Every complete calendar month in the window, with the number of residential sales that closed and the median sold price of those sales. A month with few sales has a median that moves with the mix of homes that happened to close, so read the count alongside the price.

What these numbers mean if you are buying or selling in Sabino Canyon
Sale-to-list: 98.3%
The median Sabino Canyon home closed at 98.3% of its final asking price. On a $500,000 listing that gap comes to about $8,700. For a seller it is the discount to expect once the price is right; a wider gap on your own home usually means the price is still being tested. For a buyer it is the reference point for an opening offer. It is measured against the final list price after any reductions, so it says nothing about how far a home was reduced before it sold.
Cash buyers: 41% of sales
41% of closed sales in Sabino Canyonwere cash purchases, by the financing recorded on each sale. A cash buyer closes without an appraisal or a loan contingency, so a financed buyer competing for the same home competes on certainty as much as on price: a full underwritten pre-approval, a shorter inspection period and a plan for an appraisal shortfall all count. For a seller, a higher cash share means more offers that do not depend on a lender's appraisal.
Seller concessions: 45% of sales
45% of Sabino Canyonsales recorded a seller concession, a credit from the seller at closing that usually goes toward the buyer's closing costs or an interest-rate buydown; where one was given, the median was $9,236. A concession lowers the seller's net the same way a price cut does, so sellers should read it together with the sale-to-list ratio above. Buyers can ask for one: fewer than half of the sellers here agreed to one, so it is a negotiation, not a given.
Contract to close: 31 days
The median Sabino Canyon sale went from an accepted contract to a closed deal in 31 days. Days on market on this page runs from the listing date to the closing date, so the median 54 days already includes that escrow period. Buyers should plan the move, the rate lock and the inspections around 31 days; sellers should expect the proceeds about that long after accepting an offer, not on the day they accept it.

Methodology
Source: MLS of Southern Arizona (MLSSAZ). Window: September 2, 2025 to September 2, 2026 (12months) by close date, residential property class only; land and multi-family sales are excluded. Every median is computed per sale: price per square foot is the median of each sale's own ratio, not the median price divided by the median size, and sale-to-list is the median of each sale's close price divided by its final list price. Cash share is the share of sales whose buyer financing was recorded as cash, among sales where financing was recorded. Days on market is the listing date to the closing date. Contract to close runs from the day the listing left active status, which is when an offer was accepted, to the closing date. An area is published only when it had at least 20 closed sales in the window; this one had 62. Monthly figures cover complete calendar months only. Medians describe the area as a whole and not any individual home. As of September 2, 2026.
