Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026).

Inventory in Santa Cruz County has eased a bit, with active listings down nearly 5% from last month and more than 8% from a year ago. At the same time, months of supply sits at 7.2, well above Arizona’s 4.5 months, underscoring that buyers still have plenty of options in this buyer’s market.

Contract activity shows mixed but generally steady demand. Pending sales are up more than 5% month over month and over 8% year over year, yet the number of homes sold is flat compared with last month and slightly below last year, suggesting some deals are taking longer to close.

Pricing has been firming in response to these conditions, with the typical home value up almost 10% year over year and the median list price rising more than 11% over the same period. Homes are selling at about 97% of list price on average, and while only a small share close above asking, median days on market have dropped sharply from earlier in the year to about 80 days. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting trends can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who knows how to position them for success.

Santa Cruz County offers residents a welcoming blend of outdoor adventure, rich cultural heritage, and tight-knit communities, with easy access to parks, rivers, farms, and essential services that support a high quality of life.

Santa Cruz County stretches along the international border and features a mix of historic small towns, ranchland, and rugged mountain scenery. Most residents live in Nogales, with smaller communities like Rio Rico, Patagonia, and Tubac offering quieter settings within reach of daily conveniences.

Nogales serves as the commercial hub, with shopping, medical services, and the crossing into Sonora easily accessible. Families value local schools such as Nogales Unified School District, along with community resources like the Nogales-Rochlin Public Library.

“Tera is an exceptional realtor and a wonderful person to work with. We recently sold our equestrian property with her, and her deep understanding of the equine industry was invaluable. She knew exactly what was needed to attract the right buyers. Tera stayed in almost daily contact, guiding us through every showing, prospective buyer, and market shift. She does phenomenal work, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell any type of property.”

“My partner and I had an amazing experience working with Nicole as our realtor from start to finish. What we valued the was most her knowledge, professionalism, and (most importantly) her incredibly responsiveness throughout the entire process. No matter how many questions we had (because we did have a lot), she always took the time to explain everything clearly and made us feel supported every step of the way. During the process we faced multiple difficult and emotional challenges, but not Nicole. She was calm and grounded, and faced adversity head on, she remained calm and understanding of how we were feeling with the situation and already had a game plan to move forward!! So thank you SOO much Nicole! We love our new home and love that we got to work with you in the process. We loved her and will definitely be going to her for any future purchases!!”

“Rachel is an incredible person and realtor. She priced our home at the top of the market, which any realtor can do, but then Rachel developed a marketing strategy that afforded us a full price offer within 4 days. Rachel made the entire process was as simple as it could possibly be. Every issue and detail was handled quickly with professional expertise. Rachel also found my new home for me as well, again the transaction was flawless. I'll recommend Rachel to anyone I know who is selling or buying a home.”

“I hope all of Agent Pronto's realtors are half as good as Ken Boltz. He was my partner in finding and purchasing my home and a wonderful advocate on my behalf. In almost no time at all, he demonstrated how well he understood my needs and preferences in my next home, he referred me to an excellent loan originator and stayed on top of every aspect of the purchase through to completion. Buying a home is a stressful experience for almost everyone, but with Ken handling the purchase, I had minimal stress, if any. Easily the best home buying experience of my life.”

“Chaz and Kayla were referred to us by a friend and from the start they did a great job listening to our wants and setting out to find the right neighborhoods for us to start looking in for our new house. They were very patient with us until we found the place we liked and aggressively helped us to go after it and get it. On the selling side Kayla made great recommendations on getting our house ready to sell and Chaz helped us get the price right. We had multiple offers in the first week. When the buyers appraisal came back with major discrepancies and a low appraisal cost they immediately jumped into the appeal process and fought for us to get the right appraisal cost for our house. They were responsive and overall great to work with.”
