This Peoria Arizona real estate report covers every number that moves a price in Peoria: closings, pending sales, inventory and time on market, for houses and for condos and townhomes. Whether you are browsing Peoria homes for sale, comparing Peoria condos for sale, or getting ready to sell, start here. The condo section below goes deeper.
| Latest month, single‑family | Year earlier | Latest | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median sale price | $529,500 | $515,000 | -2.7% |
| Average sale price | $600,395 | $594,996 | -0.9% |
| Closed sales | 226 | 182 | -19.5% |

| Months of supply | 3.8 | 4.0 | +5.3% |
The price-cut row includes condos and townhomes.
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 Peoria Arizona real estate: 2,005 homes closed at a $534,990 median, versus 1,923 at $530,000 a year earlier, so more homes have sold at a higher median than last year.
What it means for buyers
You have leverage, but it is real. Sellers still received 98.6% of asking, so build your offer from closed sales on your street, not from list prices. Your full-time Peoria buyer’s agent pulls those comps before every offer. In the latest month, 386 Peoria listings cut their price, up 0.5% from a year earlier, so start your search of Peoria homes for sale with those.
What it means for sellers
With pending sales down 49.5%, fewer buyers are writing offers, and pricing on day one decides your net. Start with a real price opinion for your Peoria home, then compare plans from a full-time listing agent in your zip. 386 Peoria listings cut their price in the latest month, up 0.5% from a year earlier; pricing right on day one keeps you off that list.
Peoria Arizona real estate stretches about 177 square miles and splits three ways: Old Town and the established neighborhoods of south Peoria, the 1990s to 2000s subdivisions near Loop 101 and the sports complex, and the newer master plans of north Peoria along Loop 303. Read the numbers below with that split in mind.
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. Compare a home with recent closings in the same community, because Old Town, Fletcher Heights and Vistancia each set their own price range, and have a dedicated buyer’s agent check the comps before you offer.
- Sellers: Homes are taking 76 days to sell and pending sales are down 49.5% from a year earlier, so use this Peoria AZ market report to set your list price from closed sales, then interview a full-time Peoria listing agent.
- New construction buyers: Builders selling in Peoria publish offers for select homes only; our incentives table shows which ones to ask about. Compare every Peoria new construction community on our Arizona new construction map and register with your own agent first.
- Condo buyers: Peoria condos for sale closed at a $297,500 median on 16 closed sales last month, a small sample, so compare unit by unit. Review the HOA budget and reserves before you offer.
- Out-of-state buyers: Ask your agent to film the drive from the home to Loop 101, Loop 303 or your employer at the hour you would make it, and to show you the nearest park, trail or HOA pool. Save your flight for the last 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 Peoria 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 Peoria Arizona real estate, closed sales fell 19.5% to 182 while new listings fell 7.5% to 283, and homes for sale were up 7.1% from a year earlier. The average sale price of $594,996 sits above the $515,000 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 Peoria Arizona real estate trend: single-family median sale price
The chart above tracks the Peoria Arizona real estate single-family median month by month.
Over the past 12 months, single-family medians in Peoria Arizona real estate ranged from $500,000 to $562,495, a $62,495 band. The latest month closed at $515,000, down from $525,000 the month before and 2.7% 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 Peoria AZ market report adds the newest closings to the line.
What a pricing mistake costs in Peoria
Peoria sellers received 98.6% of asking in the latest month, about $7,200 under list on a $515,000 home, before any concessions. Sellers who priced right closed in about 76 days; sellers who guessed are still sitting, cutting and handing leverage to the buyer. Buyers face the mirror image: overpay by 5% on a $515,000 home and you start $25,750 behind before your first payment. That is why we put a dedicated full-time local agent on every Peoria 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 Peoria Arizona real estate:
- Pricing against the wrong comps. A blended-ZIP median or a different subdivision is not your home’s market. Peoria sellers received 98.6% of asking in the latest month; misread the comps by 5% on a $515,000 home and that is $25,750.
- 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. 386 Peoria 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.

Peoria Arizona real estate: condos, townhomes and new construction
Peoria Arizona real estate splits into two very different buys: resale condos and townhomes, and new construction, where the builder’s rules decide who represents you. Here is the latest on each.
Peoria condos for sale: resale condos and townhomes, October 2026
The worry: Condo buyers search for average HOA fees in Arizona, but an average says little about one building. The fix: Ask for the HOA budget, reserve study and any special assessments before you offer; your condo agent requests them for you.
Peoria condos and townhomes closed at a $297,500 median on just 16 closed sales last month, with 5.3 months of supply. With a sample that small, one month’s median can swing widely, so we show the closed count beside it and read the 12-month line instead of one month’s change. Before you offer, have a condo specialist review the HOA budget and reserves.
Condo and townhome median sale price: 12-month trend
Line: median sale price. Bars: closed sales per month.
Our market data: Peoria condo and townhome closings, latest 12 months.
Shoppers comparing Peoria condos for sale should read the HOA as closely as the unit, and check rental rules and investor share, especially near the spring training district. Financing is the catch, because condo loan rules can sink a deal late, so read our guide to Arizona condo financing before you make an offer. We review the budget, reserve fund, rental rules and any special assessments. Selling a condo? Condo supply runs above houses right now, so presentation and price matter, and we position yours against the exact competing units in the same community.
Where Peoria condos and townhomes trade
| Area | Communities | Note |
|---|---|---|
| South Peoria (85345) | Ask us for the current communities in this area | Older condo and townhome communities near Old Town, Grand Avenue and Peoria Avenue, usually the lowest entry prices in the city. |
| Central Peoria (85381, 85382) | Ask us for the current communities in this area | Townhomes and condos near the Peoria Sports Complex, P83 and Loop 101. |
| North Peoria (85383) | Ask us for the current communities in this area | A small number of newer townhome communities near Lake Pleasant Parkway and Loop 303. |
Peoria condos for sale change week to week, so we share the current condo and townhome communities in each area on request.
Peoria new construction communities checked October 2026
Seven Peoria new construction communities were listed with a published base price on their builders’ own sites when we checked on October 11, 2026, from Saddleback Discovery Collection by Taylor Morrison (from $443,990) to Aloravita South Summit Collection by Taylor Morrison (from $875,990). 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saddleback Discovery Collection | Taylor Morrison | Peoria; ask us for the site | Single-family | From $443,990 |
| Saddleback Encore Collection | Taylor Morrison | Peoria; ask us for the site | Single-family | From $523,990 |
| Aloravita South Discovery Collection | Taylor Morrison | Peoria; ask us for the site | Single-family | From $595,990 |
| Aloravita | D.R. Horton | Peoria, 85383 | Single-family | From the $608s |
| Saddleback Passage Collection | Taylor Morrison | Peoria; ask us for the site | Single-family | From $639,990 |
| Meridian at Northpointe at Vistancia | David Weekley Homes | Peoria; ask us for the site | Single-family | From $758,990 |
| Aloravita South Summit Collection | Taylor Morrison | Peoria; ask us for the site | Single-family | From $875,990 |
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 Peoria 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| D.R. Horton | Aloravita | Ask us to confirm | Ask us |
| David Weekley Homes | Meridian at Northpointe at Vistancia | Ask us to confirm | Ask us |
| Taylor Morrison | Saddleback, Aloravita South | 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 Peoria new construction offers community by community and pushes back on lot premiums and upgrade pricing.
Never walk into a Peoria model home without your own agent
The sales agent in a Peoria 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 Peoria 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 $515,000; compare any base price with nearby resales once lot premiums and options are added. For more, read our Arizona new construction buyer guide.
Which cities near Peoria should buyers compare against?
Peoria sits in Maricopa County; compare Peoria Arizona real estate with every city in our Maricopa County guide. Times are approx. drive time from 83rd Avenue at Washington Street (Old Town Peoria), no traffic, by our routing to each city’s mapped center.
How Peoria compares with its neighbors
Many Peoria buyers also tour Glendale, Surprise, Sun City and north Phoenix before they decide, so we track each of those markets every month alongside Peoria Arizona real estate. South Peoria borders Glendale and Sun City, while north Peoria runs up Lake Pleasant Parkway toward the lake. 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. Peoria Arizona real estate ranges from Old Town ranch homes to new builds in Vistancia, so you can trade up or downsize without leaving the city.
Buying Peoria Arizona real estate this fall: a 5-step plan
Use these steps with the Peoria Arizona real estate data above; each one reflects how buying works in a city where 1970s ranch homes near Old Town sit a long drive from new master plans near Lake Pleasant.
- Set your number from closed sales, not list prices. Peoria sellers received 98.6% of asking in the latest month. On a $515,000 home that is about $7,200 of room, so build your offer around recent closings on your street.
- Pick the zip before the house. Peoria Arizona real estate prices vary from the older homes and condos of south Peoria to the newer, larger homes of north Peoria. Older homes and the lowest entry prices in the city sit in 85345, 1990s to 2000s subdivisions near Loop 101 fill 85381 and 85382, and the newest master plans and largest lots are in 85383.
- Target homes that have sat. With 76 days on market and pending sales down 49.5%, Peoria homes for sale that have sat for several weeks are where sellers listen. In north Peoria, a long listing often competes with nearby new builds, so we pull recent resale closings and builder prices in the same community before you offer.
- Check city limits, HOA rules and school boundaries. Peoria is served mainly by Peoria Unified and Deer Valley Unified school districts depending on the address, and some Peoria mailing addresses sit in Glendale, Sun City or unincorporated county areas. Ask whether the parcel is inside Peoria city limits, and whether Peoria Unified or Deer Valley Unified serves it, before you buy any Peoria Arizona real estate.
- Put a full-time agent on your side. Tell us whether you are looking in south, central or north Peoria, and a dedicated full-time Peoria buyer’s agent who tours that part of the city every week replies personally.
Selling Peoria Arizona real estate this fall: 4 pricing moves that work
Pricing Peoria Arizona real estate starts with your own part of the city, because buyers compare a north Peoria resale with new builds nearby and an Old Town home with the older homes around it.
- Price for today, not last spring. Over 12 months, the single-family median for Peoria Arizona real estate moved between $500,000 and $562,495. Price against recent closings of similar homes in your community first; in north Peoria, buyers can also tour new builds along Loop 303 the same weekend.
- Win the first two weeks. With 835 Peoria Arizona real estate listings and 101 pending, buyers compare everything. Show the yard, the view if you have one and the drive to the nearest park or trail in the first photos, and finish repairs before you list.
- Know your real competition. In south and central Peoria, resale houses compete with each other on updates and lot size. In north Peoria, resales also compete with builders offering new homes nearby, so price against the same community first.
- Negotiate the net, not the price. HOA transfer fees, repair credits and closing-cost concessions can move your net as much as the price, and a full-time Peoria listing agent negotiates each one before you sign.

Buying to rent or hold
Peoria draws rental demand from health care jobs, Luke Air Force Base and the spring training season, but HOA rental caps and city rental 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 Peoria: schools, city services and jobs
Schools, services and jobs shape Peoria Arizona real estate values as much as the sales data does.
Peoria is home to 200,881 residents, according to the U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2025 population estimate (linked in Peoria 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.

Grades are neutral public information and one of many factors a household may weigh. We do not recommend or discourage any area based on school data.
Peoria 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 Peoria, each with its own method: AreaVibes and FBI Crime Data Explorer. The FBI Crime Data Explorer counts offenses the Peoria Police Department reported; AreaVibes grades the city in its own way. A grade or a rate is not a promise about any street.
Peoria 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 Peoria
Incorporated Peoria is policed by the Peoria Police Department. Any unincorporated county island with a Peoria mailing address is served by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.
The Arizona DPS Highway Patrol patrols the state freeways through Peoria: Loop 101 (the Agua Fria Freeway), Loop 303 and US 60 (Grand Avenue). Fire and emergency medical service inside city limits comes from the Peoria Fire-Medical Department; the city covers about 177 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.
Major employers and commute times
Peoria’s job base centers on health care, education, retail and the city itself, with Luke Air Force Base to the southwest, Arrowhead and the Loop 101 corridor to the east, and the north Phoenix TSMC Arizona campus about a 32-minute drive away. Times below are approx. drive time, no traffic, from 83rd Avenue at Washington Street (Old Town Peoria), computed with the public OSRM road router to each employer’s main site in the area. Your rush-hour drive will be longer.
- City of Peoria 2 min, approx. drive time, no traffic
- Banner Boswell Medical Center 7 min, approx. drive time, no traffic

- TSMC Arizona 32 min, approx. drive time, no traffic
Before you write an offer on Peoria Arizona real estate, your agent pulls the tax history and checks the commute at the hours you actually drive.
Buying Peoria Arizona real estate from out of state
Peoria Arizona real estate draws movers who want room to build and access to Lake Pleasant, and many buy before they know how far north Peoria is from Old Town. The costly mistake is choosing a house before choosing the part of town, the HOA rules and the commute. Relocating to Peoria? 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: Old Town and south Peoria near Grand Avenue, central Peoria near the Sports Complex and Loop 101, or the newer master-planned communities of north Peoria. Then compare Peoria Arizona real estate listings with recent closings in the same community, not with list prices across town. Read our moving to Arizona guide for climate, costs and timing.
More Peoria Arizona real estate help from our team
Some Peoria Arizona real estate moves are more than one house: selling in south Peoria to buy in a north Peoria master plan, comparing a resale with a new build along Loop 303, or buying a short-term rental near the sports complex. Each request gets a dedicated full-time specialist, and sellers get a value check built on recent Peoria closings by a full-time agent. Seasonal buyers can compare Peoria condos for sale with single-family homes, HOA rules and rental limits here and in nearby Sun City and Surprise.
Buying or selling a Peoria 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 Peoria Arizona real estate matters in 2026
Peoria market drivers
These are the forces behind Peoria Arizona real estate prices this year.
- Major employers close in. The City of Peoria sits within about 2 minutes of Old Town Peoria, Banner Boswell Medical Center within about 7 minutes, and Banner Thunderbird Medical Center and the Abrazo Arrowhead Campus within about 13 minutes (approx. drive time, no traffic, by our routing; see employers and commute times).
- Spring training. The Peoria Sports Complex hosts the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners each spring, which brings short-term rental demand each spring; see Peoria events.
- Lake Pleasant. Lake Pleasant Regional Park, run by Maricopa County, sits at the north end of Peoria, with boating, camping and trails.
- Room to build in the north. Most new homes land in north Peoria along Loop 303 and Lake Pleasant Parkway, in communities such as Vistancia, Saddleback and Aloravita, while south Peoria is largely built out.
- Old Town events. The Peoria Holiday Festival fills Old Town each holiday season; see Peoria events.
- Population. Peoria had 200,881 residents in the U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2025 population estimate.
Moving to Peoria 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.
Peoria versus California. In this Peoria AZ market report, the single-family median sale price is $515,000. 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. Peoria has 200,881 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 Peoria buyer’s agent tours Peoria 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 Peoria.
The worry: One of the most searched questions about Peoria 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 Peoria Arizona real estate report
Every citywide number in this Peoria Arizona real estate report is our market data for Peoria, reported for single-family homes and for condos and townhomes separately. 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.
