Village and type of home set most DC Ranch values. Redfin's median sale price was $2,698,697 for the three months ending August 2026, up 88.1 percent in a year. That jump reflects which homes closed: a Desert Camp townhome and a Silverleaf estate share a ZIP and little else.
All of 85255 showed $1,531,837 over those months (Redfin), and FHA loans top out at $557,750 here in 2026 (homebuyer.com). Tyler won't value a DC Ranch home from a price per square foot average; comps come from the same village and kind of home.
The DC Ranch roster puts more than 40 neighborhoods in four villages.
Custom estates in Spanish and Mediterranean Revival styles below the McDowell Mountains, behind three guard gated entrances off Thompson Peak Parkway. Lots run from a third of an acre to more than 10 acres. Lot size, elevation and frontage on the Tom Weiskopf course outweigh square footage, so Tyler matches on all three.
One of the two original villages, bounded by Pima Road and the Reata Wash, with first residents in 1997. Styles include Western farmhouse, ranch, Spanish Eclectic, Pueblo and Prairie. A home on the Tom Lehman and John Fought course at The Country Club at DC Ranch is compared with other course lots before interior ones.
East of Pima Road and south of Thompson Peak Parkway, opened in 1997 and home to Market Street. Single family houses, attached patio homes, condos and townhomes all sit here. Each type gets its own comps, and a townhome sale never stands in for a detached house in the report.
East of Pima Road and south of Legacy Boulevard. Every neighborhood has its own private gate, a park and natural washes, and custom houses share the village with builder homes and attached homes. Tyler checks whether each comp was custom or builder built before making any adjustment.
The high ground on the east side of Silverleaf, where lots get bigger as the elevation rises and hillside estates look back over the city. A city view from a hillside lot is hard to price from flatter Silverleaf sales, so comps come from this canyon and Horseshoe Canyon first.
DC Ranch is zoned for Scottsdale Unified, with Copper Ridge School by the Windgate Pass gate and Chaparral High School for grades 9 to 12 (Homes.com). In Desert Camp, Tyler notes distance to Market Street; in Silverleaf, elevation on the McDowell hillsides.

Against other Silverleaf sales on the Weiskopf course first. Tyler measures any golf difference from matched sales rather than a set premium.
Yes. The effective date can be the date of death or one the attorney sets, with comps that closed near it, documented to USPAP.
