The five highest-priced home sales reported in the Tucson metro area for the week ending October 11, 2026, came to a combined $6.12 million. Two of the homes are in the Catalina Foothills in Tucson, two are in Oro Valley and one is in Vail, all of them in Pima County.
Four of the five are single-story homes. The group runs from desert contemporaries with panoramic views and a remodeled home in a community of custom homes to a Southwest-style home with beamed ceilings and a ranch property with acreage of its own.
No. 1 — $1,438,310 · 3211 E Blossom Dancer Ln, Tucson, Arizona
The week’s highest-priced sale was a Contemporary home on a hillside lot in the Catalina Foothills, with panoramic views of the mountains and the city and of both the sunrise and the sunset. It sold for $1,438,310. Built in 1988, the single-story home has five bedrooms and four bathrooms, three full and one half, in 4,652 square feet, the most living area of any home in this group, on 0.91 acres. The property last sold for $125,550 in 1987, before the current home was built.
A butcher block island anchors the kitchen, which has double ovens, a built-in cooktop and stainless steel appliances and opens to a breakfast nook and the family room. There is also a formal dining area. The family room and the primary bedroom each have a gas fireplace, and the primary suite adds a sitting area and a spa-style bath. Large windows bring in the views, and sliding doors lead out to a covered patio that looks toward the city and the mountains. The solar panels are owned outright, and the oversized three-car garage is fitted with cabinets.
