Sun City Grand Homes for Sale

The average sold price in Sun City Grand was $499,000 last month, across 27 closed sales. That is an average, so a handful of golf course or Estate Series sales can pull it up, and condos pull it down.

Sun City Grand homes that sold last month averaged $249 per square foot, and homes for sale right now average $263. The gap between the two is normal, because asking prices usually start higher than where homes close.

Homes that sold in Sun City Grand last month took an average of 90 days on market. Homes priced right and in good condition often go much faster, while dated or overpriced homes sit. If you are selling, pricing in the first two weeks matters more than anything else you do.

Sun City Grand homes sold for an average of 97.2% of list price last month, and 33% sold at or above asking. So most buyers are negotiating something, but well-priced homes still draw full-price offers. I check the recent sales for that floor plan before we decide on an offer.

Sun City Grand has 4.4 months of inventory at the pace of the last 6 months, which is a balanced market. Buyers have real choice right now, and sellers need to price carefully.

27 homes closed in Sun City Grand last month. Sales slow in late summer and pick up as winter visitors return, so one month is only part of the picture.

Over the last 12 months, Sun City Grand homes averaged about $508,000 sold against about $521,000 listed. Last month's average sold price was $499,000, a bit under that 12-month figure. That points to a steady market with some softening, not a sharp drop, and I update this every month.

March was the busiest month for Sun City Grand closings over the last 12 months, with 65 sales, and spring is usually strongest. The slowest months closed around 29 sales. Buyers often find more room to negotiate in summer, and sellers usually see the most traffic from January through April.

In Sun City Grand last month, 6 homes sold for under 95% of list, 5 sold between 95% and 98%, 7 sold between 98% and 100%, and 8 sold between 100% and 102%. Only 1 went above that. There is room, but it depends on the home. Updated homes on good lots rarely discount much.

Sun City Grand prices cover a wide range, from La Solana condos up to golf course Estate Series homes that can top $1 million. For a reliable starting point, use the average sold price and average list price in the market snapshot above, which I refresh every month. Cottage Series and smaller Classic Series homes typically run $300,000 to $400,000, Premier Series homes land in the $400,000 to $700,000 range, and Estate Series homes often sit between $600,000 and $1 million depending on location and upgrades.

Sun City Grand allows buyers as young as 45, which is unusual for the West Valley. The community's recorded CC&Rs follow the 85/15 rule: at least 85 percent of occupied homes must have a resident 55 or older, so the under-55 slots are limited and the association manages them. Once someone 45 or older qualifies, a spouse or partner 19 or older can live there as well. If you are under 55, tell me early and I will confirm availability with the association before we write an offer.

Yes, you can buy in Sun City Grand if you are under 55, as long as a resident is at least 45. Because of the 85/15 rule explained above, those under-55 slots are limited. I confirm with the association before we write an offer so there are no surprises at closing.

Sun City Grand's age rules are about who lives in the home: a resident must be 45 or older, and a spouse or partner 19 or older can live with them. Situations like inheriting a home or buying for a parent come up, and the details depend on the association. Ask me and I will confirm the current rules with Sun City Grand before you commit.

Buyers in Sun City Grand pay $5,400 in one-time fees at closing: the $5,000 CARE (Community and Resident Enhancement) fee, a $130 resale disclosure fee, a $100 transfer fee, and a $170 Architectural Review Committee fee. The ARC fee is not charged on La Solana condos.

Sun City Grand lists the $5,000 CARE fee as a buyer fee, though the CC&Rs allow buyer and seller to split it, so it can be negotiated. There is a one-time waiver for anyone who owned a home in The Grand before January 1, 2008 and still owns one when buying another. Certain inheritance and estate-planning transfers are also exempt.

Selling in Sun City Grand involves the usual costs: broker commission, which is negotiable, plus title and escrow. By local custom the seller pays the owner's title policy and escrow fees are split. Arizona has no real estate transfer tax. The association's $130 disclosure and $100 transfer fees are listed as buyer fees, but the contract decides who pays.

You can request a free, no-obligation estimate for your Sun City Grand home through our home value page. For a more precise number, I walk through the home myself and compare it with recent sales of the same floor plan and lot type.

Yes, you can rent out a Sun City Grand home, with limits. Leases must run at least 30 days, the home must be leased in its entirety, and the association requires proof that the lessee is 45 or older. That rules out short-term vacation rentals, but seasonal and longer leases work well.

No. Sun City Grand's CC&Rs define a detached guest suite as an Ancillary Unit rather than a separate dwelling, so it cannot be sold or leased on its own. Homes may be leased only in their entirety, leases must run at least 30 days, and the association requires proof that a lessee is 45 or older.

Yes, every home in Sun City Grand is a resale. Del Webb built the community from 1996 through 2005, with the final homes closing in 2006, so there is no new construction from the builder. That means you are buying an established home, and the condition and updates vary a lot from one house to the next.

For Sun City Grand homes built between 1996 and 2005, I focus buyers on the roof and the HVAC system first. Many homes are on original or older equipment, and those are the two biggest costs to replace. Ask the seller for the age of each, and plan your offer around what you learn.

Some Sun City Grand homes have solar, and owners can add it with Architectural Review Committee approval. Arizona law does not let an HOA ban solar, but The Grand has placement rules, such as keeping panels in the least visible spot that still works well. If a home has solar, I always ask whether it is owned or leased, because that affects the sale.

Yes, Sun City Grand has 252 condos at La Solana, alongside about 9,550 single-family homes. La Solana has its own condominium association with monthly dues on top of the community assessment, so I always pull the current dues before we write an offer. Check the active listings on this page for current condo prices.

Sun City Grand uses a single annual assessment of $1,976 for July 2026 through June 2027, about $165 a month. Buyers also pay $5,400 in one-time fees at closing, which includes the $5,000 CARE fee, though owners who bought in The Grand before 2008 get a one-time CARE waiver. La Solana condos have additional dues, and golf is separate. For the full breakdown, see our Sun City Grand HOA fees guide.

The Sun City Grand annual assessment of $1,976 for 2026-27 supports the amenities and community operations, and it includes up to two activity cards per household. Golf is not included and is paid separately.

A few Sun City Grand homes do pay more. La Solana condos have their own condominium association dues. Courtyard homes pay a $777 annual Maintained Property fee, and Garden Villa homes pay $721, which covers front-yard landscaping and monthly pest treatment. Most single-family homes pay only the annual assessment.

Property taxes in Sun City Grand vary by home, but as an estimate, a home with a limited property value around $317,000 works out to roughly $2,400 to $2,600 a year, including the street light district charge. Larger homes and golf lots run higher. Always check the actual bill on the Maricopa County Treasurer's site for the home you are considering.

Yes, golf in Sun City Grand is separate from the annual assessment. For 2026, a Premium Pass is $5,430 per person with no round fees, and an Annual Pass is $1,548 per person plus round fees. The resident 18-hole peak rate is $55.

An extra activity card in Sun City Grand costs one-half of the annual assessment and is good for one year. With the 2026-27 assessment at $1,976, that works out to $988. The assessment already includes up to two cards per household, so most couples do not need one.

Yes, some Sun City Grand homes have casitas, which work well for guests or a live-in caregiver. RV garages are not something you will find here, so if you need RV storage, plan on an off-site lot. You can browse Sun City Grand homes with a casita.

Yes, Sun City Grand has plenty of golf course lots along its four courses. They usually sell for more, and the views and privacy vary a lot by hole and orientation. You can browse Sun City Grand golf course homes, and I am happy to walk the lot with you.

Mountain views in Sun City Grand depend on the lot. Some homes look toward the White Tank Mountains and others toward the Bradshaws, while many interior lots have no view at all. If views matter to you, tell me early so we focus on the right streets.

Walmart, Sprouts, ALDI, WinCo, and Costco are all close, along with Target and Lowe's at Surprise Marketplace.

Yes, Sun City Grand is a pet-friendly community. Standard household pets are welcome, and many residents walk their dogs on the community's trails daily. Specific rules on pet count and breed are set by the community association, so I always recommend checking with the association before buying if you have specific pet needs.

Yes, Sun City Grand is now known as The Grand. You will see both names on listings, signs, and the association's website, and they mean the same community.

Sun City Grand is about 40 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, about 55 minutes without traffic. The two main routes are Grand Avenue (US 60) to Loop 101 and I-10, or Loop 303 to I-10. Plan on longer at rush hour.

Sun City (1960) and Sun City West (1978) are the original Del Webb communities, while Sun City Grand was built between 1996 and 2005, so the homes are much newer. Sun City Grand also allows residents from 45, while the other two are 55+. On golf, The Grand has four courses compared with eight association courses in Sun City and seven in Sun City West. My Sun City vs Sun City West comparison goes deeper on golf, clubs, and costs.

Sun City Grand and Sun City Festival are both fantastic active adult communities with two pretty different lifestyles. Sun City Grand, now known as The Grand, is in Surprise, larger and more established, with mature landscaping, four golf courses, and a huge variety of clubs, close to shopping, restaurants, and medical care. Sun City Festival in Buckeye sits farther out near the White Tank Mountains, with newer homes and a quieter feel. If you want everything close by, The Grand is hard to beat. If you want newer homes and more breathing room, Sun City Festival may fit better.

The biggest differences between Sun City Grand and Sun City West are the age of the homes and the overall feel. Sun City Grand has a resort-style atmosphere, newer homes, and four golf courses near Surprise shopping. Sun City West is larger and more established, with a wider range of home styles and prices. Neither is necessarily better. It comes down to how you picture spending your retirement.

Sun City Grand and PebbleCreek are probably the closest comparison in lifestyle. PebbleCreek is gated and Sun City Grand is not, and PebbleCreek has a slightly more upscale feel with some larger homes. Sun City Grand has four golf courses to PebbleCreek's two. Sun City Grand is in Surprise and PebbleCreek is in Goodyear, so where your family lives may decide it. Prices overlap, so compare what is available in both.
