Buying a Home in Peoria, AZ
Buying in Peoria means paying somewhere near $500,000, the median of the 199 Peoria sales in ClozeEZ's records. ClozeEZ lists 487 Peoria homes for sale today at a median asking price of $575,000, and shows the sold comparables on the same map so you can check an asking price before you offer. Peoria is in Maricopa County, Arizona. On ClozeEZ's owner-listed homes, buyers contact the seller directly: no buyer-broker agreement to tour, no buyer-agent commission built into the purchase, and a flat $200 platform fee owed only if you close. Brokerage-listed homes shown on ClozeEZ are handled by the listing brokerage.
What buying in Peoria actually costs
The median Peoria home in ClozeEZ's data measures 2,166 square feet. Recorded Peoria sales priced out at a median of $255 per square foot, so at that rate another 500 square feet of house costs roughly $127,500 here. That is the trade a Peoria budget actually makes: square footage against location, lot and condition.
Property tax is the line buyers forget until the closing statement. ClozeEZ estimates property taxes on Peoria listings from Maricopa County Assessor parcel data, so you can see the annual tax figure while you are still shopping rather than after you are under contract.
Browsing, touring and offering are free on ClozeEZ. The only platform charge is a flat $200 at closing, and no buyer-agent commission is built into a ClozeEZ purchase unless you separately hire and pay an agent. Your earnest money goes to a licensed title and escrow company, never to the seller and never to ClozeEZ.
What Peoria homes actually sold for, and how a buyer uses it
Across the 199 Peoria sales in ClozeEZ's records, the median closed price was $500,000, or about $255 per square foot. That sample size is the point: a single comp is an anecdote, and 199 of them is a price range you can argue from.
Today's Peoria asking prices run a median of $575,000, roughly 15% above that recorded median sale price. That gap is not proof any one home is overpriced, because the listing pool and the sold pool are different homes, but it is the reason to price a specific Peoria house against what closed near it rather than against what the neighbors are asking.
ClozeEZ shows these sold comparables on the search map alongside the active Peoria listings, and because you are talking to the owner rather than through two brokerages, you can ask directly what the seller paid, what they have replaced and why the price is where it is.
Condos and townhomes in Peoria
4% of the Peoria properties in ClozeEZ's data are condos or townhomes. If you end up under contract on one, the association matters as much as the unit: ask for the reserve balance, the delinquency rate among owners and any special assessment on the table, and have your lender check the project's eligibility early, because condo project approval can fail for reasons that have nothing to do with your credit.
How buying a Peoria home works on ClozeEZ
1. Browse and tour freely
Every Peoria listing is free to browse with photos, prices and property facts. On owner-listed homes, book showings directly with the seller: no exclusive buyer-broker agreement is required.
2. Offer directly on Arizona's standard contract
Make offers straight to the seller using Arizona's standard Residential Resale Real Estate Purchase Contract with electronic signing. Your earnest money goes to a licensed title and escrow company, never to the seller and never to ClozeEZ.
3. Inspect, then close through Maricopa County title and escrow
The standard contract gives you a ten-day inspection period unless you negotiate otherwise, and that window is where every Peoria item on this page gets checked. A licensed title and escrow company clears title, holds all funds and records the deed. If your purchase closes, the platform charge is a flat $200, not a percentage.
