Estimate only, not a quote or a commitment to lend. FHA figures use HUD's 1.75% upfront premium (financed) and HUD's annual premium by loan size and down payment (on 30 year loans, 0.50% or 0.55% for base loans of $726,200 or less and 0.70% or 0.75% above that; on 15 year loans, 0.15% or 0.40% for base loans of $726,200 or less and 0.15%, 0.40% or 0.65% above that); VA figures use VA's funding fee for first use (2.15% under 5% down, 1.5% at 5% to under 10%, 1.25% at 10% or more), financed. Conventional loans under 20% down usually carry PMI; enter your quote. Taxes and insurance vary by home.

Buying in Maricopa

What Is Different About Buying in Maricopa

Maricopa is a commuter city with a mix of new and resale homes. Plan for these before you write an offer.

01

Pinal County, Not Maricopa County

The City of Maricopa is in Pinal County. That matters for your FHA limit, $557,750 in 2026 (HUD), and for property taxes and recording.

02

Commuter Location

Maricopa sits in the Sun Corridor between Phoenix and Tucson, about 15 miles from Phoenix, and is the greater Phoenix area's Amtrak hub (Arizona Commerce Authority). Lenders qualify you on your income, wherever you work.

03

A Young City

Maricopa incorporated in October 2003 as Arizona's 88th municipality (Arizona Commerce Authority). Get the HOA dues on any home you like before you offer, and we will count them in your approval from day one.

04

New Build or Resale?

Buying from a builder? Get pre-approved with us before you sign, so you can compare our options with any builder incentive and see which costs less over the life of the loan.

05

Fishing Lake, Gliders and Proving Grounds

Copper Sky Regional Park has a five acre fishing lake stocked with bass, rainbow trout and catfish, plus lit fields and an amphitheater (City of Maricopa). Arizona Soaring flies gliders just west of town (Arizona Commerce Authority), and Volkswagen (Arizona Commerce Authority) and Nissan, whose test center is in Stanfield (Nissan), both run proving grounds nearby. Want to walk to the park? We will price homes in the neighborhoods around it first.
