If you are the type that adds up the details and checks it against the total, you will find the details are 38 less than the total. Hmmm, the same as last month. Looks as if the marketing majors are still doing the data.

The Takeaway

Mortgage Rates

Inflation continues to cause issues for the Fed and recent inflation data suggests Fed rate reductions may have to wait until 2025. A quick review of mortgage rates in Arizona shows a 30-year fixed rate of 6.99%. 15-year fixed rate at 6.50% and a 7/6 ARM at 6.875%.

Of course, credit scores and regional incentives would affect these rates.

Demand

March 2024 sales of 1,271 were DOWN 8.2% from the prior year. But the average price of homes sold in February was UP 10.6% from March 2023. The sales price to list price ratio was at 98.47%. Abeit, under 100% but suggesting demand remains strong in the Tucson, AZ market.

Current interest rates may be slowing sales, but buyers are paying close to list for a Tucson home.

> Inventory Of Homes for Sale

New listings came in at 1,845 in March. An increase of 224 over the prior year. That’s 13.7% by the way.

> Prices

Prices continue to increase year over year as shown by the median sales price was up 7.3% year over year. OH, and the average price increase of 10.6%.

> The Bottom Line

Mortgage rates continue to hover in the 6.9% to 7.25% range. But concessions at some new home builders are offsetting those rates.

No change in the near-term outlook! Continued demand, prices up and home inventory improving somewhat, but at historical low levers. Will some snowbirds put their home on the market as they head to their summer homes? We know a few that have, and their home sold quickly.

It’s deja vu all over again on new construction. New home builders are steadily raising prices in response to demand with low resale inventory.  Most buyers are happy as well to get a new home and not need to remodel anything. New home builder incentives may also play a part in the new construction option.
