Selling Your Home in the Sheaborhood
A selling strategy built around what the sale needs to accomplish for you, before your home goes on the market.
Selling your home in the Sheaborhood: start with the right comparisons
Selling your home in the Sheaborhood takes more care than the ZIP code median suggests. 85028 sale prices in 2026 ran from $330,000 to $4,850,000, with a median of $719,950 (Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service (ARMLS), single-family homes closed January 1 to September 22, 2026). Two homes a few streets apart can differ in lot size, age, view of the preserve and updates, and buyers notice every one of those differences.
A good Sheaborhood price starts with the homes most like yours, not the average, and working out which homes those are is the first thing we do together.

Why Sheaborhood sellers work with me
85028 is one of my four focus ZIP codes. I am an Associate Broker with Coldwell Banker Realty, licensed since 2003, and a Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA). You will see the comparable sales behind my recommendation, and you will understand the number well enough to explain it yourself.
When offers arrive, I lay out price, financing, contingencies, concessions and timing side by side, so you can see which offer is actually strongest.
What to expect when selling in 85028
We start with why you are selling and what the sale needs to accomplish. Then we look at what buyers in your price range will expect. With established homes, the age of the roof, air conditioning and plumbing often comes up in inspection, so knowing their condition before you list lets you decide whether to address them or price with them in mind.
In 2026 the median 85028 home took 40 days to sell and sold for a median 98.5% of list price (Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service (ARMLS), single-family homes closed January 1 to September 22, 2026). Homes that are prepared and priced right tend to do better than that median; homes that are not tend to sit. The full method is on how I prepare a sale.
