DeLex Realty
Phoenix is Arizona's capital and its largest city, with neighborhoods that range from historic districts and downtown high-rises to suburban foothills communities. It is also the center of the Valley's job market, sports, dining and arts. These are the newest homes for sale in Phoenix that the MLS listing data marks as new construction. That can include homes that are move-in ready, homes under construction and homes to be built, and availability changes quickly.
The sales agent you meet at a new-home community works for the builder, and their job is to represent the builder's interests, including its prices, contract and timeline. That is a very different role from a Realtor who represents you as the buyer.
Many builders will pay a commission to a buyer's agent under their own published policy, but the rules differ by builder, and many require your agent to be registered on your first visit, before you sign anything. If you have already visited a community without an agent, ask the builder about its policy before you go further, and don't sign anything until you have talked to me.
As your advocate, I can help you compare builders and communities, review the contract and any addenda, ask the right questions about incentives, upgrades, lot premiums, HOA dues and closing timelines, and negotiate on your behalf. I'm a strong negotiator, and I keep negotiating until the keys are in my client's hands.
Builders commonly advertise incentives such as interest rate offers, closing cost help, design credits or price adjustments on certain homes. These offers change often, usually have conditions, and may require using the builder's preferred lender, so ask for the details in writing and compare them with the price and terms you could get elsewhere. Call me at 602-483-4665 and I will help you compare what is currently offered.
Which parts of Phoenix are seeing new home construction?
The City of Phoenix plans for new development in growth areas named in its General Plan, and its impact fee areas there include Deer Valley, Paradise Ridge, Laveen, Estrella and Ahwatukee, plus parts of the northwest and northeast city. ABC15 reported in December 2025 that far north Phoenix is among the areas expected to see more growth. Laveen is one example, covered in our Laveen guide.
Did the 2023 groundwater decision stop new homes from being built in Phoenix?
No, subdivisions served by the City of Phoenix can still be built. In June 2023 the Arizona Department of Water Resources said it would stop issuing new certificates of assured water supply based on Phoenix-area groundwater, but analysis from ASU's Kyl Center says cities with an assured water supply designation, such as Phoenix, can keep serving new subdivisions, and subdivisions that already had a certificate can still be built. The City of Phoenix says its designation shows at least 100 years of water is physically, legally and continuously available.
Can I add a casita to a new home in Phoenix?
Yes, Phoenix zoning allows up to two accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on a lot with one single-family detached home, and a third on lots of at least one acre. The City Council approved these rules in late 2024 to match state law, and an ADU needs a city permit with a plot plan. In a new subdivision, check the HOA rules on accessory structures before you plan one.
Can a Phoenix home builder make me use its title company?
No, under the federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act a seller, including a builder, cannot require you, directly or indirectly, to buy title insurance from a particular company as a condition of selling you the home. A seller who breaks this rule can owe the buyer three times the title insurance charges. If a builder suggests a title company, you can compare options with your own agent.
