Northwest New Housing Picks up in Early 2010

The following is an excerpt of an article published in The Explorer on May 5, 2010 by Alan M. Petrillo.

Spring brought a dazzling crop of wildflowers to southern Arizona, and it’s fostered the growth of something else — a spurt in the building of new homes throughout Northwest Tucson.

John Strobeck of Bright Futures Business Consultants in Tucson said that for years, the Northwest led the Tucson region in new home building volume, but it fell to second place with the extended southern region of Tucson taking over the lead.

“But for new home sales by area, for the last 12 months, the Northwest has had 21 percent of all new home sales,” Strobeck said, “eclipsed only by the extended South at 33 percent. Twenty-one percent is a good percentage in these times and I expect the Northwest to continue to be strong.”
