Daycare and childcare center properties in Tucson are governed by stringent state licensing requirements, including specific square footage per child, outdoor play area mandates, fire safety systems, and ADA accessibility standards. When a daycare closes, the property often sits vacant because potential buyers must invest heavily to meet Arizona's childcare licensing requirements or pursue costly zoning changes for alternative uses. EasyOffer purchases daycare properties directly for cash, whether the license is active, suspended, or surrendered.
Tucson's housing market is cooling after several years of rapid appreciation, with home values declining modestly in 2025 and new apartment supply bringing rental relief. The city remains significantly more affordable than Phoenix, positioning it as an attractive alternative for remote workers and retirees. New zoning reforms allowing multi-family housing citywide could reshape the market over the next several years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell my daycare if the childcare license has been surrendered?
Yes. We buy daycare properties regardless of whether the childcare license is active, suspended, or surrendered. We are purchasing the real estate, not the operating license.
What happens to the daycare's state licensing when the property is sold?
Childcare licenses in Arizona are issued to the operator, not the building. When the property changes hands, the new owner or operator would need to apply for a new license. This does not affect our ability to purchase the property.
Do I need to remove playground equipment, cribs, and furniture?
No. We buy daycare properties with all playground equipment, fencing, cribs, child-sized furniture, and interior fixtures in place. Remove what you want; leave the rest.
What if my daycare building does not meet current state licensing standards?
Many older daycare facilities were built under previous codes. We purchase properties that do not meet current standards and handle any necessary updates after closing.
Can I sell a daycare property that is zoned strictly for childcare use?
Yes. We buy properties with childcare-specific zoning. If a zoning change is needed for alternative use, we handle that process after we own the property.
How quickly can I close on selling my daycare in Tucson?
Most daycare property sales close in 14-21 days. If you need extra time to transition families to other providers or handle employee matters, we will accommodate your schedule.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
