2025 in one sentence: The Grand remained active, but buyers became more condition-conscious and price-sensitive as the year progressed; inventory tightened during parts of the summer while turnkey and distinctive golf properties continued to attract attention.
This is a historical market timeline based on Shannon Biszantz’s videos recorded May through October 2025. It is useful for context, not as a substitute for current MLS data.
Five years of The Grand sales and prices
Shannon’s July snapshot placed 2025 in a longer cycle. Her reported figures show how the post-2020 surge in prices was followed by steadier annual activity rather than a single straight line.
| Year | Reported sales | Reported average price |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 592 | $377,000 |
| 2021 | 625 | $470,000 |
| 2022 | 510 | $492,000 |
| 2023 | 502 | $511,000 |
| 2024 | 490 | $510,000 |
Those community-level averages hide large differences between compact interior homes, golf lots, remodeled properties and luxury estate models. They should never be used alone to price one address.
May 2025: buyers were still arriving after “high season”
The May 19 update challenged the assumption that every Arizona buyer disappears for summer. Shannon reported 226 year-to-date sales, slightly ahead of the 221 comparison point she cited, and described active demand for both well-maintained golf frontage and turnkey homes in the high-$300,000s to low-$400,000s. The practical lesson was simple: seasonal patterns matter, but relocation dates and property fit can matter more.
June 2025: lower inventory met active demand
By June 10, Shannon reported 148 active homes and 55 under contract. She also described multiple out-of-state buyer groups writing offers. The reported average price was about $503,000—roughly $14,000 below the prior-year comparison—showing that sales activity and average price do not always move in lockstep.
July 2025: long-term context mattered
The July review showed sales volume settling near the 500-per-year range after 2021’s spike. That did not mean every segment was moving at the same speed. Buyers increasingly rewarded homes with updated major systems, strong lots and minimal immediate work. Sellers who anchored to an exceptional nearby sale without adjusting for condition or floor plan risked accumulating days on market.
September 2025: price reductions and turnkey demand
Shannon’s late-September snapshots described a market with motivated buyers but sharper comparisons. A Mission floor-plan golf home illustrated demand for premium views, while a roughly 2,014-square-foot Sierra example showed why floor-plan identification and direct comparable sales matter. The luxury segment also favored homes that felt complete on day one—updated, clean, well presented and supported by credible maintenance records.
For model-specific research, compare the Mission floor plan, Sierra floor plan and the broader The Grand floor-plan library.
October 2025: nine-month results confirmed a selective market
The October deep dive pulled the first three quarters together. Buyers were present, but broad averages could not explain the spread between dated and fully renovated homes. Roof underlayment, HVAC, windows, solar obligations, garage capacity and lot influence repeatedly appeared in buyer decision-making.
Sellers can use the roof, window and HVAC preparation guide. Buyers should begin with the community guide to The Grand and then review current inventory.

Frequently asked questions
Did Surprise become a buyer’s market in 2025?
Conditions varied by price, neighborhood and property condition. Buyers were selective and marketing times lengthened in some segments, but low inventory and strong demand still benefited specific turnkey and view properties.
Did home prices collapse in The Grand in 2025?
No collapse appears in the figures discussed. Shannon reported an average around $503,000 in June compared with about $517,000 a year earlier, while individual homes varied substantially.
Why preserve an old market update?
A dated annual record helps owners understand seasonality and longer-term changes. It should remain clearly labeled as historical and link to a current update.
What is the best way to price a home in The Grand?
Use recent sales and active competitors for the closest floor plan, condition and lot type, then adjust for major systems and improvements. A community-wide average is not a valuation.
