October’s Active Listings continued last months up trend by INCREASING 2.68% from September. Active listings stand at 4,103. But Active Listings under 5,000 continues to be a “tight” market. Year over Year active listings are DOWN 18.64%.
Homes under contract at the end of October INCREASED 0.48% month to month to 2,104.
October Days On Market were FLAT staying at 49 days. Buyers pounced on well-priced homes that met their needs. Although active listings are low, average sales prices declined. Somewhat counter intuitive to economic theory. Or, an indication that buyers are waiting on the sidelines. Will the election results bring more buyers into the market? Perhaps November will reveal the answer.
Tucson Housing Market October 2016 Mortgage Update
Mortgage rates remain under 4.00% in the Tucson AZ housing market. FED meetings continues to push further rate increases into late 2016. Some believe a December rate increase could happen. But the recent slow down in job growth may temper that decision.
Some suggest the FED doesn’t want to affect the election outcome. Or are they waiting on election results and wait for signals from the new administration? Some pundits suggest the FED will hold actions into 2017.
California buyers looking for a lower tax burden continue to head in our direction. Will demand meet our low inventory of homes and start moving prices up? We will just have to wait and see.
And now the Tucson Housing Market October 2016 Report
When submitting an offer
Given current inventory levels, low ball offers aren’t getting a lot of 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. If the answer is yes, put in an offer you and your Realtor think is reasonable.
We will work with you to understand your objectives and analyze the market to determine – as best we can – a price range for the home you want to buy or sell.
