Foreclosure notices at 3 year low in Pima County!

Posted on July 7, 2011 by Lisa Bayless

Foreclosure notices in Pima County has hit an almost 3 year low! For the 1st time since Nov. 2008, less than 700 property owners (693 in total) in Pima County received notice that their loans were in default. To put this in perspective, in 2006, when the market peaked, an average of 240 foreclosure notices were issued monthly. June 2011, was also the 5th straight month the number of notices declined, relative to last year!

Lenders begin the foreclosure process by giving property owners “notice” that their loan is in default. Receiving notice does not necessarily mean a property will ultimately end up in foreclosure.

This is very good news for the Tucson area real-estate market, since the market will not recover until the current and future inventory of foreclosure properties drops considerably.

This home was first listed for $1,595,000 on 8/08. Its been on and off the market ever since and just sold for $1,099,000. That’s almost 33% below its original list price!!!

Months of Inventory: Foothills, Oro Valley & Marana

Posted on June 28, 2011 by Lisa Bayless

Months of Inventory (MOI) reflects the time period required to sell all the properties on the market given the number of closed transactions in the preceding month, provided no new product becomes available. This is an excellent benchmark to show the velocity of transactions in relation to the market inventories. This measurement is a broad one and will vary (in some cases dramatically) by price range, location and type of property.
