March - April is primo-prime time for Catalina Foothills home sales.  And with more homes for sale, and more homes sitting on the market longer and no more bidding wars, home prices are almost always negotiable. It is finally a normal Foothills market — albeit one operating within the limited boundaries of an area that is both very popular and is essentially built-out.

                                                      The Price Gap is Shrinking

From Jan - late March there was nearly a $250,000 price gap between the Median List Price of homes for sale and the Median Sold Price of homes sold.  That gap is now down to $148,500, a 15% gap between current list and sold prices.

+ The Changing Face of the Catalina Foothills Market

With just 6.4% market share in 2016, a million-dollar sale was a rare event. In 2025 it was 35% of Market Share and growing. As such $1M+ sales are fast becoming the Foothills standard and a first-hand demonstration of supply and demand.

The Catalina Foothills is by far the most sought-after area in the Tucson Metro — everyone wants to be here — but with the land essentially built-out, the Foothills remains a well-established and highly desirable area that continues to support premium home price appreciation.

 +  The Latest Sold:  Jan 1 - Mar 31

• 2025:  143 homes Sold | $867,000 MSP | 17 MDOM

• 2026:  158 homes Sold | $834,750 MSP | 32 MDOM

So, what’s the verdict? Sales are up, prices are down, and homes are taking twice as long to sell. It’s a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde market, but with sales up 10% over last year, it is clear that the Foothills has not lost its charm.

My suggestion, be extra fussy about the things that can't be changed - like the location and the lot -  everything else can be improved, fixed, renovated, updated. A well-located lot and good views are key factors to consider when shopping for a Foothills home.                                                                           They can make or break a deal and often do.

+ The Market Snapshot breaks down the Catalina Foothills Single Family Home market into 5 price ranges - showing the # of homes For Sale, In Contract, and Sold (last 30 days), along with the resulting Months of Inventory. (MOI) is a key metric for gauging market balance.
5 – 6 MOI = Balanced Mkt // < 5 MOI = leans to Seller’s Mkt // > 6 MOI = leans to Buyer’s Mkt

As of Apr 16, 2026
In January I noted that the Foothills Mkt Snapshot was showing signs of shifting from a strong Seller’s Market to what looked like a Buyer's Market in the making. I suggested the following weeks or months would clarify whether it was a long-term trend or a temporary holiday backlog. 

Case closed, it is crystal clear that the backlog was a short term event and the Foothills Market is still largely a sellers market - with only $2,000,000 & UP edging into balanced market territory.
