What selling in Tempe, AZ means for you

How much time you have

Arizona has one of the fastest foreclosure clocks in the country (~90 days). If you need to beat that, closing timing depends on the contract and title work, far ahead of any trustee sale.

What your closing looks like

Arizona closings run through a licensed escrow agent, not an attorney, which keeps your closing-side costs lower than most states.

Arizona median home value: $425,000 · Tempe estimated median: $500,000

Who's buying in your area

Phoenix metro is one of the most competitive cash-buyer markets in the U.S., which usually means a higher offer for you. Smaller markets like Yuma, Flagstaff, and Sierra Vista get fewer offers per home, another reason to let multiple independent buyers compete.

Tempe sits in Maricopa County, one of 162 Arizona markets covered by our listing and offer-request service. See the Maricopa County market page →
