Despite the slowdown, Maricopa continues to grow. The city benefits from relative affordability compared to other parts of the Phoenix area and continues to attract both local and out-of-state buyers. Approximately 29,915 homes have been built in Maricopa, with plans for another 44,526 homes. For buyers, today’s market offers more choices and negotiating leverage. For sellers, success depends on competitive pricing, strong presentation and understanding the competition from new construction. The market is strong and many new faces are coming to Maricopa.

HE MARICOPA HOUSING MARKET has softened compared to 2025, creating more opportunities for buyers while presenting new
challenges for sellers. Home prices have dipped slightly, with the average sales price down about $8,000 from mid-2025 levels. Homes are also taking longer to sell. In 2025, the average home sold in 86 days. Through the first half of 2026, that figure has increased to 91 days, giving buyers more inventory, negotiating power and opportunities to secure concessions. One of the biggest influences on the market remains new construction. Current data suggests 2 in 5 buyers are purchasing a new-build rather than a resale property. That competition has increased pressure on resale sellers. To attract buyers, many homeowners are making updates before listing or offering incentives such as closing cost assistance and mortgage rate buy-downs. Pricing remains one of the most important factors in a successful sale. Homes that went under contract within the first 30 days sold for 98 % of their original list price, while homes that remained on the market for more than 120 days sold for 92% of their original list price.
