Arizona Home Prices in 2025
By Denise Hurd
Thinking of selling or buying in the Phoenix metro area? One of the first questions I get is: “What are homes going for right now?” In real estate, having real data is everything. Below, I break down current price trends across key cities I serve (Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Mesa, Queen Creek, Paradise Valley) and offer strategic insight for buyers, sellers, and investors.
Current Price Snapshot (2025)
Here’s a look at recent median or typical prices in some of our core markets:
| City / Area | Approximate Median Home Price / Typical Range* | Notes & Context |
|---|---|---|
| Phoenix (metro overall) | ~$445,000 | In August 2025, the median sale price in Phoenix was ~$445K (down ~1.1% year-over-year) Redfin |
| Gilbert, AZ | ~$565,000 | Gilbert’s median sale price recently was $565,250, with inventory remaining active Redfin |
| Chandler, AZ | ~$530,000 | In August 2025, Chandler’s median was ~$530K, essentially flat vs. prior year Redfin |
| Scottsdale / Luxury Sub-markets | From $800,000 up to multiple millions | Scottsdale’s entry-level areas may start in the $800K+ range, while premium neighborhoods reach into the multi-million-dollar tier (especially in Paradise Valley / Camelback Corridor) |
| Queen Creek / San Tan Valley area | ~$600,000+ | Queen Creek tends toward the higher end of growth corridors; listings often cross the $600K mark depending on lot size, finishes, and amenities |
| Paradise Valley | High-end / Ultra-luxury | Many homes in Paradise Valley and adjacent luxury zones range well into the millions |
*These are median/typical recent values. Your home (or the home you’re eyeing) could differ significantly based on condition, lot size, upgrades, and neighborhood.
Beyond city-level medians, it’s worth noting that Arizona statewide median sale prices have softened slightly: as of mid-2025, the statewide median was about $444,500 Norada Real Estate. Also, in Greater Phoenix through Q1 2025, average home prices were about $434,797 commonsenseinstituteus.org.
These shifts reflect a market that’s cooling modestly after years of steep appreciation.
What This Means for You
-
For Sellers: Homes that are well-positioned (good condition, proper pricing, smart marketing) are still drawing attention—but overpricing in this climate can lead to longer days on market or price reductions.
-
For Buyers: You have more leverage now than in the past few years. More inventory, softer competition, and motivated sellers may open doors for negotiation.
-
For Investors: While appreciation may slow, areas with strong fundamentals (job growth, amenities, accessibility) can still yield long-term upside.

Q: When is the best time to list my home?
A: The sooner you start with a smart pricing and staging plan, the better. In a more balanced or cooling market, timing matters—but being ready now gives you flexibility for seasonal shifts.
Q: How much room is there for negotiation?
A: More than in the recent past. With inventory up and fewer multiple-offer situations, buyers are seeing more seller concessions and price flexibility.
Q: Which cities are most stable or “safe bets” right now?
A: Gilbert, Chandler, and parts of Mesa still show solid demand and price resilience. Meanwhile, super-luxury markets (Scottsdale, Paradise Valley) are more sensitive to economic shifts.
Q: How can I be confident of my home’s value (or offer)?
A: Work with a local agent who analyzes comparable sales, adjusts for upgrades, and understands neighborhood dynamics. That’s how you get a realistic, actionable price—not just a guess.
