Maricopa AZ Sold Homes and Home Values: July 2026 Month-End Report

Updated August 2026

How many homes sold in Maricopa AZ in July 2026?

148 homes closed escrow in the City of Maricopa in July 2026, across zip codes 85138 and 85139, per ARMLS data pulled August 1. That is essentially even with the 150 closings of July 2025, a difference of under 2 percent, and up from 143 in June 2026. This report has been updated with closings that posted to the MLS after the initial evening pull. Small further drift is possible as stragglers record, which is exactly why every report in this series carries its pull date.

The count includes 104 resales, 44 new-construction closings reported to the MLS, and eight distressed sales. Builder closings that never hit the MLS are not counted.

What changed since the July 21 update?

Two corrections worth stating plainly. First, the July 21, 2026 sold report counted 87 closings for July 1 to 21. That window now reads 85, not because sales fell through, but because two closing dates were corrected in the MLS: a $339,000 Glennwilde sale and a $410,000 Smith Farms sale both moved from July 21 to July 27 and 28. Same sales, same month, later dates.

Second, the speed story tightened at month end. Through July 21, homes were closing about 10 days faster than the same window last year. The final 10 days of July ran slower, a median of 81 days on market across their 63 closings, and the full month landed at 70 days against 72.5 in July 2025. The mid-month speed advantage was real, and most of it did not survive the month. Both facts belong in the record.

What did homes sell for in July 2026?

The median sold price for July was $355,888, effectively flat against $359,512 in July 2025, a difference of about 1 percent. The average was roughly $364,000. The lowest closing was $135,000, a 1986 manufactured home on the Hidden Valley acreage side, and the highest was $667,000 in Province. The median closed home was 2,045 square feet, 116 of the 148 sales were 3 or 4 bedroom homes, and single-level homes outnumbered two-story 110 to 38.

Median price per square foot came in at $180, against about $186 in July 2025, a decline of roughly 3 percent. Worth noting: the final 10 days of the month posted a lower median, $351,900, but a higher price per foot, about $186. That is a mix shift, smaller homes closing at firmer per-foot pricing, not a late-month drop in values. It is exactly why a single monthly median should never price an individual house.

Closed sales, City of Maricopa, July 1 to 31, 2026, per ARMLS, pulled August 1, 2026.

Half of the month, 75 of 148 closings, landed between $300,000 and $400,000, with meaningful shoulders on both sides: 30 sales under $300,000 and 9 above $500,000. The longer trend behind this month sits in current Maricopa market conditions.

How do 85138 and 85139 compare?

Medians reflect each zip’s mix of homes for the month, not a like-for-like premium.

85138 carried nearly 80 percent of the month’s volume. 85139’s higher median reflects its July mix, including new builds and acreage properties, with price per square foot nearly identical between the two zips. The most instructive change in this revision is time: through two mid-month reports, 85139 looked far slower, 87 days against 62 at one point. The final tally has 85139 at 68 days and 85138 at 72, because several late-posting west-side closings, including quick new-build sales in Moonlight, erased the gap entirely. Zip-level patterns in small windows are provisional, and this month proved it. Zip-level context lives in where to live in 85138 and where to live in 85139.

Which subdivisions had closed sales in July 2026?

Closings posted in more than 30 communities and acreage areas. Small samples remain data points, not community values, and July offers a textbook case: Province recorded five closings ranging from $230,000 to $667,000, producing a $292,000 median that says more about which floor plans happened to close than about the community.

Rancho El Dorado’s low end reflects one HUD-owned sale at $203,218. Tortosa’s median reflects a $210,000 pre-foreclosure sale in a five-sale sample. Sorrento’s six sales include a $287,500 pre-foreclosure sale and a $295,500 lender-owned sale. Province’s five sales spanned floor plans from villas to its largest homes.

Single closings also posted in Santa Rosa Springs ($420,000), Maricopa Meadows ($370,000), The Trails ($325,000), Palo Verde Foothills ($299,000), two Anderson Farms new-build products ($259,000 and $297,690), Desert Passage ($275,000), and two unsubdivided parcels ($495,000 and $530,000). Homes in Rancho El Dorado led the city for the third straight report with 25 closings, about 17 percent of the entire month.

New builds vs resale: who closed higher in July?

New build closings reported to ARMLS only. Builder-direct closings that skip the MLS are not counted here.

New construction took 44 of the month’s 148 closings, nearly 30 percent of the market, at a premium of about $18 per square foot over resale. The month-end pattern also flipped the mid-month one: across the full month, new builds sold faster than resale, 58 days against 77, a gap of nearly three weeks. Amarillo Creek and the Rancho Mirage Estates parcels led with 9 new-build closings each, followed by Elena Trails with 6 and Rancho El Dorado Phase III parcels and Moonlight with 5 each. Builders on the month’s closings included D.R. Horton with 13, Meritage Homes with 8, Ashton Woods with 5, Starlight Homes and Century Communities with 4 each, and Lennar, Pulte, Clayton, Richmond American, Dream Finders, and CastleRock rounding out the list. With nearly a third of buyers choosing new, resale sellers are competing with builder inventory and incentives in most price bands, which makes how to set a Maricopa list price that sells required reading before going live.

What about pools, golf course lots, basements, and acreage?

Private pools. 32 of the 148 closings had a private pool, and they sold at a median of $410,750 versus $342,351 for the 116 homes without one. The usual caveat holds: pool homes skew larger and more upgraded, so the gap is not all pool. What a pool is worth in Maricopa breaks down how the value actually gets counted.

Golf course lots. Four golf course lot homes closed in July, all in Rancho El Dorado, at $345,000, $372,000, $435,000, and $448,900.

Basements. Zero. All 148 July closings were homes without basements. The niche stayed thin for the entire month.

Acreage and county-area properties. The month’s acreage segment carried Maricopa addresses across the Hidden Valley area, three sales from a $135,000 manufactured home to $400,000, plus two Thunderbird Farms sales at $290,000 and $407,000, two Saddleback Farms sales at $265,000 and $270,000, and two unsubdivided parcels at $495,000 and $530,000. Acreage trades on land, wells, outbuildings, and access, so city-lot comps do not transfer.

Were there short sales or foreclosures in July 2026?

Eight of the 148 closings carried a distressed designation, about 5 percent of the month: three short sales ($275,000 in Amarillo Creek, $320,000 in Homestead North, and $280,000 in Smith Farms), two lender-owned sales ($395,000 in Homestead North and $295,500 in Sorrento), one HUD-owned sale ($203,218 in Rancho El Dorado), and two pre-foreclosure sales ($210,000 in Tortosa and $287,500 in Sorrento). Homestead North and Sorrento each logged two of the eight, and four of the eight closed in the final ten days of the month. Distress remains a small slice of this market, but it picked up as July ended rather than fading. If you are behind on payments, waiting shrinks your options.

How fast did homes sell, and did sellers get asking price?

The median July closing took 70 days on market, slightly faster than July 2025 at 72.5. Homes closed at a median of 100 percent of their final list price but 96.4 percent of their original list price, with resales at 95.1 percent of original. Across three reports in this series, that spread has not moved: the typical path to a closing still runs through a price reduction, and the sellers who avoided it were the ones whose first price matched the closed comps. The month-end version of the lesson is sharper than the mid-month one, because the late-July slowdown took back most of the speed advantage. When the market stops handing out fast sales, accurate pricing is the only lever a seller still holds.

What this means if you are thinking about selling

July 2026 closed with volume essentially even with last year, 148 closings against 150 and up from 143 in June, the median price flat, price per square foot down about 3 percent, and half of all sales between $300,000 and $400,000. Nearly a third of buyers chose new construction, and new builds outpaced resale on speed by almost three weeks. None of that is a reason for a correctly priced home to wait, and all of it raises the cost of guessing: in a market with abundant builder competition, the listing priced off 2025 memories or an online estimate is the one that funds someone else’s negotiation.
