The month week by week

Per ARMLS as of the October 31 pull. The first three windows match their published counts. October 22 to 31 is folded into this report.

The last ten days carried 50 of the month’s 121 closings at a lower median, $326,058, and the quickest median time on market of the four windows. The weekly reports carry the detail: October 1 to 7 closings, October 8 to 14 closings, and October 15 to 21 closings.

Sold prices by subdivision

Fewer than three closings: Anderson Farms, Homestead, and Maricopa Meadows (two each); Acacia Crossings, Moonlight, Papago Butte Ranchos, Santa Rosa Crossing, Smith Farms, The Trails at Tortosa, and Thunderbird Farms (one each); plus three homes on rural land with no subdivision recorded. Sales in Rancho El Dorado Phase III list under The Lakes at Rancho El Dorado, their own subdivision. Individual sales, not community values.

Province: the most closings, slow at the median

Province home sales in October numbered 14, more than any other community, at a $353,000 median. The median sale took 125 days. The spread inside Province was wide: one sale went under contract in 7 days, and another took 394 days and closed at 89.7 percent of its original asking price, per its ARMLS record. Province, the 55+ community, is built out, so every sale there is a resale.

Glennwilde: priced to the market, sold in weeks

Six Glennwilde sold homes closed at a $386,800 median in 28.5 days, five of them at or above their original asking price. Two went under contract in 4 days.

The Lakes at Rancho El Dorado: builders beside resales

The Lakes closed 10 homes at a $368,000 median in 38.5 days: five builder homes at $371,000 to $445,995, and five resales from $305,000 to $365,000. One of the resales was a short sale that closed after 241 days.

New construction vs. resale

Per ARMLS. Four new homes built on rural land and sold by their owners, not a builder ($245,000 to $509,650), are left out of both rows. Builder-direct closings that skip the MLS are not counted.

New construction made up 36 of October’s 121 closings, about 30 percent, down from 41 percent in the September report. In October’s ARMLS closings, builders sold at $185 per square foot and resales at $169, a $16 gap. For a resale seller, that gap is both the case for an established home and the limit on its price. How new builds and resales differ in Maricopa covers the lasting differences.

Are Maricopa sellers cutting prices?

Yes. Of the 58 single-family resale homes that closed in October 2026, per ARMLS, leaving out Province and distressed sales, 37 cut their price at least once before selling, 63.8 percent. The 21 that never cut sold in a median of 35 days at 100 percent of their original asking price. The 37 that cut took 71 days and closed at a median of 92 percent of their original price, $24,000 below where they started.

Per ARMLS, City of Maricopa, excluding new construction, Province, and distressed sales. 750 resale closings January to October 2026; 824 over the same months of 2025.

How did October buyers pay?

FHA loans financed 49 of October’s 121 closings, about 40 percent, per ARMLS. Conventional loans financed 26, cash buyers paid for 20, VA loans financed 18, USDA loans 2, and 6 used other terms, including one seller carryback.

Seller concessions were part of most October sales: 85 of the 121 closings recorded a seller concession toward the buyer’s costs, including 44 of the 49 FHA sales, 29 of the 36 builder sales, and 52 of the 81 resales. The amount in each sale is set in that sale’s contract.

Inventory: 787 homes for sale

As of October 31, ARMLS shows 787 active listings in the City of Maricopa: 574 in 85138 and 213 in 85139, with 219 of them new homes held by builders. The median asking price is $349,999. In the same ARMLS pull, 57.8 percent of active listings have cut their price at least once, with an average cut of about $30,400.

At October’s pace of 121 closings, the homes for sale would take about 6.5 months to sell, down from about 6.8 on October 22, when the count stood at 793 against September’s 117 closings. The listing count barely moved; the pace of closings picked up. The active listings’ median of 64 days describes homes still for sale, not how long a correctly priced home takes. Setting a first price that matches closed sales walks through the method.

Distressed sales

Per ARMLS. Deemed reliable but not warranted.

Five distressed closings recorded in October, about 4 percent of the month’s ARMLS closings, against six in September. Four of the five were lender-owned. If you are behind on payments, help for homeowners behind on payments in Maricopa lays out the options that are still open.

Year to date

Closed sales, City of Maricopa, per ARMLS: 2026 from the October 31, 2026 pull, which includes closings that posted after each monthly report, so the total runs higher than the monthly reports added together.

Through ten months, Maricopa closings are down about 9 percent from 2025, per ARMLS, while the median sold price is down about 1.4 percent, $345,000 against $350,000. October’s drop in volume, about a third, was steeper than the year’s.

What this means if you are thinking about selling

October’s resales, the homes a Maricopa seller competes with, closed at a median of $325,000 and 95.6 percent of their original asking price, per ARMLS. With 787 homes for sale, buyers have plenty to compare, and the October data shows how they chose: resales priced at the market sold in about five weeks at full price, while homes that started high took about twice as long, 71 days, and gave up $24,000. Every Maricopa sold report, weekly and monthly, lives on the market hub.
