Phoenix East Valley Luxury Market Update 2025
The Arizona luxury market continues to evolve—and the Phoenix East Valley remains one of the most desirable regions in the state. From the golf-course estates of Scottsdale to the hillside mansions of Paradise Valley, and the modern estates in Chandler and Gilbert, $1M+ homes are defining a new wave of luxury living.
As Mary Murphy, founder of The Murphy Group, explains:
“The East Valley’s luxury market is maturing. Buyers want more than square footage—they want quality, lifestyle, and privacy. At this level, it’s about purposeful design and community fit.”
📊 East Valley Luxury Market Snapshot (Q4 2025)
| City | Median Price ($1M+) | Avg. Days on Market | Market Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scottsdale | $2.1M | 56 days | Balanced to Seller’s |
| Paradise Valley | $4.3M | 68 days | Seller’s |
| Chandler | $1.3M | 45 days | Fast-Moving |
| Gilbert | $1.15M | 42 days | Competitive |
| Queen Creek | $1.05M | 39 days | Hot Emerging Market |
💬 Note: Inventory for $1M+ homes remains tight across the East Valley—down 6% year over year—while buyer demand, especially from out-of-state relocations and investors, continues to rise.
📈 Key 2025 Trends in Arizona Luxury Real Estate
1. Migration from Coastal States Continues
High-income buyers from California, Washington, and Illinois continue to fuel the luxury market, drawn to Arizona’s tax advantages and lifestyle appeal.
2. Outdoor & Wellness Living Are Non-Negotiable
Resort-style backyards, wellness suites, and outdoor kitchens are now standard expectations for $1M+ listings.
3. Smart Homes & Energy Efficiency Drive Value
Buyers are prioritizing tech-integrated homes—solar panels, EV charging, and smart climate systems add tangible resale value.
4. Modern Desert Architecture Dominates
Clean lines, natural light, and open indoor-outdoor concepts define today’s luxury buyer preferences, especially in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley.
💬 Murphy Group Insight
“Inventory has improved slightly since mid-2024, but quality homes are still selling fast—especially those priced correctly and presented with excellence,” says Mary Murphy.
“We’re seeing strong buyer competition for turnkey properties with privacy, design integrity, and modern amenities.”
🏠 What Sellers Should Know
✅ Presentation Is Power: Homes with professional staging, drone video, and lifestyle marketing sell 35% faster.
✅ Timing Matters: January–May remains the prime selling window for luxury properties.
✅ Strategic Pricing: Listing slightly below comparable market value can generate bidding activity without discounting true worth.
💼 What Buyers Should Know
✅ Cash Still Wins: Roughly 45% of $1M+ sales in Paradise Valley and Scottsdale closed in cash during 2025.
✅ Private Listings Growing: Off-market transactions are increasing—especially among high-net-worth clients.
✅ Work with Specialists: The Murphy Group’s Arizona Luxury Division focuses exclusively on East Valley estates, ensuring access to private inventory and early listings.
🌟 2025 Outlook
The Phoenix East Valley remains one of the strongest-performing luxury regions in the Southwest. Expect moderate appreciation (3–5%) and continued buyer migration through 2026.
“The story of Arizona luxury isn’t slowing down—it’s just becoming more refined,” says Mary Murphy.
“The best homes are selling not because of price, but because they tell a story—and we know how to tell it.”
