After all, Arizona made its way into top 100 for the first time ever with Paradise Valley\u2019s 85253, while Nevada was represented by two zips for the first time: 89413 and 89402 in the Lake Tahoe enclaves of Glenbrook and Crystal Bay, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>To determine the 50 most expensive desert states zip codes in 2019, we analyzed residential sales that occurred between January 1, 2019, and November 5, 2019, calculating the median sale price for each zip code. Due to two ties, our ranking actually includes 52 zips \u2013 25 from Nevada and 27 from Arizona. For the purposes of this study, we defined the desert states as Nevada and Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, calculating medians based on sale prices rather than asking prices more accurately reflects the reality on the ground, as the final sale price can easily be higher than the initial asking figure in competitive markets that spur bidding wars. It also circumvents properties that linger on the market for extended periods of time from skewing the figures.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Paradise_Valley_Zip_Priciest_in_Arizona_Lake_Tahoe_Zips_Leads_Nevada\"><\/span><strong>Paradise Valley Zip Priciest in Arizona, Lake Tahoe Zips Leads Nevada<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Of the 50 most expensive desert states zips, three stand out in particular: Glenbrook\u2019s 89413, Crystal Bay\u2019s 89402 and Paradise Valley\u2019s 85253.

Prices, on the other hand, expanded in all seven.

In particular, 85262 \u2013 Scottsdale\u2019s most expensive zip code and the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> priciest in Arizona \u2013 featured a median sale price of $815,000. As a result, it tied with 89411 in Genoa, NV, as the 5<sup>th<\/sup> most expensive desert states zip code. In fact, six out of the seven zips that Scottsdale contributed to the list ranked among Arizona\u2019s 10 most expensive zip codes.<\/p>\n<p>As for Phoenix, its most expensive zip code was 85018 with a median sale price of $531,000. This East Phoenix zip was the city\u2019s only one to rank among Arizona\u2019s 10 most expensive, claiming #7.

The exception, of course, was Glenbrook\u2019s 89413, which remained unchallenged as Nevada\u2019s #1 most expensive zip and the priciest desert states zip.
