Luxury Homes for Sale in Phoenix, Arizona

Phoenix is Arizona's capital and its largest city, with neighborhoods that range from historic districts and downtown high-rises to suburban foothills communities. It is also the center of the Valley's job market, sports, dining and arts. These are the newest homes for sale in Phoenix listed at $1,500,000 and above. There is no single definition of a luxury home, so I use this price point as a starting place for this area.

Buying at Higher Price Points

At higher price points, lot, views, privacy, finishes and amenities can vary widely, and terms and timing can matter as much as price. Having an experienced agent on your side helps you compare properties and structure an offer that protects your interests.

Before You Buy

Every luxury home is different, so plan on detailed inspections and a careful review of the HOA documents, if any, before you make an offer.

Every purchase is different, and I'm a strong negotiator who keeps negotiating until the keys are in my client's hands. On some homes you may also be able to take over the seller's existing FHA, VA or USDA loan; see my assumable mortgage guide.

Phoenix luxury homes: questions people ask

Is Paradise Valley part of Phoenix?
No, Paradise Valley is its own town, incorporated in 1961, and is not part of the City of Phoenix. Residents incorporated to keep the area residential with one-acre-per-house minimum zoning. If you are comparing the two, see our Moving to Paradise Valley guide and Paradise Valley luxury homes.

Where is the Arcadia area of Phoenix?
In the City of Phoenix, the Arcadia Camelback Special Planning District runs roughly from Indian School Road to Stanford Drive and from 44th Street to 64th Street. The district was adopted in 1999 and adds its own zoning standards. Listings sometimes use the Arcadia name loosely, so check the city on the listing and county records before you write an offer.

Are there extra building rules for a home on a Phoenix hillside lot?
Yes, the City of Phoenix reviews hillside plans for any project in a hillside development area, which covers property with a slope of 10% or more. City staff review building height over natural grade, lot coverage and the area of ground disturbed outside the roof. Some projects also need a variance or a hillside grading waiver, so check before you plan an addition or a rebuild.

Does Arizona have a real estate transfer tax?
No, Arizona's Constitution bars the state, counties, cities and other taxing districts from adding any new tax or fee on the sale or transfer of real property. The ban covers anything that was not already in place at the end of 2007. A county recorder fee is still charged when a deed is recorded, and your title company will list it on your closing statement.

Is there a limit on property taxes for a primary home in Arizona?
Yes, for an owner-occupied home, primary property taxes cannot exceed 1% of the home's limited property value. In most cases the limited value can rise no more than 5% a year, and it can never be higher than full cash value. Secondary taxes for bonds, budget overrides and special districts are billed separately. For more about costs, see our Phoenix cost of living page.
