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: 29 closed and 37 cancelled or expired.

About new construction in Cave Creek

How new homes get built here.

This page follows newly built homes in the MLS city of Cave Creek: homes with a year built of 2024 or later on the MLS record, whether a finished spec home or a custom build on its own lot.

Building in the Town of Cave Creek comes with desert protection rules. Chapter 6 of the Town's zoning ordinance requires a zoning clearance and building permit before any grading, and keeps land within 12 feet of any property line in a Desert Rural zone natural, except for driveway and utility access. Chapter 8 requires a zoning clearance to remove or relocate a saguaro taller than 4 feet. The Town's grading guideline treats land with a natural slope of 15% or more as hillside.

New homes here range from finished spec homes to custom builds, and the year built on the MLS is entered by the listing agent, so check what was approved, permitted and inspected for any new home you consider. 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.
