A new real estate report from Homes.org highlights the latest trends and activity in the Tucson real estate market during May 2012. Both month-over-month and year-over-year the most recent Tucson sales figures are indicative of a market that is well on its way to recovery.

Below are some key findings for the Tucson area:

•     Total closed sales in May 2012 were 1,318, 5.69% higher than May 2011
•     The Average List Price in May 2012 was $180,905, down 2.47% in May 2011
•     The number of Active Listings in May 2012 was 3,544, down from 5,795 in May 2011
•     May 2012 homes under contract were at 2,864 in the Tucson area, up from 2,239 in May 2011

•     Average Sales Price in the Tucson area was 173,987 up from $168,453 in May 2011

The Tucson real estate market is becoming a much more balanced market compared to the same time last year. Total sales and inventory levels in the Tucson area indicate that buyers have become more active. The average sales price was down 1.01% from April to May, however, during that same time period the average listing price also decreased by 1.5%.

Even though a few figures are down, experts are optimistic. Chief economist for the Fiserv Case-Shiller Indexes David Stiff said “nearly all non-price metrics - existing home sales, rising home order volumes, increased spending on home improvement, a jump in multifamily construction - indicate that the housing sector hit bottom last year and has started along a path of slow recovery.”
