Well, we’ve hit our winter market. Sales are down, pendings are down, and listings are fairly stable, actually. Citywide, we came in at 13.4 months of inventory for November, which is roughly where were were last winter too. The only difference is that sales prices are down.

Citywide, the average home in November was $224,086, with the average single family home weighing in a tad higher at $233,754. Typically, those two values have a bit more spread between them, but the higher end market sort of dropped out, and those large luxury property sales aren’t there to skew values higher. You can see this effect in the median sales price as well, at $184,000 in November.

Typically, we’ll see this seasonal slowdown through about March. Most of the people out there buying over the holidays are the serious ready-to-go buyers, ready to cut some deals. If you’re one of those people out there trying to sell your home over the winter months, you have got to be positioned incredibly competitively right now. There’s fewer buyers, with a lot of choice – but if they’re sniffing around now, they’re usually serious about making a decision and moving.

If only to further prove the luxury market has stalled, the North and Northeast, the priciest areas of town, both have 18 months of inventory, the highest across the city, with the East coming in at the lowest, at 9.96 months of inventory.

As always, there are extensive charts and statistics and whatnot, broken down by area and type of housing, over at Statistics.Housechick.com. The market in this city varies widely from one end to the other, so you can check out what’s going on in your area over at that section of my site.

Data gathered from the Tucson MLS and is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Figures quoted here include only single family homes, townhomes, and condos in the 9 areas that make up the Greater Tucson Area: NW, N, NE, W, C, E, SW, S, and SE.

Tucson Market Statistics and Report – September 2009 (October 12, 2009)
We’re heading into our Tucson winter slow-down. Activity is actually a little higher than I expected, especially in the lower price ranges. There are lots of buyers out there trying to take advantage of that $8000 tax credit – and they all need to close on a home by the end of November.
