Tucson Real Estate Made Interesting in 2008
Everyone and every paper is doing their 2008 in review this week. I’m not big on that stuff, might do one yet, but that’s not what this post is about, at least not from my perspective. I’m reading most of these look backs at the train wrecks of 2008 in retrospective.

Bonnie Henry Prediction for 2009
● In an effort to reduce their inventory of foreclosed homes, banks in Tucson offer a free bank-owned home with every new $1,000 savings account opened. (Toasters sold separately.)
There were others but this was one of my favorites.
Now if Banks would put this sign in their window: Free Bank Owned Home [...]
Tucson Real Estate Absorption Rates November 2008
More absorbent than a rubber duck. Able to hold more water than a grain of sand. Got the idea?

Pigmy Owl Home for Christmas
It has been a difficult week to focus on Tucson Real Estate. I’ve been trying for two days (a week) to get the Tucson MLS Statistics report of November posted here. It will wait a couple more days.

The Hole in the Bottom of the Boat
Yesterday’s post Free Lunch Loans and The Economy of Greed ended on a rather gruesome mental picture of the body expelling waste. Didn’t mean to leave it there and didn’t realize the impact of that mental image till I was rereading it in preparation for this post continuing the last point on the hole in the bottom of the boat. My apologies for anyone with a cold.
Using The Web to Market Tucson Real Estate
Surfing the Web has gone from a past time to a part of our daily lives. Finding knowledge and information quickly has been expedited by the Web. I don’t use a phone book anymore. I do still read a newspaper because it is the Fred Flintstone in me that likes that cultural throwback to my mentors reading the newspaper.

Tucson Real Estate 2005 The Frantic Market
In Tucson in 2005 we saw real estate transactions being done so fast you would have thought the Tucson real estate market had gone to the day traders.
Prices were going up so fast no one could keep track and I remember some buyers having to offer $5,000 over asking price just to get their offer [...]
Tucson Real Estate Affordability
Affordability is the key to the turn around in the Tucson Housing Market. It is the key to turning around the real estate markets in the entire country. Property values shot up to high and very fast. For the past 4 years affordability had little to do with buying or selling a house in Tucson. Here in Tucson in 2005 we saw real estate transactions being done so fast you would have thought the Tucson real estate market had gone to the day traders.
Tucson Real Estate Find Me A DEAL

We are looking at two ways to get these properties to [...]
