Tucson, AZ 85711 Real Estate Market Report
ZIP Code: 85711
Report Date: February 2026
Market Temperature: NEUTRAL
Scope: Single-Family Residential (SFR) listings and comps only
Executive Overview
As of February 2026, the Tucson housing market, specifically in the 85711 ZIP code, is characterized by a median sold price of $299,000, reflecting a cooling trend with home prices having decreased year-over-year. This decline suggests a shift in market dynamics, as the area adjusts to elevated inventory levels and longer selling times, with homes averaging 184 days on market. Despite these challenges, forecasts indicate potential for modest appreciation moving forward, driven by stable economic fundamentals in sectors such as education and healthcare.
The current market conditions reveal a median listing price of $322,450, which indicates a notable gap between seller expectations and actual transaction values. The presence of elevated inventory relative to sales activity may suggest a more balanced market environment, although transaction volume remains moderate. With median market rent at $1,670, the rental market also reflects a downward trend, further complicating the overall housing landscape in the region.
