Tucson's Current Market Trend

Every month I provide insight on the direction of Tucson's real estate market. Many national news reports talk about a devastating bust in the housing market, yet they provide little factual data behind their claims. I believe in providing real market trend data to back up my housing claims.

The latest statistics for Tucson real estate shows a steadying of home prices. July 2005 has been determined to be the peak of the Tucson housing market, the past four years have allowed for a correction in prices. Sellers are now pricing their homes more reasonably. Buyers are coming back into the market. Prices and inventory are holding steady. The major holdback is the credit crisis. Lenders are less willing to provide loans and in Arizona, borrowers must put down at least 10%. The National Association of Realtors is expecting the market to pick up in the first half of next year.

 Real Estate Services

For years I have studied what real estate consumers expect from their real estate agents. I have also been a huge student of real estate marketing and have gathered the know-how of what works in the market. Many old school agents still believe in the traditional ways of marketing (ie. newspapers, postcards, print advertising, mailings, etc) to expose their listings to the public. While some agents may have some success in doing this, I have found that traditional marketing just isn't that effective. Why?

Because 87% of Tucson home buyers use the Internet to find a home.

Why would you want your house for sale in a magazine where people will not see it advertised? This is why I have become an Internet Marketing Professional. My advertising hits all the major search engines and is published on 15 different real estate listing searches.

In addition to my marketing prowess, I offer the following services:

 Past Real Estate Client Testimonials

Not only did Mr. Valfre help my wife and I find a beautiful new home in a great neighborhood, he was also able to sell our existing home in a very short amount of time in a very competitive market. James was able to advertise our home to a broad range of buyers resulting in a quick sale guaranteeing a smooth home buying experience.

Thank you for everything James!

Matt and Gina Axford

James is the best! That about sums it up. First day on the market and we got an offer. Second day we had three offers in this declining economy. We had three offers all bidding against each other. We finished with more money than we listed the home for. James was personable, always on hand, easy to get ahold of, respectful, polite, professional, a Real Estate Genius he is. We highly recommend James Valfre.

Issy & Bruce Bauer

My house had an offer 10 days after listing on the MLS. James' professional advice on pricing and staging in addition to his excellent photography skills paved the way for a quick offer at 97% of the list price. Furthermore, James took a personal stake insuring that the deal would close without a hitch. I highly recommend Valfre Realty and look forward to using James in the future.

Ted & Jamie Dibble

Sorry this took so long, but I think it speaks volumes. Having left behind a home to sell in Tucson, I was very concerned about my selection of a realtor to represent my best interests. I wanted someone who was flexible, knowledgeable, aggressive, and willing to go the extra mile. This person would also be asked to take on the responsibility of maintaining the home in my absence so that it was not overgrown, all the bulbs burnt out, etc. I interviewed four realtors and James stood out above the rest. I was not disappointed. From arranging a cleaning service after my final move out, to coordinating services as needed and working with my relocation company to close the deal quickly, James took care of it all. With James’ finger on the pulse of the market, his advice was welcome and resulted in a successful sale. As an out-of town seller I am grateful for his dedication, efforts, and compassion.

Thanks James! Lisa Totz
