What sets a Grayhawk value

Village, gate and fairway decide most Grayhawk comps. Grayhawk Development dates the community 1996 to 2004, so builder, lot and condition separate sales more than age does. Redfin put the median at $1,054,640 for the three months ending July 2026, down 6.0 percent in a year, with a median 81 days on market.

Long market times pull list prices away from closing prices, so the report rests on closed sales. The 85255 median, $1,531,837 (Redfin, August 2026), covers far more than Grayhawk and says little about a Park townhome.

Grayhawk neighborhoods and the comp question in each

The Grayhawk Community Association splits its 31 neighborhoods between two villages, The Park and the Retreat Village; builder and size notes come from neighborhood listing pages.

Raptor Retreat

One of the two guard gated sections of the Retreat Village, wrapped around the Tom Fazio designed Raptor course. Firenze, Volare, Serenity, Los Vientos and both Halcon neighborhoods sit inside, some on larger course lots. A sale from behind the same gate is the first comp Tyler looks for.

Talon Retreat

The second guard gated section surrounds the Talon course, a par 72 by David Graham and Gary Panks. TW Lewis, Geoffrey Edmunds, Cachet Homes and Monterey Homes all built here, so floor plans change from street to street. Fairway lots are compared with other Talon fairway sales first.

The Park

The larger open village has no guard gate, and its 14 neighborhoods share pocket parks, greenbelts, playgrounds and ramadas. Six of them are condo or townhome communities. Product type and sub association dues get matched before any Park sale goes in the grid, and Retreat sales stay out unless adjusted.

Firenze

Camelot Homes built 62 mostly single level semi custom homes here in Raptor Retreat from 2002 to 2004, on lots of 12,000 to 24,000 square feet. Some back the Raptor course and some face the mountains. Lot size and outlook spread values widely inside one small subdivision.

Serenity

Thirty three custom home lots in Raptor Retreat, each about half an acre to a full acre, some with views of the course, the city lights and the mountains. So few homes sell here that the search may reach other custom lots in north Scottsdale, adjusted for land and view.

Cachet at Grayhawk

A double gated community beside the Talon course, with 69 townhomes and 90 villas built 2000 to 2002. Townhome and villa sales are graded in separate grids. A unit that faces the course is set against other course facing units before anything farther from the fairway.

Avante

TW Lewis built Avante inside Talon Retreat, in three floor plans of 2,700 to 3,300 square feet. Many homesites line the 12th and 15th fairways of the Talon course, so a lot on one of those holes is matched with other Talon fairway sales before an interior lot is considered.

Schools and roads around Grayhawk

Grayhawk is in Paradise Valley Unified School District (Grayhawk Elementary, Mountain Trail Middle and Pinnacle High, per ScottsdaleRealEstate.com). Homes on Thompson Peak Parkway or near the public golf club entrance are compared with others that share that traffic.

Appraisal types
Grayhawk appraisal questions

Grayhawk appraisal questions

What does a Grayhawk appraisal cost?

No fee is posted; each address gets its own quote, usually with the next inspection date, within one business day.

Does a golf course lot in Grayhawk appraise higher?

Sometimes. A fairway lot is weighed against matched sales on the same course, and a long fairway view counts differently from a lot beside a tee.

Will a Raptor or Talon Retreat sale be used to value a Park home?

Only when nothing closer has sold. Retreat homes sit behind guard gates and Park homes do not, so a crossover sale gets a stated adjustment.

Can a Grayhawk estate or divorce appraisal use a past date?

Yes. The value can be set as of a date of death or a date the attorneys choose, and the retrospective report is documented to USPAP.
