Tucson definitely is selling a lot more homes priced over 1 million than it did last year. The buyers are getting fabulous bargins compared to the prices of high-end homes in Tucson in the past five years. Where else in the United States can one find such rare beauty, pristine air quality, with lack of congestion, yet with so many luxury amenities closeby?
