How to decide if your home is near Cotton Lane, Van Buren or MC 85. - Author: Kasandra Chavez - Tags: Goodyear, Home Selling **Should I sell my Goodyear home before the Loop 303 construction is finished, or wait for the new freeway connection if my home is near Cotton Lane, Van Buren, or MC 85?** **Waiting for the new freeway connection means holding your Goodyear home roughly four more years, not waiting out a season. ADOT started the Van Buren Street to MC 85 segment in mid-June 2026 and expects about four years of work. If you'd happily own the home until around 2030 anyway, holding is a reasonable plan. If your life calls for a move in the next year or two, sell on your own timeline, price against the Goodyear sales happening now, and disclose the project plainly.** If you own near Cotton Lane, you've watched the corridor change almost weekly since June, and it makes sense to wonder whether listing now means selling at the worst possible moment. That worry is understandable, and it deserves a real answer rather than a slogan about timing the market. Here's the market you'd be listing into. As of September 17, 2026, the Cromford Market Index for Goodyear read 75.8, in buyer's-market territory and down about 5% from a month earlier. The Cromford Report also noted that demand weakened in 15 of the 18 cities it tracks over the same month. Buyers have choices right now, which means pricing and presentation carry more weight than they did a few years ago. My job is to help you separate what the construction actually changes from what it doesn't, so the decision rests on your plans instead of the traffic cones. ## How Long Is the Loop 303 Construction Near Cotton Lane, Van Buren and MC 85? The Loop 303 extension in Goodyear runs about four years from its mid-June 2026 start, so the new freeway between Van Buren Street and MC 85 is expected around 2030\. The $613 million project follows much of the current Cotton Lane alignment and is built in phases. According to the [ADOT project page for Loop 303, MC 85 to Van Buren Street](https://azdot.gov/projects/central-district-projects/l303-mc85-van-buren?ref=blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com), the sequence looks like this for owners along the Goodyear corridor: 1 **Clearing and earthwork (from mid-2026)** Clearing began in June; earthwork and soil compaction started in late August at Elwood Street and move north before heading south. 2 **New northbound frontage road (through fall 2027)** ADOT expects the new frontage road to be complete in fall 2027. 3 **Traffic shift and freeway build** Traffic moves onto the frontage road while the elevated freeway is built; some cross streets close for about 60 days. 4 **Extension complete (around 2030)** Freeway open from Van Buren Street to a signalized intersection at MC 85, with interchanges at Yuma Road and Lower Buckeye Road/Elwood Street. 5 **SR 30 connection (scheduled to start FY2033)** A separate project that will connect to the Loop 303 extension later. Restrictions mostly happen overnight and on weekends, and ADOT notes that access to businesses and residences will be maintained throughout. ## Is Waiting for the Loop 303 Extension a Four-Year Hold Decision? Yes. Waiting until the Loop 303 extension opens means keeping your Goodyear home until roughly 2030, and waiting for the SR 30 connection means longer still, since ADOT has scheduled that segment between Loop 303 and Estrella Parkway to begin construction in fiscal year 2033. That reframes the question in a useful way. Instead of asking whether now is a bad time to sell, ask whether you'd buy your own home today and hold it for four years. If you'd stay anyway, because the home fits your family, your work and your budget, then holding through the construction is simply living your life. If you'd be staying only to wait for the freeway, you're carrying mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, HOA dues and upkeep for years in exchange for a benefit nobody can put a number on. This is usually where I slow sellers down, because the finished freeway doesn't arrive as a line item on an appraisal. Appraisals run on comparable sales, so whatever the new road does for your neighborhood shows up in nearby sales after buyers experience it, not before. ## How Should I Price My Goodyear Home During Loop 303 Construction? Price your Goodyear home against the comparable sales closing near you now, not against a finished freeway that doesn't exist yet. In a buyer's market, the buyers touring your home can also tour homes across Goodyear that aren't next to an active work zone, including new builds. That doesn't mean you have to discount heavily. It means the construction becomes part of the comparison buyers make, so your price and condition need to hold up next to the alternatives. I walk through how I build that number in [how much to list your West Valley home for](https://blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com/how-much-should-i-list-my-west-valley-home-for/). What I'd avoid is marketing future freeway access as a reason to pay more today. State it as a fact about the area, and let the buyer draw their own conclusion.

The SPDS asks "are you aware" questions about conditions near the property, and a publicly announced ADOT project on your corridor fits squarely inside them. The safest disclosure names the project, states what you know, and points the buyer to ADOT's own project page rather than characterizing the impact yourself. The City of Goodyear also has a separate Cotton Lane roadway project, and if you know about that one it belongs on the form too. I cover the wording question in detail in [what Goodyear sellers need to disclose about Cotton Lane construction](https://blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com/cotton-lane-expansion-spds-disclosure-selling-goodyear-home/). Disclosure exists to protect everyone at the table, and plain facts offered early read as credible to buyers. ## What I Watch For With Sellers Near Cotton Lane For a Goodyear seller near Cotton Lane, Van Buren Street or MC 85, the decision usually turns on the seller's own next move more than on the freeway schedule. I start with where you're going, then work back to when it makes sense to list. When I sit down with a Goodyear owner near the Loop 303 extension, four factors shape the sell-now-or-hold decision more than the construction calendar does: - **Distance from the work:** A Goodyear home backing Cotton Lane competes differently during construction than a home several streets back in the same neighborhood. - **Showing access:** A cross-street closure of about 60 days can change how buyers reach your home, so showing directions need a plan before the listing goes live. - **Your next purchase:** In a buyer's market, your position on the buying side is unusually strong, and that can make selling now more attractive than the construction alone suggests. - **Your real timeline:** A job change, a growing family or a planned downsize has a date attached, and that date matters more than ADOT's. At this stage, I help clients narrow their focus to the sequence of the move itself. If you need to buy before you sell, I explain the options in [contingent offers versus rent-backs in Goodyear](https://blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com/contingent-offer-vs-rent-back-goodyear-az/). ## Frequently Asked Questions **Will Loop 303 construction lower my Goodyear home's value?** Appraisals use comparable sales, so any effect shows up in nearby closed sales rather than automatically. Homes backing Cotton Lane are more exposed during construction than homes farther back. **Should I wait until the Loop 303 extension opens to sell my Goodyear home?** Only if you'd keep the home until around 2030 anyway. Waiting purely for the freeway means carrying your costs for about four years for a benefit no one can quantify today. **Do I have to disclose the Loop 303 construction when I sell in Goodyear?** If you know about it, yes. Name the project on the SPDS, state what you know, and point buyers to ADOT's project page instead of predicting the impact. **When will SR 30 connect to Loop 303 in Goodyear?** ADOT has scheduled construction of the SR 30 segment between Loop 303 and Estrella Parkway to begin in fiscal year 2033, after the Loop 303 extension is complete. **How are Goodyear homes selling right now?** As of September 17, 2026, the Cromford Market Index for Goodyear read 75.8, a buyer's-market reading, down about 5% from the prior month. ## The Bottom Line Selling near the Loop 303 extension in Goodyear isn't a choice between a bad time and a good time. It's a choice between selling on your timeline now and committing to own the home for about four more years. If you'd stay anyway, stay and enjoy the finished road. If your next chapter has a date on it, price against today's Goodyear comps, disclose the project clearly, and use the leverage you'll have as a buyer on the other side. The freeway will open on ADOT's schedule either way, and your plan should run on yours.
