What should you know before selling your Sun City West home by owner?
Sun City West's homes have a Census median build year of 1989, and the median owner here paid $1,655 a year in real estate taxes. Plan your repair records around the first number and your closing split around the second.
Half the homes in Sun City West were built before 1989, the Census median. If yours is in that older half, expect buyers to ask which parts are original. List the roof, water heater, cooling system and plumbing, with the year each was last replaced or serviced. Hand that list over with your disclosure so the inspection starts from facts.
Treat the $1,655 figure as a guide for the area, not as your bill. Escrow divides the year's tax at closing, day by day, so you and the buyer each pay only for your own time in the home. Look up your actual Maricopa County bill before you work out what you will take home from the sale.
Sun City West sits inside the Phoenix Active Management Area on a map layer from the Arizona Department of Water Resources. The same agency keeps a list of providers with an assured water supply. EPCOR West Valley, which includes EPCOR Sun City West, is on that list. If EPCOR Sun City West sends your water bill, give that name where the disclosure form asks about water. Keep a recent bill on hand for buyers who ask.

Selling by owner in Sun City West: frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to sell a house in Sun City West, AZ?
Closing costs such as title, escrow and prorated Maricopa County taxes apply either way. The big difference is commission: about $22,200 at 6% of $370,000, versus ClozeEZ's flat $300, owed only if the sale closes.
Will the buyer of my Sun City West home pay part of this year's property tax?
Yes. Escrow splits the tax for the year at closing, and the buyer covers the days after the sale. Census estimates put the median bill here at $1,655 a year, but the split uses your own Maricopa County bill.
Does my Sun City West water provider have an assured water supply?
If your water comes from EPCOR Sun City West, yes. State water records list EPCOR West Valley, a provider group that includes EPCOR Sun City West, with an assured water supply designation. Check the name on your water bill to confirm your provider.
