Foreclosure notices at 3 year low in Pima County!

Foreclosure notices in Pima County has hit an almost 3 year low!

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!

Months of Inventory: Foothills, Oro Valley & Marana

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.
