The Holidays in Tucson, My First Time Homebuyer Class, and More
You may have noticed that this monthly newsletter is no longer monthly!
Because Iām posting on social media and my website so often, Iāve decided to convert this monthly newsletter into a quarterly one. If youāre looking for Tucson community and real estate content more often, you can find me on Instagram and LinkedIn, as well as my blog where I post bi-weekly.
Finally our cooler season is here! As Iām writing this itās 56° outside and Iām sipping on a hot matcha in a sweatsuit with a heater pointed right at me. Is it me, or did it the weather basically drop 20° in a week or two? Either way, Iām exceptionally grateful to enjoy this time of year and soak it in while we have it.
Cooler weather naturally signals many wonderful outdoor events to enjoy across town this season, including the 3rd Vegan Night Market 12/2, Holiday Nights at Tohono Chul (see link for schedule), the Tucson Holiday Ice outdoor rink open now until 1/7, and Fourth Avenueās 54th annual winter street fair 12/8 - 10.

I also have an event coming up soon! Join me and Artie Bigelow from Guild Mortgage on Thursday, 11/30 at 6 PM at Borderlands Brewing in downtown Tucson to learn about the home buying process and enjoy a local craft beer on me. This is going to be a very low-key and fun event thatās intended to make purchasing a home a little less intimidating, while educating future buyers on what the process looks like. Space is limited, so please email me at [email protected] if youād like to attend. If you know someone who might benefit from this event, spread the word.
Recent Market Stats
While there was more inventory this October than last, median and average sales prices continue to rise in Tucson šš
Every November/December the market slows simply because people donāt want to move during the holidays. Importantly, this means less competition for buyers and often more flexibility when it comes to offer price. So if you are in the position to buy right now, the holidays might be the perfect time.
