SELLING A HOME in Oro Valley - Average time to sell a home

SELLING A HOME in Oro Valley
HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE?

68 days

At least that’s the average time on the market according to Zillow. This time span is from listing to close. Generally, expect a home to be on the market at least 30 days before accepting an offer (adding the additional time for offers, inspections, financing, closing, etc.).

This is far better than 2010 when the average DOM (days on market) time was 140 days!

3 Bedroom=Faster Sales

This is the national average:

• A 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom house with 1,800 square feet selling ask of $200,000 is the typical home sold.
• Single family homes make up to 80% of homes on the market
• The remaining 20 percent are townhouses (7 percent), mobile homes (7 percent), condos or co-ops (5 percent), and duplexes or triplexes (2 percent).

Avoid these mistakes to help your home sell faster

Some homes sell quickly and some linger on the market for months…or even years. Why? For every house that sells in 68 days, there are some that sell much faster and some that sell much slower. Follow the tried-and-true advice to help your home sell faster.

• Too many days on the market: OLD=TIRED or SOMETHING WRONG If a house lingers for too long, or goes pending and then back on the market, there is usually a reason: Price, difficult sellers, odd situations or problems with the home. Buyers are savvy and will notice if your homes sits too long so be real about pricing, make you home a showplace from the very first day and make sure all problems are dealt with before you list it.

• High priced: This is the number one issue to selling a home. Sellers tend to want to ask a certain price “to see if they can get it” and then want to lower it if they don’t. Unfortunately, this adds to time on the market (see #1). Be realistic about what the market is for homes like yours. Don’t think yours is better or worse…stay in the average pricing for the most offers right off the bat.
  
  
  
• Location not so great?: Noise from a road? Less-than-clean neighbors? Buyers will notice so if you want to sell, you’ll have to make some concessions…usually in the price. Make sure your home is priced accordingly.
  
  
  
• Poor condition of the home: If a new roof, new heater and new landscaping all required…beware that buyers will certainly want to knock off money in order to pay for these updates themselves. Some buyers won’t even bother; they will by-pass your home as uncared for or too much work. If you’ve deferred maintenance (especially on big ticket items), be prepared to price lower than your average homes in the area.
  
  
  
• No curb appeal: Next time you are out, drive home and instead of driving right up to your door, just drive by slowly and really assess how buyers might see your home. A bunch of bikes/toys/kid stuff outside? That makes it look cluttered. No bright flowers/plants or dead one? Not a good sign. A walk that needs a good sweep or cobwebs that need removing. Get on it and clear out all exterior clutter before your showings.
  
  
  
• Off-season: In the vast majority of the country, late spring is the top time to list, because the most buyers are looking. However, here in Tucson and Oro Valley, early fall, winter and early spring are best. We get the most visitors when the other parts of the country are iced over…so take advantage of these seasons for listing and the most potential buyers.

Arizona’s 20 Safest Cities of 2018

Arizona’s 20 Safest Cities of 2018

 

State to state crime rates vary. Even region to region rates differ. Based on the most recent FBI crime report, the Western region of the US had a higher violent crime rate than many other areas of the country, including the Northeast, Midwest, and Middle Atlantic.

With that in mind, we were impressed to find the violent crime rate in Arizona (considered a Western state for FBI reporting purposes) was less than the national rate.

The twenty safest cities in Arizona cited just 1.7 violent crimes per 1,000 people—that’s approximately 63% less than the national rate of 4.64.

From big cities such as Chandler and Scottsdale to smaller ones like Nogales and Sahuarita, the Grand Canyon State offers many safe places.

Whether you live in Arizona or you’re thinking of moving there, you’ll have several cities to choose from…including ORO VALLY, which was chosen #2!

LIST: 20 Safest Cities in Arizona

1. Buckeye

Population: 64,563
Violent crimes per 1,000: 0.54
Property crimes per 1,000: 15.88
Total crime: 3.40% violent, 96.60% property

2. Oro Valley

Population: 44,089
Violent crimes per 1,000: 0.66
Property crimes per 1,000: 14.81
Total crime: 4.46% violent, 95.54% property

Moving in Tucson, Oro Valley, AZ - New Business Makes it Easier to Move

Moving to Tucson or Oro Valley?

Most movers are packing the “old standby” cardboard boxes to move and haul items to the sunny Southwest.

But this, as with many things, is changing and a new business to Tucson is hoping to discourage using cardboard boxes by using a new reusable option instead.

A new business in Tucson can help those moving around the city by offering reusable moving boxes. This business is now open in Tucson.

BungoBox Arizona delivers and picks up plastic reusable boxes for packing and moving to both residential and commercial customers.

No more trolling the back of stores to find boxes or buying boxes at the hardware store (pricey!!) or borrowing boxes from friends.

Use and return. How ingenious is that?

Founded in Florida, the dealership agreement is similar to a franchise but more flexible in letting the owners tailor the business to the local market.

The new Tucson location is1,400 square feet of space at 3893 N. Oracle Road.

The mostly warehouse space will be used to store the boxes and sanitize them after use.

The boxes come in various sizes, including some on wheels, and can be rented by the week. Costs range from $56 a week for boxes and labels to pack a space up to 500 square feet to $168.50 for enough boxes to pack a space of up to 2,000 square feet.

While this isn’t a brand new trend, as there are reusable boxes on amazon and other online retailers, what makes this special is that you can use the boxes and return them. No more storing numerous boxes in your garage or trying to break them down to store them—a rough job!

A few things to know about this reusable box company:

Are boxes cleaned between uses? According to their website:

Yes! Between each rental the boxes are cleaned in a two-step process. First, we remove any loose debris by blowing the boxes out with high pressure compressed air. Next, the boxes are thoroughly hand cleaned and sanitized after each use using eco-friendly biodegradeable cleaners.

Does BungoBox service long distance or out of area moves?

Currently we only provide FREE delivery to the Tucson and Oro Valley areas. We can deliver to Sahuarita/Green Valley, Vail, Three Points, and other areas in Arizona for a custom delivery charge. Please contact us at 520.441.4020 for a quote.

How do I pay?

We accept Visa, Master Card, American Express, Discover and PayPal. Full payment is required prior to delivery of your BungoBoxes.

How much does it cost?

A 3-bedroom house supply of reusable boxes starts at $154; a 2-bedroom apartment set starts at$116.00. You can rent them for multiple weeks.

Those who are moving around Tucson, Oro Valley, Marana, Green Valley.

A few advantages:

These boxes are stackable and won’t crush like traditional cardboard boxes.

The are convenient to use. The company is deliver and pick them up when you are done with them.

They are sustainable. No more waste with cardboard that breaks down and are only good for a few uses.

More protective of contents. It goes without saying that a hard-side plastic box will protect your fine china better than cardboard!
