A Mediterranean-style house set on a hilltop in Tucson’s Sabino Vista Hills sold for $1.95 million, the highest-priced home sale publicly reported in the Tucson, Arizona metro area for the week ending August 9, 2026. The five leading closings reported across the metro that week combined for $8.69 million in Tucson-area real estate.
The sales were recorded in Tucson and Oro Valley, and their build years run from 1982 to 2002: a Southwestern residence in the central Catalina Foothills, a guard-gated house at the end of a cul-de-sac, a contemporary home behind gates with city views, and a custom single-level residence backing onto Honey Bee Canyon. Russell P Long and Julie M Nielson of Long Realty were the listing agents on both the No. 2 and the No. 5 closings.
