Choosing an Asking Price for Your Tempe, AZ Home in October 2026

By Jeff Setlow

Tempe, AZ

Choosing your asking price starts with comparisons, not a townwide number. I'll help you weigh your home's differences so the decision reflects more than an appealing target.

For Tempe single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments, the number of homes listed for sale in the latest market report was 526. The typical asking price among homes listed for sale was $469,450. The typical sale price was $450,000, a separate measure of completed sales. Housing supply, measured in months, was 4.96 in the latest reported figures.

These townwide figures provide context, but they do not establish the right asking price for your particular home. I would give recent sales of similar homes more weight than an ambitious asking price on an unrelated property. A higher starting price deserves a clear rationale, while a lower price still needs support from relevant comparisons.

Review recent sales of similar homes with me, focusing on differences in size, condition and features. Examine homes listed for sale separately, checking whether their features genuinely resemble what you plan to offer. Choose a starting price and agree on which feedback would justify revisiting it rather than making arbitrary changes.
