The off-market Tusayan 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!
$1.17M median. 110 to 145 days on market. Population 561. Deeded fee-simple inventory averages fewer than 10 closings per year.
Not an automated list. Not an email drip. A dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Tusayan texting you personally when inventory matching your criteria surfaces, FAST.
Off-market access begins when you become a client. That means a signed written representation agreement first. Compensation is negotiable and disclosed in writing before you see a single property.
The Tusayan Arizona Real Estate market is one of the smallest, most supply-constrained markets in the state… and one of the most unusual. In August 2026, active deeded single-family inventory typically runs between 1 and 3 listings, with asking prices clustered in the $1.10M to $1.28M range… the fourth consecutive month of modest softening from the May peak. Tusayan Arizona Real Estate is surrounded on all sides by Kaibab National Forest, served by a single arterial (SR-64), and has 561 residents (Census Bureau July 2024 estimate) living in 144 acres of incorporated land.
August marks the tail of Grand Canyon peak visitor season and the peak of the North Arizona monsoon window… afternoon thunderstorms sweep the Kaibab Plateau daily, which continues to temper wildfire risk that peaked in the pre-monsoon June cycle. Park visitation is running strong, putting sustained upward pressure on workforce housing demand but leaving the deeded resale market where it was in July. If you are exploring Tusayan Arizona Real Estate as a primary residence, a Park-adjacent second home, an investment, or an employer-housing solution, you need a specialist who actually understands how this market clears… most months it doesn’t.
Our team tracks every deeded 86023 transaction so you hear about it first. Half of licensed agents close zero deals a year… they cannot help you here because they lack the broker relationships that make Tusayan Arizona Real Estate transactions happen.
Moving to Tusayan from California, Washington, or Texas?
Moving to Tusayan Coconino County real estate from another state? U.S. Census Bureau data shows 234,900 people relocated to Arizona from another state in a single year. The ten largest origin states were California, Washington, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, New Mexico, and Utah.
If you are relocating to Grand Canyon gateway homes from California, you are trading Bay Area or LA-adjacent property tax reassessment and $900/sq ft coastal pricing for a $1.17M Tusayan median in a 561-neighbor gateway town at 6,746 feet. If you are relocating from Washington or Illinois, the numbers that matter are Arizona’s lack of state estate tax and near-zero snow load on Tusayan roofs.
Out-of-state buyers lose the most money in Tusayan because they cannot see wildland-urban interface exposure or parcel water rights block-to-block. A dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Tusayan tours on video, verifies insurance qualifications, and sends off-market Tusayan homes for sale before they reach the national portals.

Under 10 closings in the rolling 12 months ending August 2026. Trend: modest softening for four consecutive months from the May peak of $1.28M. YoY comparison difficult given sub-10 annual volume. Ranges reflect actual asking data; single transactions materially move headline figures in this market.
Prices & Volume… August 2026
Tusayan homes for sale… asking price context
Tusayan Arizona Real Estate does not behave like a normal city market. There are not enough monthly Tusayan Arizona Real Estate transactions to produce statistically reliable medians. What we publish here are ranges that reflect actual active inventory and the last several closed comparables through August 2026.
The highest active asking price on record for deeded Tusayan homes for sale in 86023 was $1.28M, and the lowest was $1.10M. Average listing square footage continues to run well above the Coconino County average (3,100 to 3,600 square feet) because the few deeded homes tend to be larger custom-built residences rather than tract product.
Transaction volume remains the bigger story for Tusayan Arizona Real Estate than any median. Tusayan Coconino County real estate typically sees fewer than ten deeded SFR closings in a full trailing twelve-month window, and the August 2026 cut continues that pattern with no meaningful acceleration. Months of supply, calculated normally, becomes meaningless in this market… a single closing can swing the math from 24 months of supply to 12 months overnight.
Tusayan Arizona Real Estate sale-to-list has softened to 92-95 percent in August (from 94-97 in May), because every transaction here is negotiated. DOM has stretched to 110-145 days for properties that transact. Properties that don’t fit the narrow use-case profile now sit 145+ days or quietly relist at reduced prices.
By Zip Code
Tusayan uses a single ZIP code, 86023. That same ZIP also covers Grand Canyon Village inside the National Park, which means national portal searches by ZIP often surface non-Tusayan properties… employee housing or NPS-controlled parcels inside the Park itself… that are not actually purchasable on the open market. When you work with a dedicated full-time agent on Tusayan homes for sale, the first filter is always “deeded fee-simple ownership inside the Town of Tusayan boundaries”… not “anything tagged 86023.”
- 86023 (Tusayan + Grand Canyon Village): Single ZIP code covering the incorporated Town of Tusayan plus federal lands inside Grand Canyon National Park. Deeded private inventory exists only inside the Town limits and on two large private inholdings (Kotzin Ranch and Ten-X Ranch) adjacent to the town.
Grand Canyon gateway homes: Tusayan Neighborhoods & Subdivisions
Tusayan homes for sale do not fit traditional named-subdivision patterns. With only 144 acres of incorporated land, no master-planned community has ever been platted. Residential stock breaks down by housing type and ownership. Search by named subdivision does not apply the way it does in Scottsdale or Chandler.
Anyone considering Tusayan Arizona Real Estate must understand the three-bucket inventory. Bucket one is deeded fee-simple housing on private parcels inside the town boundary… the handful of single-family Tusayan homes for sale that occasionally appear on the open market. This bucket is the entire retail market on this page.
Bucket two is workforce and employer-controlled housing… the dominant share of stock. Most residents working for Xanterra, Delaware North, the hotels, restaurants, and the Park live in employer-controlled units tied to employment. The Town operates its own Housing Authority and developed Ten X Ranch as a long-term workforce solution.
Bucket three is the two private inholdings owned by Stilo Development Group… the Kotzin Ranch (about 160 acres) and the Ten-X Ranch (about 195 acres). These have been rezoned for potential commercial and residential development but require Forest Service easements through Kaibab National Forest that have been pending for years and remain controversial. Nothing is actively building on those inholdings today.
If you are searching for “Tusayan subdivisions” or “Tusayan gated communities” on a national portal, you are likely getting redirected results… including listings for an unrelated patio-home community called Tusayan inside Troon Village in Scottsdale, which is 200 miles south and has no relationship to the Town of Tusayan. Verify before you tour.
Tusayan is bordered on all sides by Kaibab National Forest. No annexation expansion is possible without Forest Service action. This is one of the most physically constrained municipal footprints in Arizona.

▶Coconino County Real Estate Guide◀Schools & School Districts
Per Arizona Department of Education FY25 A-F Letter Grades (released April 15, 2026), most Tusayan Coconino County real estate is served by Grand Canyon Unified District, which earned a B district letter grade. A sliver falls into Williams Unified District (A district letter grade). Tusayan families have access to two ADE-rated districts depending on parcel location.
Tusayan Coconino County real estate school context: Grand Canyon Unified District, B-Rated
Grand Canyon Unified is one of Arizona’s smallest unified districts, with two schools serving Tusayan and Grand Canyon Village. Both posted B grades in ADE FY25. Grand Canyon Elementary earned 74.88 of 100 points (B). Grand Canyon High earned 65.89 of 90 (B). Very small class sizes, place-based Park integration, federal Impact Aid funding.
Williams Unified District… A-Rated District
A small portion of the Tusayan planning area boundary touches Williams Unified District, located 60 miles south on SR-64. Williams Unified earned an A district letter grade in ADE FY25, with Williams Elementary/Middle School posting 83.21 total points (A grade) and Williams High School posting 65.37 total points (B grade) plus a perfect 10.0 graduation rate score. Williams is the higher-rated district of the two but is only accessible to a minority of Tusayan addresses.
Grand Canyon Elementary
Per ADE FY25 official data, Grand Canyon Elementary earned a B letter grade with 74.88 total points earned of 100 eligible. The school serves K-8 students from both Tusayan and Grand Canyon Village and offers a uniquely small-cohort learning environment with direct National Park integration.
K-8 model B grade 74.88 ptsGrand Canyon High School
Per ADE FY25 official data, Grand Canyon High School earned a B letter grade with 65.89 total points earned of 90 eligible, including a perfect 10.0 graduation rate score and 17.6 CCRI college and career readiness points. One of the smallest high schools in Arizona by enrollment.
9-12 model B grade 65.89 ptsWilliams Elementary/Middle
Per ADE FY25 official data, Williams Elementary/Middle School earned an A letter grade with 83.21 total points earned of 100 eligible. Available only to the Tusayan-area parcels that fall inside the Williams Unified attendance boundary.
K-8 model A grade 83.21 ptsWilliams High School
Per ADE FY25 official data, Williams High School earned a B letter grade with 65.37 total points earned of 90 eligible, with a perfect 10.0 graduation rate score. Serves the Tusayan-area parcels assigned to Williams Unified rather than Grand Canyon Unified.
9-12 model B grade 65.37 ptsAlways verify school assignment by parcel address. Boundary lines between Grand Canyon Unified and Williams Unified are not intuitive in this area, and a small distance difference can change district assignment.
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. Third-party aggregators (Niche, GreatSchools, SchoolGrade) are secondary references only and do not override official ADE grades.
Safety & Crime in Tusayan
Tusayan has low resident-on-resident crime but heavy seasonal tourist traffic… over 4.7 million Grand Canyon National Park visitors pass the South Entrance annually, and most stay, dine, or fuel up in Tusayan. Profile: low residential crime, visitor-tied property crime and DUI activity, and Park-adjacent search-and-rescue overflow.
Law Enforcement Jurisdiction in Tusayan
Tusayan is policed under a multi-agency framework that buyers and sellers should understand clearly. Tusayan is incorporated but does not operate its own municipal police department. Primary patrol coverage is provided by the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office, Williams Patrol District, which maintains a substation in Tusayan and is responsible for the town along with the Grand Canyon area. The Sheriff’s main office is at 911 E. Sawmill Road, Flagstaff, AZ 86001.
Inside the adjacent Grand Canyon National Park boundary, National Park Service law enforcement rangers hold primary jurisdiction… a distinction that matters because the Park boundary is 1 mile north of town and many incidents straddle that line. The Arizona Department of Public Safety provides highway patrol coverage on State Route 64 (the main north-south arterial to and from Tusayan) and US-180 south of Valle. This multi-agency overlap is normal for unincorporated and lightly-incorporated communities bordering federal lands.
Tusayan Safety Snapshot
Overall crime is low for a community that hosts millions of tourist visits annually, and resident-on-resident crime is well below the national average. The bulk of incidents are visitor-related… vehicle break-ins at trailheads, alcohol-related calls at lodges, and minor traffic enforcement on SR-64.
Resident safety in Tusayan is materially better than the visitor-pattern statistics suggest. Year-round residents know each other, the town is physically small enough to walk end-to-end, and the Coconino County Sheriff substation maintains a consistent presence. Wildfire risk is a genuine underwriting consideration… Tusayan is surrounded entirely by Kaibab National Forest and sits in a zone identified as having severe wildland-urban interface exposure. Buyers should specifically review defensible space, building setbacks, and any insurance carrier surcharges for wildland interface. Some carriers have non-renewed or capped Northern Arizona forest-adjacent policies in recent cycles.
Major Employers & Commute
Tusayan’s economy runs almost entirely on Grand Canyon tourism. There is no manufacturing, no university, no major medical center, and no corporate headquarters within commuting distance. Almost every working-age resident is employed by a Park concessionaire, a hotel or restaurant in town, the National Park Service itself, or the airport. This single-sector dependency is the central economic reality of Tusayan Arizona Real Estate.
Top employers driving Tusayan realty demand
Commuting any meaningful distance is not realistic from Tusayan. The nearest population center is Williams (about 60 miles south via SR-64, an hour each way in good weather), and Flagstaff (80 miles south via US-180, about 90 minutes). Winter conditions on SR-64 and US-180 can extend those times substantially. Tusayan residents work in Tusayan or in Grand Canyon National Park… full stop. For buyers, the economic case for owning here is either Park-adjacent lifestyle, short-term-rental income strategy aligned with Park visitation, or workforce-housing investment serving employer demand.
Upcoming Events in Tusayan and the Grand Canyon Corridor: August 2026 through December 2026
Because Tusayan is a small gateway town of 561 residents, this list widens to include verified events at Grand Canyon National Park (1 mile north) that affect Tusayan Arizona Real Estate buyer visits and Flagstaff (the nearest metro, 80 miles south)… the practical corridor buyers, sellers, and second-home owners actually engage with. Every date verified against the official host source below.

Event traffic on SR-64 and US-180 materially affects both hotel occupancy in Tusayan and drive times for buyers touring inventory. If you are planning a Tusayan property visit, avoid Labor Day weekend and the September 17 fee-free day for lower crowd density.
What Tusayan Residents Say
Published Tusayan realty community reviews consistently name three upsides (tight-knit community, safety, South Rim proximity) and three trade-offs (housing crisis, isolation, limited services) that shape every Tusayan Arizona Real Estate decision.
This is the smallest, tightest community I have ever lived in. Everyone knows everyone. The Grand Canyon is literally a short drive away and that never gets old. The trade-off is real… if you want a hospital, a Target, or a Starbucks that isn’t inside a hotel, you are driving an hour minimum.
The housing situation here is the real story. Most of us live in employer-owned units. If you change jobs or retire, you lose your housing. That is why owning a deeded home in Tusayan, if you can find one, is such a different conversation than buying anywhere else in Arizona.
The school here is small but the teachers are deeply invested and the connection to the National Park is something my kids will not get anywhere else. Class sizes are tiny. The downside is the lack of extracurricular depth that a bigger town offers.
If you love wide skies, ponderosa pines, and being a half day’s drive from city noise, this is the place. Summer is bearable because we sit at 6,600 feet. Winter is real winter with snow on the road. You have to want this lifestyle. It is not for everybody.
Why Tusayan Arizona Real Estate Matters in 2026
Tusayan is one of the most physically supply-locked housing markets in the entire state, and that scarcity is the central thesis for anyone considering a purchase here. The town will not get bigger without Forest Service action that has been stalled for years. The economic engine driving demand for Grand Canyon gateway homes has demonstrated unusual recession-resistance, drawing 4.7 million visitors annually even after pandemic disruption. And the underlying housing imbalance, where 87 percent of 561 residents live in employer-controlled units, creates a permanent buyer pool for any deeded home that does come to market.
Key drivers supporting Tusayan Arizona Real Estate include:
- Supply lock… 144 incorporated acres surrounded entirely by Kaibab National Forest. Tusayan cannot grow horizontally without federal action.
- Visitation engine… Grand Canyon South Rim hosts 90 percent of the 4 to 5 million annual park visitors. That demand does not diminish.
- Workforce housing shortage… an officially acknowledged crisis. The Town runs its own Housing Authority and built the Ten X Ranch project to address it.
- Federal employee base… NPS, USFS, and concession workers underpin a stable, year-round demand for housing not tied to tourism volatility.
- Short-term rental opportunity… for owners willing to operate within local rules, the Grand Canyon visitor stream is one of Arizona’s most reliable.
- Elevation advantage… at 6,746 feet, Tusayan stays cool when Phoenix is at 115. That seasonality matters to second-home buyers.
- Federal Impact Aid… funds Grand Canyon Unified, helping maintain B-rated schools in a Tusayan realty market of 561 residents.
- Strategic transit access… Grand Canyon National Park Airport handles regional traffic in town, with helicopter and fixed-wing tour operations based there.
- Stilo inholdings… two large private parcels (Kotzin Ranch and Ten-X Ranch) sit ready for potential future development if Forest Service easements are granted.
- Permanent gateway identity… Tusayan is the only incorporated town at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. There is no substitute location for Grand Canyon gateway homes.
Tusayan is not a flip market. It is a scarcity-asset hold with a clear use case… Park-adjacent residence, workforce-housing investment, or gateway premium. If that is your plan, our team monitors every deeded Tusayan Arizona Real Estate transaction in 86023 the day it hits the market.

August 2026… Buyer & Seller Takeaways
- Buyers: Active deeded Tusayan homes for sale inventory sits between 1 and 3 listings, with prices clustered $1.10M to $1.28M. The four-month softening trend (May $1.28M median… August $1.17M) has opened the most meaningful negotiation leverage since December. If a property fits your use case, August is materially more buyer-friendly than any prior month YTD.
- Sellers: Softening continues. Sale-to-list is now 92 to 95 percent, down from 94 to 97 percent in May. DOM has stretched from 85 to 120 days in May to 110 to 145 days in August. Overpriced listings are now getting reduced or relisted. Pricing realistically the first time matters more here than in any other Arizona market.
- Investors: Workforce housing demand is the structural story and does not change with seasonality. Any deeded long-term-rental asset has near-certain tenant demand. Short-term rental operators must verify Town and HOA rules carefully before purchase, especially with the Town actively considering tighter STR restrictions.
- Second-home buyers: Tusayan at 6,746 feet runs 20 to 30 degrees cooler than Phoenix in August. Park visitation is peaking and the September fee-free day and Celebration of Art bring elevated traffic on SR-64. Time your property visits accordingly.
- School-driven moves: ADE FY25 confirms B-rated Grand Canyon Unified District schools. Williams Unified A-rated district touches a small portion of the planning area. Verify by parcel.
- Risk to underwrite: Single-sector economic dependency (Park tourism), monsoon-season flash flood exposure on select parcels, wildland-urban interface wildfire risk still active on the Kaibab Plateau, and limited services. Build these into decision math.
Frequently Asked Questions About Tusayan Arizona Real Estate
Tusayan Arizona Real Estate median list price sits in the $1.10M to $1.28M range in August 2026, with an $1.17M point estimate based on active inventory and the most recent comparable closings. Volume is extremely thin… typically 1 to 3 active single-family listings at any given time, so single transactions move the headline number sharply.
Tusayan is a specialty supply-locked market that behaves like a seller’s market on scarcity but is now leaning buyer-friendly on negotiation. Median has softened three months running (May $1.28M… July $1.19M… August $1.17M). Sale-to-list has drifted from 94 to 97 percent in May to 92 to 95 percent in August. Days on market have stretched from 85 to 145. If you have a specific use case that fits Tusayan, August is more buyer-friendly than any prior month this year.
Three-bedroom deeded homes in Tusayan when they surface typically list in the $1.05M to $1.20M range, reflecting elevated per-square-foot pricing driven by extreme land scarcity and the Grand Canyon gateway premium. Verified 3BR comparable sales are limited to a handful of transactions per year.
Four-bedroom deeded homes in Tusayan trade in the $1.20M to $1.35M range when available. Given the town’s 144 acres of incorporated land and the fact that most housing is employer-controlled workforce inventory, 4BR deeded listings are exceedingly rare and typically custom-built residences.
Tusayan has no functioning condo or townhome resale market for Grand Canyon gateway homes. Multi-family inventory in Tusayan is overwhelmingly employer-owned workforce housing that does not transact on the open market. Buyers seeking attached Grand Canyon gateway homes have no meaningful Tusayan options and should consider Flagstaff or Williams.
The most reliable way to find Tusayan homes for sale before national portals list them is a direct working relationship with a dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Tusayan. With only 1 to 3 active listings at any moment and fewer than ten deeded transactions per year, off-market Tusayan homes for sale typically surface through broker-to-broker relationships weeks before the national search portals ever list them. Active clients get an immediate personal text when inventory surfaces.
Tusayan homes for sale rarely see competitive multiple-offer dynamics because the buyer pool is tiny and highly specialized. Every Tusayan transaction is a negotiated event between a motivated seller and a specific-use-case buyer… not a bidding war. Sale-to-list ratios of 92 to 95 percent in August 2026 reflect that reality. If you are a buyer expecting valley-market bidding pressure, Tusayan is a different game entirely.
Tusayan Coconino County real estate is defined by three structural facts. First, 144 acres of incorporated land surrounded entirely by Kaibab National Forest… horizontal growth is not possible without federal action. Second, 87 percent of residents live in employer-controlled workforce housing tied to Grand Canyon National Park concessions, hotels, and tour operators. Third, deeded fee-simple SFR inventory averages fewer than ten transactions per year. No other Coconino County market operates on these constraints.
Tusayan Coconino County real estate carries a meaningful Grand Canyon scarcity premium relative to Williams (60 miles south on SR-64) and Flagstaff (80 miles south on US-180). Both Williams and Flagstaff offer substantially more deeded inventory at lower price points. Tusayan Coconino County real estate is only worth its premium when the use case requires daily South Rim access or year-round Park-adjacent residence. If a one-hour drive to the Canyon is acceptable, Williams and Flagstaff win on inventory and value.
You should use a dedicated Tusayan realty full-time agent/broker because you get access to off-market Tusayan realty inventory, deeded property, and gateway-town commercial real estate that never reaches the national portals. A part-time agent working weekends does not have those broker relationships in a market with fewer than ten annual deeded closings. That access is worth six figures on the wrong purchase. Nearly half of licensed agents closed ZERO deals last year… in a specialty market like Tusayan, that gap matters more than anywhere else.
Off-market Tusayan realty inventory access is an internal service for active clients… it is not an automated list, a mass-signup service, or a scheduled weekly delivery. When off-market inventory surfaces through private broker relationships, active Tusayan realty clients get an immediate personal text via personal phone or text from a dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Tusayan. That signature on a written representation agreement is the difference between seeing these homes and reading about them later.
Most Tusayan Arizona Real Estate parcels are served by Grand Canyon Unified District (Arizona Department of Education FY25 district letter grade B), which operates Grand Canyon Elementary (B, 74.88 points earned) and Grand Canyon High School (B, 65.89 points earned). A small portion of the planning area falls into Williams Unified District (ADE FY25 district letter grade A). Verify assignment by parcel address.
Tusayan Arizona Real Estate sits in a small gateway tourist town with low resident-on-resident crime but heavy seasonal visitor traffic. Law enforcement is provided primarily by the Coconino County Sheriff Williams District (with a substation in Tusayan), plus National Park Service rangers covering the adjacent Grand Canyon National Park, and Arizona DPS covering SR-64 and US-180. Wildland-urban interface wildfire exposure is a real underwriting consideration.
Tusayan has 561 residents according to the U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program, July 1, 2024 vintage. The town has been in slow population decline since its 2020 Census figure of 603, driven primarily by workforce housing constraints… available deeded housing simply cannot keep up with employer demand. That structural imbalance is the central driver of deeded resale scarcity.
Yes. We routinely work with out-of-state buyers relocating to Arizona from California, Washington, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, New Mexico, and Utah. Because Tusayan Arizona Real Estate inventory is so thin and turns over so infrequently, out-of-state buyers absolutely need on-the-ground representation.

Resources
Tusayan Business & Commercial Real Estate
Tusayan’s commercial market is materially more active than the Tusayan Arizona Real Estate residential market. The town is a hospitality and tourism cluster… hotels, restaurants, retail, helicopter tours, IMAX, gas stations, and concession services. Commercial parcels and businesses transact more frequently than deeded SFR. Tusayan business acquisitions need representation that understands the federal-adjacent regulatory and water-rights environment.
For commercial transactions and business sales, you need specialists… not residential agents handling commercial deals on the side. Here’s what’s actually moving in this market right now:
Hospitality Cap Rates 7.5 to 9.5% → Recent trades | Retail Lease Rates $28 to $42 NNN → Annual range | Land Sale Range Limited → Very tight supply | Hotel Trades Periodic → 1,100 keys in town |
Active Listings Under 5 → Commercial total | Anchor Asset 1,100 rooms → Hotel keys in town | Operator Profile Major brands → Plus independents | Market Type Specialty hospitality → Gateway corridor |
Buying or Selling a Tusayan Business?

We have dedicated full-time business agents/brokers that specialize in Arizona business transactions and know how to value, market, and close gateway-town businesses at maximum value… with complete confidentiality from first conversation through closing day.
▶Talk to a Business Broker◀Buying or Selling a Tusayan Commercial Building?
Thinking about acquiring or selling a Tusayan commercial building? Hotels, retail pads, and tour-operator real estate change hands in this market, and the underwriting is materially different from valley commercial because of water rights, federal-land adjacency, and Town development restrictions. We have dedicated full-time commercial real estate agents/brokers that specialize in Tusayan. Don’t trust commercial property to a residential agent who handles it occasionally.

Public records, Town of Tusayan planning documents, Housing Authority disclosures, and Kaibab National Forest easement filings inform pipeline figures.
Population source: 561 residents per the U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program, July 1, 2024 vintage. The 2020 decennial Census reported 603. Trend is slow decline.
Tusayan Coconino County real estate school ratings: Drawn from the Arizona Department of Education FY25 A-F Letter Grades release (April 15, 2026). Niche, GreatSchools, and SchoolGrade used as secondary references only.
Safety and crime: Coconino County Sheriff’s Office, National Park Service, AreaVibes, and federal data sources.
Price cut percentage methodology gap: The V2.1 spec calls for reporting the percent of active listings that took a price reduction. With Tusayan running 1 to 3 active listings at a time, the denominator is too small to produce a meaningful percentage (a single reduction registers as either 33 percent, 50 percent, or 100 percent). We omit the metric this cycle rather than publish a figure that materially misrepresents the market. Reader-facing urgency uses the four-month median softening trend instead.
Update cadence: This report is rebuilt monthly. Reported figures reflect the most recent complete monthly cut available at publication.
Author: Compiled by Arizona Homes and Condos Realty. The founder previously produced over $30 million a month in closed sales at a Nebraska brokerage. We intentionally do not list properties on this site… Arizona’s market changes too fast for static listing pages to remain accurate, and Tusayan in particular needs real-time monitoring rather than archived listings.
If you are a buyer, a dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Tusayan starts working immediately… on-market AND off-market Tusayan homes for sale. If you are a seller, a local listing agent reaches out personally to position your Tusayan realty listing for maximum outcome.
