Tucson Housing Market Insight
I am often asked if this a good time to buy or sell?
After reviewing the Tucson Housing Report for February 2025, it’s clear that despite listing inventory being higher than in February 2024, key market indicators—including median list and sale prices, the sale-to-list price ratio, sales volume, average days on market, and year-to-date home sales—remain nearly unchanged from the previous year.
We have not yet to transition into a true buyer’s market. Instead, the market appears balanced, with well-priced homes selling quickly, while those that are overpriced often see price reductions. Notably, the $1,000,000+ segment is outperforming the broader market, as luxury buyers are increasingly drawn to Tucson’s homes and competitive pricing compared to other resort-style communities. Tucson has been discovered due to our beautiful weather and home prices still lower than highly desirable destination resort style locations.

February Sales - 1056 up 5% from the previous year

| | Quick Tips: To get your home ready for sale on the exterior | | First impressions matter, and when it comes to selling your home, curb appeal can make all the difference. A well-maintained and inviting exterior can attract buyers, boost your home’s perceived value, and even lead to better offers. Here are budget-friendly ways to enhance your home’s curb appeal.
Front door and entry
Your front door is one of the first things buyers notice. A fresh coat of paint or stain, upgraded hardware, new welcome mat can make the home more appealing right off the bat.
Exterior Pop of Color
Healthy, vibrant landscaping gives your home a clean and well-cared-for appearance. Trim shrubs, plant fresh flowers, rake gravel and remove weeds to create a neat, inviting yard. Even potted plants near the entryway can add charm.
Clean and Tidy
Power wash driveways, walkways, and siding to remove dirt and grime. Clean windows to enhance your home’s overall brightness and curb appeal.
Don’t Forget: Organize outdoor spaces and remove clutter like lawn equipment and kids’ toys.
Small Touches, Big Impact
Small upgrades can create a lasting impression. Update your mailbox, repaint exterior walls, create inviting seating areas and add some carefully placed decor.
Why Curb Appeal Matters
According to studies, poor landscaping can decrease property values by up to 30%. In contrast, well-maintained yards and outdoor spaces make a home more attractive to buyers and can lead to faster sales. A neat, well-landscaped home signals to potential buyers that the property has been well cared for, making them more likely to submit strong offers.
