RELOCATION
Moving from California to Tucson
You'll get more house for your money. Here's what else changes.
A lot of my relocation buyers come from California. Most of them are surprised by how much home their budget buys here. The trade-offs are real, too.
What changes
Housing
More square footage, bigger lots, and lower prices than most of California. Ask me what your budget buys in each area.
Property taxes and insurance
They work differently in Arizona. Talk with a local tax professional and an insurance agent about the numbers for your situation.
Summer
It's a dry heat, and it's hot. June through September, plan your days around it. Your cooling bill is part of the cost of the house.
Pace
Tucson is a big city that feels like a smaller town. Less traffic, more sky.
