What are Sun Lakes homes actually selling for?
Across the 69 Sun Lakes sales in ClozeEZ's data, the median sold price was $500,000. Those sales worked out to a median of $250 per square foot. The median Sun Lakes home in the same data measures 1,835 square feet.
Listings live on ClozeEZ ask a median of $479,000. Price from the closed sales, not from what neighbors are asking.
How much competition is a Sun Lakes listing up against?
ClozeEZ has 147 active Sun Lakes listings and 69 Sun Lakes sales from the trailing twelve months. Buyers have real choice, yet a well-priced home still stands out.
What should you know before you sell your Sun Lakes home by owner?
In Census estimates, Sun Lakes homes have a median build year of 1991, and owners paid a median of $2,658 a year in real estate taxes. Expect buyer questions about your roof and cooling, and use your own bill to split the year's taxes at closing.
That 1991 median splits local homes into two equal halves, one built before it and one after. For homes in the older half, buyers will want to know when the roof, air conditioner and water heater were last replaced. Cooling costs come up as well, since NOAA's Maricopa 4 N station, near the city of Maricopa, averages a July high of 108.9 F. Keep a year of electric bills in one folder with your receipts, permits and warranties. A newer home still gets a full inspection, so know which parts are original.
Taxes for the year you sell are shared. Escrow charges you for the part of the year the home was yours, and the buyer covers the rest. The $2,658 median shows what is typical in Sun Lakes, not what you owe. Pull your own Maricopa County bill and use it when you work out your net from the sale.
On a state map from the Arizona Department of Water Resources, Sun Lakes falls inside the boundary of the Phoenix Active Management Area. In an active management area, state rules control how groundwater is used. If a buyer asks, point them to that same state map record.

Selling by owner in Sun Lakes: frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to sell a house in Sun Lakes, AZ?
Closing costs such as title, escrow and prorated Maricopa County taxes apply either way. The big difference is commission: about $30,000 at 6% of $500,000, versus ClozeEZ's flat $300, owed only if the sale closes.
Who pays the Sun Lakes property tax in the year of my sale?
Both of you do. Escrow divides the bill by how many days each of you owns the home that year. Treat the $2,658 Census median as a rough guide, since your own Maricopa County bill sets the real amount.
Which groundwater management area is Sun Lakes in?
The Phoenix Active Management Area covers Sun Lakes, based on a map layer from the Arizona Department of Water Resources. State groundwater rules for that area apply here.
