It depends a lot on the city. Maricopa County records show 3,278 newly built homes sold in the 11 cities we cover from September 2025 to August 2026, at a median price of $651,145, or $283 per square foot. The median new home sale was $514,000 in Phoenix, $2,454,634 in Scottsdale, and $10,600,000 in Paradise Valley. As of October 30, 2026, new construction homes listed in the MLS had a median list price of $899,760. Builder base prices usually do not include the lot premium or options, so compare finished prices.

Maricopa County recorded 12,207 builder and developer sales of newly built homes from September 2025 to August 2026, 3,278 of them in the 11 cities we cover. Phoenix had the most with 1,135, followed by Peoria with 849 and Mesa with 646. Lennar was the most active builder in these cities with 725 sales, followed by Taylor Morrison with 363 and D.R. Horton with 299.

New home sales are down about 13% from a year earlier. Maricopa County records show 3,278 newly built homes sold in the 11 cities we cover from September 2025 to August 2026, compared with 3,788 from September 2024 to August 2025. The median sale price was $651,145, compared with $652,554 a year earlier, and the median price per square foot was $283, compared with $285. The county file keeps only each home's most recent sale, so a few new homes from the earlier period that have since been resold are not counted, which makes the year earlier count slightly low.

You do not have to have one, but it helps. The builder's sales team works for the builder, and the purchase contract is the builder's own. Your agent works for you, compares the home with resales and other communities, and helps you negotiate price, incentives, and upgrades. Many builders ask that your agent be registered at your first visit or first contact, so bring us in before you tour a model.

How your agent is paid is agreed in writing before you tour. Many builders offer to pay the buyer's agent, and we confirm that with the builder up front so you know exactly where things stand before you sign anything.

Yes. New homes can have missed or unfinished items, just like resales. Many buyers order a pre-drywall inspection while the framing, plumbing, and wiring are still visible, a final inspection before the walkthrough, and another inspection before the builder's first year warranty period ends. Check what the builder's contract allows and when.

A quick move-in home, sometimes called a spec home, is already built or under construction, so the plan, lot, and finishes are mostly set and you can close sooner. A to-be-built home lets you choose the lot, plan, and options, and usually takes several months or more to complete. Lot premiums and options can add a lot to the base price, so compare the finished price, not the starting price.

The builder search shows builder communities and homes from NewHomeSource through our ShowingNew site, supplied by the builders. The MLS search shows new construction listings entered in the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service through Flexmls. Some homes appear in both, and many builder homes appear only in the builder search.

Our MLS search and listing figures include residential listings, meaning single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and patio homes, with a year built of 2025 or later and an MLS city of Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Cave Creek, Carefree, Phoenix, Fountain Hills, Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, Tempe, and Peoria. That covers homes under construction and to-be-built homes listed with a future year built, along with a small number of homes built in 2025 that are now resales. Listing figures were calculated by Arizona Luxury Partners from ARMLS data on October 30, 2026. New home sales come from Maricopa County Assessor records, not the MLS, because builders often close sales outside the MLS. We count a sale when a builder or developer sold a single-family home, condo, or townhome on one parcel that the Assessor shows as built in the sale year or the year before, grouped by the date the deed was recorded. Related party sales, bulk sales, and sales the Assessor flagged as not market sales are left out. We used the Assessor sales affidavit and residential data files updated October 26, 2026, and the city is the mailing city on the county record.
