A lot of folks are asking the same question: Is there life in Tucson real estate after the expiration of the first time home buyer tax credit? The answer is a resounding, yes!

It’s spring here in the Old Pueblo, although temperatures are bound to creep up to the mid-90’s by early next week. In other words, it’s starting to feel more like summer here in Tucson. Tucson always has a big influx of buyers relocating from all over the nation. Many buyers prefer to buy in the summer when the kids are out of school, and there isn’t as much competition among buyers. Saving $8,000 on a house is significant. Obviously, the federal tax credit spurred home buying activity in our market and the national market in a big way- to the tune of about 10% increase in home sales activity.

Having a good Realtor on your team who can negotiate the best possible deal for you on a house is priceless, and there are many ways a Realtor can help you save more than $8,000. Don’t buy a home without a Realtor on your team, and if you are ready to buy- this is a great time to plant your roots in sunny Tucson!
