As the rest of the country slows down during the fall and winter months, our market here is Tucson starts to get busy. We see a flurry of activity during this time as winter visitors flood the area to escape the cold. With October underway, the season for who we affectionately call "snowbirds" has just begun.

We are starting to see an increase in traffic in listings and open houses because of the recent activity. Because inventory is just under 6,000 homes and we sold about 1,200 last month, we are at around 5 months of inventory. It's a balanced market that slightly favors sellers, as 6 months is generally considered a perfectly balanced market.

Now is a great time to list your home if you are thinking about selling. There will be a ton of buyer activity up until the holidays, where you'll see fewer, but more serious buyers. We recommend taking advantage of this highly active market!

If you have any questions about conditions in your specific area, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to give you a hand!

What our happy Tucson clients have to say

testimonials from happy clients

Sherwood Hamil - "Very positive. We closed on a property and followed through on everything they said they were going to do. Overall it was a very good experience! I would say they went above and beyond regarding inspections. We were unable to be there, so they took care of everything in our absence and did a great job."

James Seifert - "I was very happy with it, good time frame and good price. The materials and strategy they used were excellent. Good photographs, along with nice brochures they placed in front of the house in addition to the basic open house materials. They were excellent to work with and I would recommend them wholeheartedly."

Nancy Campbell - "We bought a house that we love! Don was available whenever we needed to look at houses because we were in and out of town quite a bit, often times very spontaneously. He was very enjoyable to work with, willing, able, I can't say enough good things about him. On a scale of 1-10, he was a 12 or 15! I would refer him to anyone in a moment and you can tell he just truly loves his work! We very much enjoyed working with him and hope to continue calling him a friend."

Gladys Carroll - "We sold our house. The process went very well, it was very quick, and it turned out great. We listed it on one day, and then the next day we had someone view it and they bought it! It went very fast. Don and his team gave us some tips, they put the house up for viewing and they did a wonderful job with that. All the advice and information was fantastic!"

Bob & Judy - "What really impressed us more than anything was whenever we had any questions he answered us immediately! He either picked up or called us right back. It was super! We were never left hanging. When you’re dealing with moving a large percentage of your assets around, there’s a lot of concern on your part. He had quick answers and he never dodged a question. I’d give him a triple-A +++ rating -- he was wonderful to deal with!"

Kim - "We purchased a home in Marana in October and Don was excellent to work with. I moved from New Jersey to Arizona with my husband for work-related purposes and by chance I found Don from an Internet search. He was great from the start and really took a lot of time showing us a lot of homes. The whole process was really stressful and what I liked about Don was that he always got back to me if I texted him, emailed him, or called him -- he was always really quick to get back to me. He really made the whole transition easier and I don’t know what we would’ve done without him!"

Cathy - "I was absolutely thrilled! When I first contacted Don, he went after hours and met me -- not even at his office -- at a halfway point, that was more convenient for me. When we agreed on a purchase price, because it was a short sale, he worked overtime and ended up saving us $10,000 because the appraisal came in lower than our agreed price. So he was able to convince them to give us $10,000 off! Those were two things that were exceptional!"

Rob Spath - "We both sold our houses and found a house to buy. Everything went quick and orderly and they were nice and flexible to meet our needs. There was a situation where we worked with some of the closing cost options and they were flexible to make it all work out for us. I enjoyed working with the team!"

Liz - "We got good results! We were able to find the home that we were looking for. I would say our results were excellent. We were under contract with one home and then we had to quickly change directions and look at other homes. He was always available and very helpful. We were coming from out of town so he was able to show us homes in areas that I wasn’t very familiar with and that ended up being very helpful in our home search."

Kaitlyn - "It was really nice working with the Vallee Gold team because they weren’t pushy at all. We were first time home buyers and they were really good about working with us and making sure that we were comfortable and had the house we wanted. It was perfect! Don even went out of his way on a Sunday and came to show my dad some of the houses we were considering while he was in town. He answered all of our questions and really showed that he cared about us."

Bill - "We’ve done a number to transactions with Don Vallee and the Vallee Gold team over a number of years and have always had good results. They’re very knowledgeable about what they’re doing and are extremely hard workers, which is something that I value a lot. We’ve done real well and have a really good relationship. "

Bob - "When we were searching for a home with Don, we still were trying to figure out whether we wanted to live in Portland or in the Tucson area. After a while we decided to live in Tucson but we were still living in Portland so when we were doing some remodeling on the home we relied on Don to take measurements and other things of that nature. He was very willing to step up and provide very accurate information for us. The whole relationship was cooperative, collegial and it was one of the easiest home buys that we’ve encountered!"

"Don sold my home on Tucson. Home had been on market for many months before I hired him. Original realtors were not successful in generating any traffic. Once I listed the home with Don the home sold in 20 days. Customer service was excellent. Great follow through. Great team he has developed. Would not hesitate to use his services again."

Over the years I have worked with many Realtors. Don Vallee is undoubtedly the best so far. I hope to have the pleasure of working with him on other transactions in the future as he is a man that takes a problem and just solves it. No problem seems too big for Don and his good nature is a big part of that."

"Don did a great job for us! Selling one's home is a hard thing to do. Don was very knowledgeable and patient in helping us make the decision. Once we decided to sell, Don and his team dove right in, and got us listed and on the market. Most importantly, he got quick results. Good job Don!"
