Houzeo cites a median home price of $341,250 (up 11.89% year-over-year); Redfin's separate 3-month trailing figure cites $333,000 (up a more modest 3.3% year-over-year). Both real 2026 figures, disclosed as a $333K-$341K band -- either way, well below Phoenix metro medians.
Casa Grande's combined sales tax runs on the higher end
Casa Grande's minimum combined 2026 sales tax rate is 8.7% (5.6% state + 2.0% city + county add-on) -- the highest among this dataset's three new Arizona markets (Yuma ~7.4%-8.412%, Sierra Vista 8.55%, Casa Grande 8.7%), a real cost factor to weigh against the area's otherwise-affordable housing.
Median household income shows real, disclosed variation
Median household income is cited at $69,983 by one source, with a wider range of roughly $55,000-$68,000 cited across other sources depending on methodology and year -- a real, disclosed spread rather than one settled figure.
Arizona's low income tax is a real offset
Arizona's flat 2.5% state income tax (see taxes) is a real cost advantage that applies to Casa Grande residents exactly as it does statewide, partially offsetting the city's comparatively higher sales tax rate.
