tucson home sales: Tucson Home Sales September 2008 - 10/10/08 12:36 PM
Tucson home sales for September broke the mold for seasonal sales. Normally sales in September are less than August. Not in 2008. Go figure, the economy has tanked, credit has tanked, nobody fully trusts either candidate for President, nothing but negative-negative-negative in the economic news, yet Tucson home sales go up.

April was a pretty good month for sales. As of this writing there have been 907 recorded home sales through the MLS. Of course, reporting so earlier not all the sales have been reported to the MLS. So we can expect the numbers to be a little higher. The lowest sales price

There is no doubt that 2007 turned into a Buyer’s Market. December was a reflection of previous six months of real estate sales. Not as good as many homeowners and Realtors would have liked. Not immune to the events of the year. But, better than many parts of the country. Tucson
