Maricopa AZ Sold Homes by Subdivision: September 1 to 7, 2026

Updated September 2026

How many homes sold in Maricopa AZ the first week of September?

19 homes closed escrow in the City of Maricopa between September 1 and September 7, 2026, per ARMLS data pulled on September 9. Every one of them was recorded between Tuesday the 1st and Friday the 4th; nothing posted over the Labor Day weekend, so this is a four-business-day week and the thinnest sample this series has published. Late closings will lift it. The same week last year produced 30 closings, but that week had five business days. 85138 recorded 12 closings and 85139 recorded 7, an unusually large share for the west side, driven by rural acreage sales. August’s count stands at 129 pending any late corrections, which this export could not detect.

What did homes sell for?

The median sold price was $325,000, below August’s $350,000 and the $340,495 median of the same week last year. The average, $376,354, tells a different story only because of one sale: a $1,185,000 custom home on about ten acres of rural 85139 land, 3,680 square feet, built in 2025, with a riding arena, sold in 51 days at 99 percent of its asking price. It is the highest closing in this series to date, and it sits alone; the next-highest sale of the week was $470,000 in Homestead. The median closed home was 2,080 square feet, 15 of the 19 sales were 3 or 4 bedroom homes, and single-level homes outnumbered two-story 13 to 6.

Thirteen of 19 closings landed under $350,000 this week, the heaviest entry-level mix of any window this summer, which is what pulled the median down. Four pool homes closed at a $383,500 median. No golf course lot homes and no basement homes closed. One sale was distressed: a $270,750 short sale in Maricopa Meadows after 124 days.

The subdivision story: who sold, how fast, and for what

Twelve communities plus one custom acreage property recorded closings. With one to four sales each, these are data points, not values for your house. The contrasts carry the lesson.

Single closings: The Villages at Rancho El Dorado ($417,000, 6 days), Alterra ($225,000, 9 days), Rancho Mirage ($325,000), Hidden Valley ($255,000), Amarillo Creek ($309,990), Province ($344,900, 248 days), El Rancho Santa Rosa ($329,192, 148 days), Acacia Crossings ($282,000, 208 days), and one custom acreage home ($1,185,000, 51 days). Individual sales, not community values.

The $1,185,000 sale and what it does and does not mean

A custom home on roughly ten acres with a riding arena is a different product from anything in a master-planned community, and its buyer pool is different too. It matters for two reasons. First, it shows the top of the Maricopa market has real demand when the product is rare: 51 days, 99 percent of asking, no price cut. Second, it is a reminder that citywide averages can mislead. Strip it out and the week’s average falls from $376,000 to about $331,000. The median already does that work, which is why this series leads with medians.

Speed at both ends, again

The Villages at Rancho El Dorado moved a 2,997 square foot pool home in 6 days at $417,000. Alterra homes produced the week’s fastest resale, 9 days at $225,000. Homestead home sales ran a 13.5-day median across two closings, including a $470,000 pool home in 17 days. At the other pole, Province, the 55 plus community, closed one sale after 248 days, Acacia Crossings after 208, and an El Rancho Santa Rosa new build after 148. The pattern the series has tracked since July held in the thinnest week yet: correctly priced homes in the right condition moved within two weeks, and mispriced homes waited out entire seasons.

Rancho El Dorado: four sales, four timelines

The city’s largest community posted four closings between $315,000 and $440,000, with days on market of 53, 82, 99, and 142. The 2020-built home at $440,000 sold fastest; a 2007 pool home took 142 days to bring $342,000. Same community, four different waits, sorted by product and pricing rather than location.

Inventory check: 712 homes for sale

As of September 9, ARMLS shows 712 active listings in the City of Maricopa, at a median asking price of $350,000. 57.4 percent of them have already taken at least one price reduction, averaging about $23,000 off the original ask. Against August’s 129 closings, that is roughly 5.5 months of supply, up from about 4.6 months at the end of August, when there were fewer listings and July’s stronger closing count in the denominator.

Two cautions on reading that. Active listings’ median days on market (60) describes unsold inventory, not how long a correctly priced home takes to sell; the two are different numbers. And months of supply moves with the prior month’s closings, so a slow August inflates it. What the number does say plainly: a buyer in Maricopa this month can choose from more homes than at any point this summer, and more than half of them have already cut price once. That is the competitive set every new listing enters. Pricing a home into a 700-listing market covers what that means for a first price.

New builds vs resale

Builder new construction reported to ARMLS only; the custom acreage sale is listed separately so it does not distort the builder figures.

Four builder homes closed at a $317,495 median and $206 per square foot, against $154 for resale, a wider per-foot gap than August’s $16 largely because two of the four were small plans (1,080 and 1,402 square feet) that carry high per-foot prices. A four-sale sample says little on its own; the August month-end figures ($186 new versus $170 resale across 129 closings) remain the better benchmark for a resale seller sizing up builder competition.

Asking price and time on market

The median closing took 82 days, up from August’s 63-day median and close to the 88.5 days of the same week last year. The median sale settled at 99.4 percent of final asking price and 98.5 percent of original asking price, meaning this week’s sellers, on the whole, priced closer to the mark from the start than August’s did: less cut from the original ask, but a small negotiation at the end. Nineteen sales is too few to call a shift. The direction, a slower week with fuller pricing discipline, is consistent with a market where the sellers who remain are the ones who listened to the comps.

What this means if you are thinking about selling

The first week of September was thin, slow, and split: a record sale at the top, an entry-level mix at the median, and a 712-listing inventory with more than half already reduced. None of that argues for waiting, and all of it argues for entering the market with a price that already accounts for the competition, because the competition is now larger than at any point this summer. The homes that sold in 6, 9, 10, and 17 days this week were not lucky; they were priced to their community’s recent closings on day one. The August 2026 month-end report has the full-month benchmarks, and the full Maricopa market picture is updated every week.
