Big Picture: Queen Creek Is Still a Hot Ticket

Queen Creek keeps proving why it’s one of Arizona’s most desirable places to live. The latest numbers show home prices are climbing, luxury buyers are active, and sellers still hold an edge—though days on market are creeping upward. Let’s unpack what August 2025 tells us about our local housing market.

📈 Prices Surge—Especially at the Top

  • Median sale price: $735,000, up 16.7% compared to August 2024.

  • Average sale price: $844,132, a 21% jump year over year.

Even with a median list price holding flat at $699,900, buyers are clearly paying more once they find the right home. That’s a signal of strong demand and competitive offers—especially in the luxury brackets.

🏡 Inventory Is Growing…But Not Fast Enough

  • Active listings: 483, up 3.4% from last year.

  • New listings in August: 156, a modest 1.3% gain.

More homes are hitting the market, yet demand continues to outpace supply. The absorption rate—how long it would take to sell all current listings at the current pace—sits at 4.22 months, down about 9% from last year. That’s close to a balanced market, but still slightly seller-friendly.

⏱ Homes Are Taking a Bit Longer to Sell

  • Average cumulative days on market: 103 days (up 5%).

  • Median cumulative days on market: 88 days (up a striking 33%).

Buyers have a little more breathing room. Well-priced homes still move, but the days of lightning-fast sales are cooling off.

💎 Luxury Leads the Way

Upper-end activity is where the fireworks are:

  • $1M–$1.25M sales: +200%

  • $1.25M–$1.5M sales: +150%

  • $1.5M–$2M sales: +66%

  • $2M–$3M sales: 3 closings this August (none last year).

Queen Creek’s luxury market is not just healthy—it’s thriving.

⚖️ Year-to-Date Snapshot

From January through August 2025:

  • Median sale price: $675,000 (+3.9% vs. 2024 YTD)

  • Average sale price: $770,752 (+3.7% YTD)

  • Total closed sales: 949, a solid 10% increase year over year.

Despite a slower August for pending contracts (88 pendings, down 24% from last year), overall 2025 activity remains ahead of last year.

What This Means for You

For Sellers:
Queen Creek values are up and luxury buyers are active. Even with slightly longer market times, serious buyers are out there. Price strategically and your home can capture attention quickly.

For Buyers:
Inventory is inching higher and homes are taking longer to sell. This gives you more negotiation room, especially under $1 million. Get pre-approved and be ready to move when the right property hits the market.

Why It Matters

Queen Creek continues to attract families, entrepreneurs, and investors looking for space, amenities, and value compared to nearby Scottsdale or Chandler. Whether you’re buying or selling, understanding these numbers gives you an edge in a competitive East Valley market.
