6. What dues include: Common-area landscaping, community streetscape, walking and biking paths, children's playgrounds, BBQ areas, splash pad maintenance, tennis courts, lake and water feature maintenance, and HOA administrative costs.

Always verify current dues directly with AAM before the contract, since dues can change year to year through HOA board decisions.

Current builders and new construction

Per InMaricopa's HOA directory, the active builders in Sorrento are Starlight Homes and Scott Communities. The community is 96 percent developed, meaning approximately 32 lots remain to be built (821 total minus 789 built).

For buyers considering new construction in Sorrento, key factors include:

1. Builder identity. Confirm which specific builder is offering the floorplan and lot you are considering, since warranty packages and floorplan specifications vary by builder.
2. Floorplan size. One-story floorplans in Sorrento have historically ranged from approximately 1,317 to 2,055 square feet per D.R. Horton's marketing pages.
3. Lot premium. Lakefront lots or lots adjacent to the splash pad or tennis courts may carry premiums.
4. Buyer representation. You can have your own buyer's agent represent you at no cost to you (the builder typically pays commission out of the build budget). For more, see our new construction in Maricopa AZ guide.

With Sorrento nearing completion, the resale market will increasingly be the primary source of inventory. Sellers in Sorrento benefit from positioning themselves against the diminishing new-construction inventory as resale becomes the dominant transaction pathway.

Pricing considerations

Sorrento pricing varies by:

1. New construction versus resale. New construction from Starlight Homes and Scott Communities carries a builder's warranty and current energy efficiency. Resale offers established landscaping and an immediate move-in.
2. Floorplan size. One-story floorplans range across multiple bedroom counts and square footage configurations.
3. Lot position. Lakefront lots, lots near the splash pad, and lots backing to the common area may command premiums.
4. Build year for resale. Sorrento's build years span recent years to the present. Newer builds command higher pricing per square foot.
5. Condition and updates. Resale pricing depends on condition, upgrades, and current market conditions.
