Monarch Master Planned Community - in the heart of Marana
TUCSON, AZ (October 31, 2025) -- In a housing market looking to find its footing, Land Advisors Organization (LAO) of Tucson continues to lead the charge in homebuilder deals in Tucson. Real Estate Daily reports that LAO Tucson has pushed its market share to over 70% heading into Q4 2025.
In October alone, LAO-Tucson reports over $48 million in lot purchases across the board, from northwest to southeast Tucson. In a strong counter to a slower market narrative, these
homebuilder purchases signal a swing to a more active Tucson market. Real Estate Daily News reports the following deals:
Rocking K: Richmond American closed on 21 platted and engineered lots for $2.1 million. The lots are 80’X125’ and located along Mountain View Way in the latest phase of the
project. The seller was Rocking K Development Co. These larger lots were the last parcel in the phase, with major new offerings at Rocking K slated for the Spring of 2026. Rocking K continues
to command the bulk of the market share in Vail.
Blackhawk: Lennar Arizona closed on 41 finished lots for $3.25 million. The lots 40’X115’, the last available lots in the project, were purchased from Forestar (USA) Real Estate
Group, Inc. This is Lennar’s second purchase from Forestar in multiple Tucson locations.
Remington Ranch: Pulte Homes purchased 112 lots in Block 2 (50’X115’), Phase 4 of Remington Ranch, known as “Copperland Estates” in Marana. The homebuilder paid
$6.84 million for the platted and engineered lots. The seller in the transaction was AMH Remington Ranch Development TRS, LLC. This was the second closing of this phase in the
past 90 days, with the previous going to Mertiage Homes. See the Real Estate Daily News article here.
Monarch: In the region’s largest bulk purchase of 2025, Ashton Woods/Starlight closed on 350 finished lots (Mix of 40’, 45’, and 50’) in the Monarch MPC in Marana for $37 million.
The seller was Sunbelt Holdings, the developer. In combination with Sunbelt, this is Ashton Woods/Starlight’s second major purchase in Tucson this year. Sunbelt continues to deliver a large number of ready-to-build lots each year across multiple projects in the Tucson metro area.
The deals were all handled by Will White and John Carroll of the Land Advisors Organization in Tucson.
"Congratulations to our clients across the market," White commented. "These transactions demonstrate serious builder confidence - several are locking in pipeline through 2027. But here's the reality: infrastructure is bottlenecking the ready inventory. There aren't many 'shovel-ready' deals left. Mix stronger demand with limited supply, and you've got an explosive 3-4 months ahead."
