The Drivers – NO Changes Here! Strong Demand, Low Mortgage Rates And Continued Low Inventory
Demand is strong and inventory continues at striking historical lows. Supply and demand are driving prices up with cash buyers standing in line to buy a Tucson home.
Arizona is one of the top states people are moving to. Buyers are coming in from California, Oregon, Washington and places that June surprise you. Here is a article on where they are coming from.
Sellers are in command as buyers look for their “perfect” home in a market with low — REALLY LOW — inventory.
And the low number of “active listings” in the resale market was moving people to new construction. But new construction home builders are limiting the number of sales per month. It may be hard to comprehend, but some have stopped selling.
Why? Exposure to the increasing cost of supplies and the inability to hire workers.
New homes are still an option, but expect to wait longer for it to be completed. Also, that new construction home will likely cost more than a resale.
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 although 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.
July 2021 Mortgage Update
Mortgage rates are under 3.0% for a 30-year conventional loan. Jumbo loans in the low 3 percents. OMG, who would have thought that. And down payment requirements have been relaxed …….a bit.
The low rates relative to recent year over year appreciation in Tucson home values makes Tucson 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 is a top pick for cities to live in across the United States.
