The worry: Sellers often ask how much it costs to sell a house in Arizona, and the list price alone does not answer it. The fix: Your net depends on price, concessions and closing costs, so get a written price opinion and a net sheet from a full-time listing agent.
Year to date in Goodyear Arizona real estate: 1,574 homes closed at a $479,345 median, versus 1,644 at $475,647 a year earlier, so fewer homes have sold at a higher median than last year.
What it means for buyers
You have leverage, but it is narrow. Sellers still received 98.6% of asking, so build your offer from closed sales on your street, not from list prices. Your full-time Goodyear buyer’s agent pulls those comps before every offer. In the latest month, 302 Goodyear listings cut their price, up 31.3% from a year earlier, so start your search of Goodyear homes for sale with those.
What it means for sellers
With pending sales down 27.7%, fewer buyers are writing offers, and pricing on day one decides your net. Start with a real price opinion for your Goodyear home, then compare plans from a full-time listing agent in your zip. 302 Goodyear listings cut their price in the latest month, up 31.3% from a year earlier; pricing right on day one keeps you off that list.
Here is what the October 2026 Goodyear Arizona real estate numbers mean for your next move.
October 2026 Buyer & Seller Takeaways
- Buyers: Base every offer on recent closed comps rather than asking prices: sellers took 98.6% of list in the latest month. Start with the homes that have been listed longest, and have a dedicated buyer’s agent check the comps before you offer.
- Sellers: Homes are taking 72 days to sell and pending sales are down 27.7% from a year earlier, so use this Goodyear AZ market report to set your list price from closed sales, then interview a full-time Goodyear listing agent.
- New construction buyers: 2 builder offers that apply to Goodyear communities are confirmed in our incentives table, most tied to the builder’s in-house loan program. Compare every Goodyear new construction community on our Arizona new construction map and register with your own agent first.
- Out-of-state buyers: Get a dedicated agent touring Goodyear homes for sale on video before you fly in. We walk the street, the HOA and the commute for you on a live call, so your trip is for the final two or three homes.
The worry: Buyers and sellers both search who pays closing costs in Arizona. The fix: The purchase contract decides it, and seller concessions can shift costs, so ask for an estimated settlement statement before you sign; a full-time listing agent or buyer’s agent negotiates those terms.
How to read this Goodyear AZ market report
Months of supply is how long current listings would last at today’s sales pace; under 3 favors sellers, 3 to 6 is balanced. Pending sales are homes under contract, the earliest sign of where closings go next. Share of list price shows how much room buyers are negotiating. Read the three together before you set a price or write an offer.
What else moved this month
Across Goodyear Arizona real estate, closed sales fell 13.8% to 156 while new listings fell 11.3% to 228, and homes for sale were up 4.7% from a year earlier. The average sale price of $505,806 sits above the $460,000 median because higher-priced homes pull the average up, so the typical home costs closer to the median than the headline average suggests.
12-month Goodyear Arizona real estate trend: single-family median sale price
The chart above tracks the Goodyear Arizona real estate single-family median month by month.
Over the past 12 months, single-family medians in Goodyear Arizona real estate ranged from $460,000 to $486,425, a $26,425 band. The latest month closed at $460,000, down from $474,990 the month before and 5.2% below the same month a year earlier. Month-to-month medians move with the mix of homes that close, so read the line, not one point. Each month this Goodyear AZ market report adds the newest closings to the line.
What a pricing mistake costs in Goodyear
Goodyear sellers received 98.6% of asking in the latest month, about $6,400 under list on a $460,000 home, before any concessions. Sellers who priced right closed in about 72 days; sellers who guessed are still sitting, cutting and handing leverage to the buyer. Buyers face the mirror image: overpay by 5% on a $460,000 home and you start $23,000 behind before your first payment. That is why we put a dedicated full-time local agent on every Goodyear Arizona real estate move.
DON’T make a $100,000 mistake and hire a part-time or out-of-area agent.
Here is how that mistake happens with Goodyear Arizona real estate:
- Pricing against the wrong comps. A blended-ZIP median or a different subdivision is not your home’s market. Goodyear sellers received 98.6% of asking in the latest month; misread the comps by 5% on a $460,000 home and that is $23,000.
- Missing an HOA, floodplain or airport issue. HOA rules, a mapped floodplain or an airport noise or flight-path area can change a home’s value. Check any address on the Flood Control District of Maricopa County floodplain page before you are under contract, and have your agent pull the official airport disclosure maps.
- Losing negotiation leverage. 302 Goodyear listings cut their price in the latest month. Seller concessions and builder incentives are negotiated, and a weak first offer or counter can leave thousands on the table.
- Registering with a builder alone. Giving a builder your name on the first model visit, before you have your own new construction agent, can forfeit your own representation.
Work with a dedicated full-time local agent: a full-time buyer’s agent if you are buying, or a full-time seller’s agent if you are selling.

Goodyear Arizona real estate: new construction
Goodyear new construction communities checked October 2026
Six Goodyear new construction communities were listed with a published base price on their builders’ own sites when we checked on October 11, 2026, from CantaMia at Estrella 55+ by Taylor Morrison (from $284,990) to Las Ventanas – RV Collection by Mattamy Homes (from $630,990). Builders change prices and phases often, so ask us which homes and lots are available in the area you want. Compare them on the statewide new construction subdivisions map, and have a new construction buyer’s agent register you before your first model visit.
| Community | Builder | Address or area | Type | From (base price) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CantaMia at Estrella 55+ | Taylor Morrison | Goodyear; ask us for the site | Single-family, 55+ | From $284,990 |
| Ventana de Estrellas Enclaves | KB Home | Goodyear; ask us for the site | Single-family | From $358,990 |
| El Cidro | D.R. Horton | Goodyear, 85338 | Single-family | From the $425s |
| Las Ventanas | Mattamy Homes | Goodyear; ask us for the site | Single-family | From $449,990 |
| Camerano at Abel Ranch | Tri Pointe Homes | Goodyear; ask us for the site | Single-family | From the mid $500s |
| Las Ventanas – RV Collection | Mattamy Homes | Goodyear; ask us for the site | Single-family | From $630,990 |
The worry: New-build buyers search Arizona closing costs for buyers, and builder incentives are often tied to those costs. The fix: Compare each incentive in writing against the base price and lot premium with your own new construction agent, registered before your first visit.
Remember: never give a builder your name or register at the sales office before you have your own agent, or in most cases you lose the chance to have independent representation. Contact Arizona Homes and Condos Realty to be represented by a dedicated full-time new construction agent who represents only YOU, not the builder.
“From” prices are the lowest base price each builder published on its own site on October 11, 2026. They exclude lot premiums, options, upgrades and incentives, and they change often. Where a builder publishes only a range such as “from the $600s,” we show its wording.
Builder incentives checked October 2026
These are the Goodyear new construction offers builders published on their own websites when we checked, including metro-wide offers from builders selling here. Most apply only to select quick move-in homes and only when you finance with the builder’s in-house loan program, so read each offer in full. Compare them with every community on our Arizona new construction subdivisions map, and get your own new construction agent before your first model visit, as the reminder above explains.
| Builder | Community | Offer | Ends |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mattamy Homes | Las Ventanas, Las Ventanas – RV and other Phoenix metro select homes | 2/1 temporary buydown: 3.99% in year 1, 4.99% in year 2, then 5.99% (6.327% APR conventional). The low rates last only 2 years. Requires the builder’s in-house loan program; close by the builder’s published deadline; limited pool of funds. | Contract by October 31, 2026 |
| Tri Pointe Homes | Camerano at Abel Ranch and other Phoenix metro select homes | Conventional 30-year fixed permanent buydown to 5.49% (5.955% APR) on select to-be-built homes. List-price purchases only; requires the builder’s in-house loan program; close by the builder’s published deadline; any unused incentive is forfeited. | Contract by October 31, 2026 |
| D.R. Horton | El Cidro | Ask us to confirm | Ask us |
| KB Home | Ventana de Estrellas Enclaves | Ask us to confirm | Ask us |
| Taylor Morrison | CantaMia at Estrella 55+ | Ask us to confirm | Ask us |
Offers come from each builder’s own website. They change often, many have limited funds, and all are subject to the builder’s terms and loan approval. “Ask us to confirm” means the builder publishes an offer for select homes but does not say whether this community qualifies. We remove an offer once its end date passes. Compare the APR, not the headline rate.
How to read builder incentives
- Rate buydown. The builder pays to lower your interest rate. A permanent buydown lowers the rate for the life of the loan. A temporary buydown (such as a 2/1) lowers it for only a year or two, then your payment rises. An adjustable-rate offer is fixed only for its first few years.
- Points baked into the rate. A low advertised rate is often bought with discount points. When the builder pays them, they come out of money that could have cut the price; when you pay them, they show up in your closing costs. The APR captures the points, which is why it is the better number to compare.
- Closing-cost credit. A dollar amount the builder puts toward your loan and title costs at closing. It cannot be taken as cash, and loan programs cap how much a seller can contribute.
- Price cut. A lower sale price lowers your loan, your down payment and your property taxes for as long as you own the home.
- The in-house loan catch. Almost every rate and credit above requires the builder’s in-house loan program. Builders state that their loan program is optional, but if you use your own loan officer you usually lose the incentive. Get a quote on the same home from an independent loan officer so you can see whether the “free” incentive is being paid for in the price or the loan terms.
Your own agent compares these Goodyear new construction offers community by community and pushes back on lot premiums and upgrade pricing.
Never walk into a Goodyear model home without your own agent
The sales agent in a Goodyear new construction model is paid by the builder and represents the builder, not you. That friendly guest register can quietly decide who represents you, and many builders will not let you add your own agent after your first visit or first sign-in.
The other version: your own full-time agent registers you before you set foot in the model, compares that builder’s incentives with every Goodyear new-build community above, pushes back on lot premiums and upgrade markups, and arranges independent inspections before the drywall goes up. Our fee on new construction is typically paid by the builder. In the latest month the citywide single-family median was $460,000; compare any base price with nearby resales once lot premiums and options are added.

How Goodyear compares with its neighbors
Many Goodyear buyers also tour Avondale, Litchfield Park, Buckeye and Surprise before they decide, so we track each of those markets every month alongside Goodyear Arizona real estate. North Goodyear borders Litchfield Park and Avondale near Interstate 10, while Estrella runs south toward the mountains. Many buyers pick a part of the city for the commute first and the house second.
Selling in one Valley city and buying in another? Timing both sides is where movers lose money. One full-time agent can line up your sale and purchase so you are not carrying two mortgages or rushing into the wrong home. Goodyear Arizona real estate ranges from golf homes in Palm Valley to new builds in Estrella, so you can trade up or downsize without leaving the city.
Buying Goodyear Arizona real estate this fall: a 5-step plan
This plan turns the Goodyear Arizona real estate data above into steps for your purchase.
- Set your number from closed sales, not list prices. Goodyear sellers received 98.6% of asking in the latest month. On a $460,000 home that is about $6,400 of room, so build your offer around recent closings on your street.
- Pick the zip before the house. Goodyear Arizona real estate prices vary from older homes near the original town site to newer, larger homes in Palm Valley and Estrella. Narrow your search to the area that fits your commute and budget.
- Target homes that have sat. With 72 days on market and pending sales down 27.7%, Goodyear homes for sale that have sat for several weeks are where sellers listen. Our team flags those listings the day they cross that line.
- Check city limits, HOA rules and school boundaries. Goodyear is served by several school districts depending on the address, including Litchfield, Avondale and Liberty elementary districts and Agua Fria Union and Buckeye Union high school districts, and some Goodyear mailing addresses sit in unincorporated county areas. These details change taxes, police, fire and schools for any Goodyear Arizona real estate purchase.
- Put a full-time agent on your side. Tell us your goal in 60 seconds with the form below, and a dedicated full-time Goodyear buyer’s agent who works your part of the city gets back to you.
Selling Goodyear Arizona real estate this fall: 4 pricing moves that work
These moves turn the Goodyear Arizona real estate data above into a pricing plan for your sale.
- Price for today, not last spring. Over 12 months, the single-family median for Goodyear Arizona real estate moved between $460,000 and $486,425. Pricing above what recent closings support invites price cuts. We price from recent closings near you, not from online estimates.
- Win the first two weeks. With 662 Goodyear Arizona real estate listings and 107 pending, buyers compare everything. Photos, repairs and price need to be right on day one.
- Know your real competition. North of Interstate 10, resale houses compete with each other on updates, lot size and golf or HOA amenities. In Estrella and south Goodyear, resales also compete with builders offering new homes and incentives nearby, so price against the same community first.
- Negotiate the net, not the price. Concessions can matter as much as the sale price, and a full-time Goodyear listing agent protects the number you actually walk away with.
Goodyear Arizona real estate: seasonal ownership and 55+ communities
Seasonal ownership and 55+ communities
Goodyear has age-restricted options in PebbleCreek and CantaMia at Estrella, a distinct slice of Goodyear Arizona real estate, with golf, recreation centers and single-level homes. Ask us which HOAs suit seasonal owners, and compare 55+ options in nearby Sun City and Sun City West. If you’re relocating, see our Arizona relocation guide.
Buying to rent or hold
Goodyear draws rental demand from Luke Air Force Base, the medical campuses and the spring training season, but HOA rental caps and age rules matter, so check them first. Before you buy a rental, confirm the HOA rental rules and city licensing for the exact address. Already own one? We offer $99-a-month flat-fee property management, and we help investors plan an Arizona 1031 exchange inside the 45-day and 180-day windows.

Living in Goodyear: schools, city services and jobs
Schools, services and jobs shape Goodyear Arizona real estate values as much as the sales data does.
Goodyear is home to 125,359 residents, according to the U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2025 population estimate (linked in Goodyear market drivers).

The worry: Buyers search Arizona school grades, then learn that the closest school is not always the one assigned to an address. The fix: Use the FY2025 grades below as a starting point and confirm the attendance boundary with the district; your buyer’s agent checks it for the exact address.

Goodyear crime data and police coverage: October 2026
The worry: A common search is which Arizona city has the lowest crime rate, but city rankings mix different sources and methods. The fix: Read the sourced figures below side by side and look up the exact address; a local buyer’s agent can tour the street with you at different hours.
2 public sources cover crime in Goodyear, each with its own method: AreaVibes and FBI Crime Data Explorer. The FBI Crime Data Explorer counts offenses the Goodyear Police Department reported; AreaVibes grades the city in its own way. A grade or a rate is not a promise about any street.
Goodyear crime by source, side by side
Each source measures crime differently, so read each column on its own terms rather than against the others.

Crime figures checked October 11, 2026. Per-resident rates read higher around retail and commercial blocks, where few people live. Look up any specific address yourself before you decide.
Law enforcement jurisdiction in Goodyear
Incorporated Goodyear is policed by the Goodyear Police Department, organized into a Patrol Division within its Field Operations Bureau, working around the clock in staggered squads (see the official patrol area page). Any unincorporated county island with a Goodyear mailing address is served by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.
The Arizona DPS Highway Patrol patrols the state freeways through Goodyear: Interstate 10 and Loop 303. Fire and emergency medical service inside city limits comes from the Goodyear Fire Department; the city covers about 191 square miles of land, per the Census Bureau gazetteer. Ask your agent whether an address is inside city limits, because it changes police, fire and tax bills.
Cost of emergency services: the City of Goodyear FY 2026/27 (FY2027) final budget, Resolution 2026-2525, Auditor General Schedule F sets $79,215,400 for Police and $100,261,500 for Fire (department totals, all funds). Divided by Goodyear’s 125,359 residents (Census estimate, linked in Goodyear market drivers), that is $631.91 per resident for police, $799.79 for fire and medical, and $1,431.70 combined. This per-resident figure is our calculation from those two sources, checked October 2026.
Major employers and commute times
Goodyear’s job base centers on health care, manufacturing and logistics along the Interstate 10 and Loop 303 corridors, the city itself and Luke Air Force Base to the north.

Before you write an offer on Goodyear Arizona real estate, your agent pulls the tax history and checks the commute at the hours you actually drive.
Buying Goodyear Arizona real estate from out of state
Many buyers of Goodyear Arizona real estate are relocating from colder or pricier states. The biggest mistake we see is buying from a photo without knowing the street, the HOA or the commute. Relocating to Goodyear? A local buyer’s agent can tour homes for you on live video and tell you what the listing photos leave out, before you fly in.
Start with the part of the city that fits your life: Palm Valley and north Goodyear near the Civic Square, central Goodyear near the ballpark, or the master-planned communities of Estrella. Then compare Goodyear Arizona real estate listings against real closings, not list prices. Read our moving to Arizona guide for climate, costs and timing.
More Goodyear Arizona real estate help from our team
Not every Goodyear Arizona real estate move is a simple house purchase, and each request below gets a dedicated full-time specialist. If you are selling, you get real comps from a full-time agent, not an automated online estimate. Seasonal buyers can compare Goodyear homes with single-family homes, HOA rules and rental limits here and in nearby Litchfield Park and Avondale.
Buying or selling a Goodyear business, with or without the real estate? We work with full-time business brokers who value, market and close with complete confidentiality. Retail, office, industrial, flex and multifamily belong with a full-time commercial agent, not a residential agent who handles one occasionally. For land and acreage, we check zoning, water, utilities and access before you commit, so a great price doesn’t become an unbuildable parcel.

Why Goodyear Arizona real estate matters in 2026
Goodyear market drivers
These are the forces behind Goodyear Arizona real estate prices this year.
- Major employers close in. The City of Goodyear sits at the Civic Square, Abrazo West Campus and City of Hope Phoenix within about 7 minutes, and Estrella Mountain Community College within about 8 minutes (approx. drive time, no traffic, by our routing; see employers and commute times).
- Spring training. The city-owned Goodyear Ballpark is the spring home of the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Guardians, which brings short-term rental demand each spring; see Goodyear events.
- Jobs along Interstate 10. Manufacturing, distribution and medical employers along Interstate 10 and Loop 303 keep commutes short for many Goodyear residents.
- Estrella Mountain. Estrella Mountain Regional Park, run by Maricopa County, borders south Goodyear, with trails and open desert.
- Room to build. Most new homes land in Estrella and south of Interstate 10, where several builders are active, which keeps resale sellers competing with new construction.
- Population. Goodyear had 125,359 residents in the U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2025 population estimate.
Moving to Goodyear from California, Washington or Texas?
The Census Bureau’s latest State-to-State Migration Flows: 2024, Table 1 (American Community Survey 1-year estimates) counts 52,383 people (±6,890) living in Arizona who lived in California a year earlier, the most from any state, followed by Washington (17,601, ±3,256) and Texas (10,306, ±2,404). These are survey estimates for 2024 with margins of error.
Goodyear versus California. In this Goodyear AZ market report, the single-family median sale price is $460,000. For California, the Census Bureau’s QuickFacts lists a median value of owner-occupied housing units of $734,700 (2020-2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimate); that is an owner-reported value, a different measure from a sale price. Goodyear has 125,359 residents, against 39,355,309 for California in the same Census Vintage 2025 estimates.
Retirement income. Arizona does not tax Social Security retirement benefits; the Arizona Department of Revenue lists them among income Arizona law does not tax.
Buying from out of state. A dedicated full-time Goodyear buyer’s agent tours Goodyear Arizona real estate listings for you on live video and checks what listing photos leave out: whether a street sits in an airport noise or flight-path area, whether a lot backs onto a wash or sits in a mapped floodplain (look up any address on the Flood Control District of Maricopa County floodplain page), what the HOA rules allow, and which school district serves the address, since district lines and city lines differ in Goodyear.
The worry: One of the most searched questions about Goodyear is whether it is a good place to live, and no ranking answers that for one property. The fix: Weigh the price, school, crime and drive-time data on this page, then read our moving to Arizona guide.

How we build this Goodyear Arizona real estate report
We rebuild this Goodyear Arizona real estate report every month from the latest closings.
Every citywide number in this Goodyear Arizona real estate report is our market data for Goodyear, reported for single-family homes. Zip-level figures return once the current month’s zip data is complete; we do not show older zip numbers next to newer citywide data. We never publish a number we cannot verify; when a figure is not available, such as a monthly new construction series or price per square foot, we leave it out instead of guessing. Builder prices come from each builder’s own site and change often, and event dates were checked on official sites. We refresh this report every month.
