The Silverleaf Digest · August 2026
August, behind the gates.
Fourteen homes are actively listed behind the gates, plus four homesites and seven pending. The board looks thin at the top and busy in the middle — nothing at all is listed between $9.49M and $18.9M right now. That isn't the top of the market softening; it's August. Those estates came off for the summer, several of them we walked in April, and their owners have not changed their minds about price. Expect the autumn board to look very different.
$427M
Traded behind the gates · last 12 months
Two things stand out. First, this is a genuinely liquid market: $427 million changed hands behind these gates in twelve months, at an average of 96% of asking — and five homes sold above ask, one of them $1.47M above. Several closed inside three weeks. Priced properly, Silverleaf trades, and it trades close to the number.
Second, the exception proves it. Over the same period 13 listings expired and 34 were cancelled, and they were not the cheap ones — they averaged roughly $10M against $5.93M for the homes that closed. This market rewards the right number and is unforgiving of the wrong one. At this level that difference isn't a few percent.

Marta’s Picks

10719 E Rimrock Drive · Upper Canyon
6 bed · 10 bath · 13,961 sqft · 151 days on market · Active
MARTA'S TAKE
Nearly 14,000 square feet on the mountainside, and for the moment the only listing standing between $9.49M and the $37M outlier. Above $15M, Silverleaf becomes a negotiation between two or three families a year, and those conversations rarely begin on a portal. The twelve-month record makes the point: the highest closed sale behind these gates was $19.05M, and it took 227 days.

4 bed · 6 bath · 5,513 sqft · 284 days on market · Active
MARTA'S TAKE
Fully furnished, and the rare part — a golf membership available. In a small enclave beside the Club that combination doesn't usually wait this long. It opened at $6.5M and has since moved to $6,295,000, which against an average sale-to-list of 96% tells you roughly where this ends. Worth watching what it takes to close the gap.
OPEN HOUSE
$4,750,000
18821 N 97th Way · Parcel T7
5 bed · 6 bath · 5,845 sqft · 130 days on market · Active
MARTA'S TAKE
This one and 18838 N 97th Place are both asking exactly $4,750,000, about three hundred square feet apart, on the same parcel. When two neighbours land on an identical number, the band is being set by the market rather than by either seller. Note the difference underneath: this one came down from $5M, the other opened where it stands. Open house on the 22nd.
$7,250,000
11519 E Del Cielo Drive · Upper Canyon · 14.23 acres
400 days on market · Active
MARTA'S TAKE
Four homesites are available behind the gates right now, from 4.79 to 30.18 acres. That is a lot of Silverleaf dirt on the market at once — and it is the quiet feature of a summer board, because land never goes off for the season. Nobody is living on it.

18720 N 101st Street 4015 · ICON at Silverleaf
3 bed · 4 bath · 3,157 sqft · 11 days on market · Active
MARTA'S TAKE
ICON keeps adding the one thing Silverleaf historically didn't have: a true lock-and-leave behind the same gates, elevator, no yard to think about. Seven properties are pending behind the gates and five of them are ICON units. It is the fastest-moving product in the community by a distance, and a different buyer entirely from the canyon estates.

The part the portals can't show you
Some of what will trade behind these gates in the next few months is signed, or nearly signed, and deliberately not public yet — and the estates that came off for the summer will come back before they are searchable again. By the time a listing at this level shows up on a portal, the people who were going to move first already have. We can't publish what isn't public. We can tell you about it on the phone.
