Two-year median closed prices across six communities: 1,492 sales, including all of Trilogy Polo Club.

Historical study · October 2, 2026. The Sales Explorer retains its original 1,492-sale October 2024–September 2026 snapshot. Read the current connected market update.

A 55+ home in the Coachella Valley can mean different things depending on community, floor plan and lot. This refreshed study compares 1,492 community closed sales across the six linked community samples. Explore the market shift and compare communities, then narrow the search to similar homes.

  • 1,492 community sales; two-year median $560,000.
  • Recent sales: 771, versus 721 earlier. Median: $545,000, versus $575,000 (−5.2%).
  • Valid median marketing time: 58 days recent, versus 57 earlier.
  • Polo Club includes both its 55+ and all-ages sections; its linked report separately distinguishes resales and builder closings.

Updated October 2, 2026 (Pacific). Study: October 1, 2024–September 30, 2026. Earlier: October 1, 2024–September 30, 2025; recent: October 1, 2025–September 30, 2026. Closed-sale calculations share one reconciled dataset. Community inventory remains explicitly dated September 15, 2026.

Shared release: doi-market-through-2026-09-inventory-20261022-v6 · Closing coverage through Sep 30, 2026.

The shared dataset uses its verified community scopes and corrections. The October 22, 2026 release is separate from the retained October 2 study: its July–September 2026 scopes recorded 151 sales versus 150 in the earlier study, and its October 2025–September 2026 window recorded 772 versus 771. The current update and historical Explorer remain separate, dated snapshots.

Six-Community 55+ Sales Explorer

Explore the market shift, community medians, price ranges, and marketing time. Choose Compare two to put your shortlisted communities side by side.

Explore the five views above, or continue to the full data tables below. The tables remain available when interactive features are disabled.

Source: reconciled MLS exports and live listing audit checked October 2, 2026. Six linked community samples; Polo Club includes both 55+ and all-ages sections. Retains 10 identified builder sales. Two negative DOM values and 7 unusable original prices are omitted only from the affected measures.

What this means

Start with the bigger picture. Use the past-year view to understand each community’s market, then the latest month and three months to see recent activity. A handful of sales can move a monthly median sharply.

Compare the home, not just the headline price. Floor plan, size, condition, lot and improvements can explain much of the difference between two sales. A lower community median does not automatically mean the same home costs less.

For buyers and sellers: use these figures to choose where to look and what to investigate. Use recent comparable homes to decide what an individual property is worth.

Quick questions

Does the whole page update every month?

The current-market section updates from the shared dataset when a new release is published. The Sales Explorer remains the dated October 2024–September 2026 study.

Are these six communities all exclusively 55+?

The sample includes five age-qualified communities and the entire Trilogy Polo Club community, including its all-ages section. Confirm eligibility for the specific property.

Can I use the median as a home valuation?

No. A median describes the homes that sold. Compare the same plan, size, condition and location when evaluating a particular property.

Sources & study dates

Source: California Desert Association of REALTORS® / Flexmls exports. The current-market section uses the shared, versioned aggregate dataset and reports its own closing dates. Only aggregated results are public.

The Sales Explorer preserves the October 2, 2026 study of 1,492 closings from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026. It includes Sun City Palm Desert, Sun City Shadow Hills, Del Webb Rancho Mirage, Trilogy La Quinta, Heritage Palms and all of Trilogy Polo Club. Its original definitions, cleaning and source corrections differ from the later shared release.

Small samples and missing fields limit interpretation. These figures are not a complete deed history or a valuation of a specific home.
