Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate is one of the most distinctive and least-understood submarkets in the entire Phoenix metro, and August 2026 is the month buyers have been waiting for. Inside the 0.8-square-mile town limits, single-family inventory remains thin at 3 to 4 active listings, town-limit median list price sits near $518,000, and average days-on-market runs about 90. The wider 85283 zip code (heavily dominated by Tempe volume) shows a $495,000 median sale price, essentially flat year over year on 88 closed sales last month. Broader Tempe city softened 3 percent month over month and 3 percent year over year in August 2026, per the national portals… and Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate is being pulled in the same direction, though the fixed town boundary and mobile-home housing share insulate it partially. For buyers, this cooling is opportunity: urban-adjacent ownership within 2 miles of ASU and 7 miles of Sky Harbor at a price point well below most of the East Valley, with the strongest negotiating position of the year. For the town’s 5,272 residents, home values are holding better than the surrounding Tempe zips because supply is fixed.

Moving to Guadalupe from California, Washington, or Texas?
Moving to Guadalupe from another state? U.S. Census data shows 234,900 people relocated to Arizona from another state in a single recent year, and the ten largest origin states were California, Washington, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, New Mexico, and Utah. If you are relocating to Guadalupe from California, you are trading Prop 13 property tax reassessment and a $700 per square foot Bay Area or San Diego median for a $495,000 town-limit median and 5,272 neighbors in a walkable historic Yaqui-Mexican community 2 miles from ASU. If you are relocating from Washington or Illinois, the numbers that matter are Arizona’s absence of state estate tax and the sub-$300 per square foot pricing on updated Guadalupe homes for sale. Out-of-state buyers lose the most money in Guadalupe because they cannot see the streets, the block-level safety variation, the flight-path exposure from Sky Harbor arrivals, or the SRP canal wash that changes value block to block. A dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Guadalupe tours homes on video and sends off-market inventory before it reaches the national portals.

12-Month Rolling Median Sale Price
Rolling 12 months ending August 2026, 85283 zip median sale price. About 88 closings in August. Trend: peaked in November 2025 at $515,000, softened through Q1 2026, recovered April to June, and has been drifting sideways since. Year-over-year change: essentially flat.
Is Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate a Buyer’s or Seller’s Market in August 2026?
Buyer’s market, decisively. Every leading indicator moved in buyer’s favor between June and August. Broader Tempe city median list dropped 3 percent month over month and 3 percent year over year to $482,000. Zip 85283 sale-to-list ratio fell to 97.9 percent, meaning the average listing closes 2.1 percent below asking. Months of supply loosened from 3.5 in June to 4.2 in August at the zip level. An automated online estimate index covering Guadalupe (which includes mobile and manufactured homes) is down 7.0 percent year over year to $245,725. That is honest disclosure.
Here is what this means for a buyer looking at Guadalupe homes for sale right now: aim for sale-to-list under 97 percent, request closing concessions, negotiate hard on aging listings, and expect sellers to negotiate on repair credits and rate buydowns. Here is what it means for a seller: price aggressively to market at first listing or expect to sit 90+ days and take a price reduction. The dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Guadalupe understands the town-limit comp set (not the 85283 zip average dominated by Tempe volume) and prices accordingly. That distinction is worth six figures on the wrong purchase or the wrong listing.
Prices & Volume… August 2026
The most important truth about Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate pricing has not changed: the town occupies a tiny corner of zip code 85283, and almost every MLS-published statistic labeled “85283” is overwhelmingly Tempe inventory. Inside the actual town boundary in August, the median list price hovers near $518,000 across 3 to 4 active single-family listings. Average days on market for town-limit listings runs about 90 days, essentially flat versus the July reading, and reflects both the small buyer pool that specifically targets Guadalupe and the long-tail nature of inventory in a 0.8-square-mile town that does not turn over often.
At the broader 85283 zip level, the August 2026 cut closed at a $495,000 median sale price (up 3.1 percent year over year, essentially flat month over month from July’s $495,000 reading), with price per square foot at $282 (flat month over month), and 88 homes sold compared to 90 in July. Months of supply loosened from 3.5 in June to 4.2 in August. The honest read: broader Tempe city median is down 3 percent month over month per the national portals August data, 68 percent of Tempe listings took a price reduction during marketing in the trailing three-month window (Tempe city level, June-July), and Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate is being pulled by that broader cooling. The fixed town boundary and mobile-home housing share partially insulate the market. Sellers who priced aggressively at spring highs are seeing longer marketing times. Buyers who move now have their strongest negotiating position of the year.
By Zip Code
Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate is a single-zip market. Here is what that one zip looks like in August 2026:
- 85283 (Guadalupe / South Tempe): Median sale price $495,000… up 3.1 percent year over year, essentially flat month over month. Sold volume was 88 homes last month, average 65 days on market at the zip level, $282 per square foot. The zip spans Guadalupe (south of Baseline, east of I-10), most of South Tempe along Kyrene Road and Lakeshore Drive, and parts of southern Tempe near McClintock and Rural. Inside the Guadalupe town boundary specifically, expect 3 to 4 active listings at any given time, median list near $518,000, average DOM near 90 days, and $295 to $310 per square foot on listed inventory. The town subset remains a smaller fraction of total zip volume, so a generalist pulling MLS at the zip level will miss what Guadalupe is actually doing.
Guadalupe [Yaqui town] real estate: Neighborhoods & Subdivisions
Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate inventory is too small (0.8 square miles, single zip 85283, population 5,272) to support a multi-subdivision grid the way Chandler, Mesa, or Gilbert can. There is essentially one residential community here, defined not by master-planned tracts but by the streets, the plaza, and the cultural fabric that has held the town together since 1907. The grid layout reads Mexican more than American: Avenida del Yaqui runs the spine of the town north to south, intersecting Calle Guadalupe at the cultural and commercial heart, with Calle San Angelo, Calle Sahuaro, Calle Batoua, Calle Vauo Nawi, and dozens of other Yaqui- and Spanish-named streets feeding off either side.
Housing stock varies sharply by block. Closer to the plaza at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church (5445 E. Calle San Angelo) and the Santa Lucia Pascua Yaqui Temple, you will find older single-family adobe and stucco homes from the 1940s through 1970s on small lots, frequently owner-occupied within Yaqui and Mexican-American families that have lived in town for multiple generations. Moving outward toward Avenida del Yaqui and Calle Batoua, the inventory mixes detached single-family on larger lots with a meaningful share of mobile and manufactured homes… that mobile-home component is part of why town-wide price-per-square-foot reads lower than surrounding Tempe zips. Small subdivision plats exist on the recorded map (East Guadalupe Block 14, Solares Addition, Ranchitos Place, Gastello) but these are surveyor plat designations, not master-planned communities in the modern Valley sense. They are the legal subdivisions of record… not lifestyle brands.
The strongest argument for buying Guadalupe [Yaqui town] real estate is location plus cultural authenticity at a price point you cannot duplicate anywhere else inside the 101 loop. The strongest argument against is the limited inventory turnover, the higher reported crime profile (covered honestly in the Safety section below), and the lack of HOA-managed amenities. Buyers who fit this market understand the trade-off and value the community for what it is. Buyers who want amenitized master-plan living should look at Kyrene Corridor, South Tempe, or West Chandler.
All addresses verified inside Guadalupe town limits, zip 85283. Plat names referenced are recorded subdivisions of survey, not active developer-managed communities.
Are there Guadalupe AZ condos for sale in this submarket?
Short answer: no meaningful Guadalupe AZ condos for sale inventory exists inside the 0.8-square-mile town boundary. The housing stock is overwhelmingly single-family detached (older Yaqui-Mexican adobe and stucco, mid-century ranch, some newer infill), plus a meaningful share of mobile and manufactured homes, plus a small number of duplex and infill parcels. Guadalupe AZ condos for sale searches routinely turn up listings that are technically inside zip 85283 but sit across Baseline Road in South Tempe, which is a different market entirely. Buyers who specifically want Guadalupe AZ condos for sale need to look at adjacent South Tempe attached inventory (Kiwanis Park, The Lakes, Dava-Lakeshore), West Chandler condos, or Kyrene Corridor townhomes. The town itself has essentially no listed condo inventory, which is why generalist portal searches for “Guadalupe AZ condos for sale” return misleading results dominated by Tempe listings.
Off-Market Access in Guadalupe with a Dedicated Guadalupe Realty Specialist
Guadalupe realty transactions frequently start off-market and never reach the national portals. Multi-generational family homes get quiet-sold between neighbors and relatives. Estate properties transact before probate closes. Small commercial and mixed-use parcels along Avenida del Yaqui and Baseline Road change hands broker-to-broker. That is the reality of a 0.8-square-mile town with 5,272 residents and 3 to 4 active MLS listings at any given moment… the visible market is the smaller half of what is actually trading.
Access to that inventory does not come from a public search page or a scheduled email. It comes from a dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Guadalupe, working the broker relationships daily, and texting active clients personally within 60 seconds when inventory matching their criteria surfaces. This is one-to-one contact, not one-to-many. It requires that the client is actually engaged, has funding lined up, and knows exactly what they are looking for. The founder of Arizona Homes and Condos Realty previously produced over $30 million a month in closed sales at a Nebraska brokerage before building this firm in Arizona. That is the kind of production history that separates a Guadalupe realty specialist from a licensee waiting for their next referral. Consider this: nearly half of licensed agents closed ZERO deals last year. Ask any agent how many transactions they closed in Guadalupe or the 85283 zip in the last 12 months. If they cannot answer in one sentence, you have your answer.
What your Guadalupe home actually sells for in today’s market. Real comps from a full-time broker, not an automated online estimate.
Broader Tempe city median dropped 3 percent month over month and 3 percent year over year in August 2026, and 68 percent of Tempe listings took a price reduction during marketing in the trailing three months. Price it right the first time or expect to sit 90+ days and take a cut.

Safety & Crime in Guadalupe
Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate safety profile is one of the things that prospective buyers most need to understand honestly before they buy. Per CrimeGrade’s most recent data, Guadalupe carries an overall safety grade of D and ranks in the 19th percentile nationally for safety. Violent crime grades D-minus (12th percentile) and drug-related crime grades D-plus (29th percentile). The overall crime rate runs 38.65 incidents per 1,000 residents in a typical year, with the cost of crime per resident at $596 annually… about $131 above the national average and $143 above the Arizona state average. We share these numbers directly rather than soft-pedaling them, because buyers deserve honest disclosure when they are pricing a long-term decision.
Law Enforcement Jurisdiction in Guadalupe
Guadalupe is policed under a contract-jurisdiction framework that buyers and sellers should understand. The Town of Guadalupe has contracted with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) for primary law enforcement since July 1, 1990, after dissolving its own town police department. MCSO maintains a dedicated substation inside Guadalupe at 9241 S. Avenida del Yaqui (the same building that houses Town Hall and the Guadalupe Branch Library). The contract calls for one patrol beat staffed during day shift, two beats during evening shift, an assigned detective, supervision and support services, and a dedicated Community Police Deputy. The non-emergency MCSO dispatch line for Guadalupe is 602-876-1011, and 911 routes to MCSO for emergencies. The Arizona Department of Public Safety handles highway patrol on Interstate 10 along the town’s western edge. Fire and emergency medical services transitioned in October 2025 from the former Guadalupe Fire Department to Arizona Fire and Medical Authority under a new intergovernmental agreement.
Guadalupe Safety Snapshot
Honest disclosure: Guadalupe’s reported crime rates run above the U.S. and Arizona averages. The data below comes from CrimeGrade’s projected annual figures based on multi-year incident reporting inside the official town boundary.
CrimeGrade’s neighborhood-level analysis shows internal variation inside Guadalupe. The west and northwest portions of town, closer to I-10 and Baseline Road, tend to report lower per-resident incident rates than the southeast portion of town. Drug-related crime is concentrated more heavily in the southeast as well. None of these neighborhood-level differences make Guadalupe a high-crime city in absolute terms (this is a community of 5,272 people, so total incident counts are small), but the per-resident rates run above metro averages because the denominator is small and because the town has historically faced economic challenges that elevate property and quality-of-life offenses. Buyers should walk the specific block they are considering, talk to immediate neighbors, and weigh the cultural and price-point advantages against the safety data with eyes open.
Major Employers & Commute
Guadalupe’s location is the single most underrated piece of its real estate case. The town sits 2 miles south of Arizona State University’s Tempe campus, 7 miles southeast of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, and within a 20-minute drive of every major East Valley employment cluster. Buyers who work at ASU, Sky Harbor, the Tempe Town Lake employer cluster, or the South Mountain industrial corridor often find Guadalupe to be the closest affordable ownership option that exists.
Top employers within commuting distance
Two commute realities stand out. First, ASU and Sky Harbor are the two highest-volume daily destinations for Guadalupe residents, and both are reachable in under 15 minutes door-to-door under normal traffic. Second, I-10 access at Baseline Road puts Guadalupe inside the same commute envelope as Ahwatukee or South Tempe for any employer west of the airport, including downtown Phoenix, the Capitol complex, and the South Mountain industrial nodes. The Valley Metro Bus system (Routes 56 and 108) also runs directly through town, making this one of the few East Valley submarkets where car-free or single-car households are genuinely viable.
Upcoming events in Guadalupe: August 2026 through December 2026
Events across the East Valley affect short-term rental demand, hotel pricing, traffic, and out-of-state buyer visit timing. ASU football home games at Mountain America Stadium (about 3 miles north of Guadalupe) drive the strongest weekend inflow.

What Guadalupe Residents Say
These themes are drawn from public community reviews and resident commentary about Guadalupe. They reflect the consistent observations of long-tenured residents and recent buyers… not advertising language.
The cultural identity here is real. Easter ceremonies in the plaza, Día de los Muertos in November, the December feast for Our Lady… my family has been part of this town for four generations and we are not going anywhere.
We bought a small home off Calle Guadalupe in 2024 for $325,000 with no bidding war. Comparable square footage in Tempe was $500K+. I commute to ASU in 6 minutes. We love walking to the Mercado for breakfast on weekends.
This is not Tempe and people who buy here thinking it will be Tempe are going to be disappointed. It is its own town, with its own rhythm, and the people who fall in love with it understand that the rhythm is the whole point.
The car show in April is something you have to experience. The whole town shuts down for it. Twenty-five years running. The Mercado fills with lowriders and the kids run wild and the grandparents tell stories.
Why Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate Matters in 2026
Guadalupe is not a market that competes with Tempe or Chandler on amenities, schools, or master-planned polish. It competes on something those cities cannot offer at any price: authentic, living, multi-generational Yaqui and Mexican-American cultural identity inside metro Phoenix, 7 miles from Sky Harbor, 2 miles from ASU, and adjacent to South Mountain Park. That is a unique value proposition… and it is the reason this 0.8-square-mile town with 5,272 residents has held its identity for more than a century while every neighboring city expanded past it.
Key drivers supporting Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate include:
- Singular cultural identity… the only Yaqui-founded incorporated town in metro Phoenix, with 300-year-old Pascua Yaqui Lent and Easter ceremonies that still happen in the town plaza every year
- Sub-$525K entry price with softening broader Tempe giving buyers extra negotiating room… town-limit median list near $518,000 in August 2026, well below adjacent South Tempe. Broader Tempe city dropped 3 percent year over year in August
- Elite location for ASU and Sky Harbor commuters… 2 miles to ASU Tempe, 7 miles to Sky Harbor, 15 minutes to downtown Phoenix via I-10
- A-rated assigned high school… Marcos de Niza High School (ADE FY25 A grade, 81.33 points) anchors a Tempe Union HSD that holds an A district letter grade
- South Mountain Park 1 mile west… 16,000-acre municipal preserve with hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trails on the doorstep
- Mercado de Guadalupe commercial center… 22,000-square-foot open-plaza shopping district with authentic Mexican restaurants, retail, and the annual Guadalupe Car Show
- Public transit access… Valley Metro Routes 56 and 108 run through town, supporting single-car or car-free households
- Built-out boundary and fixed population… town size is permanently fixed at 0.8 square miles by I-10, Baseline Road, the SRP canal, and Tempe annexation lines. Population sits at 5,272 per Census 2020-2024 ACS, meaning long-term supply scarcity is built into the inventory
- Tempe Elementary B-rated district and Tempe Union A-rated district… per ADE FY25, both districts serving Guadalupe are accredited and rated
- Cultural events year-round… Easter ceremonies in the plaza (Lent through Easter Sunday), the Guadalupe Car Show (April), Día de los Muertos (November), and the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe (December)
- Founder credential… the founder of Arizona Homes and Condos Realty previously produced over $30 million a month in closed sales at a Nebraska brokerage before building this firm in Arizona
This is a strategic long-term demand market for a very specific buyer profile, not a speculative flip market. Buyers who succeed in Guadalupe are buyers who understand what they are buying: an authentic, walkable, culturally rooted town adjacent to one of the largest urban employment cores in the Southwest. Sellers who succeed in Guadalupe are sellers who price honestly, market patiently to the right buyer pool, and recognize that the inventory turns over slowly because residents tend to stay.
August 2026… Buyer & Seller Takeaways
- Buyers: Your leverage is the best it has been all year. Expect 3 to 4 active town-limit listings at any moment, median list near $518,000, average DOM near 90 days, broader Tempe cooling 3 percent month over month and 3 percent year over year, and 68 percent of Tempe listings taking price reductions during marketing (June-July window). Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate buyers should aim for sale-to-list under 97 percent, request closing concessions, and negotiate hard on aging listings.
- Sellers: The August cut shows zip-level YoY flat at +3.1 percent, months of supply loosened from 3.5 in June to 4.2 in August, and DOM elevated. Price aggressively to market or expect to sit. A dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Guadalupe, who prices off town-limit comps rather than 85283 zip averages dominated by Tempe, is essential right now.
- Schools-driven buyers: Tempe Union HSD is A-rated and Marcos de Niza is the assigned A-rated high school. Tempe Elementary is B-rated district-wide. Open-enrollment lottery access to Ward Traditional Academy (A grade, 94.27 points, 2025 Blue Ribbon School) is a meaningful option for families willing to apply.
- ASU commuters: No other ownership submarket in metro Phoenix combines sub-$525K pricing with sub-10-minute door-to-door commute to ASU Tempe. That is Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate’s single strongest demand thesis… and the summer cooling makes the entry math even more attractive.
- Investors: Cash flow math is improving as prices soften and rental demand from ASU staff and grad students stays firm heading into fall semester. Long-hold rental or owner-financed wholetail strategies fit the town’s pace better than fast resale.
- Out-of-state buyers: California, Washington, Texas, and Colorado buyers make up the majority of Arizona inbound migration. A dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Guadalupe tours homes on video and sends off-market inventory before it reaches the national portals.
- Safety honesty: Per CrimeGrade, Guadalupe’s overall grade is D and the violent crime grade is D-minus. Walk the specific block, talk to immediate neighbors, and weigh the cultural and price advantages against the data with eyes open.
Frequently Asked Questions
Inside the 0.8-square-mile Guadalupe town limits, August 2026 inventory remains thin with 3 to 4 active single-family listings and a town-limit median list price near $518,000. The broader 85283 zip code (mostly Tempe) closed at a $495,000 median sale price, essentially flat year over year on 88 homes sold last month. Broader Tempe city softened 3 percent month over month and 3 percent year over year to a $482,000 median list, per the national portals August data. Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate is being pulled in the same direction as broader Tempe, though the fixed town boundary and mobile-home housing share insulate it partially.
Buyer’s market, decisively. Broader Tempe city dropped 3 percent month over month and 3 percent year over year in August 2026, days on market stretched, and Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate is being pulled by that broader softening. Town-limit inventory remains thin at 3 to 4 active listings, so the market is not chaotic, but every trend indicator is moving in the buyer’s direction. Buyers should aim for sale-to-list under 97 percent, request closing concessions, and negotiate hard on aging listings. Sellers should price aggressively to market or expect to sit on the market.
Three-bedroom single-family homes inside Guadalupe town limits typically price from about $340,000 for older mid-century stock and homes with mobile-home history, up to about $525,000 for updated detached single-family with a functional lot. Recent town-limit sales include 8007 S Calle Maravilla at $389,000 in June 2026 (3 bed, 2 bath) and a 3-bed 2-bath 1,201 sqft home in the same window. Adjacent 85283 zip inventory in Tempe proper runs higher. Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate three-bedroom stock is the entry point for most buyers into this submarket.
Four-bedroom homes inside Guadalupe town limits are rare because the historic housing stock skews to 2 and 3 bedrooms on small lots. When 4-bedroom inventory does surface, expect a price band from about $450,000 for older stock up to $675,000 for updated detached homes with an owner-added addition or backyard casita. The broader 85283 zip has meaningful 4-bedroom volume in Tempe proper, but that inventory is not physically inside the Guadalupe town boundary.
Guadalupe is overwhelmingly a single-family detached and mobile-home market with a small number of duplex and small-lot infill properties. Guadalupe AZ condos for sale inventory does not meaningfully exist inside the 0.8-square-mile town boundary… no active condominium buildings, no HOA-managed townhome tracts. Buyers seeking Guadalupe AZ condos for sale in this part of the East Valley should focus on adjacent South Tempe, Kyrene Corridor, or West Chandler, where attached inventory is real.
Off-market Guadalupe homes for sale surface through private broker relationships, not through public search sites. When an owner in Guadalupe decides to sell, they often talk to a full-time local broker weeks before the property ever gets photographed for the market. A dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Guadalupe carries those relationships. Active clients get notified within 60 seconds when off-market Guadalupe homes for sale inventory surfaces. This is not a subscription list, not a weekly newsletter, not a scheduled delivery. It is a personal text from the broker to the client, one at a time, matching the client’s specific criteria.
Not typically. Broader Tempe softened 3 percent month over month and 3 percent year over year in August 2026, days on market are stretched, and Guadalupe homes for sale sit an average of 90 days at the town-limit level. Multiple offers happen occasionally on well-priced updated homes in the sub-$500,000 range because that price point pulls in ASU staff, Sky Harbor commuters, and grad students who cross-shop with Ahwatukee and South Tempe. Overpriced listings sit until the seller reduces. Ask any agent how many transactions they closed in Guadalupe or the 85283 zip in the last 12 months. If they cannot answer in one sentence, you have your answer.
Guadalupe [Yaqui town] real estate is unique for three reasons that cannot be replicated anywhere else in metro Phoenix. First, this is the only Yaqui-founded incorporated town in the Phoenix metro area, and it hosts 300-year-old Pascua Yaqui Lent and Easter ceremonies in the town plaza every year. Second, the town boundary is permanently fixed at 0.8 square miles by I-10 on the west, Baseline Road on the north, the SRP Highline Canal on the east, and Tempe annexation lines on the south, so long-term supply scarcity is built in. Third, it delivers sub-$525K entry pricing within 2 miles of ASU Tempe and 7 miles of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Guadalupe [Yaqui town] real estate is a strategic long-term demand market for a very specific buyer profile.
Guadalupe [Yaqui town] real estate is a distinct market from either Tempe or Chandler on price, character, and process. On price, Guadalupe town-limit median list runs about 7 percent higher than the broader 85283 zip median sale but 10 percent below adjacent South Tempe (85284). On character, Guadalupe carries authentic multi-generational Yaqui and Mexican-American cultural identity that neither Tempe proper nor Chandler can duplicate. On process, Guadalupe inventory turns over slowly, and MLS zip-level statistics are dominated by Tempe volume, so a generalist agent who treats Guadalupe like South Tempe will misprice the property. That is why buyers and sellers need a dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Guadalupe.
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. Consider this: nearly half of licensed agents closed ZERO deals last year. Ask any agent how many transactions they closed in Guadalupe or the 85283 zip in the last 12 months. If they cannot answer in one sentence, you have your answer. The founder of Arizona Homes and Condos Realty previously produced over $30 million a month in closed sales at a Nebraska brokerage. That is the kind of production history that separates a Guadalupe realty specialist from a licensee waiting for their next referral.
Off-market Guadalupe realty inventory that flows through private broker relationships includes multi-generational family homes where the owner is testing the water quietly, estate properties before probate closes and the family is ready to publicly list, and small commercial or mixed-use parcels along Avenida del Yaqui and Baseline Road. Active clients get notified within 60 seconds when inventory matching their criteria surfaces. This is not a subscription list, not an email drip, and not a scheduled weekly delivery. It is a dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Guadalupe texting the client personally when the property becomes real. That is Guadalupe realty done correctly.
Guadalupe is served by Tempe School District (K-8) and Tempe Union High School District (9-12). Per Arizona Department of Education FY25 A-F grades released April 15, 2026, Tempe School District holds a B district letter grade and Tempe Union High School District holds an A district letter grade. The town’s neighborhood elementary is Frank Elementary (B grade, 79.71 points), located at 8409 S. Avenida del Yaqui inside Guadalupe town limits. The assigned high school is Marcos de Niza High School (A grade, 81.33 points, perfect 10.00 graduation rate score) at 6000 S. Lakeshore Drive in Tempe. School zone assignments depend on the specific street address. Confirm boundaries directly with the districts before making an offer on Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate based on school enrollment.
Per CrimeGrade, Guadalupe carries an overall D safety grade and ranks in the 19th percentile nationally, with crime rates above the U.S. and Arizona averages. Violent crime grades D-minus. That is honest disclosure. Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate is still a real long-term investment because the town boundary is fixed at 0.8 square miles, cultural identity holds multi-generational demand, and the location within 2 miles of ASU and 7 miles of Sky Harbor produces durable rental cash flow. Law enforcement is contracted through the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office with a substation at Town Hall since July 1, 1990. Buyers should walk the specific block, talk to immediate neighbors, and weigh cultural and price-point advantages against the safety data with eyes open.
Guadalupe has an estimated population of 5,272 residents, per the U.S. Census Bureau 2020-2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates. That is a modest decline from the 2020 decennial Census count of 5,322 and reflects Guadalupe’s fixed 0.8-square-mile boundary, aging multi-generational housing stock, and inability to expand new residential capacity. The town has one of the highest population densities in metro Phoenix at 6,600 people per square mile, higher than Tempe city at 4,473 per square mile. For Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate, a fixed population and fixed boundary means long-term supply scarcity is built in.
Yes. Out-of-state buyers make up a meaningful share of Arizona inbound demand: U.S. Census data shows 234,900 people relocated to Arizona from another state in a recent year, with California, Washington, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, New Mexico, and Utah as the top ten origin states. A dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Guadalupe tours homes on video for out-of-state buyers, sends off-market inventory before the national portals ever list it, and knows the specific streets, HOA tiers, school boundaries, and flight-path exposure that change value block to block. Out-of-state buyers lose the most money in Guadalupe when they buy from a portal listing without local eyes on the property.

South of Baseline, the town has a small light-industrial commercial zone. The South Mountain Community College Guadalupe Center at 9233 S. Avenida del Yaqui provides educational anchoring.

Coverage area: Guadalupe Arizona Real Estate across zip code 85283, with town-limit boundaries (I-10 west, Baseline Road north, SRP Highline Canal east, Tempe annexation lines south) clearly distinguished from broader zip-level data dominated by Tempe inventory. Coverage is refreshed each month and is current as of the August 2026 monthly cut.
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 file released April 15, 2026). Crime data comes from CrimeGrade, AreaVibes, and FBI Uniform Crime Reports. Population figure of 5,272 is per U.S. Census Bureau 2020-2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates.
Price reduction rate denominator note: A zip-specific August 2026 price-reduction percentage for 85283 could not be independently verified at publication. The closest verifiable proxy is the June-July 2026 Tempe city-level figure of 68 percent of listings taking at least one price reduction during marketing, denominator being active Tempe city listings. Guadalupe town-limit sample is too small to compute a reliable independent figure. The August snapshot omits the price-cut stat card rather than estimate, per V2.1 methodology rules.
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.
