So the Stock Market Goes, So Goes the Tucson Luxury Homes Market

As the Dow is hovering near 10,000, I expect more buyers will be inclined to make luxury home purchases again. I have noticed as signs signal that the recession is nearing an end, more luxury homes are going under contract. However, this does not mean that those who are listing their homes are going to get an appreciation bump. The good news for Sellers is that if their listed home is staged well and is priced aggressively, it won’t take as long to sell as it has in the past. I have noticed that some new listings are priced at or near where they would have been at the peak of the market. Unfortunately that the house may sell at 2006  or 2007 prices is wishful thinking. If you want to get these prices, you need to wait a few years. It is unlikely we will see much appreciation until at least 2011.

Seven Homes Over a Million are Either Under Contract or were Sold in September

Only half of September is over and there are seven homes priced over a million that have come under contract or closed escrow in September.

What is even more astonishing to me is that three of the sales come from Oro Valley that has had a more difficult time in maintaining many high-end sales than the heart of the Foothills zip codes of 85750 and 85718.

 So the million plus buyers are out there hunting for great bargains on homes that would have cost a lot more in the past. Typically September is slow, but this year is likely to prove unusual with all but the first quarter seeing a recovery in the number of sales.
