Redfin cited a $425,000 median sale price for March 2026, up 3.7% year over year, at $222/sqft (down 1.1% YoY) -- a real, moderate appreciation trend, genuinely different from Surprise's essentially flat market or the softening seen in some other markets in this dataset (retrieved 2026-08-24).

The most affordable of the three West Valley cities in this build
At $425,000, Avondale's median runs below both Surprise's $435,000 and Goodyear's $475,000-$480,000 -- a real, disclosed price gap across this dataset's three West Valley cities, consistent with Avondale's more purely working/middle-class family-suburb character.
