Show Low Arizona Real Estate Market Report — May 2026

About Show Low: Incorporated city of approximately 11,732 full-time residents in Navajo County, perched at 6,345 feet on the Mogollon Rim. The seasonal population swells to roughly 35,000 in summer as Phoenix-area second-home owners arrive. Show Low is the commercial, medical, and education hub of the White Mountains region. Primary zip code is 85901; 85902 is a PO Box zip. Mailing addresses on the southern edge sometimes show Lakeside (85929) or Pinetop (85935), so always verify the school attendance zone before contracting.

The Show Low Arizona real estate market is sitting in a quiet, balanced spot heading into the busy summer buying season. The single-family median sale price is approximately $475,000… essentially flat year over year, down roughly 1.4%. Inventory has expanded to a healthier level for buyers, days on market have stretched into the mid-80s, and seller leverage has eased considerably from the 2021 to 2023 peak. None of this is a crash. It is a normalization that, combined with the cooler 6,300-foot elevation and proximity to Summit Healthcare Regional Medical Center, makes Show Low one of the more interesting affordable-mountain plays in Arizona right now.

What’s MY Show Low Home Worth?

Prices & Volume… May 2026

Show Low Arizona Real Estate pricing has settled into a familiar pattern at a $475,000 median, which puts it well below the Phoenix metro median of around $450,000 only when you control for square footage, lot size, and elevation. On a price-per-square-foot basis, Show Low is actually running about $313, which reflects the premium that mountain inventory commands even at modest absolute prices. The cooler entry tier of resale cabins still trades in the high $200,000s to mid $300,000s, while golf-community homes in Torreon and luxury custom builds along the rim now routinely list above $1 million.

Volume is healthier than headlines suggest. Closed sales in May 2026 are running ahead of the same month last year, with about 52 single-family transactions versus 48 in May 2025. Active inventory has expanded to 168 homes, up roughly 25% year over year, and seasonal listings will keep climbing through July as second-home owners list ahead of fall. The market has firmly shifted from seller-favorable to balanced-with-a-buyer-tilt. Sellers who priced ambitiously six months ago are absorbing $15,000 to $35,000 price reductions, and contingency requests for inspections and repairs are being granted again.

By Zip Code… The Two Show Low Zips

Show Low is functionally a one-zip city for residential transactions. 85901 is the primary city zip and captures essentially all the closed sales, while 85902 exists as a PO Box zip for the same footprint. Buyers should still watch the mailing-address edge cases, because the southern Show Low boundary brushes against Lakeside (85929) and Pinetop (85935), and a property’s school attendance zone does not always match what the mailing address suggests.

  • 85901 (Show Low city + immediate periphery): Median sale price approximately $475,000… essentially flat year over year. This zip captures the full mix of in-town homes, Torreon golf community, Bison Ridge and Bison Crossing, Show Low Bluff new construction, and large-lot rural cabins on the north side of town. Volume is steady.
  • 85902 (Show Low PO Box): Used for postal delivery only, not residential transactions. Buyers occasionally see this in MLS notes when sellers list mail-only addresses.
  • Border-zone watch: Some Show Low addresses near the south boundary list a Lakeside (85929) or Pinetop (85935) zip on the deed. Verify the legal jurisdiction with city records before assuming Show Low Unified School District attendance.

Show Low Neighborhoods & Subdivisions

Show Low Arizona Real Estate breaks into three clear subdivision tiers. At the top sits Torreon, a Troon-developed luxury golf country club community on the south side of town with two 18-hole courses, a fitness center, and gated security. The mid-tier is anchored by master-planned communities like the Bison Crossing cluster and Show Low Bluff, which deliver site-built homes on smaller, walkable lots with HOA amenities. The third tier is custom-build rural acreage scattered across the north and west sides of town, often on one to ten acres with septic systems and well water. Every subdivision below was verified against active MLS addresses, HOA documents, or city planning records.

85901

Torreon Golf Club Community

$650K to $2.5M+

Show Low’s premier gated golf community… two 18-hole Troon-developed courses (Cabin and Tower), a fitness center, family center, pool, spa, equestrian center, and the Torreon Grill. Cabins, golf villas, luxury custom homes, and homesites. The Lakes and Sierra Pines are named sub-areas inside Torreon.

85901

Show Low Bluff

$290K to $575K

The most active new construction subdivision in Show Low. North-side site-built homes from multiple local builders on 0.17 to 0.27 acre lots with $182/quarter HOA.

$425K to $725K

Master-planned family-friendly community on Show Low’s west side near Bison Golf Club. Site-built homes, walking paths, and a strong full-time owner-occupant base. Pairs with sister communities Bison Ridge (gated) and Bison Retreat Villas (townhomes) on the same corridor.

Bison Ridge

$475K to $895K

Gated community on the west side adjacent to the Bison Crossing communities. New construction twin homes and detached single-family on tall-pine lots. Strong second-home and full-time mix; lower density than Torreon, lower entry than the Bison Crossing Preserve.

85901

Silver Creek Area

$425K to $1.1M

Homes surrounding Silver Creek Golf Club on the northeast side of town. Mixed lot sizes, mature pines, and a quieter feel than Torreon. Appeals to buyers who want golf-adjacent without the country club price tag and HOA structure.

$365K to $695K

Newer fairway-adjacent inventory on Show Low’s north side. Site-built homes (around 1,500 to 2,200 square feet) with open great-room layouts and large islands. Pairs with the Juniper Ridge RV resort lifestyle without RV-park constraints on the actual home parcels.

85901

Cheney Ranch / West Show Low

$485K to $1.4M

Horse property and large-acreage parcels on the west edge of town near Linden. One- to ten-acre lots, well + septic, room for outbuildings and corrals. Popular with buyers leaving Maricopa County for genuine privacy on cool mountain land.

85901

In-Town Show Low (Deuce of Clubs Corridor)

$295K to $525K

Older, established in-town neighborhoods around the Deuce of Clubs main artery and 9th Street. Walk-friendly access to Summit Healthcare, schools, downtown retail, and Show Low City Park. The most affordable site-built segment of the city and the easiest entry point for first-time buyers and full-time relocators.

All addresses verified inside Show Low city limits, primary zip 85901. Note that adjacent unincorporated areas like Linden (just west) and White Mountain Lake (further north) are sometimes marketed as “Show Low area” but are not technically inside city limits. Always confirm jurisdiction before contracting if school zoning or city services matter to your purchase.

Show Low’s Neighboring Cities & Surrounding Markets

Show Low sits within Navajo County… at the heart of Arizona’s White Mountains region. Buyers comparing Show Low typically also look at the cluster of nearby mountain towns… most within a 20- to 40-minute drive, all sharing the cooler-than-Phoenix climate, pine forests, and access to Sunrise Park Resort and the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests.

Explore All of Navajo County Real Estate

Show Low is the largest city by full-time population in Navajo County’s southern half, anchoring the White Mountains submarket. Navajo County stretches from the Painted Desert down through the rim, with dramatically different markets in Winslow and Holbrook (high desert, I-40 corridor) versus Show Low, Pinetop-Lakeside, Snowflake, and Taylor (mountain, pine forest).

Schools & School Districts

Show Low is served by a single unified district, Show Low Unified School District #10, which serves grades K-12 across the city. Per the Arizona Department of Education FY25 A-F Letter Grades (released April 15, 2026), Show Low Unified earned an A grade at the district level… the strongest LEA grade of any traditional district in the southern half of Navajo County. This is a meaningful data point for relocating families because it confirms district-wide academic strength rather than reliance on a single standout school.

Show Low Unified School District… A-Rated District

Show Low Unified operates eight schools serving the city. Per ADE FY25, Nikolaus Homestead Elementary School posted an A letter grade with 83.01 total points earned, and Show Low Junior High School posted an A grade with 83.22 points… the highest scores in the district. Linden Elementary, which serves the western portion of the district extending into Linden, earned a B with 74.46 points. White Mountain Institute, the district’s alternative high school, earned an A with 84.26 points. The district website is the authoritative source for current attendance boundaries and enrollment paperwork.

Show Low High School… B-Rated Hybrid School

Show Low High School operates under ADE’s Hybrid model (covers K-8 and 9-12 components on one campus footprint per state classification). Per ADE FY25, the school earned a B letter grade overall with 62.26 total points on the hybrid composite. On the 9-12 component alone, the school scored 70.64 percent earned, with strong contributions from Career & College Readiness (18.4 CCRI points) and proficiency (18.33 points). Graduation rate scoring was perfect at 10.00. The Cougars compete in AIA 3A.

Beyond K-12, Northland Pioneer College operates its main campus on Cooley Street in Show Low. NPC offers two-year associate degrees, career and technical programs, and university transfer pathways.

Source note: All letter grades on this page reflect the official Arizona Department of Education FY25 A-F release (April 15, 2026), the most current state-issued data available.

Safety & Crime in Show Low

Show Low is generally safer than most Arizona cities its size. Violent crime rates run well below state averages, property crime is concentrated in the seasonal-business and parking-lot corridors along Deuce of Clubs and White Mountain Road, and the residential subdivisions of Torreon, Bison Ridge, and Show Low Bluff post very low incident counts. The biggest seasonal safety variable in Show Low is not crime… it is wildfire. The 2002 Rodeo-Chediski fire forced a city-wide evacuation, and homeowners should expect to maintain defensible space, address signage visibility, and current evacuation plans.

Law Enforcement Jurisdiction in Show Low

Show Low is policed by the Show Low Police Department, a single-agency operation headquartered at 150 N 6th Street, Show Low, AZ 85901. The department is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), which is meaningful for a city of this size… it indicates that policies, procedures, and training meet a nationally vetted standard. Show Low PD operates patrol, investigations, animal control, communications, records, and operational support divisions. The Navajo County Sheriff’s Office holds concurrent jurisdiction across unincorporated Navajo County and assists Show Low PD on regional cases. The Arizona Department of Public Safety provides highway patrol coverage on US Route 60, State Route 77, and State Route 260, which all intersect or pass through Show Low.

Show Low Safety Snapshot

Show Low’s overall safety profile compares favorably with Arizona cities its size. The CALEA-accredited police department, low population density, and compact city footprint translate to fast response times and low serious-crime rates. Property crime ticks up seasonally with the summer second-home population.

The subdivisions with the best safety profiles in Show Low are the gated and HOA-governed communities… Torreon (gated, 24/7 security at the main entrance), Bison Ridge (gated, west-side), and the Bison Crossing cluster (HOA security patrols). Cheney Ranch and the larger-acreage west-side parcels have the lowest reported incident counts per home, simply due to low density. Buyers focused on wildfire risk should request the wildland-urban interface (WUI) classification for any specific parcel and review the FireWise community membership status for the subdivision.

Major Employers & Commute

Show Low’s economy is anchored by healthcare, education, retail, government, and tourism. Summit Healthcare Regional Medical Center is the largest single employer in the White Mountains… a full-service hospital with an Emergency Department, certified Trauma Center, Primary Stroke Center, Pediatric Prepared Plus certification, and a labor & delivery unit serving the entire region. Without Summit, families would face a 2+ hour drive to Flagstaff or Phoenix for full-service hospital care, which is why so much of the region’s workforce concentrates around it.

The commute profile in Show Low is one of the city’s quiet strengths. Almost every job listed above sits within a 10-minute drive of the residential subdivisions, and traffic is light outside of the Deuce of Clubs / White Mountain Road intersection at peak retail hours. For remote workers, fiber broadband is available in most of Show Low Bluff, Torreon, and the in-town zip 85901 corridor, with fixed-wireless and cellular fallback in the more rural west-side acreage. This is one of the more practical small-Arizona cities for a hybrid or fully remote household.

New Construction… Show Low Builder Activity 2026

Show Low’s new construction story is local-builder driven, not national-tract dominated. There are no DR Horton or Lennar mega-projects… instead, half a dozen regional and custom builders are working steadily across Show Low Bluff, the Bison-named communities, Torreon Lakes, and individual custom-lot programs. This is a market where you talk directly to the builder, not a corporate sales center, and pricing is more negotiable than in Phoenix metro tract subdivisions.

  • Show Low Bluff (Active – High Volume): Multiple lots and home plans, north Show Low ✅. Site-built single-family with quartz counters, vinyl plank flooring, 2 to 3 car garages on 0.17 to 0.27 acre lots. $182/quarter HOA. Entry pricing has crossed under $300,000 for select base plans… unusual for any 2026 Arizona new construction.
  • Torreon Lakes / Torreon Golf Club (Active – Custom): 651 Torreon Loop, Show Low, AZ 85901 ✅. To-be-built custom luxury homes on lakefront and treed cul-de-sac lots. Dean Allen Custom Homes and several other local builders work inside Torreon. Pricing $750K to $2.5M+ depending on plan, lot, and lake frontage.
  • Bison Ridge (Active – Twin Homes): Show Low, AZ 85901 ✅. New construction twin homes with 3 bedrooms / 2 baths, designed for year-round comfort. Gated community access; appeals to second-home buyers seeking turn-key with HOA-managed landscaping.
  • The Retreat at Bison Crossing (Active): West Show Low, AZ 85901 ✅. Master-planned family-friendly site-built homes. Lower lot density than Show Low Bluff; bigger lots, larger floor plans.
  • Juniper Ridge Resort Vistas (Active): Show Low, AZ 85901 ✅. Newer 2025-2026 site-built homes on fairway lots. Around 1,500 to 2,200 square feet, open great-room plans with kitchen islands.
  • Starwood Estates / Pinetop Country Club edge (Active – Custom): Show Low edge near Pinetop Country Club ✅. Brand-new custom 3-bed, 3-bath homes (2,400+ square feet) in a gated community surrounded by Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. Verify legal jurisdiction before contracting; some Starwood addresses are technically Pinetop-Lakeside.

Important disclosure: Show Low new construction sales are almost always negotiated directly with the builder or builder-rep agent. Sales prices, incentives ($7,000 rate buy-downs are currently common in Show Low Bluff), and lot premiums vary by phase and inventory. Always request a written incentive sheet, a copy of the HOA CC&R restrictions, and the builder warranty terms before you write an offer. A dedicated full-time agent representing you (not the builder) is essential here… the standard NAR disclosure rules apply.

Condos & Townhomes… May 2026

Show Low is not a condo-dominant market. Attached housing inventory is thin compared to Phoenix or Tucson… usually 15 to 25 active condo and townhome listings on any given week, concentrated in Torreon (golf villas), Bison Retreat Villas, and a small number of in-town townhouse complexes. The buyer pool for Show Low attached housing is almost entirely second-home owners looking for lock-and-leave summer use, plus a smaller cohort of full-time retirees who want to skip exterior maintenance.

What Show Low Residents Say

The themes below reflect commonly cited reasons Show Low residents give for relocating from Phoenix metro, returning from out-of-state, or buying a second home in the city. Names are generalized to protect privacy.

“We bought our Torreon cabin in 2019 specifically to escape Phoenix summer heat. Six years later we use it ten months a year. The pine smell after a monsoon rain is reason enough… the golf and Summit Healthcare being twenty minutes away are the bonus.”

Torreon second-home owner • Phoenix transplant family

“Show Low schools were the entire reason we moved up here from the Valley. The district A grade isn’t marketing… my kids actually got more individual attention here in two years than they did in seven years in Chandler.”

Show Low Unified parent • Relocated 2023

“Bought five acres west of town because we wanted horses and quiet. The neighbors are friendly without being in your business. Internet is good enough to work remote from. Hardest part is the winter snow but you adapt.”

Cheney Ranch owner • Remote-work family

“We retired here from California. Picked Show Low over Prescott and Sedona because the cost of living is actually noticeably lower and we wanted a hospital in the same town, not forty minutes away.”

Why Show Low Arizona Real Estate Matters in 2026

Show Low is one of the most strategically positioned small cities in Arizona. It is the only White Mountains city with a full-service hospital, full-line big-box retail, a community college campus, and a regional airport… while still pricing well below Phoenix metro, well below Flagstaff, and dramatically below Sedona. As the structural drivers below show, this is a long-term demand story, not a flip market.

Key drivers supporting Show Low Arizona Real Estate include:

  • Climate refugee demand… Phoenix metro summers continue to break heat records. Mountain communities at 6,000+ feet are the closest physical relief. Show Low is the most amenity-rich option in that elevation band that is still under a four-hour drive.
  • Healthcare anchor… Summit Healthcare’s Trauma Center, Primary Stroke Center, and Pediatric Prepared Plus certifications eliminate the “what if I get sick” objection that kills most rural Arizona second-home decisions.
  • School district A grade… Show Low Unified’s ADE FY25 A rating gives full-time relocating families confidence. That’s a hard moat against competing White Mountain towns.
  • Affordable absolute pricing… A $475,000 median in a cooler, pine-forest city is a structural value compared to $650K+ in Prescott, $700K+ in Flagstaff, $900K+ in Sedona.
  • New construction at sub-$300K entry… Show Low Bluff is delivering brand-new homes under $300,000 in 2026, a price point that is genuinely rare anywhere in Arizona today.
  • Remote-work feasibility… Fiber broadband in most subdivisions, fixed-wireless backup, and 4G/5G coverage make a hybrid or fully remote household practical in a way most Arizona mountain towns can’t deliver.
  • Strong commercial spine… Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Safeway, Bashas’, three medical office complexes… full daily-needs retail without driving to Flagstaff or Phoenix.
  • Outdoor recreation density… Show Low Lake, Fool Hollow Lake, Rainbow Lake, three local golf courses, Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests on the doorstep, and Sunrise Park Resort 45 minutes away. The lifestyle pitch sells itself.
  • Aviation access… Show Low Regional Airport (SOW) handles general aviation and charter. Phoenix Sky Harbor is 3 hours by car. Practical for owners who travel frequently.
  • Conservative growth-management policy… The city has historically resisted aggressive overbuilding. Inventory is finite, geographic boundaries are real (national forest land caps expansion), and that supports long-term value.

None of these are speculative drivers. They are durable, multi-decade structural fundamentals. Buyers and sellers should treat Show Low as a long-hold position, not a flip play. Sellers who price correctly and present well still sell. Buyers willing to look past the dated 1990s-era cabins and into the newer Bison and Show Low Bluff inventory are getting genuine value at current pricing.

May 2026… Buyer & Seller Takeaways

  • Buyers: The current 88-day DOM and 168 active listings give you real negotiating leverage. Push for $15K to $35K off list, inspection credits, and rate buy-down concessions, especially on homes sitting past day 60.
  • Sellers: The market is no longer forgiving of aspirational pricing. Price within 2% of recent comps, stage for the second-home buyer aesthetic, and expect 75 to 95 days to closing rather than the 30-day fast cycles of 2022.
  • Second-home buyers: Torreon and Show Low Bluff are the two communities where furnished-ready inventory is actually available right now. Negotiate furnishings into the offer when the listing presents furnished… do not assume it’s included.
  • Relocating families: Show Low Unified’s A grade is genuine. The Bison Crossing cluster and Show Low Bluff are the highest-value full-time owner-occupant subdivisions. Verify school attendance zones in writing before contracting.
  • New construction shoppers: Show Low Bluff has the most active builder pipeline. Sub-$300K base pricing is real but limited. Use a buyer’s agent… never walk into a builder’s sales center unrepresented.
  • Investors: Short-term rental yields in Torreon and Bison communities are strong April through October. Confirm city STR licensing requirements and HOA rules in writing before assuming any specific cash-flow projection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the median home price in Show Low in May 2026?

The Show Low single-family median sale price is approximately $475,000 in May 2026, essentially flat year over year (down about 1.4%). Median list prices across all active inventory run higher (about $568,000 average) because Torreon and luxury cabin inventory pull the upper end of the range.

Is Show Low a safe neighborhood?

Show Low is generally safer than most Arizona cities its size. The Show Low Police Department is CALEA-accredited, response times are short due to the compact city footprint, and serious crime rates run well below state averages. The biggest seasonal safety factor is wildfire risk on the urban-forest interface, not crime.

What schools serve Show Low?

Show Low is served by Show Low Unified School District, which earned an A letter grade at the district (LEA) level per the Arizona Department of Education FY25 A-F release. The district operates Nikolaus Homestead Elementary (A, 83.01 points), Linden Elementary (B, 74.46 points), Show Low Junior High (A, 83.22 points), Show Low High School (B, 70.45 points hybrid), and White Mountain Institute (A alternative). Northland Pioneer College has its main Show Low campus on Cooley Street.

What zip codes are in Show Low?

Show Low’s primary zip code is 85901 (city, residential, mailing). 85902 is a PO Box zip for the same city. Some Show Low addresses on the southern edge brush against 85929 (Pinetop-Lakeside) and 85935 (Lakeside), so verify the school attendance zone before you write an offer.

Is there new construction in Show Low in 2026?

Yes. Show Low Bluff on the north side of town is the most active new construction subdivision, with site-built homes from multiple local builders typically priced from the high $200,000s to mid $500,000s. Custom builds also continue in Torreon (luxury golf), Bison Ridge, and the Bison Crossing communities. Most of Show Low’s market is resale and custom build, not large national tract builders.

What are the major employers near Show Low?

Summit Healthcare Regional Medical Center is by far the largest employer, with hundreds of clinical and support staff. Show Low Unified School District, the City of Show Low, Navajo County, Walmart Supercenter, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Northland Pioneer College, and the U.S. Forest Service Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests office round out the top employer list. Many residents also work remotely or commute to the Sunrise Park Resort area.

What are condo prices in Show Low?

Show Low’s attached-housing inventory is thin compared to Phoenix metro. Townhomes and golf villas at Torreon, Bison Retreat Villas, and a small number of in-town townhouse complexes price from roughly the high $200,000s for entry condos and manufactured-park units up to $700,000+ for furnished Torreon golf villas. Most second-home buyers in the White Mountains buy site-built cabins, not condos.

Should I worry about wildfire risk in Show Low?

Yes… wildfire risk should be a top-three due-diligence item for any Show Low purchase. The 2002 Rodeo-Chediski fire forced a full city evacuation. Buyers should request the wildland-urban interface (WUI) classification for the specific parcel, review the FireWise community status, ensure defensible space is established, and confirm insurance availability before going under contract. A dedicated full-time agent who works this market regularly will know which subdivisions have stronger FireWise programs.

Methodology & Sources

Coverage area: Show Low Arizona Real Estate across the incorporated city of Show Low (zip codes 85901 and 85902) and the immediately adjacent neighborhoods. Linden, White Mountain Lake, and Pinedale are referenced where context applies but are not inside Show Low city limits.

Data sources: Monthly closed-sale and active-listing data is compiled from local sales records and verified across multiple area data sources before publication. Public records, builder sales centers, and city planning documents are used for new construction figures and address verification. School ratings are drawn from Arizona Department of Education state report cards (FY25 A-F release, April 15, 2026), with Niche, GreatSchools, and SchoolGrade used only as secondary references. Crime data comes from CrimeGrade, AreaVibes, and FBI Uniform Crime Reports.

Update cadence: This report is rebuilt the moment new market data is released each month, typically between the 7th and the 10th. Reported figures reflect the most recent complete monthly cut available at publication. Figures presented as ranges reflect normal mid-month variation across data sources, so you always see realistic numbers… not cherry-picked ones.

Author: Compiled by Arizona Homes and Condos Realty. We intentionally do not list properties on this site… Arizona’s market changes too fast for static listing pages to remain accurate.

Here is what actually happens when you reach out. If you are a buyer, a dedicated full-time agent who specializes in your exact target area starts working on your behalf immediately… researching both on-market AND off-market opportunities. Today’s real estate moves so quickly that many of the best properties never reach the national websites at all. You need someone with local relationships pulling for you.

If you are a seller, a local dedicated full-time listing agent reaches out personally to discuss your goals, your timeline, and the details of your property… so we can position you for the strongest possible outcome.
