After several months of slower activity, September brought a noticeable shift in the Tucson land market. While overall year-to-date closings remain below 2024 levels, both closings and new contracts increased compared to this time last year, signaling renewed buyer confidence heading into fall. Lower inventory and an uptick in pricing suggest that well-positioned parcels are gaining traction, particularly as buyers refocus on quality and long-term potential.
Market Highlights
- Active Inventory: 677 listings, down 9% from September 2024.
- Closings: 48 properties sold, a 14% increase year-over-year.
- Year-to-Date Closings: 446, reflecting a 14% drop from this time last year.
- Months of Inventory: 14.1, down from 17.8 one year ago.
- Median Sold Price: $124,052, up 9% from September 2024.
- New Contracts: 63, representing a 37% increase from September 2024.
What It Means
The combination of lower inventory, rising prices, and increased contract activity suggests that buyer interest is returning, but with clear preferences. Build-ready lots with infrastructure access, strong views, and proximity to amenities are leading the way. Even as overall demand remains cautious, sellers who price appropriately, especially under the $150,000 mark, are seeing results.
The market appears to be balancing after several months of cooling, with more engaged buyers and fewer options to choose from. This sets the stage for a potentially stronger Q4.
