Del Webb Rancho Mirage: Home Prices & Market Trends
Explore Del Webb Rancho Mirage home prices by size and model, with September 15, 2026 MLS data: 73 sales, an $840,000 median and updated inventory.
Del Webb Rancho Mirage’s latest MLS study shows a higher median price, nearly unchanged sales count, and essentially flat price per square foot. A greater share of larger homes contributed to the pricing picture. Compare the size groups and annual history, then use the dated inventory snapshot to see where choice is widest. Floor plan, private pool, lot, view and solar terms still matter for individual comparisons.
- The latest period covers 73 MLS-reported closings from September 16, 2025 through September 15, 2026, at an $840,000 median closed price.
- Sales were nearly level with the prior year: 73 versus 72. Median price rose 5.7%, while median sold price per square foot was essentially unchanged at $432.80.
- The share of sales at 2,000 square feet or more rose from 37.5% to 49.3%. Size groups moved differently; the headline gain is not a uniform change in home values.
- Median valid MLS days on market fell from 54.5 to 37.5. No sale exceeded final list, and 35.6% of closing records had reduced from their original asking price.
- The September 15 snapshot has 23 apparently available listings, two additional active listings marked contingent, and two pending listings. Supply varies sharply by size and price.
Data dates: Updated September 15, 2026. Comparison periods and inventory use that reporting cutoff; the newest recorded close is September 8. Annual history through 2024 and the explicitly dated repeat-sale study remain from the earlier analysis. The new export confirms 2025 and refreshes 2026.

*2026 is year to date through September 15 and should not be treated as a complete calendar year. Prices are nominal. DOM means days on market. The latest-period median DOM uses 72 valid records after one invalid negative value was excluded. “Builder-labeled” is a conservative MLS classification: New Construction is Y, structured condition says New Construction, or the listing agency name contains Pulte. The last identified builder-labeled closing was September 27, 2024.
How to read this study
Del Webb at Rancho Mirage—the community’s official name—is a relatively young resale market with a narrow range of construction years but a wide range of home sizes, floor plans, lots, pools, views, solar arrangements, and outdoor improvements. A 2019 City of Rancho Mirage Community Facilities District official statement identifies 1,029 age-qualified detached homes at completion. PulteGroup’s 2018 grand-opening announcement describes a gated 55+ community of fee-simple detached homes with ten original plans from 1,438 to 2,726 square feet. The MLS history now spans homes built from 2018 through 2024 and recorded living areas up to 2,787 square feet, reflecting expansions or public-record differences.
That product range is essential to understanding the latest market numbers.
From September 16, 2025 through September 15, 2026, 73 MLS-reported sales closed, compared with 72 in the preceding 12 months. Median closed price rose 5.7%, from $794,750 to $840,000, while closed dollar volume increased 6.4% to $65.21 million.
The higher median does not establish uniform appreciation. Median sold price per square foot was essentially unchanged: $432.80 versus $432.89, a 0.02% decline. Median living area increased only 14.5 square feet, from 1,843.5 to 1,858, but the share of sales at 2,000 square feet or more rose from 37.5% to 49.3%. The size distribution changed more noticeably than its midpoint.
The latest comparison shows stable transaction activity, faster median marketing time and a higher total-price median across a different sales mix. Results varied by home size. Current inventory was concentrated in both smaller homes and the largest size group, while the 2,000–2,399-square-foot group remained comparatively thin.
Six guardrails matter. Community-wide medians compare different homes rather than following one identical property. Builder and resale transactions are not interchangeable. Active asking prices represent seller expectations—not known future closing prices. MLS days on market may not capture exposure under prior listing numbers. Feature categories overlap and depend on agent-entered fields. Private, off-market, deed-only, canceled, expired, withdrawn, and differently labeled transactions may be absent.
The $840,000 community median is the middle closed price among 73 latest-period sales. It does not establish the value of a particular Getaway, Solitude, Expedition, Sanctuary, Haven, Preserve, Refuge, Serenity, Journey or Voyage after accounting for its configuration, pool, lot, view, orientation, solar terms, garage, condition and improvements.
Latest 12 months versus the prior 12 months
The analysis uses equal, contiguous, non-overlapping 365-day periods ending on the September 15 reporting cutoff. The newest individual closing is September 8:
Latest 12 months: September 16, 2025–September 15, 2026
Prior 12 months: September 16, 2024–September 15, 2025
Closed sales are analyzed separately from active-status inventory.

*The latest-period median DOM falls between two whole-number observations, producing a calculated median of 37.5 days.
*The latest median DOM uses 72 valid observations; one sale reported −13 DOM. Its price and closing remain included. The prior period contains two builder-labeled closings. Excluding those leaves 70 prior resales with the same $794,750 median price and $432.89 median price per square foot, versus 73 latest resales.
Sales activity was nearly level at 73 versus 72 closings. The latest period averaged 6.08 closings per month, and median reported marketing time shortened by 17 days, from 54.5 to 37.5.
Median price rose $45,250 while median price per square foot changed by less than ten cents. More of the completed sales were in larger size groups, and the size groups recorded different price changes. Total price and price per square foot need to be read together.
Reductions became less common, falling from 44.4% to 35.6% of closings, and the median reduction became smaller. Even so, the median sale closed 1.48% below final list and the share meeting or exceeding final list declined from 27.8% to 17.8%.
Faster successful sales therefore did not translate into more above-list outcomes. Homes moved more quickly, while buyers retained more final-list negotiating leverage than the DOM improvement alone might imply.
What Del Webb Rancho Mirage homes actually sold for
The latest 12-month range extended from $578,750 to $1.36 million. Those endpoints show the breadth of the market, but the distribution between them is more useful.

| Closed-price band | Prior sales | Prior share | Latest sales | Latest share | Count change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under $700,000 | 10 | 13.9% | 11 | 15.1% | +1 |
| $700,000–$799,999 | 27 | 37.5% | 19 | 26.0% | −8 |
| $800,000–$899,999 | 13 | 18.1% | 14 | 19.2% | +1 |
| $900,000–$1,099,999 | 14 | 19.4% | 17 | 23.3% | +3 |
| $1.1 million or more | 8 | 11.1% | 12 | 16.4% | +4 |
Sales from $900,000 through $1,099,999 increased from 14 to 17, while sales at $1.1 million or more increased from eight to 12. The largest decline in transaction count was in the $700,000–$799,999 band, from 27 to 19.
In total, 29 of 73 latest sales, or 39.7%, closed for at least $900,000, versus 22 of 72, or 30.6%, previously. The share below $700,000 changed only modestly, from 13.9% to 15.1%. The higher median reflects a changed distribution rather than an equal upward movement at every price level.
The latest year contained 26 closings from 2,000 through 2,399 square feet, up from 16, while closings from 1,600 through 1,999 square feet declined from 38 to 28. The largest size group had ten closings versus 11.
The $840,000 median should therefore be treated as a center point for the collection of homes that sold—not a price estimate for the home under consideration.

Why the higher median does not equal uniform appreciation
The clearest evidence comes from the relationship between total price, price per square foot, and the size of homes that sold:
The median closed price increased 5.7%.
The median sold price per square foot was essentially unchanged, down 0.02%.
The median sold home became 0.8% larger, an increase of 14.5 square feet.
The share of sales at 2,000 square feet or more increased from 37.5% to 49.3%.
The size groups recorded different changes, reinforcing the need to compare similar homes before applying a community-wide percentage.

| Reported living area | Latest sales | Latest median price | Latest median $ / sq. ft. | Latest median DOM | Prior sales | Prior median price | Prior median $ / sq. ft. | Prior median DOM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,600 sq. ft. | 9 | $639,000 | $444.37 | 23 days | 7 | $634,990 | $441.58 | 69 days |
| 1,600–1,999 sq. ft. | 28 | $752,500 | $425.99 | 31 days | 38 | $779,000 | $438.26 | 57 days |
| 2,000–2,399 sq. ft. | 26 | $927,000 | $419.11 | 67.5 days | 16 | $869,500 | $410.12 | 41.5 days |
| 2,400 sq. ft. or more | 10 | $1,297,000 | $479.56 | 27 days | 11 | $1,140,000 | $412.74 | 64 days |
The size tiers moved in different directions:
Under 1,600 square feet: median price and median sold price per square foot both increased 0.6%.
1,600–1,999 square feet: median price declined 3.4%, and median sold price per square foot declined 2.8%.
2,000–2,399 square feet: median price increased 6.6%, and median sold price per square foot increased 2.2%.
2,400 square feet or more: median price increased 13.8%, and median sold price per square foot increased 16.2%. The current sample contains ten sales.
The 1,600–1,999-square-foot tier weakened while both larger groups posted higher medians. The 2,000–2,399-square-foot group had ten more closings, a 62.5% increase. These differences help explain why the community median cannot stand alone.
Smaller homes also produced a higher price per square foot than some larger categories. That is not unusual. Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, lots, landscaping, and other high-cost components are spread across fewer square feet, while plan efficiency and outdoor improvements can matter more than raw living area.
The 2026 year-to-date rebound

| Market indicator | Jan. 1–Sept. 15, 2025 | Jan. 1–Sept. 15, 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Closings | 43 | 51 | +18.6% |
| Closed dollar volume | $35,420,400 | $46,549,900 | +31.4% |
| Median closed price | $780,000 | $850,000 | +9.0% |

| Median MLS-reported DOM | 57 days | 37.5 days* | −34.2% |
| Sold at or above final list | 20.9% | 19.6% | −1.3 percentage points |
The 2026 same-date sample has 51 closings versus 43 in 2025. Median price increased 9.0% to $850,000 and median price per square foot increased 3.5% to $442.25. The supplied export starts in March 2024, so it cannot reconstruct a complete January–September 2024 comparison. The annual historical table below retains the earlier full-year 2024 results.
The same-date 2026 comparison shows stronger activity and pricing than 2025, while the complete rolling-year comparison shows almost unchanged sales count and price per square foot. Different windows answer different questions, and the size groups continue to move differently.
Where buyers found negotiating room
The latest market moved faster, but final-price leverage weakened for sellers.
Median sale-to-final-list ratio: 98.52%
Median discount from final list: 1.48%
Closed at or above final list: 13 sales / 17.8%
Closed above final list: zero
Reduced before closing: 26 sales / 35.6%
Median reduction among reduced listings: $30,000 / 3.36%
Median sale-to-original-list ratio: 96.85%
A home may close near its final asking price after an earlier reduction. In the latest period, 26 of 73 closings, or 35.6%, had reduced from original ask. The median sale-to-original-list ratio was 96.85%.
Reductions became less common than in the prior period, and median cuts declined from $35,500 and 3.87% to $30,000 and 3.36%. Dollar and percentage cuts are separate medians. The export does not establish exactly when reductions occurred or whether sellers started closer to market value.
Median sale-to-original-list ratio declined from 97.50% to 96.85%, and fewer sales met final asking price. This combination shows why faster median marketing time does not automatically mean stronger final-list terms for sellers.
Listing history is more informative than one ratio. Original ask, reductions, prior listing numbers, cumulative exposure, current competing inventory, private-pool alternatives, solar obligations, condition, furnishings, and the closest plan-matched closings all help explain the final outcome.
Inventory snapshot: September 15, 2026
Snapshot date: September 15, 2026
The export contains 25 active-status listings: 23 without a contingent flag and two with a contingent flag. Two additional listings are pending. The unflagged records are treated as apparently available; live status should be confirmed before arranging a showing.

| 61–90 days | 1 | 4.0% |
| 91 days or more | 7 | 28.0% |
Seven active-status listings have at least 91 reported DOM; five of those have reduced their asking price. Longer exposure and reductions overlap, but not every older listing has repriced. Lot, model, pool, solar terms, condition and prior listing history still matter.
Why the active median ask is below the recent sold median
The $775,000 all-active median asking price is 7.7% below the $840,000 latest closed median. The difference compares asking prices and completed sales from different groups; it does not forecast a 7.7% decline in values.
The two groups contain different homes:
The active median size is 1,832 square feet, versus 1,858 among latest-period closings.
Sixteen of 25 active-status listings, or 64.0%, are under 2,000 square feet.
Thirteen of 25 active-status listings, or 52.0%, are priced below $800,000.
Thirty-seven of 73 latest-period closings, or 50.7%, were under 2,000 square feet.
The active group has a greater share of smaller homes, helping explain its lower total-price median. Its median asking price per square foot is higher at $450.33 versus $432.80 for recent sales, and seven active listings are in the largest size group. These differences make plan and feature matching essential.

Why supply depends on price and home size
The community-wide inventory ratio hides the largest practical difference in the current market.
Inventory by asking-price band
Scroll across the table on smaller screens.
| Price band | All active-status listings | Latest 12-month closings | Estimated months of inventory |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under $700,000 | 8 | 11 | 8.73 months |
| $700,000–$799,999 | 5 | 19 | 3.16 months |
| $800,000–$899,999 | 1 | 14 | 0.86 months |
| $900,000–$1,099,999 | 3 | 17 | 2.12 months |
| $1.1 million or more | 8 | 12 | 8.00 months |
The under-$700,000 tier has the most supply by price at 8.73 months, followed by the $1.1-million-plus tier at 8.00 months. The $800,000–$899,999 band has only one active-status listing and a 0.86-month ratio, making that estimate particularly sensitive to individual listings.
Inventory by reported living area
Scroll across the table on smaller screens.
| Size band | All active-status listings | Latest 12-month closings | Estimated months of inventory |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,600 sq. ft. | 5 | 9 | 6.67 months |
| 1,600–1,999 sq. ft. | 11 | 28 | 4.71 months |
| 2,000–2,399 sq. ft. | 2 | 26 | 0.92 months |
| 2,400 sq. ft. or more | 7 | 10 | 8.40 months |
This is one of the most actionable findings in the study.
The largest size group has the highest size-band ratio: seven active-status listings against ten trailing sales, or 8.40 months. Homes below 1,600 square feet have 6.67 months. The 2,000–2,399-square-foot group remains much thinner, with two active-status listings against 26 sales, or 0.92 month.
These ratios describe the supply in each broad group, not the prospects of every home. An upgraded private-pool property on a distinctive lot may have fewer close substitutes than its size-band count suggests, while an ambitious asking price can extend marketing time in any category.
These estimates use the September 15 all-active counts, including contingent listings, divided by each group’s trailing monthly closing pace. Overall, available-only supply is 3.78 months; including the two contingent records gives 4.11 months. The two pending listings are excluded from both ratios. None of these measures is seasonally adjusted.
How pools, views, and lot settings divide the market
Del Webb Rancho Mirage contains overlapping property-level submarkets. The MLS fields are incomplete, so a record without an explicit feature marker should be treated as not identified, not as proof that the feature is absent.
The latest 24-month feature cohort covers 145 closings from September 16, 2024 through September 15, 2026.

| Explicit MLS feature cohort | Flagged sales | Flagged median price | Flagged median $ / sq. ft. | Flagged median size | Not-flagged sales | Not-flagged median price | Not-flagged median $ / sq. ft. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private pool | 58 | $940,000 | $472.75 | 1,858 sq. ft. | 87 | $780,000 | $415.81 |
| Mountain view | 126 | $829,950 | $438.90 | 1,858 sq. ft. | 19 | $789,000 | $408.53 |
| Panoramic view | 30 | $947,500 | $467.08 | 2,110.5 sq. ft. | 115 | $790,000 | $428.49 |
| Greenbelt or park setting | 17 | $945,000 | $463.97 | 2,034 sq. ft. | 128 | $812,500 | $430.48 |
| Premium-lot marker | 21 | $900,000 | $441.58 | 1,858 sq. ft. | 124 | $812,500 | $432.50 |
| Updated or remodeled marker | 20 | $862,500 | $449.72 | 1,845 sq. ft. | 125 | $819,000 | $432.20 |
The private-pool and unmarked groups have almost identical median living areas: 1,858 versus 1,855 square feet. The 58 private-pool-marked sales had a $940,000 median and $472.75 median price per square foot, versus $780,000 and $415.81 among 87 records without the explicit marker.
The pool-marked group also had a larger median lot, at 7,625.5 versus 6,970 square feet. Landscaping, outdoor kitchens, spas, shade, orientation, views, solar, furnishings and upgrades can differ, so the price gap cannot be assigned entirely to the pool.
Within the ten classified model groups, pool-marked homes had higher median price per square foot in each group. These subgroups are small—some contain only two pool-marked sales—and still differ in lot, view, improvements, condition and sale date. They help identify comparison groups but do not establish a standard pool adjustment.
Golf-cart-garage-marked homes had a $1.12 million median price, but their median living area was 2,525 square feet versus 1,832 among unmarked records. This substantial size difference prevents treating the price gap as the value of a garage bay.
The practical conclusion is specific: a private-pool home should begin with private-pool comparisons when enough recent matches exist. A panoramic-view, greenbelt, or premium-lot property should be evaluated against similar settings. No feature table should be converted into an automatic appraisal adjustment.

| Voyage | 2,726 sq. ft. | 7 | $1,280,000 | $469.55 | 3 |
The model table classifies 116 of 145 recent sales and 23 of 25 active-status listings. Getaway, Sanctuary and Expedition account for 14 of the 23 classified active listings. Journey and Voyage each have three; Preserve, Refuge and Haven have none. Two active records remain unclassified.
Model medians remain descriptive. A Haven with a private pool, panoramic mountain view, mature landscaping, paid solar, and extensive upgrades may not compete directly with another Haven lacking those features. Some homes also contain builder options, room conversions, or recorded square-footage differences.
The model name is the beginning of the comparison—not the end. A stronger valuation sequence is:
Confirm the original plan, structural options, permitted alterations, and actual room configuration.
Compare recent sales of the same model or the closest functional substitute.
Separate private pool, lot, view, orientation, greenbelt, and clubhouse-location differences.
Review solar ownership or payment obligations, outdoor improvements, furnishings, and condition.
Use broader size-band and community data only after the closest property matches have been studied.
The builder-to-resale transition and longer market history
The MLS history begins with builder-dominated sales and ends as a resale market. A builder-labeled record is one marked new construction, carrying a structured new-construction condition, or listed by a brokerage name containing Pulte.
The last builder-labeled closing in the export occurred September 27, 2024. None of the 25 current active-status records met the builder-labeled rule. The association’s September 2024 Roadrunner newsletter also discussed Pulte’s departure and the transfer of full maintenance responsibility to the association. Together, those sources support describing the community as a resale market, but they should not be treated as proof that no direct builder or developer opportunity can exist without separate confirmation.
This transition matters because builder closings and resales can reflect different incentives, upgrades, lot releases, construction timing, and MLS-entry practices.
The retained August study contained 408 closed sales from September 28, 2018 through August 5, 2026, totaling $332.89 million. That historical total is not recalculated from the shorter September export. Annual figures through 2024 remain from that study; the new file confirms 2025 and increases 2026 from 49 to 51 closings.
The 2018 and 2026 calendar-year rows are partial.
Scroll across the table on smaller screens.
| Calendar year | Closings | Builder-labeled closings | Median closed price | Median sold $ / sq. ft. | Median size | Median DOM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 partial | 5 | 5 | $511,990 | $261.45 | 2,008 sq. ft. | 55 days |
| 2019 | 25 | 24 | $540,000 | $260.82 | 2,008 sq. ft. | 58 days |
| 2020 | 25 | 11 | $569,000 | $267.53 | 1,885 sq. ft. | 74 days |
| 2021 | 45 | 5 | $700,000 | $362.07 | 1,883 sq. ft. | 37 days |

| 2023 | 79 | 32 | $879,000 | $421.48 | 1,883 sq. ft. | 49 days |
| 2024 | 78 | 3 | $859,500 | $448.56 | 1,858 sq. ft. | 53 days |
| 2025 | 65 | 0 | $780,000 | $424.87 | 1,858 sq. ft. | 49 days |
| 2026 through Sept. 15 | 51 | 0 | $850,000 | $442.25 | 1,858 sq. ft. | 37.5 days |
The annual series shows rapid appreciation into 2022, a higher total-price median in 2023 alongside lower price per square foot, moderation through 2025, and a partial 2026 rebound. It should not be read as a same-home index.
The 2023 result is a good example. That year produced the highest calendar median at $879,000, but 32 of 79 closings were builder-labeled, and median price per square foot was below both 2022 and 2024. Lot releases, plan mix, upgrades, and builder reporting can change the annual median independently of uniform resale appreciation.
What same-property resales add
Retained historical study, closed data through August 5, 2026. This stricter repeat-sale analysis matched consecutive transactions at the same normalized address, required at least a 180-day hold, kept square footage within 2%, and required unchanged bedrooms and bathrooms. Its long holding periods cannot be reconstructed from the shorter export, so the original pair counts and date windows remain unchanged.
Scroll across the table on smaller screens.
| Repeat-sale measure | All strict pairs | Later sale Aug. 6, 2025–Aug. 5, 2026 | Later sale Aug. 6, 2024–Aug. 5, 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matched pairs | 49 | 15 | 9 |
| Median holding period | 2.09 years | Not separately reported | Not separately reported |
| Median total nominal price change | +12.50% | +4.62% | +6.57% |
| Median annualized nominal change | +6.97% | +3.04% | +6.97% |
| Higher / lower / approximately flat | 35 / 13 / 1 | 9 / 5 / 1 | 6 / 3 / 0 |
Same-property resales in the retained study were positive at the median, but the cohort ending August 5, 2026 had lower median annualized appreciation than the preceding cohort. This is directional historical evidence. The MLS does not control for improvements, condition, solar, furnishings, transaction costs or seller circumstances between sales.
The retained August 6, 2025–August 5, 2026 subset contains only 15 pairs. It cannot define appreciation for every home across ten plans and many lot and improvement combinations.
What this report deliberately does not claim
That every Del Webb Rancho Mirage home appreciated 5.7%
The median of one 73-sale group was 5.7% above the median of a different 72-sale group. Median living area increased 0.8%, the share of larger homes rose, and median price per square foot was essentially unchanged. Size groups moved differently. These are comparisons of sales mixes, not a universal value adjustment.
That the $775,000 active median predicts lower future values
Smaller homes account for 64.0% of active-status listings, compared with 50.7% of latest closings. Active asking prices remain seller expectations. The $775,000 active median cannot be applied directly to a different group of sold homes.
That Del Webb Rancho Mirage has one fixed months-of-inventory number
All 25 active-status records produce 4.11 months at the trailing pace; the 23 apparently available listings produce 3.78 months. By size, all-active ratios range from 0.92 month for 2,000–2,399 square feet to 8.40 months for 2,400 square feet or more. Individual listing changes can move these estimates quickly.
That a private pool carries one standard dollar premium
Private-pool-marked homes sold at higher medians even at nearly identical median living area, but the cohorts can also differ in lot size, orientation, view, landscaping, outdoor improvements, pool quality, solar, furnishings, and condition. The difference identifies a distinct comparison group; it does not establish an automatic appraisal adjustment.
That the MLS proves the community is completely sold out
The export contains no active builder-labeled record and no builder-labeled closing after September 2024. That supports a resale-market transition. Current direct builder, developer, or lot availability still requires separate verification.
That the MLS supplies a reliable concessions, financing, HOA, tax, or rule history
Concession amounts are populated on only 16 of 73 latest closings, and financing is blank on 53. The export cannot establish a complete incentives or financing history. Current dues, charges, tax assessments, age rules and rental rules belong in the separate buying guide and current transaction documents.
What the data mean for buyers and sellers
For buyers
The opportunity is segmented rather than universal.
Buyers seeking either compact homes or the largest plans have more inventory relative to recent sales than buyers in the 2,000–2,399-square-foot group. Five of seven active listings with at least 91 DOM have reduced, but negotiating room still depends on the individual property and its close substitutes.
The 2,000–2,399-square-foot snapshot has two active-status listings against 26 trailing sales. Buyers focused on that range can benefit from close monitoring of suitable plans and newly listed homes, while continuing to compare price, condition and features carefully.
The $840,000 median is not an offer price. The strongest comparison begins with the same plan or the closest functional substitute, then accounts for pool, orientation, lot, view, solar contract, garage, outdoor improvements, condition, furnishings, listing history, and competing inventory.
For sellers
Median marketing time shortened and reductions became less common, but no closing exceeded final list and only 17.8% met it. These results support setting prices from closely matched sales rather than assuming faster marketing time guarantees stronger terms.
Ten of 25 active-status listings, or 40%, have reduced their asking price. Five of the seven listings at 91 or more DOM have repriced. That history is visible to buyers and belongs in the pricing discussion.
The best launch strategy begins with same-plan and same-feature closings. A private pool, panoramic view, superior greenbelt position, paid solar, larger lot, or comprehensive improvement package may justify a stronger comparison set. It still needs evidence, and the highest active asking price remains an unconfirmed seller expectation.
The market in one sentence
At the September 15 cutoff, Del Webb Rancho Mirage had nearly unchanged sales count, faster median marketing time, a higher total-price median and almost unchanged price per square foot. Inventory varied sharply, with more supply in compact and large-home groups and fewer choices from 2,000 through 2,399 square feet.
Frequently asked questions
What is the median home price in Del Webb Rancho Mirage?
The median was $840,000 across 73 MLS-reported closings from September 16, 2025 through September 15, 2026. Median sold price per square foot was $432.80, median living area was 1,858 square feet and median valid MLS DOM was 37.5 days. The newest recorded close is September 8. Individual plans, lots and improvements vary.
Are Del Webb Rancho Mirage home prices rising?
Median closed price rose 5.7% from the prior 12 months, while median price per square foot was essentially unchanged, down 0.02%. Larger homes accounted for a greater share of sales. The 1,600–1,999-square-foot group recorded lower medians, while larger groups rose, so the headline gain does not imply uniform appreciation.
How much inventory is available in Del Webb Rancho Mirage?
The September 15 snapshot has 23 apparently available listings, two additional active-status listings marked contingent and two pending listings. Available-only supply is 3.78 months at the trailing sales pace; including contingent listings gives 4.11 months. Pending listings are separate. Check Bloom for current availability.
Where do buyers have more choice in Del Webb Rancho Mirage?
At the September 15 cutoff, the largest size group had 8.40 months of all-active inventory and homes below 1,600 square feet had 6.67 months. The 2,000–2,399-square-foot group had two active-status listings and a 0.92-month ratio. These counts include contingent listings and are sensitive to individual homes entering or leaving the market.
How much does a private pool add to a Del Webb Rancho Mirage home?
The data do not establish a universal adjustment. Across 145 recent sales, private-pool-marked homes had a $940,000 median and $472.75 median sold price per square foot, versus $780,000 and $415.81 among records without the explicit marker. Median living area was nearly identical, but lots, views, condition and improvements also differed. Use closely matched pool-home sales when possible.
Sources, data methodology & update notes
MLS dataset and calculation rules
The September 15, 2026 update uses the supplied 120-column MLS export. Its Del Webb Rancho Mirage subset has 210 records: 183 closed, 25 active and two pending. Recorded closes span March 18, 2024 through September 8, 2026. Older annual history and the dated repeat-sale study retain the earlier August source.
- Primary comparison: 73 closings from September 16, 2025–September 15, 2026 versus 72 from September 16, 2024–September 15, 2025. Both periods contain 365 days; boundaries use the reporting cutoff rather than the newest closing. The combined 145 sales form the feature and model cohort.
- Community and duplicates: All 210 community records are retained. No duplicate listing numbers or supported same-property, same-price, same/adjacent-date closing events were found. City, subdivision and 2018–2024 build years support community inclusion.
- Price calculations: Positive, plausible closed prices and living areas are available for all current records. Price per square foot and sale-to-list ratios are recalculated per property, then summarized. Changes use unrounded numbers; all dollars are nominal.
- Original prices: All 73 current and 72 prior records pass positive-price and original-to-final asking-price ratio checks of 0.5–2.0. The earlier study’s $95,000 original-price typo is outside this export. Dollar and percentage reductions are separate medians among reduced listings.
- Days on market: One current sale reports −13 DOM and is excluded only from DOM calculations. This leaves 72 current observations and 50 for 2026 YTD. Its price and closing remain included. MLS DOM may omit earlier exposure under another listing number.
- Builder classification: New Construction is Y, structured Property Condition says New Construction, or the listing agency contains Pulte. The latest period has zero builder-labeled sales; the prior has two. Excluding those leaves 70 prior resales with unchanged median price and price per square foot. No active or pending record is builder-labeled. The newest builder-labeled close is September 27, 2024.
- Feature rules: Private-pool classification requires affirmative private Pool Location, Pool Description or Pool Features coding. Mountain and panoramic views use the specific affirmative view fields. Greenbelt/park uses greenbelt lot or park/greenbelt view coding, excluding generic amenities and nearby parks. Premium lot and updated/remodeled use their specific affirmative structured fields. Not-flagged groups can include unreported features.
- Models: Structured builder-model fields take priority. Case, plan-number suffixes and recognizable naming variants are normalized. Otherwise a single unambiguous plan name in marketing remarks is used only within that model’s structured living-area range in this export. Generic words or conflicting names and out-of-range remarks remain unclassified. This classifies 116 recent sales and 23 active-status listings; the shorter file’s range checks can differ from the earlier full-history classification.
- Inventory: The 23 active records without a contingent flag and two with a contingent flag make up the 25 all-active records. Two pending listings are separate. Price-band, size and model inventory counts include contingent records. Overall supply shows both available-only and all-active ratios. Asking prices are not known contract prices.
- Historical reconciliation: The new export reproduces the former 79-sale current period and 69-sale prior period, including price, volume and DOM. Full-year 2025 figures are unchanged. Two closes after August 5 increase the 2026 total from 49 to 51. The export lacks January–February 2024, so the current same-date YTD comparison uses 2025 and 2026 only.
- Retained historical work: Annual figures through 2024 and all strict repeat-sale figures remain from the August 11 study, which contained 408 closes through August 5. Repeat-sale pairs retain their original rolling-period dates; no additional pairs are inferred from the shorter export.
- Repeat-sale method: Normalized street address with chronology, APN, living area, bedrooms and bathrooms checked; at least 180 days between sales, living area within 2%, and unchanged recorded bedroom and bathroom counts.
- Coverage limitations: Private, off-market, deed-only, certain builder, differently labeled, canceled, expired, withdrawn and relisted transactions may be absent or incomplete. Missing financing and concessions fields prevent a complete incentives or financing analysis.
All dollar figures are nominal and are not adjusted for inflation. MLS information is agent-entered, may be incomplete or inaccurate, and is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Calculations are by Desert Oasis Insider and may differ from published MLS statistics because fields were independently audited and recalculated. Records and results can change as listings are added, corrected, or updated.
