Every comp adjusted like-for-like. The smaller older homes get the biggest upward adjustments. The 2002+ Sabino Mountain comps get adjusted down for age and lot. Net adjusted median lands at $1.43M, inside one percent of the Strategic recommendation. Source: Tucson MLS comparable sales with the LPR adjustment grid.

7871 sits dead-center of the closed comp cluster at $339/sqft, well under the active competition median of $384/sqft. The cautionary tale is the active at 209 DOM that priced into the ceiling. Closed median anchors the floor. Source: Tucson MLS closed and active comparables, Foothills 85750 (May 2026).
