How do I know what to sell my house for? Start with what comparable homes have sold for per square foot, not what neighbors are asking. In ZIP 85250, the Cromford Report shows a median annual sold price of $454.34 per square foot for single-family homes, with homes under contract at $483.51 and active listings at $476.42 (measured 10/18/2026).
How much should I list my house for? Close to where buyers are actually signing. Homes in 85250 sold at an average of 97.09% of list price, down from 100.36% a month earlier. Buyers are negotiating harder than they were in September, so a home priced above the evidence tends to sit, then chase the market down.

How to Use These Numbers to Price Your Home
Step 1: Anchor to Sold, Then Check Under Contract
Sold prices are facts. They're also history: the annual median blends 12 months of closings. Under-contract $/SF is the freshest signal you can see, though it can change before closing. In 85250 right now, the two tell a consistent story: buyers are signing at $483.51 per square foot, in line with active asking prices ($476.42) and above the 12-month sold median.
Step 2: Choose the Right Comparables
A ZIP-wide median is a starting point, not your price. Comparables should match:
- Street and setting: proximity to Chaparral Park, the greenbelt, busy roads
- Size and layout: bedrooms, bathrooms, single-level vs. two-story
- Condition and updates: original 1970s kitchen vs. a full remodel
- Lot and outdoor space: pool, views, yard size
- Timing: the most recent sales first, since the market shifted between September and October
Step 3: Do the Math, Then Sanity-Check It
Illustration only, not a valuation: at the annual median of $454.34, an 1,800-square-foot home works out to about $817,800. At the under-contract median of $483.51, it's about $870,300. That $52,500 spread is why comps matter more than any single average.
Step 4: Price for the Negotiation You'll Actually Get
With homes closing about 2.9% below list on average (100% − 97.09%), a list price well above your comps doesn't create room to negotiate. It mostly reduces showings.
Should I Reduce My House Price? Watch These Signals
- Showings without offers as you approach the market's typical pace (a 58-day median to first contract in 85250)
- Repeated feedback about price rather than condition
- New, lower-priced competition for the same buyer
- Buyers going under contract nearby while yours sits
If a well-presented home gets showings but no offers, the price is usually the message. One decisive adjustment tends to work better than several small ones.
“When a seller asks me what their home is worth, I bring three numbers to the kitchen table: what similar homes sold for, what buyers are signing for this month, and what the competition is asking. Right now in 85250, buyers are paying around 97% of list and taking longer to make a first offer than they were in September. Pricing right on day one is the strongest negotiating move a seller has.”
