What selling a house in Phoenix looks like right now
The Phoenix area is a big mix of housing. Close to the core you find 1950s and 1960s block ranches in places like Maryvale, central Phoenix and south Scottsdale. Farther out, Gilbert, Chandler, Laveen, Surprise and the Pinal County towns are full of 1990s and 2000s tract homes, most of them in HOAs. Almost every house here is slab on grade, and the desert is hard on it. Air conditioning runs most of the year, so older HVAC units, roofs and water heaters wear out fast, and a failing unit in July is a real problem. Many owners who sell as-is are dealing with an inherited house, a rental that has gotten tired, or a list of big-ticket repairs they would rather not fund. Arizona also caps how fast the taxable value of a home can rise each year, so a long-held house can carry a low tax bill that a new buyer will not get.

Probate, taxes and foreclosure in the Phoenix area
Each county runs these a little differently. Here’s what matters when you’re selling an inherited house, dealing with back taxes or trying to stay ahead of a foreclosure. General information, not legal advice.
Maricopa County County seat: Phoenix
- Probate
- Probate is handled by the Maricopa County Superior Court, Probate and Mental Health Department, at the Central Court Building, 201 W. Jefferson St., Phoenix. As of 2026, Arizona law lets heirs use a small estate affidavit for real property if the real estate is worth $300,000 or less after liens, but only six months or more after the death.
- Property taxes
- The Maricopa County Assessor sets values and the Maricopa County Treasurer bills and collects. You have 60 days from the date the Notice of Value was mailed to file an appeal with the Assessor, and the Limited Property Value used to figure your taxes can rise no more than 5% a year unless the property changes.
- Foreclosure and tax sales
- Most home foreclosures in Arizona are non-judicial trustee’s sales, held no sooner than the 91st day after the notice of sale is recorded, on a weekday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the property, a superior court building, or the trustee’s office in the county. Unpaid property taxes are sold as tax liens at the Treasurer’s February sale, and the lien buyer can start a court action to foreclose the right to redeem three years after the sale.
Pinal County County seat: Florence
- Probate
- Probate cases are filed in the Superior Court of Arizona in Pinal County. The same statewide small estate rules apply: as of 2026, a small estate affidavit can transfer real property worth $300,000 or less after liens, filed at least six months after the death.
- Property taxes
- The Pinal County Assessor values property and the Pinal County Treasurer collects the tax. Under state law, an appeal to the Assessor must be filed within 60 days after the Notice of Valuation was mailed.
- Foreclosure and tax sales
- Arizona trustee’s sales are non-judicial and can happen no sooner than the 91st day after the notice of sale is recorded, on a weekday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Delinquent taxes are sold as tax liens in February, and the buyer can file to foreclose the right to redeem beginning three years after the sale.

What a Phoenix seller actually walks away with
The list price isn’t what you keep. Here’s an illustrative example for a dated Phoenix house that needs work. The example uses the Phoenix median sale price, rounded, as the value once the house is fixed up, since a repaired home would sell near the middle of the market.
| List it yourself | Sell to BAM as-is | |
|---|---|---|
| Sale price after repairs | $455,000 | Your offer amount |
| Repairs before listing | −$50,000 | $0 |
| Agent commissions (5.5% assumed) | −$25,000 | $0 |
| Title, escrow, transfer tax and other seller costs (est. 1.5%) | −$6,800 | $0, we pay them |
| Holding costs for 3 to 4 months (est. 1%) | −$4,600 | $0 |
| Inspection repair credits and concessions (est. 1%) | −$4,600 | $0 |
| What you walk away with | $364,000 | Your offer, dollar for dollar |
Illustrative example, not an offer or appraisal. Commissions are negotiable and every house is different. When you list traditionally, agent commissions are negotiable and are not set by law, so ask each agent for their rate in writing. Who pays for the owner’s title insurance policy is spelled out in your purchase contract, so check that line before you sign. Arizona has no real estate transfer tax, and the state constitution bars new ones, so you only pay routine recording and escrow fees.
Compare our cash offer to that bottom-line number, not to the list price. If it’s close, you skip the repairs, the showings and months of waiting. If listing will clearly net you more, we’ll tell you.

Selling a house for cash in Phoenix
How much time do I have if I’m facing foreclosure in Arizona?
Most Arizona foreclosures are trustee sales that don’t go through court. The notice of trustee’s sale generally has to be recorded at least 90 days before the sale. Call us as early as you can.
Do you buy houses with pools or old AC systems?
Yes. We buy as-is, including houses with worn-out HVAC, pool problems, roof damage or dated interiors.
Can I sell if I live out of state?
Yes. We can handle the walkthrough and most paperwork remotely, and you choose the closing date.
Who handles the closing?
An Arizona title and escrow company handles the closing. We pay all of your closing costs.
Do I have to go through full probate to sell my parent’s house in Arizona?
Not always. As of 2026, Arizona lets heirs use a small estate affidavit for real property if the value of all the real estate, minus liens and mortgages, is $300,000 or less. You have to wait at least six months after the death to use it. If the equity is higher, or there is a dispute, the estate usually goes through the Superior Court probate process. In Maricopa County that is the Probate and Mental Health Department in downtown Phoenix.
I’m behind on property taxes. Will the county take my house right away?
No. In Arizona the county does not sell your house for unpaid taxes. It sells a tax lien at a sale held each February. The lien buyer earns interest, and you can still pay off the lien. The buyer cannot start a court case to foreclose your right to redeem until three years after the sale. That gives you time to pay or to sell the house and clear the lien at closing.
How fast can a foreclosure happen in Arizona?
Most Arizona home loans use a deed of trust, so foreclosure usually happens out of court through a trustee’s sale. The sale can be held no sooner than the 91st day after the notice of sale is recorded. That is roughly three months. If you get a notice of trustee’s sale, the date is set, and selling before that date is one way to protect any equity you have.
