Q1 2026 Tucson Metro Housing Trends

Tucson Metro Trends by Quarter

Hello everyone,

Here you will find clear, quarterly updates on the greater Tucson real estate market. These reports give you a high-level view of home prices, inventory levels, days on market, and overall market conditions across the Tucson Metro area.

My goal is simple: to help you understand what is happening in the market so you can make confident decisions whether you are buying, selling, or simply staying informed.

Market Report Summary for Q1 of 2026

Overall, the market remained stable and more balanced than we saw in prior years. Home prices held steady, inventory improved slightly, and buyer demand stayed consistent with the same period last year. This continues the healthier, more sustainable market conditions we have been experiencing.

Key Highlights

Median Sales Price: $365,000 (unchanged from Q1 2025)
Closed Sales: 3,533 (down slightly 1.9% year-over-year)
Active Inventory: 4,716 homes (up 3.1%)
Average Days on Market: 60 days
Months of Inventory: 3.4 months

The market is currently in a more balanced and healthy position. Buyers have more choices than they did a couple of years ago, while well-priced homes continue to sell. Communities such as Marana and Vail showed above-average demand during the quarter. The luxury segment (homes $1 million and above) also remained relatively strong.

What this Means for You

Sellers who price correctly and present their homes well are still achieving solid results. Buyers benefit from more inventory and greater ability to make thoughtful decisions. The market continues to follow normal seasonal patterns rather than the extreme conditions of a few years ago.

I will share a full Q2 2026 update once that data becomes available.

Fabulous! We highly recommend Alicia Girard at Long Realty in Oro Valley, Arizona. This is the second time Alicia fulfilled our needs in selling and finding our home. First time was a move for convenience, the second our home for retirement! Our home sold in 4 days… that says it all!!!

-Charlotte Ovitz, Client

I would highly recommend Alicia Girard to everyone. I have worked with other agents in the past, not one of them had the energy and quick response that Alicia has, she is amazing, energetic and very thorough. Alicia is a true asset of Long Realty. Thank you Alicia for everything you did for me. Bob Sabel, Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

-Robert Sabel, Client

Alicia was a great help in all the ups and downs of selling my house and buying a new one. She was very good at setting up inspections, doing follow-up and comps and making moving day happen. Highly recommend her.

-Carol Gloriosa, Client

"Above and Beyond” does not even begin to describe the service that I received from Alicia. She is the best realtor I have ever worked with. She is honest, caring and hard-working. I truly feel that she put my interests above her own. I cannot recommend her more highly.

-Thomas Massopust, Client

I had the pleasure of buying my little Tucson home with Alicia as my real estate agent. She always made me feel important to her and was never frustrated by my restrictions and needs. She also helped me through the loan process and was on call for my endless questions. She ALWAYS returned my phone calls and she has now become a wonderful new friend! I highly recommend her …
