Tucson Real Estate Market Report

January 17, 2008 By Administrator Leave a Comment

 

According the Tucson Association of Realtors Multiple Listing Service December 2007 Housing Report the Tucson Market appears to be stabilizing.
Considering that this is the Winter Season, and also comparing December ’07 with the same month ’06, we see a consistent improvement in the number of New Contracts opening escrow (799 Nov. ’07), which, when coupled with the fact that we have fewer new listings coming on the market, creates a shrinking listing inventory of 8708 residential units. In fact the 1590 new listings entering the market was the lowest number since early 2005.
At the Tucson Association of Realtors’ Annual Forecasting Summit on 1-15-07, Dr. Lawrence Yun who is the National Association of Realtors Chief Economist, shared his predictions for the 2008 Tucson real estate market which included the following information.
1.Most declines have already happened.
2, Any further declines will be neighborhood specific and minor.
3. The Buyer pool has been  growing with a demand from  the Baby Boomers, the retirees, and the international buyer.
4. Tucson benefits from being a “Work Class Recreational” region commanding a high premium.
5. Tucson has a job growth rate that should support home price appreciation in the future besides the fact that we hit over a million in population last year.
 
The Leader’s Panel who recently met to discuss Tucson’s Future also commented on “What makes Tucson’s Market Different” included:
 
1.High population and job growth, income growth. Tucson was rated as one of the top technically expanding cites by Fast Company Magazine last year. Only two cities made the list in the USA….. Austin Tx, and Tucson Az.
2. Tucson has a relatively low cost of living, and also a lower than national unemployment rate.
3. Loans are still available, even if you are to believe the current media. Many are FHA loans with little to no downpayment.
4. Tucson has around 4500 residential homes available under $250,000.
5. A declining new construction inventory starts. This actually may mean a shortage in New Home Inventory in 2009.
6. Tucson has a  foreclosure rate on “non sub prime” mortgages that is  lower than the national average.
7. Tucson housing has always been affordable for a desirable place to live.
 
We still have very affordable housing when compared to other western cities, and over 250 days of sunshine a year!
 
2008 is a great time to Buy your Tucson Home!
