Topock Housing Update: Spotlight on ZIP 86436 and Active Land Listings

Topock’s 86436 ZIP code continues to draw attention after being ranked among the nation’s hottest housing markets in early 2026, highlighting renewed interest in this Colorado River community.

Top takeaways

• ZIP 86436 was recently ranked among the top five hottest U.S. housing markets.
• Median listing price on Realtor.com is about $101,950.
• Recent activity is concentrated in vacant land and buildable lots.

Market snapshot

A February 8, 2026 report in the Phoenix Business Journal noted that Topock’s 86436 ZIP ranked fourth-hottest nationally in the first quarter, with sales prices up sharply since 2020. While that reflects longer-term momentum, current listing data suggests a small, niche market with wide price ranges.

On Realtor.com, the median listing home price in Topock is about $101,950, underscoring the area’s relative affordability compared with larger Arizona metros. Earlier data from mid-2025 showed a median sold price of $345,000 in June, though that figure reflected a small sample and month-to-month swings typical of low-inventory markets.

What’s for sale

Inventory is dominated by land, with multiple parcels positioned for manufactured or site-built homes:

• A 0.24-acre lot on Sierra Vista Drive listed at $28,000 in February 2026.
• A roughly 9,100-square-foot lot on Tule Drive listed at $35,000.
• Larger acreage, including a 10-acre parcel on Polaris Road listed at $15,000 and an 83-acre parcel on Route 66 at $1,450,000.

These listings point to continued interest in custom builds, seasonal properties, and investment land near the river and historic Route 66 corridor.

Rental and affordability notes

Comprehensive apartment data is limited, and RentCafe currently lists no large multifamily averages for Topock, reflecting the area’s primarily single-family and manufactured housing mix. Cost-of-living estimates show Topock below the Arizona average overall, though housing costs remain a key driver locally.
