homes for sale tucson: Gladden Farms Marana Homes for Sale Hits Holiday Slump - 01/29/14 01:26 AM
Gladden Farms Marana Homes for Sale Hits Holiday Slump
Good news for homebuyers, not-so-heartening for those homes listed already in the Gladden Farms, Rancho Marana neighborhoods of Marana, AZ.
Sellers often get frustrated when comps and history seems to be optimistic and moving forward, and then the market hits a stall.  According to TARMLS reports here in the Tucson area...almost ALL areas slowed during November and December.  And, in all talks, classes, and reports I've read regarding 2014, everything sounds pretty optimtic for this new year.
Optimism and positive thinking are great, but I've found home-sellers still want to know what's … (0 comments)

Positive Outlook for 2014 Unit Sales in Gladden Farms, Marana, AZ

Studying the trends of sales in the Master-planned community of Gladden Farms, I took the total number of CLOSED sales, both new construction and resale over the past five years.
There are several variables to keep in mind as well.
First off, inventory.  This tracks the sales for this entire time period, but cannot compare them to the actual homes for sale at the same time.  Statistically, inventory has been lower all over Tucson and Marana this past year.
New Construction sales at 28 out of 137 accounted for … (1 comments)

Tucson Real Estate Market Reflects Gloomy Weather for November

As a sun lover, as much as I appreciate the rain, I love, love, love the sunny days of Tucson, Marana, and Oro Valley.  It seems for November 2013, the real estate market is looking a bit less sunny as well.  Forecasters do expect sales and activity to jump with the new year.

Sales are down all over Tucson in general for the month of November, according to the newest statistics from the Tucson Area Realtors Association.
Total Sales Volume of $178,915,596, has decreased 17.72% from October’s number of $217,449,776. … (2 comments)

homes for sale tucson: "There Must Be Something Wrong With It!" - 11/03/13 01:39 AM
"There Must Be Something Wrong With It!"
I received an email forward from clients yesterday regarding a townhome found on Zillow.com that had caught their eye! 
393 days on the market, the report stated.  What's key here is the report says....days on Zillow.

In looking at tarmls.com, our Tucson Area Realtors Multiple Listing Service, the original listing was on the market 267 days.  The listing expired and is now back on the market at 85 days, for a total of 352 days.  Ok...so maybe a difference of 41 days in this particular incidence is not that much...but it isn't … (29 comments)

homes for sale tucson: What is Your Thought on Decals or Wall Art in Listed Homes for Sale Tucson? - 02/11/13 10:50 PM
What is Your Thought on Decals or Wall Art in Listed Homes for Sale Tucson?
Personalization.  Some times it really looks great in a child's room or travel study of your friend's home.  But the day comes when the home is listed and a buyer walks into the vacant room.

As a listing agent...do you instruct your buyers on how to best present their home -- perhaps as a blank canvas -- or do you let it slide.
What about when they are still living in the home while it is listed?

Yesterday I had a listing appointment and … (6 comments)

homes for sale tucson: Year of the Dragon or, "Oh, the Things you Find When House Hunting" - 01/06/13 02:21 AM
Year of the Dragon or, "Oh, the Things you Find When House Hunting"
 

New Year's Day I was out showing homes, and the bedroom of one sported some talented original painting.
Curious, I did a bit of research on the symbolism of a dragon, and learned the following:
Chinese dragons generally symbolize strong, auspicious powers and are symbols of power, strength and good luck.  This one must have been our lucky dragon, because the buyers found a home not long after (not this one) and had an accepted contract by January 4.
Be your own dragon slayor and call … (5 comments)

homes for sale tucson: Flipping With Investors: FHA Rules and Guidelines - 12/22/12 08:14 AM
Flipping With Investors:  FHA Rules and Guidelines If you work with investors, the Federal Housing Administration's extension of the "quick flip" is good news.  The program was due to expire on December 31, but this move by FHA encourages the purchase of foreclosed and distressed properties, repair and remodel, and resale...all within 90 days.
     
I personally like the affect the small-time investor has had on homes for sale in Tucson.  We call it a "beautification project" and if you can be satisfied with consistent, modest gains...this can be an area for you as well.  There's just a few … (2 comments)

homes for sale tucson: Are You Flummoxed and Fuddled Over Short Sales in Tucson AZ? - 11/08/12 12:34 PM
Are You Flummoxed and Fuddled Over Short Sales in Tucson AZ?
According to Merriam-Webster, to discombobulate is to "confuse or upset".  Synonyms includes similar thoughts such as bewilder, addle, flummox, fuddle, mystify and perplex.
Does the thought of a short sale leave you short-tempered, searching for short cuts?

I've got the answer!!!!
It's interesting that the urban dictionary says to recombobulate is not exactly the opposite of discombobulate, but rather, "to put something back the way it was or, to put something into proper working order".
Need to make sense of today's real estate market and homes for sale Tucson, … (2 comments)

Looking for a Bit of Space in your Homes for Sale Tucson Search?

In showing properties these past couple of weeks, and in holding open houses, I've become aware of a recent trend that might include you, the reader.

I'm finding more and more folks just want a bit of space, so land around their properties.  It can be within city limits, or even a rural drive - but the most common request I've had lately is for a bit of privacy.

I held this lovely home open yesterday in the Oro Valley Country Club Subdivision.
