166 as of September 20, 2026, every one of them a 2026 build year. 104 sit in zip code 85138 on the east side of the city and 62 in 85139 on the west. That is 31 more than the 135 listed on July 26, so builders are carrying more standing inventory into the fall than they did in midsummer. Here is the shape of it.
- Price: $255,040 to $497,370, median $367,490
- Size: 969 to 3,498 square feet, median 1,918
- Median price per square foot: about $188
- Under $300,000: 17 homes
- $300,000 to $400,000: 108 homes
- $400,000 and above: 41 homes
- Single-story: 142 homes. Two-story: 24
- Bedrooms: 64 three-bedroom, 82 four-bedroom, 18 five or more
One number worth pausing on: zero of the 166 have a private pool. Builders here deliver the yard unfinished, so you fund and schedule a pool after closing. If a pool at move-in is a requirement, look at Maricopa homes with pools on the resale side instead.

Which Maricopa communities are not building right now?
Several of Maricopa's long-established subdivisions are finished or have no builder inventory on the market. A home in any of these will be a resale, not a new build.
Fully developed: Cobblestone Farms, The Villages at Rancho El Dorado, Maricopa Meadows, Senita, Acacia Crossings, Desert Cedars, and Desert Passage and Smith Farms.
Lots remain, but no builder listings appeared on the MLS as of September 20, 2026: Tortosa, Palo Brea, Province, Homestead, Glennwilde, Alterra, Santa Rosa Crossing, and Santa Rosa Springs. Some of these builders sell from the sales office without listing on the MLS; D.R. Horton is still building in Palo Brea, for example. Community records show undeveloped lots in several of these, so releases can resume. Call if one of them is where you want to be, and we will tell you what is actually planned.
Shopping resale instead? Start with every active Maricopa listing, or narrow to homes under $300K.
Should you bring your own agent to a builder's model home?
Yes, and the timing matters: register your representation on your first visit to the sales office. The salesperson in the model home works for the builder and represents the builder's interests in the transaction. Most builders in Maricopa will honor buyer representation, but many require the agent to be present or registered at first contact. If you walk in alone, you may not be able to add representation later in that community.
Bringing your own agent does not change the builder's base price. What it changes is who reads the purchase contract on your behalf, who tracks the construction schedule against what was promised, and who tells you when an upgrade will not return its cost at resale.
How is buying new construction different from buying a resale home?
The contract is the builder's, not the standard AAR form
Arizona resale transactions typically run on the Arizona Association of REALTORS residential purchase contract. Builders use their own contracts, and the terms around delay, cancellation, deposit forfeiture, and dispute resolution differ from the form you may have used before. Read it before earnest money moves.
The timeline is an estimate, not a closing date
Homes already under construction close on a shorter timeline than to-be-built homes, which depend on plan, permits, trades, and materials. Build your lease-end or listing plans with slack, and confirm the builder's stated completion window in writing.
Incentives usually carry conditions
Closing cost credits and rate buydowns are common in this market, and they are often tied to using the builder's affiliated lender or title company. That trade can be worth taking or not, depending on terms you are offered elsewhere. Compare the whole package, not the headline number.
The yard is usually not finished
Landscaping, fencing, and any pool are typically owner projects after closing in this market. Budget for them up front rather than discovering them the week you move in.
How do we represent you on a new build?
- Registration and representation: we register with the builder at first contact so your representation is documented from the start.
- Contract review: we walk the builder's contract clause by clause, including delay, cancellation, and deposit terms, before you sign.
- Incentive comparison: we compare the builder's incentive package with outside financing so you can see what the conditions actually cost.
- Inspection coordination: we schedule independent inspections at the pre-drywall and final stages and track the punch list to completion.
- Resale perspective: we tell you which upgrades have tended to hold value in Maricopa and which have not, based on what has resold here.
Builder-by-builder detail, incentives, and community pages for every active Maricopa builder are on MaricopaNewHomes.com. Meet the team on our Maricopa real estate agents page, or read more about James Sanson.
What if you need to sell your current home first?
Most builders will not accept a contingent offer, which means the sequence has to be planned rather than improvised. We coordinate the listing timeline with the build timeline so you aren't carrying two payments or scrambling for a rental. Start with a home valuation, or review your options on the selling in Maricopa page.
Common questions about Maricopa new construction
How many new construction homes are for sale in Maricopa, AZ?
As of September 20, 2026, 166 newly built homes were listed for sale in the City of Maricopa through ARMLS, all with a 2026 build year. Of those, 104 are in ZIP code 85138 and 62 are in 85139. Prices ran from $255,040 to $497,370, with a median of $367,490. Builders also sell to-be-built homes that are not always listed on the MLS, so the true number of available options is higher.
Which builders are currently building in Maricopa, AZ?
13 builders had active new construction listings in the City of Maricopa as of September 20, 2026: Meritage Homes, D.R. Horton, Centex and Pulte Homes, Ashton Woods Homes, Century Communities, Dream Finders Homes, Oakwood Homes, Starlight Homes, CastleRock Communities, DRB Homes, Richmond American Homes, Lennar, and Risewell Homes. Builder presence shifts as communities sell out and new parcels open.
What does a new construction home cost in Maricopa, AZ?
Active new construction listings ranged from $255,040 to $497,370 as of September 20, 2026, with a median list price of $367,490 and a median of about $188 per square foot. 17 homes were listed under $300,000, 108 between $300,000 and $400,000, and 41 at $400,000 or above. Prices change with releases and incentives, so confirm current pricing with the builder.
Which Maricopa community has the most new homes available?
Rancho Mirage Estates had the most active new construction listings as of September 20, 2026, with 42, followed by Amarillo Creek with 29 and El Rancho Santa Rosa with 25. Rancho Mirage Estates draws from four builders at once, which is why its count leads the others.
Do new construction homes in Maricopa come with a pool?
Effectively never. All 166 active new construction listings in the City of Maricopa were listed without a private pool as of September 20, 2026. Builders in this market deliver the yard unfinished, so a pool is an after-purchase project on your own budget and timeline. If a pool at move-in matters to you, the resale market is the faster path.
Is the City of Maricopa in Maricopa County?
No. The City of Maricopa is in Pinal County, and its zip codes are 85138 and 85139. Maricopa County is a separate jurisdiction that contains Phoenix. Search results and listing portals often confuse the two, so confirm the county for any property you research.
Do I need my own agent to buy a new construction home?
You don't need one, but the on-site salesperson represents the builder. If you want representation, register your agent at your first visit to the sales office. Many builders will not add buyer representation retroactively once you have registered on your own.
Should I get an independent inspection on a brand new home?
An independent inspection is worth doing even on new construction. Builder inspections and municipal code inspections serve the builder and the jurisdiction, not the buyer. Inspecting before drywall and again before closing catches issues while they're still accessible and clearly within warranty.

Inventory counts, prices, and builder names on this page reflect ARMLS active listings in the City of Maricopa with a 2026 build year, pulled September 20, 2026. ARMLS provides listing information, which is deemed reliable but not verified. Pricing, availability, incentives, and builder participation change frequently and must be confirmed directly with the builder and lender. Nothing on this page is legal, tax, or financial advice.

Which Maricopa new construction homes can you move into now?
As of September 20, 2026, 59 of the 166 active new construction listings in the City of Maricopa were finished spec homes. 75 were still under construction. The remaining 32 did not list a stage. That split matters more than price for anyone working against a lease end or a closing date on a home they are selling.
59
Move-in ready
Finished spec homes. $279,990 to $495,095, median $359,990, median 1,870 square feet. These close on a normal escrow timeline.
75
Under construction
$255,040 to $497,370, median $369,990, median 1,980 square feet. Completion dates are builder estimates, not closing dates.
32
Stage not stated
$299,990 to $489,990, median $372,490, median 1,941 square feet. Some builders leave this field blank. Call and we will confirm the stage before you drive out.
Two things changed since July. Rancho El Dorado Phase III, which had nothing under construction in midsummer, now has four homes being built alongside seven finished ones, so a new release is under way there. And Palomino Ranch still shows a stage on none of its listings, now 15, which is a builder reporting habit rather than a sign of anything about the homes.
If you are on a deadline, start with the 59. Builders in this market commonly decline a home sale contingency on a to-be-built home, so a finished spec is often the path that lines up with selling your current home. Policies vary by builder and release, so confirm with the community you are considering. Tell us your timeline, and we will send the finished homes that fit it.
How many Maricopa new builds have been discounted?
As of September 20, 2026, 111 of the 166 active new construction listings were priced below their original list price, up from 69 of 135 in July. The median reduction was $14,000 and the deepest was $80,000. 18 homes were priced above their original list, and 37 had not moved.
Builders reprice standing inventory the way any seller does, and the listing history is public. A home with a reduction isn't a worse home, but it has been sitting, and that is worth knowing before you decide what to offer or which lot to take. Two-thirds of the city's new-build inventory now carries one.
The spread across communities is the useful part, and it has reshuffled since July. Rancho El Dorado Phase III and Sorrento have reduced almost everything standing. Palomino Ranch, which had reduced one home in July, has now reduced nine of 15. Moonlight, which led the list in July at 88 percent, is down to 56 percent as its reduced homes sold and new releases came on at full price. Same city, same season, different inventory positions, and they call for different approaches at the sales office.
Reduced homes had a median listing time of 61 days, versus 42 days for homes still at or above original list. Some of that is simply time on market creating the opportunity to reprice, so read it as a signal about a specific home rather than a rule about the community.
Ask which price you are looking at. Builder pricing is not one number. Ten of these listings, from two builders, publish a cash price that changes when you finance through the lender the builder names, and 78 of the 166 tie an incentive to using that lender. We will pull the pricing history and the current incentive terms on any home on this page before you sit down to write.
Source: ARMLS active listings, City of Maricopa, 2026 build year, pulled September 20, 2026. Reductions compare the current list price with the original list price in the same record. Build stage comes from the construction status field on the listing, and from listing remarks when that field is blank. Ten listings state a cash price that increases under builder financing; excluding them moves the all-listing median from $367,490 to $369,990. Incentive counts come from listing remarks that name the builder or a preferred lender. ARMLS provides listing information, which we deem reliable but not verified. Pricing, availability, incentives, and builder participation change frequently and must be confirmed with the builder and lender. Nothing here is legal, tax, or financial advice.
