What the Arizona 55+ market update shows this month
Homes are selling close to asking. Across these communities, Arizona 55+ home prices run from about $112,000 to $2.7 million. Even so, homes sold at about 95% to 99% of list price. In other words, it’s a balanced market. Sellers are getting fair prices, and at the same time, buyers have room to negotiate on homes that are overpriced.
Arizona 55+ market update: where prices start
Sun City is the most affordable entry point for site-built homes. Patio homes and townhomes there have sold from about $112,000. Meanwhile, single-family homes started at about $200,000. It’s also the busiest market, with more than 360 homes for sale.
Surprise has more value picks. For example, Sun Village condos sold from about $132,500, with homes from about $250,000. Heritage at Asante, where the builder is still selling, also moved fast. In fact, most homes there sold in about 7 weeks at 99% of list.
Happy Trails Resort is the budget way to own your land. Park models and manufactured homes there are listed from about $150,000, and you own the lot. However, summer is its slow season, so it had just 3 sales.
The West Valley middle and top
The Grand (formerly Sun City Grand) and Sun City West cover the middle. Both have wide price ranges, from the low $200,000s to $800,000 and up. As a result, there’s a home for most budgets.
Smaller gated communities offer a middle ground. Arizona Traditions (about $271,000 to $478,000) and Corte Bella (about $299,000 to $800,000) have fewer homes for sale at any time. Because of that, the right one can go quickly.
The newer West Valley resort communities run higher. This group includes PebbleCreek (57 sales, about $340,000 to $1.75 million) and Sun City Festival (53 sales, middle sale near $475,000). It also includes Victory at Verrado (45 sales, middle sale near $508,000) and Trilogy at Vistancia (middle sale near $698,000). Here, you’ll find newer homes and bigger resort amenities. Meanwhile, Westbrook Village, Ventana Lakes, and CantaMia sit in between, with middle sales near $443,000, $370,000, and $357,000.
Sun Lakes, Mesa and Chandler retirement communities
Sun Lakes is the East Valley’s busiest area. Cottonwood (42 sales) and Oakwood (41 sales) led the way, with middle sales near $408,000 and $575,000. Also, Sun Lakes Country Club, the original, had homes from about $180,000.
Mesa and Chandler hold steady value. Sunland Village had the lowest East Valley entry, from about $157,000. Then came Dreamland Villa, from about $222,000. In Chandler, meanwhile, SunBird, Springfield, and Solera all sold from about $275,000 to $315,000.
The East Valley has gated value too. For example, Fountain of the Sun in east Mesa is a guard-gated 55+ golf community. It sold from about $229,000 to $430,000, with dues around $127 a month. Nearby Leisure World is also gated, with two private golf courses and 16 pickleball courts. Homes there sold from about $183,000 to $560,000.
Scottsdale, Rio Verde and outlying markets
Scottsdale and Rio Verde are the premium end. Terravita sold from about $625,000 to $1.6 million, and homes there sold in about 50 days on average. Trilogy at Verde River has 44 homes for sale and 10 sales, so buyers have choices there. On the other hand, Villa Monterey offers a Scottsdale address at a lower price, with sales from about $335,000.
Some outlying markets favor buyers. For instance, Sun City Anthem at Merrill Ranch in Florence has 67 homes for sale against 26 sales. Similarly, Trilogy at Wickenburg Ranch has about 90 for sale and 12 sales, taking about 230 days on average. Mission Royale in Casa Grande also has 39 for sale and 10 sales. Finally, Province in Maricopa had homes from about $230,000.
Blackstone is the luxury end. It’s all-ages, not 55+. Still, many active adults shop it for private golf, and sales there ran up to about $2.7 million.
Arizona 55+ home prices for every community we cover
Arizona 55+ home prices for all 50 communities we cover are now on this page, from Sun City to Scottsdale. So if you’re planning a move to an Arizona retirement community, you can compare towns side by side. Don’t see yours? Ask us, and we’ll pull the numbers for you.
How we build our Arizona 55+ market update
We refresh Arizona 55+ home prices for most communities every month. However, smaller communities with fewer sales are marked “updated quarterly” in the table. That way, a single sale doesn’t throw off the picture.
For each community, we pull a 90-day report from the Arizona Regional MLS. A few very small communities, like RidgeCrest at Vistancia and Scottsdale Heights, sell so rarely that we use the last 6 or 12 months instead. In those cases, we label the rows.
Here’s what each column means. For sale means active listings. Under contract means pending sales, including backup and contingent contracts. Sold means closed sales in the last 90 days. Also, the price range runs from the lowest to the highest closed sale. Finally, when a community has both single-family homes and condos, patio homes, or townhomes, we show each type separately.
Arizona 55+ market update: common questions
What do homes cost in Arizona retirement communities right now?

Is now a good time to buy in an Arizona 55+ community?
Homes are selling at about 95% to 99% of list price, which is a balanced market. Still, the right time depends on your plans, the community, and the home. That’s why we’ll give you an honest read on the specific community you’re watching.

Finally, for park models and manufactured homes where you own the land, Happy Trails Resort in Surprise is listed from about $150,000.
How often is this page updated?
Monthly. We refresh each community’s numbers at the start of the month. However, we refresh smaller communities every quarter.
