For April there were 973 officially reported home sales by the Tucson Association of Realtors Multiple Listing Service (TAR/MLS), which was 41 more than predicted. Checking weeks later, the actual number of sales for April were 1,008. The adjusted amount reflects that sales were better than what was officially reported in April by TAR/MLS.

As of this writing there are 1,761 homes with offers on them waiting to close the sale. Some will close as scheduled, some after, some will DFT (Deal Fell Through). Some will be part of the May statistics. In any case there are 1,761 buyers who are willing to buy a home in addition to the 4,309 who have already  purchased their Tucson home since January. This does not take into consideration Short Sales and bank owned properties that have not finalized the acceptance of an offer. I personally know of one, which would make it 1,762 buyers who recognize now is a good time to buy a home.

Will we exceed the predicted sales of 1,035 for May? We will know in a matter of days. The good thing is sales are continually increasing, which is good news for Tucson real estate. Bad news for those who wait for woulda, shoulda, coulda.
