The snapshot

What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 147 closed sales in Cave Creek over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $1,125,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $750,000 and $1,550,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 83% of the Cave Creek closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 147 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $344 and $509 per square foot.

The Cave Creek angle
Resideline tracked 147 closings in Cave Creek over the last 12 months; the median came in at $1,125,000, and the middle half of those sales landed between $750,000 and $1,550,000.

From market read to offer price
A thin market punishes generic pricing; the way to firm up a number here is the specific property and its handful of true comps. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator, rehab cost estimator, BRRRR calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.
And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
Run any Cave Creek address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records. This is a low-volume sample: treat the statistics as directional rather than precise estimates of the entire local market.
Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Cave Creek over the last 12 months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Cave Creek city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 18% of the 147 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $1,173,000. This is a low-volume market: the figures below rest on 147 closings within the Cave Creek city limits, so treat the median as indicative rather than precise.

How many homes sold in Cave Creek last month?

The most recent month keeps filling in for several weeks as closings are recorded, so this count will rise. These are tracked samples of market activity, not official county totals.
What is the typical sale price range in Cave Creek?

What is the typical price per square foot in Cave Creek?
Among qualifying Cave Creek closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, the median sold price per square foot was $416, measured across 147 sales with usable living area. Median is used rather than average because outliers distort the mean.
Should I trust a Cave Creek valuation built from loosely matched comps?
No. The middle half of closings spans a wider range than most markets we track, so a comp that is only roughly similar can sit a long way from your subject's true value. With a sample thinner than most markets we track you will have fewer candidates, which makes deliberate matching and explicit adjustment more important, not less.
