Steve,

Almost all the numbers are right out of the MLS monthly stats report. The only exceptions are where the numbers don’t add up because of the limiting of the areas or the date the data is pulled.

When it comes to area like active listings or new listings I go back to the previous years report and subtract out the numbers that are outside the Tucson area.

For closed sales I run a search in MLS

Residential
The Tucson Areas
$1000 or more price
from 10/01/07 to 10/31/07

I have this search saved so I can call it up and run it.

I change the dates to what month I’m looking for.

Dave,
Would you explain how you run your search??
I am unable to get either the numbers you mention nor the ones TAR puts in their report.

Hi Dave!

So when are the prices going to drop? Sales are still entirely too slow to call the market anything except; sick. Its the pricessssssssssss!

Have a nice weekend.

Oh, I should have included that almost 75% of all sales are entered in the last week of the month and the first week of the next month.

If you don’t have access to MLS you wouldn’t know that 213 by this time of the month is actually a good number. Last month it was less than 200.
