Tucson Home Values And Real Estate Market Trends

Tucson Home Values

Is the value of your Tucson home or Pima County home risen in value in the past 12 months?  Chances are you aren’t alone!  According to a recent article by the Arizona Daily Star, home values are actually on the rise in Pima County.    Depending on the area of town your home is in, the amount of increase can be fairly dramatic!

This naturally can cause concern if you are a homeowner here in Tucson or Pima County.  With rising home values, comes the uncertainty of rising taxes, as well as the spectre of market collapse.  When is the right time to sell?  You want to make sure you sell for the most money possible, without waiting too long, and missing the boat entirely!

Hopefully, this article will help you navigate these uncertain waters!

Why Are Values Rising?

According to Bright Future Real Estate Research, a residental resale analysis firm; sales in the Tucson area were fueled by a lack of inventory.  This creates an entirely predictable result!  When there isn’t enough of something, the value goes up.  When there is more demand, than supply, the cost of items goes up.  From my personal experience as an Investing Realtor, many of the purchasers that are coming to our area are leaving California, Washington State, and Oregon.

Their reasons for leaving are many.  Their reasons for purchasing in the Old Pueblo are diverse.  One unifying theme is common amongst them all.  Their desire for Arizona’s lighter tax burden, and ease of regulation.

This naturally makes Tucson and the surrounding area a natural choice for their businesses, and their employees.  The natural result, being an increase in sale price.

Where Is The Fastest Growth?

According to this article,  the areas of town that have experienced the fastest growth are the South Central, as well as the South Tucson and Airport areas of town.  This has been my experience as an investor, as well as a Realtor.  Homes in these areas have typically sold very quickly, and usually for cash.  Ask any investor, or Realtor, and they will agree that these areas represent some of the quicker areas of growth in the Metro Tucson Area.

From a Realtor perspective; these areas are very attractive to many consumers due to it’s relatively lower cost, and ease of transportation.  For those working in or around the Davis Monthan Air Force Base, Tucson International Airport, Raytheon, or any number of other companies, these areas are desired for their proximity.  As an Investor, fixup properties in these areas represent a good opportunity to rehabilitate a home if purchased at a fair price.
