If you’ve been following the national news lately, you’ve probably seen the doom-and-gloom headlines about real estate. “The market is crashing.” “Nobody’s buying homes.” “It’s not a good time to sell.”

But here’s the truth: Headlines aren’t transactions — and real estate is happening every single day in Tucson.

Numbers Are Numbers

This past week alone, 243 homes went under contract in Southern Arizona.
That’s not speculation, that’s not a prediction — that’s a fact, pulled directly from our Multiple Listing Service (MLS).

Week after week, buyers are making moves and sellers are finding success. Are the conditions different than they were two years ago? Absolutely. But the reality is that homes are still being bought and sold in every price point, every neighborhood, every week.

Beyond the Numbers: Real People, Real Moves

The market isn’t just numbers on a chart. It’s families who need a bigger backyard.
It’s first-time buyers tired of renting.
It’s retirees downsizing into something easier to maintain.

Every transaction represents a real person making a real decision about their life — not just chasing a market trend.

Why Headlines Miss the Mark

National media loves big, sweeping statements. But Tucson isn’t New York, San Francisco, or Phoenix.
Our market has its own rhythms, its own needs, and its own community.

When the news paints everything in extremes, it creates fear instead of clarity. Fear keeps people frozen. Facts help people move forward with confidence.

What’s Right for You

Here’s what I tell my clients:

• If the numbers align with your goals, it’s the right time.
• If buying gives you stability, it’s the right time.
• If selling gets you closer to your next chapter, it’s the right time.

It’s not about chasing the perfect market. It’s about finding what’s right for you and your family — and that looks different for everyone.

Let’s Talk About Your Numbers

As a Tucson Realtor with over a decade of experience, I focus on relationships over transactions. My job isn’t to push you into a decision — it’s to help you understand the facts so you can make the right move for you.

So the next time a headline makes you wonder if now is the “right time,” remember:

• Real estate is still moving.
• People are buying and selling every day.
• Your decision should be based on your goals — not someone else’s headline.
