The Drivers – Demand, Low Mortgage Rates And Low Inventory
COVID – 19 not with standing the Tucson housing market continues at a strong pace. Sellers are having sweet dreams as buyers look for that “perfect” home in a market with low inventory.
New construction home sales remain high. And the low level of “active listings” in the resale market is moving people in that choice. New homes are being built across Tucson. But in most cases, that new construction home will likely cost more than a resale.
Landscaping, decorating and window treatments are not included. 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. Arizona has been relatively safe compared to many other states regarding COVID cases. Demand continues to be strong, but the inventory of homes for sale is at a new low. Under 2,000 homes.
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.
