A Look into Luxury: Arizona’s Luxury Real Estate Market Update | December 2025
As 2025 comes to a close, Arizona’s luxury real estate market has officially set new records. While many markets across the country have slowed or normalized, high-end real estate in Arizona continues to demonstrate depth, resilience, and long-term buyer confidence.
This latest A Look into Luxury update highlights what is happening at the $3 million, $10 million, and $14 million price points, where activity remains strong but increasingly strategic.
Record-Breaking Luxury Sales in 2025
Year-to-date, 831 homes priced at $3 million and above have sold across Arizona, surpassing the previous annual record by more than 13%. This milestone confirms that demand for luxury real estate has not disappeared — it has simply become more selective.
Even more notable is what’s happening at the top of the market. In the most recent update alone, 164 additional luxury homes closed, including 7 sales at $10 million or higher and 2 sales at $14 million or more. These numbers reinforce that ultra-luxury buyers are still active when the right property, pricing, and value align.
Inventory Is Rising, And the Market Is Shifting
One of the most important changes since the last report is inventory growth across all luxury tiers.
Active listings have increased by:
- 12.76% at $3 million and above
- 35.53% at $10 million and above
- 31.43% at $14 million and above
This shift signals a move toward a more balanced luxury market. Buyers now have more options and negotiating power, while sellers must be increasingly precise with pricing, presentation, and marketing strategy. Homes that are positioned correctly are still selling, while overpricing is no longer being absorbed by the market.
What This Means for Luxury Buyers and Sellers
Luxury real estate in Arizona is no longer driven by urgency. It is driven by data, strategy, and execution.
For buyers, expanding inventory creates opportunity — particularly at higher price points where choice and leverage are improving. For sellers, success now depends on understanding current demand, realistic pricing, and professional representation that knows how to navigate a more competitive environment.
These dynamics are especially visible in Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Arcadia, and the Biltmore area, where luxury activity remains concentrated and highly nuanced.
