— ABOUT PIMA COUNTY LOANS

Pima County
Mortgage Financing

Pacific Home Loans provides mortgage financing throughout Pima County, including Tucson, Oro Valley, Marana, and Sahuarita. We offer conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo, portfolio, and Non-QM loan programs structured for Pima County’s diverse property landscape and borrower profiles.

Pima County combines a vibrant university and healthcare economy with one of Arizona’s most significant active-duty and veteran military populations, anchored by Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. With a 2026 conforming loan limit of $832,750, the majority of Tucson-area transactions fall within conventional financing parameters — though the county’s growing luxury foothills communities, strong investor market, and concentration of self-employed and medical professionals create consistent demand for jumbo, Non-QM, and portfolio solutions. Tucson also attracts a steady flow of California and out-of-state buyers drawn by its affordability, University of Arizona presence, and year-round outdoor lifestyle.

Tucson Luxury & Foothills

  • Oro Valley – master-planned luxury community north of Tucson with strong appreciation
  • Dove Mountain (Marana) – guard-gated golf and resort community with luxury new construction

California Relocator & Out-of-State Buyer Financing

Common financing scenarios include:
