These are the five highest-priced home sales reported in the Tucson metro area for the week ending October 18, 2026, and together they came to $8.1 million. Three of the homes are in Tucson, in the Catalina Foothills and Tanque Verde, and the other two are in Oro Valley and in Marana’s Dove Mountain.
Every one of the five is a single-story home, and all were built between 1995 and 2006. The styles range from contemporary and modern to Santa Fe, and the settings from a guard-gated foothills enclave to a golf course community.
