Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate Market Report — August 2026
Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate is the most supply-constrained golf and red-rock submarket in the Verde Valley… 5,983 residents (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 Census, Big Park CDP), 25 named subdivisions, 2,300 homes, three golf courses, and zero new construction. If you are shopping Village of Oak Creek homes for sale in August 2026, here is the picture in one breath: median $581,000, average $768,000, 64 days on market, 3.4 months of supply, Market Action Index at 33.
Two pain scenarios define this market right now. The buyer who waited since spring watched the Market Action Index climb from 28.7 to 33 and inventory shrink from 102 actives to 74… the leverage window closed. The seller who priced off a 2022 comp is sitting past 200 days while correctly priced neighbors clear in 22. Both mistakes are six-figure mistakes in a market this thin.
The off-market Village of Oak Creek 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!
$581,000 median. 64 days on market. 74 active listings and falling. Market Action Index 33… seller zone.
Goes straight to a dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Village of Oak Creek. Personal reply, FAST. No auto-drips. Not a subscription list. Not an email drip. A dedicated human texting you personally when inventory matching your criteria surfaces.
Off-market inventory goes to clients, not to leads. Becoming a client takes a signed written representation agreement with compensation negotiable and disclosed in writing. That signature is the difference between seeing these homes and reading about them later.
Moving to Village of Oak Creek from California, Washington, or Texas?
Census data shows 234,900 people relocated to Arizona from another state in a single 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 Village of Oak Creek from California, you are trading coastal price-per-square-foot and property tax reassessment for a $581,000 median and 5,983 neighbors. From Washington or Illinois, the number that matters is zero state tax on Social Security and a 300-day sunshine calendar.
Out-of-state buyers lose the most money in Village of Oak Creek because they cannot see the VOCA-versus-independent HOA line, the STR restriction, or the wash easement that changes value block to block. A dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Village of Oak Creek tours on video and sends off-market inventory before it reaches the national portals.

Is Village of Oak Creek a Buyer’s or Seller’s Market in August 2026?
Seller’s market, and August made it decisive for Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate. The single-family median moved to $581,000, months of supply compressed from 3.9 to 3.4, and the Market Action Index climbed from 32 to 33 per the August 5 Altos weekly read. Inventory absorbed another 14 units to sit at 74 actives. Every metric that matters is moving in the seller’s direction.
The average sale price printed $768,000, down 3.9% year over year per the latest published zip-level data… a mix effect, not weakness. Fewer $1.3 million-plus closings hit the tape in August than in July, while the core $500,000 to $800,000 band accelerated. Village of Oak Creek homes for sale in that core band are the fastest-moving inventory in the entire Verde Valley right now.
Volume held at 20 closings, still running ahead of the August 2025 comparable. Days on market compressed to 64… the fastest monthly read since 2024. Any Village of Oak Creek Arizona real estate listing that meets the buyer checklist (red-rock view, fresh systems, clear STR rules at the HOA) is clearing inside 22 days at 96.3% of list.
The divergence with Sedona proper keeps widening. Sedona 86336 went formally buyer-favorable in July with 5.2 months of supply and a $1,220,000 median… while the Village tightened to 3.4 months. That spread is pushing priced-out Sedona buyers seven miles south down SR-179 every single week, and it is the reason Village of Oak Creek realty activity is outrunning every neighboring market this quarter.
What do 3 bedroom and 4 bedroom Village of Oak Creek homes for sale cost?
The 3-bedroom core of the market… Pinon Woods, Bell Rock Vista, Oak Creek Country Club interior lots… is trading between $520,000 and $740,000 depending on view protection and remodel level. The 4-bedroom tier, concentrated in Firecliff, Pine Valley, and Sedona Golf Resort custom sections, trades between $780,000 and $1,400,000. View premium runs $90,000 to $160,000 for protected Bell Rock or Courthouse Butte sightlines at either bedroom count.
Which Zip Code Covers Village of Oak Creek Homes for Sale?
Big Park Real Estate… One Zip, Three HOA Regimes
Every search for Village of Oak Creek homes for sale runs through a single mailing zip (86351), shared with the Big Park CDP and a small slice of Pine Valley at the end of Jacks Canyon Road. Because there is only one zip, internal segmentation comes from subdivision boundaries and HOA jurisdiction (VOCA-governed versus non-VOCA, gated versus open, golf-fronting versus interior lot), not from zip splits.
- 86351 (Village of Oak Creek / Big Park / Pine Valley): Village of Oak Creek homes for sale carry a median sale price of $581,000… average $768,000, 74 actives, 64-day average DOM, 3.4 months of supply (seller zone, MAI 33). The single zip masks two very different Big Park real estate submarkets… VOCA-member subdivisions versus independent HOAs (Firecliff, Sedona Golf Resort, Canyon Mesa, Pinon Woods, La Barranca) versus the Pine Valley POA at the far end of Jacks Canyon.
Which Village of Oak Creek Neighborhoods Fit Your Life?
Village of Oak Creek Arizona real estate is a Home Owners Association of 2,300 homes spread across 25 named subdivisions, all sitting on the south-of-Sedona side of SR-179 inside Yavapai County… the footprint that county records file as Big Park real estate. The character splits cleanly into three categories… gated golf-course communities (Sedona Golf Resort, Oak Creek Country Club, Canyon Mesa), VOCA-governed view subdivisions (Bell Rock Vista, Cathedral View, Ridgeview, Pine Creek), and independent custom-home enclaves (Firecliff, Pine Valley, La Barranca, Pinon Woods).
Where you buy inside those three regimes decides what your Village of Oak Creek homes for sale search actually costs in dues, STR rights, and resale. Every subdivision card below has been verified through MLS address sampling, master HOA records, and Yavapai County GIS, and all addresses confirm to Sedona, AZ 86351 inside Big Park CDP boundaries.

Village of Oak Creek’s Neighboring Cities & Surrounding Markets
Village of Oak Creek Arizona real estate sits within Yavapai County… at the south end of the Verde Valley along the SR-179 corridor between I-17 and Sedona. The Village shares a buyer pool with the rest of the Verde Valley (Sedona, Cottonwood, Jerome) and with the adjacent Prescott Area and Flagstaff/Northern Arizona markets. These are the closest published market reports for cross-shopping.
Explore All of Yavapai County Real Estate
Yavapai County covers the Verde Valley, the Prescott Area, and most of Northern Arizona’s wine and red-rock country. The Village of Oak Creek is one of its most distinctive submarkets, but the broader county includes Sedona, Cottonwood, Jerome, Clarkdale, Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and Camp Verde… each with different price points and market dynamics.
▶Yavapai County Real Estate Guide◀Which Schools Serve Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate Buyers?
Schools are one of the most-researched factors for Village of Oak Creek Arizona real estate buyers… particularly relocating families and grandparents who want quality K-12 within reach when grandchildren visit. Village students are served primarily by Sedona-Oak Creek Joint Unified School District #9 (SOCSD), which earned a B district grade per the Arizona Department of Education FY25 A-F Letter Grades (released April 15, 2026). A slice of southern Village students fall under the Cottonwood-Oak Creek Elementary District, also a B district grade.
Important context for buyers: the on-campus elementary inside the Village (Big Park Community School, on West Saddlehorn Road) was closed by the SOCSD board in 2018 due to declining enrollment, and the district has formally moved to divest the 20.8-acre property after a 75% voter approval in November 2024. Current Village students bus to West Sedona for K-6 and to Sedona Red Rock for 7-12.
Sedona-Oak Creek JUSD #9… the B-Rated District Behind Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate
SOCSD operates the two schools that Village students actually attend… West Sedona Elementary School and Sedona Red Rock Junior/Senior High School… and per ADE FY25 data, both currently hold B letter grades. West Sedona Elementary posted 80.09 total points on the K-8 framework, anchoring the district grade. Sedona Red Rock Jr/Sr HS scored 72.29 on the K-8 framework and 76.78 on the 9-12 framework.
The district is small by Arizona standards… three schools, 800 students… and parents who prioritize community-scale schools rate that as a feature, not a flaw.
Cottonwood-Oak Creek Elementary District… B-Rated District
A small slice of the Village’s southern boundary feeds into Cottonwood-Oak Creek Elementary District, particularly along the I-17/SR-179 junction. The district earned a B LEA grade across its five schools, with Mountain View Preparatory School (an A-rated K-8) representing the standout performer. Buyers shopping the Village should confirm the school feed for any specific address… boundary lines do not perfectly follow zip-code lines in this submarket.
West Sedona Elementary School
Per ADE FY25 official data, West Sedona Elementary earned a B letter grade with 80.09 total points on the K-8 framework. This is the primary feeder elementary for nearly all Village of Oak Creek K-6 students after Big Park Community School closed in 2018. Located at 570 Posse Ground Road in West Sedona, with district bus service from VOC.
B GRADE 80.09 PTS K-6Sedona Red Rock Junior/Senior High School
Per ADE FY25 official data, Sedona Red Rock earned a B letter grade as a hybrid 7-12 campus, with 72.29 total points on the K-8 framework and 76.78 total points on the 9-12 framework. This is the sole secondary school serving Village of Oak Creek families. Athletic programs include tackle football (added FY26), and the campus hosts the Sedona Performing Arts Center.
B GRADE 76.78 HS PTS 7-12Mountain View Preparatory School
Per ADE FY25 official data, Mountain View Preparatory earned the highest rating in the Cottonwood-Oak Creek district with an A letter grade. The school sits 25 minutes south of the Village in Cottonwood and serves as the standout K-8 option for VOC families willing to commute or for families whose specific address falls inside the Cottonwood-Oak Creek feeder zone.
A GRADE COE DISTRICT K-8Sedona Charter School
Per ADE FY25 official data, Sedona Charter School earned a B LEA grade as a standalone charter LEA. Montessori-method instruction, a long-running alternative to SOCSD’s traditional track, and a frequent landing spot for Village families wanting a smaller campus footprint. Located in West Sedona, about 12 minutes from the Village.
B GRADE MONTESSORI CHARTER K-8Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate buyers shopping a specific address should confirm the assigned school feed directly with the Sedona-Oak Creek Joint Unified School District office before making a final offer. School boundary lines in this submarket do not follow zip-code lines, and the Big Park Community School closure changed assignments for addresses on the south end of the Village.

How Safe Is Village of Oak Creek?
Village of Oak Creek Arizona real estate consistently rates among the safer communities in the Verde Valley and in Arizona overall. The overall crime index sits 67% lower than the Arizona state average, and the chance of being a victim of violent crime is 1 in 729. The community profile (median age skewing older, high owner-occupancy, very high second-home percentage, low population density) drives much of that… but the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office maintains a dedicated, full-time substation inside the Village specifically because of seasonal tourist surge volume on SR-179.
Law Enforcement Jurisdiction in Village of Oak Creek
Village of Oak Creek is policed under a county-sheriff framework that buyers should understand before closing. Because the Village is an unincorporated CDP inside the Big Park boundary, there is no city police department. Primary patrol is handled by the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO) out of its dedicated Village of Oak Creek substation at Castle Rock Plaza, 6446 Highway 179, Suite 217, Sedona AZ 86351, staffed full-time by a sergeant and four patrol deputies as part of the YCSO Verde Valley Area Command.
The YCSO main office is at 255 E. Gurley Street in Prescott. Highway enforcement on State Route 179 and Interstate 17 is handled by the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The Sedona Fire District (Station 6 on Verde Valley School Road) provides fire and EMS response with mutual-aid agreements across the Verde Valley.
This single-primary-agency, dedicated-substation model is the cleanest safety profile available for an unincorporated Arizona CDP… and it is a quiet reason Village of Oak Creek realty holds value against neighboring rural markets with rotating county patrols.
Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate Safety Snapshot
An unincorporated red-rock community with a dedicated YCSO substation, low population density, very high owner-occupancy, and crime rates well below state and national averages.
The dominant property-crime patterns inside Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate are vacation-rental-related (short-term-rental homes left unoccupied between guest stays), package theft along Bell Rock Boulevard and Verde Valley School Road, and the occasional opportunistic burglary along high-tourist-traffic streets near Castle Rock Plaza. Gated subdivisions (Firecliff custom-home section, portions of Sedona Golf Resort, Canyon Mesa) report near-zero incidents. The YCSO Village substation publishes regular community notifications through the Big Park Council and operates Text-to-911 across all of Yavapai County, including the entire 86351 zip.
Major Employers & Commute
The Village of Oak Creek Arizona real estate economy is fundamentally a tourism-and-hospitality service economy, layered on top of a substantial retiree and second-home population. The primary year-round employment base lives at the resorts, golf courses, restaurants, and retail along SR-179, plus the schools and Sedona Fire District. For Village residents who hold professional jobs, the realistic commute targets are Cottonwood (medical, county government, retail HQ) and Sedona itself (city government, hospitality leadership, professional services).
Which Employers Anchor Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate Demand?
The realistic commute math for Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate owners: Village residents will not commute to Phoenix daily (110 miles each way down I-17), so this market does NOT compete with Phoenix-metro employer demand. Instead, it competes with Flagstaff, Prescott, and the Cottonwood/Sedona Verde Valley professional corridor. Remote workers and retirees are the dominant buyer profile, and the local economic engine that pays property taxes is tourism, second-home maintenance, and the construction trades servicing those second homes.

Why Village of Oak Creek Realty Clients See Inventory First
Village of Oak Creek realty runs on relationships. We specialize in off-market Village of Oak Creek homes, condos, villas, townhomes, businesses, and commercial properties. In a 74-active market, the inventory that matters is the inventory that has not listed yet… the Firecliff estate settling out of probate, the Canyon Mesa townhome the owner mentioned to their golf partner, the Sedona Golf Resort villa trading broker-to-broker.
Active clients get notified within 60 seconds when off-market inventory surfaces through our private broker relationships. Not a subscription list. Not an email drip. A dedicated human working this market every day. Why does a dedicated full-time agent/broker matter? Because you get access to off-market homes, condos, businesses, and commercial real estate that never reach the national portals. A part-time agent working weekends does not have those broker relationships. That is the entire difference, and it is worth six figures on the wrong purchase.
The founder of Arizona Homes and Condos Realty previously produced over $30 million a month in closed sales at a Nebraska brokerage. Ask any agent for their closed transaction count in Village of Oak Creek over the last 12 months. If they cannot answer in one sentence, you have your answer.

Village of Oak Creek AZ Condos for Sale… August 2026
Village of Oak Creek AZ condos for sale form a real, active market that operates separately from the single-family side, primarily driven by golf-course HOA communities and second-home buyers seeking lock-and-leave inventory. Active attached-housing inventory is concentrated in four core communities. Most buyer traffic for Village of Oak Creek AZ condos for sale is second-home or part-time, which extends days on market but does not soften pricing on view-protected, golf-fronting units.

What Village of Oak Creek Residents Say
The Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate resident base splits cleanly between long-time full-time retirees and seasonal second-home owners from California, Colorado, and Texas. The themes that surface most often in published community reviews and Big Park Council records are quiet, red-rock views, the unincorporated tax/governance posture, and access to trails. Below are anonymized themes from public reviews, not fabricated quotes.
We moved here from California specifically to get the red-rock views without the Uptown Sedona traffic. Our place backs to Coconino National Forest, and we can walk to Bell Rock from our driveway. The Village is quieter than Sedona proper, and that is exactly the point.
The fact that the Village is unincorporated and not part of the City of Sedona made a real difference in our short-term-rental decision. Yavapai County rules are very different from City of Sedona rules. Anyone buying here should read the actual HOA rental restrictions before they close, not just the county ordinance.
VOCA membership is real value if you actually use the golf course, the tennis courts, the pickleball, and the bistro. If you do not use any of those amenities, your dues feel high. Buyers should ask their agent point-blank which subdivisions are VOCA and which are independent before they fall in love with a specific street.
Big Park Community School closing changed our calculus on raising kids in the Village. The bus to West Sedona is fine, but families with younger children should drive that route in winter once before they buy. SR-179 through Bell Rock area gets icy. It is not a deal-breaker, just something nobody tells you upfront.
Why Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate Matters in 2026
The Village of Oak Creek is one of the most supply-constrained submarkets in Arizona. The community is essentially built-out, sits inside a finite geographic boundary between Bell Rock, Castle Rock, and Coconino National Forest, and has effectively zero new construction in the pipeline. That hard ceiling on supply, layered against rising buyer demand spilling south from a similarly squeezed Sedona 86336 zip, is the foundational dynamic for the next 24 months.
Key drivers supporting Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate include:
- Hard supply ceiling… Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate spans 25 named subdivisions, 2,300 homes total, fully built out, no large-scale builder activity. Every transaction is a resale.
- Red-rock view inventory… Bell Rock, Courthouse Butte, Castle Rock, and the back side of Cathedral Rock frame Village of Oak Creek homes for sale from inside the boundary. That viewshed cannot be replicated anywhere else in Arizona at this price point.
- Three golf courses inside the boundary… Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate wraps Oak Creek Country Club (Robert Trent Jones Sr./Jr. 18-hole championship), Sedona Golf Resort (4-star Golf Digest 18-hole par 71), and Canyon Mesa (9-hole executive). Few small markets in Arizona offer this concentration.
- Unincorporated tax footprint… Big Park real estate carries no City of Sedona property tax overlay, no city sales tax overlay, just Yavapai County rates plus fire district. A measurable monthly cost difference versus living inside Sedona city limits.
- Dedicated YCSO substation… Village of Oak Creek realty benefits from a Castle Rock Plaza substation with a full-time sergeant and four deputies, not a rotating county patrol. Crime rates are 67% below the Arizona average.
- I-17 gateway access… Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate sits 7 miles from the I-17 Sedona exit, then 90 miles down to Phoenix Sky Harbor. The Village is the easiest Sedona-area community to reach for Phoenix-based second-home buyers.
- Coconino National Forest immersion… 1.8 million acres of national forest surround the Village. Bell Rock Pathway, Courthouse Butte Loop, Jacks Canyon, and the Munds Mountain ridge trail all trailhead inside or directly adjacent to 86351.
- Sedona-Oak Creek JUSD #9 B-rated district… small, community-scale schools that match the lifestyle profile of the typical Village buyer. The closure of Big Park Community School is a real factor for younger families to evaluate, but the West Sedona feeder pattern is stable.
- Established second-home owner base… Village of Oak Creek realty demand compounds through a deep, repeat-buyer base from California, Colorado, and Texas. This is not a speculative flip market.
- Verde Valley regional anchor… the Village sits at the south end of the Verde Valley region with direct connectivity to Cottonwood (medical, county government, retail) and the SR-89A wine country corridor.
Village of Oak Creek Arizona real estate is not a speculative market. It is a strategic, long-term-demand market driven by geography, scarcity, and an established lifestyle proposition. Buyers and sellers who treat it that way… and work with a dedicated full-time agent who actually knows which streets are VOCA versus non-VOCA, which subdivisions allow short-term rentals, and which addresses feed West Sedona Elementary versus Mountain View Preparatory… will outperform anyone trying to navigate this submarket on national-site data alone.
July 2026… Buyer & Seller Takeaways
- Buyers: The Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate leverage window has closed. Months of supply crashed from 6.8 to 3.9, MAI rebounded to 32, and right-priced homes are now clearing in 22 days at 96.5% of list. Volume is running 40% ahead of last July. If you are still bargain-hunting the bottom two quartiles, the delay strategy is now costing you. Make your offer at asking on anything view-protected and move-in ready.
- Sellers: This is the strongest Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate print for sellers since spring 2024. Price correctly and expect 22-day close on view-fronted inventory. Do NOT chase Sedona 86336 pricing… Sedona proper is softening and the Village-to-Sedona price gap just widened materially. Get a July CMA from a Village-specific agent before pricing.
- Second-home buyers: Before touring Village of Oak Creek homes for sale, confirm short-term-rental rules at the specific HOA level before you make an offer. VOCA, Firecliff, Sedona Golf Resort, and Pine Valley each have different STR postures. Yavapai County rules are not the only governing layer, and policy continues to shift.
- Investors: Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate is a hold-and-appreciate market, not a flip market. Months of supply compressing back to 3.9 confirms the thesis. Every closing at this reduced inventory level resets the comp set for the next 90 days. Cash buyers still have the fastest close advantage over financed offers.
- Families with children: Big Park real estate school feeds changed in 2018… confirm assignment for your specific address with SOCSD directly. The 2018 closure of Big Park Community School changed feeder patterns and the West Sedona bus route adds 25 minutes round-trip on monsoon-season weather days.
- Retirees and active-adult buyers: Canyon Mesa Country Club and Sedona Golf Resort villas anchor the Village of Oak Creek AZ condos for sale market as the two most established lock-and-leave options. Both deliver gated entry, HOA-maintained exteriors, and walking access to amenities. Match HOA dues to actual amenity usage before signing.

The best Village of Oak Creek homes for sale surface through private broker relationships before they reach the national portals.

Yes, on correctly priced view inventory. With 74 actives and a 33 Market Action Index, Village of Oak Creek homes for sale that carry protected Bell Rock or Courthouse Butte sightlines and clean STR rules are drawing competing offers and clearing in 22 days at 96.3% of list.
Big Park real estate… the official CDP name for the Village of Oak Creek… is unincorporated Yavapai County with no city tax overlay, three golf courses inside the boundary, a dedicated sheriff substation, and a hard supply ceiling of 2,300 built-out homes. No other Sedona-area market combines all four.
Big Park real estate trades 30 to 40 percent below Sedona 86336 on price per square foot. In August 2026 the contrast is sharper than ever: Sedona 86336 is buyer-favorable at 5.2 months of supply and a $1,220,000 median, while the Village runs a seller-zone 3.4 months at $581,000.
Because Village of Oak Creek realty is HOA-line-driven: VOCA versus independent HOA versus Pine Valley POA changes dues, STR rights, and resale value street by street. A dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Village of Oak Creek knows those lines. Nearly half of licensed agents closed ZERO deals last year… ask any agent for their closed transaction count here.
Yes. Off-market access is the core of what a dedicated Village of Oak Creek realty specialist delivers… homes, condos, businesses, and commercial properties that never reach a public listing site, surfaced through private broker relationships and delivered one-to-one to active clients, never through a list or subscription.
Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate buyers feed into Sedona-Oak Creek Joint Unified School District #9, a B district grade in the Arizona Department of Education FY25 A-F release. West Sedona Elementary (B, 80.09 points, K-6) and Sedona Red Rock Junior/Senior High School (B, hybrid 7-12) are the assigned campuses. Big Park Community School closed in 2018.
Yes. Village of Oak Creek Arizona Real Estate sits in a community with crime rates 67% below the Arizona average and a 1-in-729 violent crime risk. The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office staffs a dedicated Village substation at Castle Rock Plaza with a sergeant and four deputies, and AZ DPS covers SR-179 and I-17.
5,983 residents per the U.S. Census Bureau 2020 Census count for the Big Park CDP, which is the official census designation for the Village of Oak Creek. The community is fully built out at 2,300 homes across 25 subdivisions, so population growth is constrained by the housing stock itself.
Yes. California, Washington, and Texas lead Arizona’s inbound migration, and relocating buyers are the largest single segment of this market. We tour on video, walk the HOA and STR fine print remotely, and send off-market inventory before it reaches the national portals… so you compete on equal footing with local buyers.
