Homes for Sale in Florence, AZ — Josh Bernal, REALTOR®
Florence is one of Arizona’s oldest towns and one of the more interesting Pinal County markets — a mix of historic downtown homes, newer master-planned communities like Anthem at Merrill Ranch, and rural acreage on the outskirts. Each requires a different approach.
I’m Josh Bernal, REALTOR® with Yost Realty Group at RE/MAX Casa Grande, and I work Florence regularly for buyers and sellers.
The three Florence markets
- Historic downtown Florence. Older homes, character, smaller lots. Inspection due diligence matters more here than almost anywhere else in Pinal County.
- Anthem at Merrill Ranch. Newer master-planned 55+ active adult community with golf and amenities, popular with out-of-state buyers.
- Rural Florence. Acreage, often well/septic. See similar guidance to Arizona City — these are not standard suburban transactions.
What I do for Florence buyers and sellers
Full-service representation through Yost Realty Group at RE/MAX Casa Grande. Whether you’re buying a historic Florence home that needs inspection scrutiny, or selling acreage that needs proper comp analysis, the work is the same: honest assessment, real data, and a structured process from first call to closing.
Frequently asked questions about buying or selling in Florence
How much do homes cost in Florence, AZ?
Florence covers a wide price range because it has two distinct sides: the historic town center with character homes, and planned communities like Anthem at Merrill Ranch and Florence Gardens with newer construction and amenities. I can send sold comps for whichever pocket fits your budget.
What's the difference between historic Florence and the planned communities?
The historic center is one of Arizona's oldest towns, with older character homes and a real downtown. Anthem at Merrill Ranch and Florence Gardens offer newer builds, clubhouses, and (at Anthem) golf. Which fits depends on what you want and your budget.
Can I buy in Florence with little or no money down?
Possibly. VA loans offer zero down for eligible veterans, Arizona down-payment-assistance programs may apply, and some areas qualify for USDA financing. I'll connect you with a local lender to confirm for the specific property.
How far is Florence from Casa Grande and the Phoenix metro?
It's an easy drive to Casa Grande and to the broader Phoenix metro via the 79 and the 60, which makes it a practical option for commuters and remote buyers alike.
