What I would personally do in Tubac
With only 11 sales in the Redfin window, I would not lean on the Tubac median. What I would personally do is pull each closed sale near the house by hand, check the condition and the days it took, and price from those.
The median moved +15.1% from a year earlier. A shift that size in one area often reflects which homes sold, not only what prices did, so compare like homes before reading it as a trend.
