Tucson Real Estate Newsletter August 2018 – Mid-Year Review

Click to read

Arizona economy is growing faster than the nation! Tucson added jobs at 1.5%. The Median Sales Price increased 3.4%. Can you guess what had the biggest decrease, Active Listings or Days on Market?

This time of year during the monsoons we not only get rain, we get a yard full of weeds. Of course the hardware store is full of options that are loaded with toxic chemicals. To help protect our precious resource of water, consider this organic option:

1 Gallon Vinegar + 2 C Epson Salt + 1/4 C Dish Detergent

Mix and spray those lovely weeds in the peak of sunlight.

Fertilize: Citrus trees before the end of month.

Prune: Dead flowers and branches.

Plant: Cucumber, snap peas, and squash for fall.
