The second largest city in Arizona, Tucson offers residents big city amenities yet in a quieter setting than Phoenix. Homebuyers are also likely to find and afford more space in Tucson, where the median home value in November was approximately $328,000, according to Zillow. That’s up 1.9% from a year ago.
Tucson continues to attract residents working in aerospace and defense, photonics and optics, renewable energy and natural resources as well as research and manufacturing.
Redfin considers Tucson a slightly competitive housing market, as the median home price has experienced positive growth year over year every month since July 2023, though well below the double-digit growth seen through much of 2020 to 2022. Back then, homes were on the market for sometimes as little as four days, according to the Tucson Association of Realtors. Now homes now are on the market for a median of 20 days or more.
