Buying in Marana

What Is Different About Buying in Marana

Marana stretches across two counties along I-10. Plan for these before you write an offer.

Two Counties

Marana lies in both Pima and Pinal Counties (Arizona Commerce Authority). Your county sets your FHA limit, property tax and recording office, so confirm which side of the line the home sits on.

The I-10 Corridor

Marana sits about 25 miles north of downtown Tucson with 20 miles of frontage along Interstate 10 (Arizona Commerce Authority). Lenders qualify you on your income, wherever you work.

Next to Saguaro National Park

Marana borders the West District of Saguaro National Park (Arizona Commerce Authority). Shopping near the park? If the community has HOA dues, run them through the calculator below before you offer.

Selling Before You Buy?

Marana is a town of owners, with 83.7% of homes owner occupied (Census). If you already own, bridge financing lets you buy first and sell after, so you only move once.

Five Star Resort, Tortolita Trails

Marana is home to the Forbes 5 Star rated Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain, with its own golf course and spa, and the Tortolita Mountains pull hikers in for the views (Town of Marana). Marana Regional Airport handles executive travel and general aviation (Town of Marana). Buying in a golf or resort community? Send us the dues and any club fees and we will count them in your approval.

Estimate only, not a quote or a commitment to lend.

Conventional loans under 20% down usually carry PMI; enter your quote. Taxes and insurance vary by home.
