The market, by the numbers
Closed residential sales, October 31, 2025 to October 31, 2026.
Months of supply is today's 4 listings divided by the 12 month average of about 0.8 sales per month. 3 of the 10 sales closed at $5 million or more. Seller concessions are seller paid buyer costs, such as closing costs or a rate buydown, as reported on the closed MLS record. Listing success rate is the share of listings that left the market over the past 12 months that closed rather than being cancelled or expiring: 10 closed and 5 cancelled or expired. A listing that was cancelled and relisted counts as cancelled. With fewer than 20 sales in 12 months, medians can move a lot from one sale to the next.

About Clearwater Hills
The setting, the gate, and the jurisdiction.
Clearwater Hills is a gated community on the eastern slopes of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve, with Paradise Valley addresses. Dwell Arizona describes 217 homesites of one acre or more, with a guard gate at the Tatum Gatehouse staffed 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Dwell Arizona reports that 203 of the 217 lots sit within a Maricopa County island and the rest within the Town of Paradise Valley, so most homes have a Paradise Valley mailing address but are not inside the town limits. Confirm the jurisdiction for any specific home, since it affects building rules and services.
Hillside lots in Clearwater Hills look out over the city and the mountains, and homes range across many architectural styles with natural desert landscaping. Association fees cover the streets, the common areas, and a concierge, according to Dwell Arizona.
