Springerville Arizona Real Estate Market Report — August 2026
$235,000 median … 157 days on market … 27% of active listings took a price cut
The off-market Springerville homes that never hit the national portals… you see before the public search sites ever list them.
That’s why you use a dedicated full-time local agent. They are in the know on the local scene and are the go-getters. Did you know nearly half of licensed agents closed ZERO deals last year? (Ask yourself… is this person even in the business?) FACT!
27% of Springerville listings cut their price last month. Median $235,000. 157 days on market.
Goes straight to a dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Springerville. Personal reply, FAST. No auto-drips. Not a subscription list. Not an email drip. A dedicated full-time agent/broker texting you personally when inventory matching your criteria surfaces.
Off-market inventory goes to clients, not to leads. Becoming a client takes a signed written representation agreement with compensation negotiable and disclosed in writing. That signature is the difference between seeing these homes and reading about them later.
Springerville Arizona Real Estate in August 2026 punishes sellers who guessed and rewards buyers who waited. 27% of active listings have already taken a price cut. Median days on market sits at 157. The seller who priced off a hunch in March is now negotiating from weakness in August.
The Springerville Arizona Real Estate numbers under the noise: the trailing closed median is $235,000, the current list median is $387,000, and that gap is the single most important fact in this market. Springerville homes for sale are listing far above what Springerville homes actually close at. Buyers who know the closed comps hold all the leverage.
Springerville’s population is 1,723 per the U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Population Estimates Program. Small denominator, thin volume, big price swings… one or two closings move the monthly median. That is why a dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Springerville is worth more here than in any Phoenix suburb. The Springerville realty market runs on local knowledge, not algorithms.
The anchor employers are locked in for a decade. The Springerville Generating Station coal-to-gas conversion won unanimous Arizona Corporation Commission approval in March 2026. White Mountain Regional Medical Center remains the only hospital for 100 miles. Round Valley schools carry an A-rated high school. The fundamentals did not change this month. The leverage did.
Moving to Springerville from California, Washington, or Texas?
Moving to Springerville from another state? Census data shows 234,900 people relocated to Arizona from another state in a single year. The ten largest origin states: California, Washington, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, New Mexico, and Utah. Relocating from California, you trade coastal price per square foot and wildfire insurance non-renewals for a $235,000 closed median and 1,723 neighbors at 6,968 feet. From Washington or Illinois, the number that matters is Arizona’s flat 2.5% state income tax.
Out-of-state buyers lose the most money in Springerville because they cannot see the streets… the town-limits boundary that changes police jurisdiction, taxes, and well-versus-municipal water from one parcel to the next.

What Do Springerville Homes for Sale Cost in August 2026?
The August 2026 Springerville Arizona Real Estate market is a tale of two price sheets. Sellers are listing at a $387,000 median. Buyers are closing at a $235,000 trailing median. Somebody is wrong, and the 27% price-cut rate says it is the sellers.
Verified recent closings tell the honest story: $319,900 on E Maricopa Drive for a 1,344 square foot in-town primary. $258,960 on S Voigt Street. $366,710 for 22.25 acres on E Crystal Lane. $555,000 for an upper-band 1,760 square foot home on E Yaqui Street. That spread is the real market.
Springerville homes for sale by bedroom count
Three-bedroom Springerville homes for sale anchor the working market. Current three-bedroom actives run $188,000 (5-bed on N Papago at land value) to $300,000 (1,836 square feet on E Becker Lane). Expect a realistic three-bedroom closing band of $220,000 to $320,000 depending on lot, condition, and utilities.
Four-bedroom Springerville Arizona Real Estate inventory is thin and priced wide. Current actives include $239,000 for 1,889 square feet on E Becker Lane Road (private well) and $270,000 for 2,540 square feet on E Maricopa Drive. The four-bedroom closing band runs $250,000 to $420,000. Above that you are buying acreage, views, or a log build… not bedrooms.
Springerville AZ Land for Sale… the Second Market
Springerville AZ land for sale is its own economy. Tracked national listing feeds show 35 active parcels across the greater 85938 footprint, from a $20,000 quarter-acre in-town lot on S Susie Lane to $125,000 for 7.99 acres near Nutrioso. In-town lots carry municipal water and sewer. Out-of-town parcels need well and septic… budget $20,000 to $40,000 before framing starts. Springerville AZ land for sale rewards cash buyers with surveys in hand.
Buyers hunting Springerville AZ land for sale should know the price-cut dynamic applies to parcels as much as homes. The S Susie Lane lot took a $2,500 reduction in late June. Land sellers in a 157-day market negotiate. Buyers who show up with cash and a survey close at real discounts.
Springerville Arizona Real Estate volume… the August picture
One verified Springerville Arizona Real Estate single-family closing inside town limits in the past 30 days. That is not a typo. Active inventory sits at 31 to 37 homes across tracked sources, the peak of the summer listing season, against a buyer pool that closes one to four homes monthly.
Median days on market is 157… down 29% year over year, which means correctly priced homes are moving faster than last summer. The homes pulling the median up are the overpriced ones. Median listing age across all actives sits at 289 days per tracked feed data. Most sellers on the market today listed last fall and are exhausted.
Sale-to-list holds at 96%. The average Springerville closing lands 4% under asking. Stack that against the 27% of listings that already cut once and the negotiating math is plain: offer against the cut, not against the original list.
Springerville Arizona Real Estate by Zip Code
Springerville is a single-zip market (85938), and Springerville AZ land for sale spans the entire footprint. The same zip also covers unincorporated Greer, Nutrioso, South Fork, and Holiday Park. Tax rates, police jurisdiction, utilities, and permit authority all change at the town line… verify every address.
- 85938 (Springerville and surrounding Apache County): Trailing three-month closed median $235,000, up 4.4% year over year. Current list median $387,000 at $222 per square foot… a 65% premium over the closed median that explains the 27% price-cut rate. The zip code also covers unincorporated Greer, Nutrioso, Holiday Park, and South Fork. Always confirm whether an address sits inside Springerville town limits before assuming town taxes, town utilities, and Round Valley PD jurisdiction.
Springerville Realty by Neighborhood & Subdivision
Springerville Arizona Real Estate does not include master-planned subdivisions in the Phoenix sense. Buyers shop by neighborhood and street. Below are the named subdivisions filed on Apache County plat maps inside town limits, each verified against a current published listing address in 85938.
Springerville Townsite
Historic core of Springerville Arizona Real Estate along Main Street and the original town plat. Mix of 1920s-1960s bungalows, post-war ranches, and the occasional newer infill. Walkable to Town Hall, the post office, and the Springerville Heritage Center. Best buyer for owner-occupants who want lower price points and short distance to services.
El Cajon Estates
South-side platted subdivision along S El Cajon Circle. 1970s-1980s stick-built ranches on quarter to half acre lots, mature trees, full city utilities. Best for primary residents wanting a real subdivision feel inside town limits.
Coronado Acres
North-side larger-lot subdivision along N Becker Lake Road. Half-acre to multi-acre parcels, 1980s-1990s plus custom builds, horse-friendly. Best for acreage buyers who want to stay inside town limits.
Hillcrest
South-central platted subdivision. Modest 1980s-2010s single-family homes on standard lots, full utilities, walkable to Round Valley Elementary. Best for first-time buyers and downsizing retirees.
Green View Acres
Older south-side addition along S Catalina Avenue. Small homes under 1,200 square feet. The most affordable platted subdivision in town… best for entry-level buyers and workforce-rental investors.
Saffell Addition
Original platted addition beside the Townsite. Older bungalows and post-war ranches on grid streets near Main Street, full town utilities. Best for downtown walkability with a larger original lot.
All six subdivisions above verified against current MLS-published addresses inside Springerville town limits, zip code 85938. Holiday Park, South Fork, Greer, and Nutrioso use the 85938 zip code but sit outside Springerville town limits in unincorporated Apache County and are not included here.
Springerville White Mountains Real Estate… How the Region Compares
Springerville sits within Apache County… the heart of Springerville White Mountains real estate. Buyers comparing Springerville homes for sale almost always also look at Eagar (its sister town across the highway), Show Low, Pinetop-Lakeside, and the cabin towns of Greer and Alpine. Below is the working set of Arizona cities and towns most directly comparable to Springerville on price, elevation, and lifestyle.
Explore All of Apache County Real Estate
Apache County is Arizona’s third-largest county by land area and one of its most rural. Springerville and Eagar are the largest incorporated towns in the southern half of the county. The northern half is dominated by the Navajo Nation and the Petrified Forest National Park. Apache County’s full real estate guide covers all of its incorporated towns, unincorporated communities, and tribal lands.
▶Apache County Real Estate Guide◀Schools That Drive Springerville Arizona Real Estate Demand
Per the Arizona Department of Education FY25 A-F Letter Grades (released April 15, 2026), Round Valley Unified School District earned a B district letter grade. One unified district serves both Springerville and Eagar across K-12… one board, four schools, and the famous geodesic Ensphere stadium in Eagar.
For Springerville Arizona Real Estate buyers with kids, this means zero district-shopping inside Round Valley. The district consolidated in 1969 from six community schools. There is no competing K-8 district and no separate high school district anywhere in the valley.
Round Valley Unified School District… B-Rated District
District performance skews stronger at the upper grades. Round Valley Middle School scored an A with 76.84 total points… the highest score in the district. Round Valley Elementary earned a C with 68.45 points.
What that means for your kids: the pipeline strengthens after the elementary years, and the A-rated middle and high schools are the district’s selling point for relocating families.
Round Valley Unified School District (HS)… B-Rated District
The Round Valley high school operates inside the same unified district and earned an A letter grade in the ADE FY25 release. Round Valley High School posted 79.63 total points earned, a 9-12 graduation rate score of 10 out of 10, and a CCRI (College and Career Readiness Index) score of 10 out of 10. The high school plays in the famed Round Valley Ensphere… the only domed high school stadium in the world.
Round Valley High School
Per ADE FY25 official data, Round Valley High School earned an A letter grade with 79.63 total points earned, a perfect 10.00 graduation rate score, and a perfect 10.00 CCRI college and career readiness score. Home of the Ensphere… the only geodesic dome high school stadium in the world.

Is Springerville Arizona Real Estate in a Safe Area?
Springerville Arizona Real Estate buyers should understand the safety math before reacting to the headline grade. CrimeGrade rates the town D+ at the 27th percentile… but that is a per-capita metric distorted by a 1,723-person denominator.
The raw numbers: 53 recorded incidents per year inside 11.7 square miles. Property crime dominates; violent crime risk is 1 in 490 per AreaVibes, property crime 1 in 116. The Round Valley Police Department also handles Eagar (4,395 residents) and highway traffic, which inflates Springerville’s counting base.
Law Enforcement Jurisdiction in Springerville
Springerville and Eagar operate under a joint Shared Services Intergovernmental Agreement funding the Round Valley Police Department, headquartered at 418 East Main Street, Springerville. Both towns share costs; Springerville manages operations. Chief Jacob Doyle has led the department since January 2026.
RVPD is the primary patrol agency inside both town limits. The department underwent a 2025 DPS policies-and-procedures review that identified procedural issues but no criminal findings.
The Apache County Sheriff’s Office holds concurrent jurisdiction over unincorporated areas immediately outside town limits… Holiday Park, South Fork, Greer, Nutrioso, and the Springerville Generating Station footprint. The Arizona Department of Public Safety patrols US-60, US-180, US-191, and the Coronado Trail. Three-agency overlap is standard for rural incorporated towns and ensures full Round Valley coverage.
Springerville Safety Snapshot
Headline CrimeGrade rating for Springerville town limits. Compare against the per-capita context above before drawing conclusions.
Per CrimeGrade neighborhood mapping, the west side of Springerville is the safest part of town. The south side along Main Street records the highest count (27 incidents per year) because retail corridors attract crimes of opportunity from through-traffic. The residential core… Coronado Acres, El Cajon Estates, Hillcrest, Springerville Townsite… records very low actual counts. Tangible cost of crime: $619 per resident per CrimeGrade.
Employers Behind Springerville Arizona Real Estate Demand
Springerville is anchored by two large employers (Springerville Generating Station and White Mountain Regional Medical Center) plus a tier of mid-size government, education, retail, and tourism jobs. The local economy is unusually diversified for a town of this size… power generation, healthcare, K-12 education, forest service, and tourism each contribute meaningful payrolls. For commuters, the Springerville Generating Station footprint sits 15 miles east of town off US-60. Most other employment is inside the Round Valley itself (Springerville plus Eagar) and reached in under 10 minutes.
Top employers within commuting distance
The Springerville Generating Station is the single largest economic anchor in Round Valley. The coal-to-gas conversion won unanimous Arizona Corporation Commission approval on March 4, 2026… Units 1 and 2 convert by 2030, Unit 4 by 2029. The repowering preserves the bulk of plant jobs and stabilizes the tax base for a decade.
White Mountain Regional Medical Center is the only hospital and Level 4 trauma center within a 100-mile radius. Beyond the two anchors, expect a working economy of ranching, forest service, education, retail, and tourism… not corporate office jobs.
Off-Market Springerville Arizona Real Estate With a Dedicated Realty Specialist
In a Springerville Arizona Real Estate market that closes one to four homes a month, the best inventory often trades before it ever lists. Estate sales, ranch splits, plant relocations, hospital transfers… these Springerville homes for sale move through broker relationships, not through the national portals.
We specialize in off-market Springerville homes, condos, villas, townhomes, businesses, and commercial properties. Active clients get notified within 60 seconds when off-market inventory surfaces through our private broker relationships. Not a subscription list. Not an email drip.

Why does a dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Springerville matter here more than anywhere? Because you get access to off-market homes, condos, businesses, and commercial real estate that never reach the national portals. A part-time agent working weekends does not have those broker relationships. That is the entire difference, and it is worth six figures on the wrong purchase.
The Springerville realty trade runs through a handful of local brokerages and a small circle of long-tenure brokers. The crowd refreshing the national portals at midnight sees what is left over. Ask any agent how many homes they closed in Springerville in the last 12 months. If they cannot answer in one sentence, you have your answer.
What your Springerville home actually sells for in today’s market.
Real comps from a full-time broker, not an automated online estimate. Back to you today. The founder previously produced over $30 million a month in closed sales at a Nebraska brokerage. Price it right the first time.

What Springerville Residents Say
Published reviews from Springerville Arizona Real Estate owners on Niche and other community-feedback platforms cluster around a few consistent themes… four real seasons, Springerville White Mountains real estate affordability, tight-knit community, and a sense of being far enough from urban Arizona to feel like a different state.
A small mountain town with a country feel… Springerville White Mountains real estate at its most honest. Great for families and friends who want four real seasons without the Phoenix prices.
We moved up from Phoenix after years of looking. Real winters, real summers without the 110 degree heat, and we still own our home outright at a price the Valley made impossible. The drive into town is short and quiet.
The school district was the deciding factor. Round Valley High School is rated A, the football stadium is unique in the country, and the kids walk to school. You do not get that combination in the Valley at this price point.
