Tucson Newsletter – June 2022 Market Report
Active Listings at the end of June 2022 increased 36.1% over May 2022 to 1,601 single family homes on the market. Year over year the inventory of homes increased 41.1% from June 2021. That is now 2 consecutive months Active Listings have increased, but the number of active listings remains at historical lows.
Rising mortgage interest rates appear to have put the brakes on buyers. Closed sales were down 20.6% from June 2021. Current rates are in the 5.75% to 6.25% range and will likely be going higher as the Fed is suggesting a 75 basis point hike in the second half of July 2022.
The Fed is attempting to slow inflation through higher Fed fund rates. Although mortgage rates are not directly link to the Fed funds rate, it is expected that mortgage rates will climb as well.
Will the Tucson housing market start of slow. Probably!
But the question is how much and when. Our July report should be the first signal of what is to come.

August 2022 Tucson Homes Newsletter – Gardening Tips For August/September
Water: Adjust the drip system to accommodate warming temps and monsoon season. Watch for wilting leaves that don’t recover overnight; adjust watering to eliminate stress. Remember to water plants in the morning. From the heat, watch for leaks in your drip system. Large established cacti and succulents will need supplemental watering if monsoon rains are scarce.
Fertilize: Trees, shrubs and vines using ammonium sulfate. Do NOT fertilize anything that goes dormant in winter.
Prune: All the stuff that went wild during the monsoon season.
Plant: Flowering bulbs, herbs, desert shrubs, cacti, euphorbia, agave, yucca, and palms.
