Earlier this year, the median new-home price topped $300,000 for the first time in the Tucson market.

A lack of inventory has created a seller’s market, with multiple offers coming in for a single home, local real estate officials say.

How much house can one buy with a $300,000 budget?

Options vary from a 3,400-square-foot home to a 1,600-square-foot condo, depending on the neighborhood.
