What the Arizona 55+ market update shows this month
These numbers are for single-family homes. Starting this update, every price on this page is for single-family homes only. Condos, patio homes and townhomes are left out, so the numbers compare apples to apples. Looking for something smaller or lower priced? See our 55+ patio homes, townhomes and condos.
Homes are selling close to asking. Across these communities, single-family homes sold from about $160,000 to $2.7 million in the last 90 days. In other words, it’s a balanced market. Sellers are getting fair prices, and buyers have room to negotiate on homes that are overpriced.
Arizona 55+ market update: where prices start
Sun City is still the most affordable entry point. Single-family homes there sold from about $160,500, with a middle sale near $320,000. It’s also the busiest market, with 158 sales and more than 220 homes for sale.
Sun City West is close behind. Its single-family homes sold from about $190,000, with a middle sale near $375,000 across 145 sales.
Surprise has more value picks. Heritage at Asante, where the builder is still selling, sold from about $324,000. Arizona Traditions sold from about $302,500 to $478,000.
Happy Trails Resort is the budget way to own your land. It’s park models and manufactured homes, not single-family homes, and you own the lot. It had just 4 sales, from about $140,000 to $275,000.
The West Valley middle and top
The Grand (formerly Sun City Grand) and Sun City West cover the middle. The Grand sold from about $270,000 to $970,000, with a middle sale near $425,000. As a result, there’s a home for most budgets.
Smaller gated communities offer a middle ground. Arizona Traditions and Corte Bella (about $299,000 to $950,000) 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 (55 sales, about $335,000 to $1.6 million) and Sun City Festival (45 sales, middle sale near $455,000). It also includes Victory at Verrado (43 sales, middle sale near $556,000) and Trilogy at Vistancia (middle sale near $695,000). Meanwhile, Westbrook Village, Ventana Lakes and CantaMia sit in between, with middle sales near $465,000, $365,000 and $390,000.
Sun Lakes, Mesa and Chandler retirement communities
Sun Lakes is the East Valley’s busiest area. Cottonwood (41 sales) and Oakwood (38 sales) led the way, with middle sales near $415,000 and $591,000. Sun Lakes Country Club, the original, had single-family homes from about $236,000.
Mesa and Chandler hold steady value. SunBird in Chandler had the lowest East Valley entry, from about $205,000. Then came Leisure World, from about $215,000, and Dreamland Villa, from about $221,000. Sunland Village sold from about $295,000, and Springfield and Solera Chandler from about $310,000 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. Its single-family homes sold from about $229,000 to $440,000. Nearby Leisure World is also gated, with two private golf courses and 16 pickleball courts. Homes there sold from about $215,000 to $560,000.
Scottsdale, Rio Verde and outlying markets
Scottsdale and Rio Verde are the premium end. Terravita sold from about $625,000 to $1.65 million. Trilogy at Verde River has 63 homes for sale and 9 sales, so buyers have choices there. Villa Monterey offers a Scottsdale address at a lower price, but it’s mostly townhome-style homes, so ask us for its latest numbers.
Some outlying markets favor buyers. For instance, Sun City Anthem at Merrill Ranch in Florence has 67 homes for sale against 28 sales. Similarly, Trilogy at Wickenburg Ranch has about 100 for sale and 13 sales. Mission Royale in Casa Grande has 54 for sale and 11 sales. Finally, Province in Maricopa had homes from about $275,000.
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?
Arizona 55+ home prices depend on the community. On this page, for example, recent single-family sales ranged from about $160,000 in Sun City to about $1.6 million in PebbleCreek. In the Scottsdale area, Terravita sold up to about $1.65 million. To compare, see the table above. Then call us for today’s numbers.
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.
Which Arizona 55+ community is the most affordable?
For single-family homes, Sun City has the lowest entry prices, from about $160,000 in the last 90 days. Sun City West followed from about $190,000, and SunBird in Chandler from about $205,000. Condos, patio homes and townhomes can cost less. Finally, for park models and manufactured homes where you own the land, Happy Trails Resort in Surprise sold from about $140,000.
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.

Averages can’t tell you what your home will sell for. Instead, request a home value or call (480) 710-6326. Then we’ll pull the real comps for your home. Also, our sell your home page walks you through the next steps.
