you're interested in talking about listing your home we'd be happy to provide our recommendations on how best to proceed.
