New Construction in Mesa, Gilbert and Chandler: What New Homes Actually Sold For (2026)

Short answer: builders closed 717 new homes in Mesa, Gilbert and Chandler from September 2025 through August 2026 that we could match to a builder. The median closed price was $585,336 in Mesa, $804,250 in Gilbert, and $826,010 in Chandler. These are recorded sale prices from county records, not advertised base prices.

Why this matters for your rebate:
Builders usually pay the buyer's agent a full commission. With RebateAZ your agent keeps 1.5% (minimum $4,500) and the rest comes back to you, up to 2%. On a $600,000 new build where the builder pays 3%, that is $9,000. You must register your agent on your first visit to the builder, or the builder will not pay.

Base Price vs. Closed Price

Builder websites advertise base prices. The price you actually pay includes the lot premium, upgrades and options, which is why the closed prices above run well above most advertised starting prices. Before you sign, ask the builder for a written price with your lot and options, and ask what incentives they offer for using their preferred lender. A rebate is separate from builder incentives, and in most cases you can have both. See how credits are capped by loan type.

Register Your Agent on Your First Visit

Builders almost always require your agent to be with you, or to register you, on your first visit to the sales office. If you walk in alone and sign the guest card, the builder may refuse to pay an agent later, and there is no commission to rebate. Text us before you visit and we will register you.

How We Got These Numbers

We used Maricopa County Recorder affidavits of property value for single-family and condo sales from September 2025 through August 2026, kept homes built in 2024 or later, and identified the builder from the seller named on the deed. Community names come from the county subdivision plat. Smaller builders and sales recorded under other company names may be missing, so treat the counts as a minimum.
