Gilbert's Housing Market at a Glance

Gilbert has grown from under 6,000 residents in 1980 to more than 275,000 today, making it the fifth-largest community in Arizona. That growth has kept the housing market competitive: the median home price sits around $525,000, with most homes selling in under a month and prices expected to climb another 3-5% through 2026 and into 2027. Inventory is improving, which gives buyers more to choose from, but well-priced homes are still moving fast — being pre-approved before you start touring isn't optional here, it's how you actually compete.

Popular Gilbert Areas

 Downtown Gilbert— the walkable heart of town, known for its restaurant scene and community events. Homes here range widely, from historic properties to newer infill construction.

San Tan Village — a major shopping and dining hub in southeast Gilbert, with nearby residential communities that put daily errands minutes away.

Val Vista Lakes — a lakeside master-planned community with 24 subdivisions, resort-style amenities, and a clubhouse with pools, tennis courts, and event space. Median sale prices here run higher, often exceeding $700,000, with waterfront homes surpassing $1 million.

Whichever part of Gilbert you're looking at, financing terms and required down payment can shift depending on the property type and price point — worth a quick call before you fall in love with a specific listing.

Why Families Keep Moving to Gilbert

Gilbert Public Schools carries an overall "A" rating and ranks among the top school districts in Arizona, with every school in the district earning an A or B grade this past year. Math and reading proficiency here run well above the state average, and standout schools like Gilbert Classical Academy and Perry High School post graduation rates above 94%. For families weighing where to put down roots, school quality is often the deciding factor — and it's also one of the strongest drivers of long-term home value in a neighborhood.

Gilbert's job market backs that up. The town has become a real hub for healthcare, aerospace, and technology employers, including Banner Health, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and Isagenix, and nearly half of Gilbert adults hold a bachelor's degree — well above the national average. That combination of good schools and a stable local economy is a big part of why Gilbert keeps showing up on fastest-growing-city lists, and why home values here have held up even as the broader market shifts.

Whether you're relocating for a job, growing your family, or just looking for a community that's likely to keep appreciating, we can help you figure out what loan structure fits your Gilbert move best.

Navigating the Queen Creek Real Estate Market

Queen Creek isn't just growing — it's booming. Over the past few years, our town has consistently ranked as one of the fastest-growing communities in the entire country, with the population climbing from roughly 60,000 in 2020 to nearly 95,000 today. As part of the East Valley's expansion alongside Gilbert and Mesa, Queen Creek is drawing new families every month, which means competition for homes here is real — and having a local lender who knows the market makes a difference.

Growth means construction, and construction means planning ahead. Several major road projects are reshaping how residents get around town. Ellsworth Road is undergoing a multi-year widening project between Germann and Pecos, with completion expected in early 2027, and State Route 24 is being upgraded to a full freeway between Ellsworth and Ironwood, with construction beginning in late 2026. If you're house-hunting near these corridors, it's worth factoring in a few years of construction traffic — and worth talking to someone who can tell you which neighborhoods will benefit most once the dust settles.

Good news for first-time buyers: because Queen Creek straddles both Maricopa and Pinal counties, you may have more assistance options than you'd expect depending on which side of town you're buying.  There are loan programs specific to helping first time homebuyers get into a home with little down.  We help buyers figure out which programs they actually qualify for — it varies block by block more than people realize.

Buying near Town Center or Queen Creek Marketplace? This is the heart of town — walkable (but nobody does) close to Trader Joe's, Target, and Nordstrom Rack, and within a 10-minute drive of nearly everything. It's also one of the more competitive pockets of the market, with homes here taking a bit longer to sell than the town average, so buyers who are pre-approved and ready to move quickly have a real edge. If you're eyeing a home near the Marketplace or Town Center, get your financing lined up before you start touring — in this micro-market, that head start matters.  

Whether you're buying your first home in Queen Creek or relocating within the East Valley, we live and work here — and we can help you navigate both the market and the financing with local knowledge you won't get from a call center.
