Tucson Market Reports – What are your thoughts on getting more specific?
November 19, 2009 | By Kelley Koehler | Filed Under Market Reports
You may have noticed I’m kind of a numbers geek. I track some rather detailed statistics for the Tucson real estate market and make all kinds of lovely charts over on my Tucson market conditions site. A lot of that data gets put into charts, but never really explained in any detail. There’s data that I collect and analyze that I don’t even publish anywhere. I do a monthly citywide market analysis – and warn you every month that the market in this city varies widely from one side to the other – but never really talk about those different areas.
So I’m wondering, dear reader.
If I were to produce another 9 market reports, one for each area of the city, would that be helpful?
We could dive into smaller regions of Tucson, see what’s moving and what isn’t and in what price ranges. See where demand is, see how list and sales prices change over time and at what rates.
I was thinking we could look at 2-3 areas per week, spread them out over the month so you’re not inundated with 10 market reports in a day (if you’re reading this from the blog directly). And if you’re subscribed to just the market reports via email now, you could also subscribe to the part of town you’re most interested in, track that market segment more closely.
Would that be helpful to you? I’d love to hear your opinions.

Got something to say?


Kelley…I think it is a great idea!
Sounds good to me. Put me down for details in N, NE.
I too feel it is valuable information. Most interested in the Central area, especially around the U of A.
I’m always interested in how to best present data for quick visual assimilation by humans. I wonder if some automated code can convert things into geographical “heat” maps? A user would pick a parameter, like the % change in average price from last month, and that would be calculated and presented blue to red on a map of zones.
That approach works well to visualize change in a single parameter from month to month (who’s hot and who’s not). For most other stuff, I think line graphs with multiple plots work best.
I’m very happy with your reports as is. Maybe, at a latter date. I might want some specific info on an area of the city but I’m sure you would provide it if I asked. Thank you for the info and service you currently provide. I’m sure it takes alot of time to prepare.
Great idea, much more relevant to the individual. I am especially interested in values in Sam Hughes.
I think those reports broken down by specific areas would be so value to me. Looking forward to seeing those reports.
Thanks
