The Drivers – NO Changes Here! Strong Demand, Low Mortgage Rates And Low Inventory
Demand is strong and inventory remains at historical lows. Supply and demand are driving prices up.
Sellers are in command as buyers look for their “perfect” home in a market with low — REALLY LOW — inventory.
Demand for new construction remain high. And the low number of “active listings” in the resale market is moving people to that choice. There are new homes are being built across Tucson, but in most cases a new construction home will cost more than a resale. Last but not least, new home buyers are waiting 8 to 12+ months to get in the their home.
Keep in mind when buying new construction, landscaping, decorating and window treatments are not included in the price. Want a pool, plan on $45,000 to $70,000 for a standard no frills pool.
And while prices continue to rise, Tucson is still a good value compared to many areas in the U.S
If a “fixer upper” has even a small appeal, check out a 203K FHA loan. Its a good option to have in your pocket when buying a home in Tucson, AZ.
December 2021 Mortgage Update
Mortgage rates have increased to 3.5% to 4.0% for a 30-year conventional loan. Even with these higher rates, 20+% year over year gains make buying a Tucson home an easy choice.
And Tucson remains one of the lower cost of living cities in Arizona and the U.S.
The greater Tucson area continues as a top pick for cities to live in across the United States.

When submitting an offer
Given current inventory levels, low ball offers aren’t getting traction. So, if you “really” want the home, make a “reasonable” offer.
You have to ask yourself, “Will I feel bad if I don’t get this house?” If the answer is no, then put in an offer you would feel is a steal and see what happens. But your chances of a “great deal” aren’t good.
If the answer is yes, put in an offer you and your Realtor think is reasonable.
