Thin months need extra caution
25 homes closed across these six months. Read the monthly medians together with their sales counts: a thin month can change the picture quickly. The bars start at zero and show each month’s median, not a pooled six-month price.
A dash means no usable median is available. Months with fewer than five sales are small samples; each month’s count is shown. No price has been interpolated.

Annualized change in the community median: +6.7% across 6 years. This describes the two endpoint medians; it is not a return earned by an individual homeowner.
All price changes are nominal. Annual medians summarize different homes; price per square foot also reflects differences in condition, location, and features. Use the same-home resale analysis below for another perspective.
Put the figures to work
Price the home, with the market in view.
For buyers: Start with recent sales of the same plan or a similar-size home. Compare condition, outdoor improvements, casitas and lot position before treating the community median as an offer price.
For sellers: Use the current period to understand the competition, then support your price with closely comparable closings. An older market peak or a higher active asking price does not establish today’s value.
The longer story
Five chapters of the market.
The original historical study explains the cycle behind today’s numbers. The summaries below retain its original dates and scope.
1. Early development and the first visible cycle: 2003–2008
The export begins in the development era, but the first two annual samples contain only 2 and 7 closings. The first year with a more useful sample is 2005, when 40 homes closed at a $448,500 median.
Read the full historical analysis
The median rose to $515,000 in 2006 before easing to $507,525 in 2007 and $443,000 in 2008. Median price per square foot moved from $279.28 in 2006 to $229.83 in 2008, while median MLS days on market rose from 57 to 91.
Those movements show the market turning before the full correction appeared in the annual median.
2. Housing correction and the low-price years: 2009–2012
The 2009 median was $372,000, 27.8% below the 2006 median peak. Among years with more than ten closings, price per square foot reached its lowest annual median in 2011 at $184.04, 34.1% below 2006.
Read the full historical analysis
Marketing time also stretched. Median MLS days on market reached 132 in 2010 and 121 in 2011. The 2012 median improved to $384,500 and median days on market fell to 89, but pricing remained well below the earlier peak.
This is why selecting one trough year can dramatically change any long-term percentage claim.
3. Gradual recovery: 2013–2019
The 2013 median rose to $422,500. For the next several years, the annual median stayed in a comparatively narrow band—from $412,500 in 2014 to $450,000 in 2016—before reaching $457,500 in 2019.
Read the full historical analysis
Price per square foot moved from $220.20 in 2013 to $228.72 in 2019. The record shows recovery, but not a straight ascent: the median slipped in 2014, 2017 and 2018 even as the longer trend improved.
4. Pandemic-era repricing: 2020–2022
The sharpest move in the series arrived from 2020 through 2022. The median increased from $479,750 to $717,500, up 49.6%. Using the pre-surge 2019 baseline, the 2022 median was 56.8% higher.
Read the full historical analysis
Median price per square foot rose 57.6% from 2019 to 2022, which confirms that the move was not only a shift toward larger homes. At the same time, median MLS days on market fell to 33 in 2021 and 28.5 in 2022. The median sale-to-final-list ratio reached 100% in both years.
Sales volume peaked at 147 closings in 2021, then fell to 82 in 2022. The MLS record documents the repricing and faster market; it does not, by itself, assign a single cause.
5. Post-surge adjustment: 2023–September 2026
The 2023 median fell to $600,000, down 16.4% from 2022. Median price per square foot declined 9.4%, a smaller move that suggests some of the headline-price drop reflected the homes that happened to sell.
Read the full historical analysis
The median recovered to $647,500 in 2024 and $675,000 in 2025. Yet 2025 median price per square foot was almost unchanged from 2024—$348.30 versus $348.09—even as the median sale price rose 4.25%. Median reported living area increased from 1,840 to 1,965 square feet, making the shift in sales mix visible.
The refreshed 2025 calendar year contains 81 closings at a $675,000 median. January 1–September 30, 2026 contains 51 at $600,000, with $326.76 median sold price per square foot and 69 valid median DOM. The 2026 year remains incomplete; its count should not be compared directly with a full calendar year.
One major community event overlapped this era. The golf course and restaurant closed in late 2022; homeowners approved an acquisition and restoration in January 2024; the course reopened to resident play on December 9, 2024 and limited public play on December 16. Those dates are useful timeline markers, not proof that the course caused a particular price move.
What the same-home resales show
Historical study: August 6, 2026 analysis, using closings through July 20, 2026. These long-term matched-sale results are retained from that study.
Annual medians have a built-in composition problem. A year with more large, remodeled, pool or golf-front homes can post a higher median even when like-for-like values changed less.
To get closer to a same-home comparison, the audit matched consecutive sales by valid assessor parcel number, repaired malformed identifiers only when one normalized address produced an unambiguous match, required at least a two-year holding period and limited the final set to records whose reported living area differed by no more than 10%.
That stricter test produced 646 repeat-sale pairs:
Median holding period: 5.21 years
Median total nominal change: +19.48%
Median nominal annualized change: +3.39%
Middle 50% of annualized changes: +0.96% to +6.06%
A long-horizon subset of 35 homes first recorded as sold from 2003–2007 and sold again from 2021–2026 had a median 32.16% total increase over 17.59 years, equal to 1.58% nominal annualized. Thirty-three of the 35 later sales were higher than their early sale.
This is stronger evidence than comparing annual community averages, but it is still not a formal repeat-sales price index. The MLS does not consistently measure the value added by renovation, a new pool, a changed view, furnishings, solar ownership, distressed-sale conditions, seller concessions or transaction costs. The figures are also not inflation-adjusted.
The right conclusion is modest: the matched resales generally moved higher in nominal dollars, but outcomes varied widely and the holding period mattered.

Original quarter and rolling-year measurements
Latest complete quarter: July–September 2026
July 1–September 30, 2026: 15 closed sales, $600,000 median closed price, $324.68 median price per square foot and 105 valid median MLS days on market. This complete-quarter supplement uses the same reconciled records as the primary two-year analysis.
The latest analyzed 12 months
The latest period, October 1, 2025–September 30, 2026, contains 70 MLS-recorded closings at a $604,500 median, compared with 69 at $659,000 in October 1, 2024–September 30, 2025. Median price changed −8.3%; sales count changed +1.4%.
Median sold price per square foot moved from $363.87 to $335.25 (−7.9%). Median valid MLS marketing time moved from 68 to 63 days.

Where the latest closings landed
Latest closed prices ranged from $420,000 to $1,250,000. The middle half fell between $520,000 and $777,250; the community-wide median was $604,500.
Price-band counts show which homes actually sold. A change in the mix of floor plans and locations can move the community median even when closely matched homes behave differently.

September 15, 2026 inventory study
Active and pending snapshot: September 15, 2026
Retained September 15, 2026 inventory analysis. Every trailing-sales denominator and supply ratio in this section uses the original September 16, 2025–September 15, 2026 period, not the refreshed September 30 closed-sale window.
As of the September 15, 2026 export, the file contained 33 active-status listings and 1 pending-status listing. One of the active-status records also carried a separate contingent flag. This is a point-in-time asking-price snapshot, kept separate from the closed-sale trend.

The active median asking price was 10.5% above the latest trailing closed median, while active median asking price per square foot was 10.8% above the latest closed result. The pending figures describe just one listing and should not be read as a broad pending-market benchmark. Those gaps describe different groups of homes at different transaction stages; they do not predict where the active listings will close.
Historical September 15, 2026 supply calculation: 33 active-status listings divided by the 71 closed sales in September 16, 2025–September 15, 2026, multiplied by 12, equaled 5.6 months. Excluding the one contingent record gave 5.4 months. That 71-sale denominator belongs only to the retained September 15 inventory snapshot. The refreshed October 1, 2025–September 30, 2026 study has 70 closings; it is a different window and is not substituted into this historical inventory ratio.

Why prices separate inside Trilogy
The latest sales record shows a wide price range because Trilogy is not one interchangeable housing product.

These are descriptive groups, not a valuation grid. Each size band still mixes floor plans, lots, pools, renovation and finish levels.
Renovation and system age
Updated kitchens, baths, flooring, windows, mechanical systems and outdoor spaces can separate two otherwise similar plans. Cosmetic finish should also be distinguished from roof, HVAC, pool-equipment, solar and other system obligations.
Private pool and outdoor improvements
Older MLS records often use a general pool field that can refer to a community pool rather than a private backyard pool. That field is not reliable enough to calculate a clean historical “pool premium.” Recent private-pool markers show an association with higher prices, but they also overlap with larger homes, stronger lots and more extensive renovations.
Golf frontage, view and privacy
Direct golf frontage, fairway orientation, mountain exposure, street position and rear-yard privacy can materially change the comparison set. A raw price difference is not proof of an independent golf or view premium because those attributes overlap with floor plan, condition and lot improvements.
Casita and room utility
A casita, office, third bedroom or flexible living area can change buyer utility even when reported square footage looks similar. Listing language and assessor records do not always classify those spaces consistently.
For lot orientation, gates and amenity geography, use the Trilogy La Quinta community map with the Trilogy La Quinta visual guide.

Sources & methodology
Sources, periods and reconciliation
Updated October 2, 2026 (Pacific). Primary study: October 1, 2024–September 30, 2026; prior year October 1, 2024–September 30, 2025; recent year October 1, 2025–September 30, 2026. These equal October–September years preserve the established two-year methodology. July 1–September 30, 2026 is the latest complete-quarter supplement, not a replacement for the longer comparison.
Source: California Desert Association of REALTORS® / Flexmls exports supplied for this analysis. The September 15 community export supplies longer coverage; the October 2 regional export contains 1,538 July–September closed records across ten regional areas, including 150 records in the six community labels before scope cleaning. Matching listing numbers are updated from that later file; no duplicate export was needed for these closed records.
Live Flexmls verification reconciled all 1,485 closed listing IDs in the exact six-subdivision October 2024–September 2026 search, with none missing from the combined files. Eight additional historical community records still showed Closed when individually checked but now had blank subdivision fields; their established community mappings were retained. Prices, reported living area and final list prices were checked for all 1,493 pre-cleaning records. Three closing-date and 24 nonnegative timing revisions were incorporated; no corrected date crossed a comparison-year boundary.
Scope and calculation rules
Scope: the six linked communities are Sun City Palm Desert, Sun City Shadow Hills, Del Webb Rancho Mirage, Trilogy La Quinta, Heritage Palms Country Club and Trilogy Polo Club. City and subdivision are matched together. Trilogy La Quinta follows the established detached single-family scope. Genuine attached/villa and inconsistent-subtype community records remain included where the established property evidence supports them. One off-community Polo Club ranch is excluded. No duplicate listing numbers or supported same-property/same-price/same-or-adjacent-date transactions remain in the study.
Community scope: the five established age-qualified communities retain their community definitions. The entire Trilogy Polo Club community is included, covering both its 55+ and all-ages sections. Senior flags and age-related listing remarks do not determine inclusion. The hub includes all 129 cleaned Polo Club closings, comprising 119 resales and ten identified builder closings. The linked Polo report also defaults to all cleaned closings, with optional resale and builder views. Legal age eligibility requires separate property documentation.
This report’s principal two-year sample contains 139 community closed sales, split 69 prior and 70 recent. Closed prices and positive reported areas are required. Price per square foot is recalculated for each sale before taking its median. Negative source DOM remains excluded from timing even where the live interface normalizes it to zero; this report uses 139 timing observations.
Original-price calculations require positive original and final list prices and a plausible original/final ratio from 0.5 to 2.0, with the previously unresolved Shadow Hills original-price discrepancy also excluded. This report has 139 valid original-price records. Those exclusions affect reductions and sale/original ratios only. Cuts in dollars and percent are separately calculated medians among reduced listings. Final-list ratios use valid final list prices. Concessions and cumulative relisting exposure are not reliably measured.
Current medians and changes require at least five valid observations in each applicable cohort. Suppressed cells keep their sales counts. Historical sparse annual data remain explicitly dated. Feature groups use affirmative structured MLS fields; missing tags do not prove absence and overlapping features are not isolated price premiums. Sun City Palm Desert models use normalized structured fields; Del Webb also admits reviewed unambiguous model references with compatible sizes. Identified builder records use verified brokerage/agent/closeout evidence.
Inventory limitation: the attempted fresh export was blocked by Chrome. Every inventory table, active/model inventory count and months-of-supply estimate remains the September 15, 2026 snapshot, including its original trailing-sales denominator. It is not October inventory and is not recalculated against September 30 closing totals. Active, contingent and pending statuses remain separate as published. Check live availability before making plans.
Retained historical coverage
Annual history through 2024 remains from the original MLS history beginning December 2003. The retained August 6, 2026 same-home study uses closings through July 20, 2026 and has not been recalculated. The early partial years are kept as historical context; sparse original annual cohorts are not estimates for the current market.
Only aggregates are published. Raw MLS files and audit records stay local. MLS data are agent-entered, can be incomplete or corrected, and do not constitute a complete deed history. Nominal prices are not inflation-adjusted. Different sold-home mixes and missing financing/feature data limit inference.
