What did Catalina Foothills homes sell for in 2026?

A Russ Lyon Sotheby's market update reported a Q3 2026 median sale price near $729,000 for Catalina Foothills, with about 58 average days on market. An MLS of Southern Arizona based report for the twelve months through September 2026 showed a median near $660,000, a median sale to list ratio near 97.9 percent, and about a third of sales paid in cash.

Why is the Foothills price spread so wide?

Views, lot size, architecture, age, and updates vary more here than almost anywhere in Tucson. A remodeled home with city light views and a dated home on a similar lot can sell hundreds of thousands apart. That is why comparable sales have to be chosen carefully, not pulled by radius.

What do Foothills buyers compare before they offer?

View corridor and privacy, condition of roof, windows and mechanical systems, kitchen and primary suite updates, HOA rules if any, and how the home shows against the two or three listings they toured that week. Many buyers are relocating or seasonal, so photography and documentation carry more weight. Our Catalina Foothills area guide covers the area itself.

How should I price a Foothills home?

From the closest true comparables, adjusted for view, lot and condition, then tested against current competition. A price that is not supported by comparables can stretch market time. Our guide to selling a higher end Tucson home covers timing and prep.
