The market, by the numbers
Closed lots and land sales, November 1, 2025 to November 1, 2026.
Months of supply is today's 46 listings divided by the 12 month average of about 3.5 sales per month. 27 of the 42 sales were parcels of 2 acres or more, from the lot size on the MLS record. Seller concessions are seller paid buyer costs, such as closing costs or a rate buydown, as reported on the closed MLS record. Listing success rate is the share of listings that left the market over the past 12 months that closed rather than being cancelled or expiring: 42 closed and 58 cancelled or expired. A listing that was cancelled and relisted counts as cancelled.

About Cave Creek land
Access, water, and what you can build.
Over the past 12 months, 27 of the 42 lots and land parcels that sold in the MLS city of Cave Creek were 2 acres or more, and the median lot that sold was about 3.4 acres. The median lot listed today is about 5.0 acres, from MLS records.
Under Chapter 5 of the Town's zoning ordinance, no zoning clearance or building permit is issued unless the lot has permanent legal and physical access to a dedicated Town right of way at least 20 feet wide. The Town also notes that a property not served by the Cave Creek Water Company needs a well permit through the Arizona Department of Water Resources.
Grading and building rules apply before the first shovel: a zoning clearance and building permit are required before any grading under Chapter 6, and saguaros taller than 4 feet need a zoning clearance to remove or relocate under Chapter 8. Cave Creek here is the city on the MLS record, which follows the mailing address. The Cave Creek mailing area is larger than the Town of Cave Creek: the 85331 ZIP code also covers Tatum Ranch, which is in the City of Phoenix, and parts of unincorporated Maricopa County, so confirm the jurisdiction for any property.
