51 homes closed escrow in the City of Maricopa between July 1 and July 14, 2026, across zip codes 85138 and 85139, per ARMLS data pulled July 14, 2026. That count includes resales, new construction closings reported to the MLS, and a small number of distressed sales. For context, the same 14-day window last year produced 49 closings, and June 1 to 14, 2026, produced 60. Closing volume in this window is holding close to last year’s pace.
One note on the data: ARMLS counts continue to update as late closings post, so these figures are a snapshot as of the pull date, not a final tally. Builder closings that never hit the MLS are not included.
The median sold price for the 14-day window was $355,000. The average was roughly $359,400. The lowest closing was $203,218, a HUD-owned sale in Rancho El Dorado, and the highest was $667,000 in Province, a 2,606-square-foot home with a private pool. The median closed home was 2,109 square feet, and 43 of the 51 sales were 3 or 4-bedroom homes. Single-level homes outnumbered two-story homes 36 to 15.
Median price per square foot was $173. The same window in July 2025 ran about $195 per square foot in this dataset, so buyers paid roughly $21 less per foot this year. Small windows are noisy and a mix of homes matters, but the direction is consistent with what closed data has shown through 2026: pricing discipline is what gets Maricopa homes sold.

Closed sales, City of Maricopa, July 1 to 14, 2026, per ARMLS.
More than half of all closings landed between $300,000 and $400,000. That band is where buyer demand is deepest right now, and it is also where accurate pricing matters most, because buyers in that range have the most alternatives to compare against. You can see how this two-week snapshot fits the longer trend in our Maricopa market report.
| Zip code, Closings, Median sold price, Median $/sqft, Median days on market | ||||
| 85138 | 39 | $348,990 | $175 | 63 |
| 85139 | 12 | $360,000 | $166 | 93 |
85139’s higher median reflects its mix this window, including new builds in Amarillo Creek and larger-lot properties, not a premium over 85138 on a per-square-foot basis.
85138 carried about three-quarters of the closing volume, which tracks with its larger share of the city’s rooftops. 85139 homes took longer to close this window, a median of 93 days on market versus 63 in 85138. Sellers on the west side should plan for a longer runway or sharper initial pricing. Neighborhood-level context for each zip is in our 85138 neighborhood comparison and our 85139 neighborhood comparison.
Closings were spread across 21 communities. Where a community had only one or two closings, the figures below are individual sale prices, not the community's market value. Treat small samples as data points, not appraisals.

| Tortosa | 2 | n/a | $210,000 and $272,000 |
Rancho El Dorado’s low end reflects one HUD-owned sale at $203,218; its other seven closings ranged from $290,000 to $448,900. Tortosa’s two closings included a pre-foreclosure sale at $210,000.
Single closings also posted in Province ($667,000, the top sale of the window), Sorrento ($369,990, new build), Maricopa Meadows ($370,000), Alterra ($355,000), Desert Passage ($275,000), Acacia Crossings ($299,900), The Trails ($325,000), Elena Trails ($348,990, new build), Rancho Mirage ($392,990, new build), El Rancho Santa Rosa ($414,990, new build), and Saddleback Farms ($265,000, a manufactured home on acreage). One unsubdivided property on roughly 4.5 acres closed at $530,000.

New build closings reported to ARMLS only. Builder-direct closings that skip the MLS are not counted here.
New builds carried a premium of roughly $19 per square foot over resale this window. Amarillo Creek accounted for four of the eight new-build closings, with single closings in Rancho Mirage, El Rancho Santa Rosa, Elena Trails, and Sorrento. Builders on those closings included Ashton Woods, Starlight Homes, D.R. Horton, Meritage Homes, and Pulte. Resale sellers competing near active builder communities should expect buyers to compare their home to new inventory and its incentives, making condition and pricing strategy the two levers that matter.
Private pools. 15 of the 51 closings had a private pool, and they sold at a median of $400,000 versus $324,500 for homes without one. That gap is not all pool: pool homes in this window also skewed larger and more upgraded. A pool helps, but it does not set the price on its own. The full breakdown is in the pool home value question.
Golf course lots. Two golf course lot homes closed in Rancho El Dorado at $435,000 and $448,900. Both landed in the top quarter of the window’s price range, consistent with the premium golf frontage reflected in Rancho El Dorado resale data.
Basements. Zero of the 51 closings had a basement. Basement homes exist in Maricopa, but they are rare, and none were traded in this window. When one does list, it competes in a thin niche with little comp data, which cuts both ways on pricing.
Yes, four of the 51 closings, about 8 percent, carried a distressed designation in ARMLS: one short sale in Amarillo Creek at $275,000, one HUD-owned sale in Rancho El Dorado at $203,218, one lender-owned sale in Homestead North at $395,000, and one pre-foreclosure sale in Tortosa at $210,000. Distressed sales remain a small slice of the Maricopa market, but they matter for two reasons. First, they can drag community-level medians in small samples, as the Rancho El Dorado and Tortosa figures above show. Second, if you are behind on payments or facing foreclosure, you have options beyond letting the lender take the home. That situation has its own process and timelines: see Maricopa short sale help.
The median closing in this window took 68 days on market. New builds ran slightly faster at 63 days. Homes closed at a median of 100 percent of their final list price, but only 95.7 percent of their original list price, and resales alone closed at 94.6 percent of original list. Read those two numbers together: homes that eventually sold typically took a price reduction first, then sold at the adjusted number. The market is paying the right price, not the hopeful one. Overpricing costs sellers twice, once in the reduction and again in the extra weeks of carrying costs while the listing ages. The method for turning a value range into a list price is its own discipline.
This window shows a functioning market with a clear message: correctly priced Maricopa homes are closing, buyers are deepest between $300,000 and $400,000, and the gap between original list price and sold price is where sellers win or lose. A pricing strategy built on closed data from your own community, adjusted for pool, lot, condition, and nearby new-build competition, is the difference between selling in the first month and chasing the market down.
