The address is enough to start in Phoenix. If you know the condition, the roof age or what is owed, that gets us to a firmer number faster.
A real number on paper, with the comparable sales and the repair estimate it came from. No obligation and nothing to sign.
Seven days if you need it, ninety if you do not. We buy as-is, cover standard closing costs, and take the house with whatever is still in it.

From our own transaction records and HUD data for Phoenix ZIP codes. Updated 2026-10-12.
We actively buy in Phoenix and can put a written, no-obligation cash offer in front of you within 24 hours of seeing the property details.
Where there is an association we pull the estoppel early; unpaid dues and open violations settle at closing rather than blocking the sale.
Population growth means retail buyers exist — and it means builders are discounting down the road. A dated house is being shopped against an incentive package, which is why it sits.
That is 14 ZIP codes across Phoenix — including 85006, 85008, 85009 and 85016. Not listed? We still look at it — Arizona deals outside these ZIPs come through regularly.
Whole-market figures for every Phoenix ZIP code we buy in, from the ReStar housing database · August 2026. These are not our numbers — they cover every sale in the ZIP, not just ours.
Listings in Phoenix are moving faster than a year ago — a median of 56 days to go under contract, 7 days quicker, and that is only the clock until it goes under contract — a financed buyer then needs another 30 to 45 days to close, assuming their loan holds. If the house is in retail condition and you are not against a deadline, listing it is a real option and we will say so.
Houses here are closing at a median 0.97 of asking price, so the list price sellers start at is not the number they end at. Factor that into any comparison between a cash offer and what an agent projects you will net.
Home values across these ZIP codes are 1.6% lower than a year ago. On a vacant or inherited property that is a second cost running alongside taxes, insurance and utilities while you decide.
| ZIP | Median sale | Per sq ft | Days on market | Listed now | Median rent |

Where a market sits relative to its county tells you which buyers can afford it and how long they take to commit. Here is Maricopa County against the Phoenix ZIP codes specifically.
| Maricopa County | Phoenix ZIPs | |
|---|---|---|
| Median sale price | $473,406 | $386,458 |
| Price per sq ft | $260 | $259 |
| Days on market | 68 days | 56 days |
| Median rent | $1,717/mo | $1,651/mo |
| Median household income | $89,300 | — |
The Phoenix ZIP codes we buy in run 18% below the Maricopa County median of $473,406. That gap is the reason a countywide price per square foot is useless for pricing your house, and it is why our offers are underwritten by ZIP.
Time on market differs too: a median of 56 days in the Phoenix ZIP codes against 68 days across Maricopa County.
County-wide, the median sale price is -0.3% against a year ago.
County figures from the ReStar housing database; the Phoenix column is the median across the ZIP codes listed above. Income is the most recent Census estimate.
Phoenix is two markets and the gap between them is the whole story. Maricopa County's median sale price is around $473,000. The fourteen ZIP codes we buy in run closer to $386,000, because they are the older central, west and south Phoenix stock - not Scottsdale, not the north Valley new-build corridors.
That matters for what an offer looks like. The houses we see here were built for a different climate standard: single-pane glass, original ductwork, and evaporative cooling that has been half-converted to refrigerated air. A 20-year-old package unit on a west-facing roof is the item that shows up on every inspection report in this market, and it is the one a financed buyer asks you to replace before closing.
Values across our Phoenix ZIP codes are about 2% below where they were a year ago while inventory is up around 6%, so listings are competing with more of each other than they were. Time on market is roughly 55 days to go under contract, faster than the county's 68 - a reminder that the cheaper half of this market still moves.
If your house is updated and you are not against a clock, list it. Phoenix has real retail demand at these prices. Call us when the roof, the HVAC or the timeline is the thing standing between you and a closing date.
Our Phoenix footprint extends to Apache Junction, Mesa, Glendale, Peoria, Tolleson, Avondale, Tempe and the Maricopa County unincorporated pockets in between. Apache Junction and the Pinal County edge are their own market: older manufactured and site-built homes, land-owned versus park-leased lots that change how a sale works entirely, and septic rather than sewer on many parcels. If you have a manufactured home, tell us on the first call whether the title was ever retired into the real property. It decides whether a sale takes two weeks or two months.
We do not yet publish a recorded-sales median for Phoenix, so this is expressed as rates rather than dollars — we would rather show you a true percentage than a made-up price. Multiply by whatever your house is worth.
| Cost | Share of the sale price | Selling to us |
|---|---|---|
| Agent commission, both sides | about 5.5% | None |
| None — Arizona prohibits real estate transfer taxes | — | Not levied here |
| Owner's title policy and settlement fees | roughly $1,500–$2,500 | We cover the standard ones |
| Buyer concessions and post-inspection credits | about 1% | None — there is no inspection contingency |
| Pre-listing repairs, cleaning and staging | 1% and up | None — we buy as-is |
| Total cost to sell | about 7.5–9.5% of the sale price | $0 |
Net proceeds = sale price − mortgage payoff − closing costs − commissions − repairs and concessions
On a Arizona listing that is roughly 7.5 to 9.5 per cent of the price gone before the payoff comes out. A cash offer starts below retail but carries none of those five deductions, which is why the two routes land closer together than the headline numbers suggest.
Customary rates, not a quote on your property. Commission is negotiable, and county and municipal add-ons vary within Arizona. See the full cash offer versus listing comparison.
Every row below is a statute rather than our opinion, and each one links to the primary source so you can check it yourself. These are also the items that most often delay a closing in Phoenix.
| Seller disclosure required | A.R.S. § 33-422 — read the statute |
| Transfer or excise tax | None — Arizona prohibits real estate transfer taxes |
| Rate used in the costs below | None |
| Who pays it | Neither |
| Statutory authority | Ariz. Const. art. IX, § 24 — source |
| Who conducts the closing | escrow / title agent |
| Attorney required at closing | No |
Arizona has no general statutory disclosure form for an existing home, but the industry-standard Seller Property Disclosure Statement is used on nearly every transaction, and an Affidavit of Disclosure is required by statute on unsubdivided land of five or fewer parcels in an unincorporated area.
A $2 affidavit fee is charged at recording. That is the whole of it.
Arizona closings run through an escrow agent at a title company. No attorney is required.
Arizona income tax applies to gain above the federal exclusion at a flat 2.5%. Federally, the primary-residence exclusion shelters up to $250,000 of gain if you are single and $500,000 if you are married filing jointly, provided you owned and lived in the house for two of the last five years — see IRS Topic 701. An inherited property takes a stepped-up basis at the date of death, which usually means little or no taxable gain if you sell soon after.
General information about Arizona practice, current as of 2026-10-12. It is not legal or tax advice, and rates set at county or municipal level vary within the state. Your closing agent, attorney or CPA is the authority on your file.
| Listing with an agent | Our cash offer | |
|---|---|---|
| Agent commission | About 6% of the sale price | None |
| Repairs before closing | Buyer and appraiser both have a say | None — we buy as-is |
| Cleaning and showings | Open houses and strangers in the house | Neither |
| Time to close | 60–90 days, then another 30–45 to close | 7–14 days once title is clear |
| Financing falls through | The most common reason a sale collapses | No lender involved |
| Closing costs | Customarily paid by the seller | We cover the standard ones |
| Certainty of the number | Offers can be renegotiated after inspection | The written number is the number |
Listing timelines are typical rather than measured; commission is the customary 6% and varies by agreement.
If you accept an offer, you have three days after signing to walk away for any reason at all, with nothing owed and no explanation needed. We would rather lose a deal than have someone feel cornered into one.
If the house is in good shape and you are not in a hurry, listing it will almost always net you more than we can offer. That is not us being modest — we buy at a discount because we take on the repairs, the carrying costs and the risk.
We will tell you when that is your situation. It is a faster conversation for both of us than pretending otherwise.
Most people who reach out are not shopping for the highest number — they are solving something with a deadline attached. These pages cover what changes in each case:
A sale date does not have to mean a foreclosure on your record.
We buy through probate and can wait for the letters.
A clean date and a clean split of the proceeds.
Occupied is fine. You do not have to remove anyone first.
These get paid out of the proceeds at closing.
Fire, water, structural — we price it, you do not repair it.
Yes. We pull the estoppel and any unpaid dues or violations get settled at closing.
Yes. The payoff comes out of the proceeds at closing. The only situation that gets difficult is owing more than the house is worth, and we will tell you that immediately.
There is not one. None — Arizona prohibits real estate transfer taxes. A $2 affidavit fee is charged at recording. That is the whole of it.
No. Arizona closings run through an escrow agent at a title company. No attorney is required.
Arizona has no general statutory disclosure form for an existing home, but the industry-standard Seller Property Disclosure Statement is used on nearly every transaction, and an Affidavit of Disclosure is required by statute on unsubdivided land of five or fewer parcels in an unincorporated area. The citation is A.R.S. § 33-422. Selling as-is does not remove the obligation — it changes who pays for the repair, not whether you have to mention it.
Between about 7.5% and 9.5% of the sale price on the listing route: roughly 5.5% in agent commission, $1,500 to $2,500 in title and settlement fees, about 1% in buyer concessions and 1% or more in pre-listing repairs. A cash sale to us carries none of it.
There is no fixed percentage, and any buyer quoting one before seeing the property is guessing. The offer is after-repair value, minus repairs, minus holding and resale costs, minus the buyer's margin. Repairs is the line that moves most: a house needing only cosmetics lands far higher than one needing a roof and mechanicals. Ask any buyer to walk you through all four lines on your specific property.
Sometimes, through a short sale, but that needs your lender's written approval and takes months rather than days. We will tell you on the first call if that is what you are looking at, rather than let you find out two weeks in.
Yes. We buy in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no staging — and you can leave behind anything you do not want. As-is changes who pays for the work, not what you are required to disclose about it.
That the purchase is funded without a mortgage, so there is no lender, no appraisal and no financing contingency. That is the whole of the advantage: financing falling through is the most common reason a residential sale collapses, and it cannot happen on a cash purchase.
Check it against the recorded sales published on this page and against the four-line calculation above it. We show you the comps the number came from. If listing would net you more, we will say so — that conversation is faster for both of us than the alternative.
None. There is no agent commission, no listing fee, and we cover standard closing costs. The number on the offer is what you net, minus any existing mortgage payoff or liens.
No. The offer is written, free, and yours to walk away from. We would rather you compare it against a listing than feel pushed into it.
Send the address and we will come back within a day with a written number and the comps it came from. If listing would net you more, we will tell you that instead.
See every Arizona market we buy in, or read how the offer is calculated. Selling because of foreclosure, probate, divorce or a problem tenant? Those pages cover what changes.
