First 48 Offers buys houses for cash in Tucson, Pima County. Send us the address and you will have a written offer within 48 hours, with no obligation to take it and nothing to pay us at any stage.

Tucson moves differently from the Valley. Midtown adobe and burnt-brick homes need specialist work most retail buyers will not take on, and lender appraisals frequently kill those deals. We pay cash, so that problem disappears.

What drives value in Tucson

Tucson pricing tracks the university, the Davis-Monthan area and the Foothills almost independently of each other. Adobe and burnt-brick homes midtown need specialist repair, and appraisers routinely struggle to comp them.

What we buy here

  • Houses needing major repair — roof, foundation, plumbing, fire or water damage
  • Inherited property, including estates still working through probate
  • Homes with liens, back taxes or missed mortgage payments
  • Rentals with tenants still in place, paying or not
  • Vacant property that is costing you every month it sits
  • Houses that are perfectly fine, where you simply want a certain date

Back taxes and liens in Pima County

If unpaid property tax is part of why you are selling, it is worth understanding the clock. In Arizona the County Assessor sets a Full Cash Value for each parcel annually, and the County Treasurer bills it in two installments. When taxes go unpaid, the Pima County Treasurer can sell a tax lien against the property at auction, and those auctions are held in February each year.

A lien does not stop us buying. Back taxes are settled out of the proceeds at closing, through escrow, the same as a mortgage payoff. You do not need to clear them first — in fact you should not try to.

How it works in Tucson

You send the Tucson address. Within about 24 hours we come and walk the property with you — roughly twenty minutes, nothing cleaned or repaired first. By hour 48 you have a written offer showing what we would pay and which costs we cover.

If you accept, escrow can close in as little as seven days, or on a later date if you need time to move. We buy with our own cash, so there is no lender to fall through. Read the full process.

Tucson questions

Do you buy near the University of Arizona?

Yes. A lot of that stock has been student rental for decades and shows it. We buy tenant-occupied and we do not ask you to renovate first.

Are you actually buying in Pima County or just Phoenix?

Pima County too. We are an Arizona company, not a Phoenix company that occasionally drives south.

More general answers are on our questions page.

Should you list instead?

Sometimes, honestly, yes. If your Tucson house is in good shape and you are not in a hurry, listing will usually net more. If it needs work, or you are on a deadline, or you cannot face showings, the maths often goes the other way once commissions and repairs come out. We set out both sides of that comparison.

Get our offer first either way — it is free, and it gives you a firm number to measure any listing estimate against. Note that once you sign a listing agreement we can no longer buy the house directly.
