Wellton Arizona Real Estate Market Report — July 2026

About Wellton: Wellton is an incorporated town in Yuma County (population approximately 2,780 year-round, roughly doubling each winter with snowbirds), located 29 miles east of Yuma along Interstate 8. Wellton Arizona Real Estate is anchored in a single zip code, 85356, which also covers nearby unincorporated areas including Tacna and Wellton Hills. The town was incorporated in 1970 and sits at the heart of the Wellton-Mohawk agricultural valley.

Wellton Arizona Real Estate pushed deeper into buyer-favorable territory in July 2026, with single-family medians easing to about $281,000 as the summer transaction lull continued and inventory kept building. Active listings climbed to 71, days on market expanded to 88, and months of supply pushed to 7.9… the year’s structural low point for pricing before the October snowbird return. The town’s fundamentals are unchanged. Two 18-hole golf courses, deeply affordable property taxes, federal employment anchored by the Wellton Border Patrol Station, and easy I-8 access to Yuma’s services continue to underwrite long-term demand for Wellton Arizona Real Estate. For buyers priced out of Yuma proper or Fortuna Foothills, this is the I-8 corridor’s most accessible Yuma County market and the 2026 negotiation window that closes fastest once September listing-pull begins.

Prices & Volume… July 2026

Wellton Arizona Real Estate is deep in buyer-favorable territory in July 2026, with 7.9 months of supply and a sale-to-list ratio at 95.0%. The single-family median of $281,000 is essentially flat year-over-year, while average price slipped 0.9%… the sequential softening pattern that defines mid-summer in snowbird-heavy retirement markets continues from June into July. Price per square foot at $174 is up 0.6% YoY, meaning the per-foot value of well-located inventory continues to hold even as headline median figures ease further.

The active inventory of 71 homes is the highest count in over two years and reflects the year’s natural inventory peak. Snowbird-departure listings that were still on the market in May and June continued to accumulate through July, and year-round-resident summer-move listings added on top. The market remains bifurcated. On the affordable end, 1960s-era and 1980s-era manufactured and stick-built homes in the original Wellton Annex and West Main subdivisions list from $130,000 to $200,000. On the upper end, newer 2020-2022 builds in the Links at Coyote Wash and golf-frontage properties list from $275,000 to $425,000. Days on market at 88 is the year’s structural high and represents the widest negotiation gap sellers will face this cycle… buyers targeting listings past the 60-day threshold have the strongest leverage of 2026 to date. September listing-pull typically compresses this window fast.

By Zip Code

Wellton uses a single zip code, 85356. This zip is unusually large geographically because it also serves the unincorporated communities of Tacna (about 12 miles east) and Wellton Hills, plus the agricultural acreage of the Wellton-Mohawk Valley. Listings inside the incorporated town limits cluster around the historic core north of I-8 and the newer golf-anchored subdivisions south of I-8. Listings outside the town boundary tend to be rural acreage, farms, and outlying manufactured-home parcels.

  • 85356 (Wellton, Tacna, Wellton Hills, Wellton-Mohawk Valley): Median sale price $281,000… essentially flat year-over-year, with average price down 0.9% and per-square-foot value up 0.6%. In-town Wellton residential clusters around Coyote Wash, Butterfield Bluff, and the older grid north of I-8 set the comp; rural acreage and Tacna-area properties price independently and trade less frequently. July inventory at 71 active is the highest count in over two years and marks the annual peak.

Wellton Neighborhoods & Subdivisions

Wellton’s subdivision picture is small but real. The dominant master subdivision is Coyote Wash, anchored by the 18-hole Coyote Wash Golf Course south of Interstate 8, with the newer Links at Coyote Wash phase producing most of the town’s 2020-2024 new construction. Butterfield Bluff is the second-recognized neighborhood, named for the historic Butterfield stagecoach route and now adjacent to the public 18-hole Par 3 Butterfield Golf Course. Older central Wellton north of I-8 is organized around Wellton Annex, West Main, and Citrus Park… all original-town grid neighborhoods built between the 1950s and 1990s.

85356

Coyote Wash / Links at Coyote Wash

$249K to $425K

85356

Wellton Annex

$130K to $210K

Original-town grid north of Interstate 8 between Oakland Avenue and San Jose Avenue. Smaller lots, 1950s through 1990s construction, mostly stick-built single-family with some manufactured homes. Closest neighborhood to Wellton Town Hall, the police department, the elementary school, and the I-8 retail strip. Entry-level pricing.

85356

West Main Subdivision

$160K to $280K

West side of Wellton’s original grid, mix of larger lots and ranch-style mid-century homes. Listing activity here typically includes 1960s-1970s pier-and-beam homes on 1/4 acre to 1/2 acre lots, occasionally with detached workshops or carports. Strong appeal to buyers wanting space, garden potential, and minimal HOA exposure.

85356

Copper Ridge

$140K to $260K

Smaller subdivision on the south side of town, mix of manufactured homes and stick-built singles. Lower price point than Coyote Wash with quick access to the Coyote Wash course. Active inventory rotates frequently. Popular with winter-only owners using the home four to six months per year.

85356

Citrus Park / Tacna Area

$95K to $200K

Mostly rural and outlying, includes the small Citrus Park subdivision and the Tacna-area parcels east of Wellton proper. Larger lots, agricultural neighbors, and the lowest entry-point pricing in 85356. Best fit for buyers who want acreage, want to install a manufactured home, or want a long-term lot hold for future build.

Wellton’s overall housing stock is heavily skewed toward single-family detached and manufactured housing. There is no organized condo or townhome inventory of any meaningful scale. Buyers seeking attached housing should look 29 miles west in Yuma. All subdivision addresses on this page were verified inside Wellton, AZ 85356 against current MLS listings.

Schools & School Districts

Per the Arizona Department of Education FY25 A-F Letter Grades (released April 15, 2026), Wellton Arizona Real Estate buyers evaluating schools should know that two districts serve the town. Wellton Elementary District (K-8) earned an LEA grade of B at the district level. Antelope Union High School District (9-12) earned an LEA grade of C at the district level. The K-8 district is single-school (Wellton Elementary), while Antelope Union serves Wellton plus the surrounding agricultural communities of Mohawk Valley, Hyder/Dateland, and Tacna. ADE FY25 grades are the most current state-issued data available.

Wellton Elementary District… B-Rated District

The Wellton Elementary District operates a single K-8 campus, Wellton Elementary School at 29126 E San Jose Avenue. Per ADE FY25 official data, Wellton Elementary earned a B letter grade with 70.31 total points earned out of 100 eligible, driven by strong growth scores (41.87 points) and full Acceleration Readiness credit (10 points). Proficiency at 13.44 reflects the rural agricultural demographic profile, but year-over-year growth keeps the district in B territory and ahead of many similarly-sized Arizona rural districts.

Antelope Union High School District… C-Rated District

Antelope Union HSD operates Antelope Union High School at 9168 South Avenue 36 East, just outside Wellton proper. Per ADE FY25 data, Antelope Union earned a C letter grade with 56.56 total points earned, supported by a strong 10.0 graduation rate score and 10.34 growth points. Antelope Union serves Wellton, Tacna, Dateland, Mohawk Valley, and the Hyder area, drawing students from a broad geographic catchment. Specialized vocational tracks run through Southwest Technical Education District of Yuma at the STEDY-Antelope HS Satellite on the same campus.

Always verify your specific school assignment before making an offer. Boundary lines run along I-8 and the eastern town edge, and rural-acreage buyers should confirm zone assignment directly with the Wellton Elementary District and Antelope Union HSD offices, NOT just from third-party portals.

Source note: All letter grades on this page reflect the official Arizona Department of Education FY25 A-F release (April 15, 2026), the most current state-issued data available. Third-party aggregators (Niche, GreatSchools, SchoolGrade) are secondary references only and do not override official ADE grades.

Safety & Crime in Wellton

Wellton presents a mixed safety picture that Wellton Arizona Real Estate buyers should understand clearly before making an offer. The town’s CrimeGrade overall safety grade is D+, ranking in the 24th percentile nationally. That percentile reads worse than it actually is on the ground for residents… most reported crime concentrates in the central commercial corridor along Interstate 8 where retail establishments, the I-8 truck stop traffic, and visitor density inflate the per-resident rate. Residential subdivisions south of I-8 (Coyote Wash, Butterfield Bluff) and the western West Main grid see materially fewer incidents per the same data.

Law Enforcement Jurisdiction in Wellton

Wellton is an incorporated town with its own municipal police force, the Wellton Police Department, headquartered at 28618 W. Oakland Avenue. The department operates 24-hour emergency services and dispatches through the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office Communications Department. The Yuma County Sheriff’s Office operates a substation in Wellton (one of four YCSO substations countywide) covering the unincorporated areas immediately east, north, and south of incorporated Wellton, including Tacna and Wellton-Mohawk Valley parcels. Highway enforcement on Interstate 8 and U.S. Highway 95 is handled by the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Buyers purchasing inside town limits will be served primarily by Wellton PD; buyers purchasing rural acreage outside the town boundary fall under Yuma County Sheriff jurisdiction, which matters for response time expectations.

Wellton Safety Snapshot

Per CrimeGrade.org analysis, Wellton’s overall safety grade reflects an above-average per-capita rate driven heavily by the central commercial district. Residential subdivision crime is materially lower than the town-wide average. The chance of being a victim of violent crime in Wellton is 1 in 2,639 per FBI 2024 UCR data… significantly below the national rate.

Subdivision-level reading matters here. The south side of town (Coyote Wash, Butterfield Bluff, Copper Ridge) scores significantly safer than the central commercial corridor along I-8 per CrimeGrade neighborhood data. Property crime (theft, package theft, vehicle break-ins along the I-8 truck-stop corridor) drives most of the per-capita rate; violent crime is rare. Year-over-year FBI data shows total Wellton crime decreased 47.4% in the most recent comparison year, with violent crime down 71.4%. That trajectory matters more than the static grade for someone planning a 5-to-10-year hold.

Major Employers & Commute

Wellton’s employment base is anchored by federal government (Border Patrol, Yuma Proving Ground), municipal government, education, agriculture, and the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation District. The town is heavily retiree and snowbird, so a smaller share of the resident workforce commutes locally compared to Phoenix metro suburbs… but for working buyers, government and ag employment is the dominant story.

Top employers within commuting distance

U.S. Border Patrol Wellton Station In town
U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground 50 mi NW
Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation & Drainage District In town
Five Rivers Cattle Feeding In town

Marine Corps Air Station Yuma 32 mi W
Walmart Supercenter (Yuma) 29 mi W
Arizona Western College 25 mi W
Gowan Company (agribusiness) 29 mi W (Yuma)

The two government anchors deserve specific attention. The Wellton Border Patrol Station opened in fall 2011 in a 50,000 square foot facility designed to house up to 375 agents and support staff… it covers Yuma, La Paz, and Mohave counties plus the eastern slice of three California counties. Yuma Proving Ground, 50 miles northwest via U.S. 95, is Yuma County’s largest civilian employer with over 2,000 civilian personnel across the 1,300-square-mile installation. Combined with municipal and school district payroll, Wellton has a structurally stable wage base that does NOT track tourism or single-industry boom-bust cycles… which is why the housing market holds value through economic downturns better than tourist towns.

New Construction… Active Builds at Coyote Wash

Wellton’s new construction picture in July 2026 is unchanged at the community level… still concentrated in the Links at Coyote Wash phase of the Coyote Wash master subdivision. No new master-planned community announced in Wellton this cycle and no national-builder entry on the scale of Lennar, Taylor Morrison, or Pulte from Phoenix-suburb markets. New builds in Wellton remain small-scale local and regional builders delivering single homes and small-cluster phases on platted Coyote Wash lots. Watch price movement here in July and August. Resale softening in June and July has not yet translated into builder price cuts on the active Sonora Street and Picacho Street inventory, but if any Coyote Wash new-build listing exceeds 90 days on market, expect a rate buydown or closing-cost credit to appear before September.

  • Links at Coyote Wash (active): 11611 Sonora Street, Wellton, AZ 85356 ✅. Verified new-construction listings include 11627 Sonora St ($315,500, 1,574 sq ft) and 11611 Sonora St ($275,700, 1,372 sq ft). 2-3 bedroom single-story floor plans, 1,300 to 1,600 square feet, golf course community. Local builder delivery, NOT national builder.
  • Coyote Wash custom lots (active): Buildable lots throughout the Coyote Wash subdivision are available for owner-build or builder partnership. Coyote Wash Golf Course at 11902 Williams Street, Wellton, AZ 85356 ✅ is the master anchor.

Beyond the Links at Coyote Wash phase, buyers seeking new builds in Wellton also have access to rural acreage in the Wellton-Mohawk Valley (5 to 40 acre parcels supporting manufactured home installs and custom stick-built homes outside HOA boundaries, with power and water service varying parcel-by-parcel) and to outside-the-HOA single-lot builds. Those are land plays, not organized new-construction communities, and should be evaluated as such.

Important disclosure: Wellton has no community facilities district (CFD) overlay debt of the type buyers encounter in newer Phoenix-suburb master plans. Property tax burden in 85356 is among the lowest in metropolitan Arizona… median real estate property taxes for housing units with mortgages run approximately $962 annually, with no-mortgage households averaging $553 annually. HOA fees in Coyote Wash are modest by metro Phoenix standards. Always confirm exact HOA dues, CC&Rs, and any irrigation district assessments on any specific Coyote Wash lot before close.

What Wellton Residents Say

Themes pulled from public resident reviews on Niche and city forums consistently surface three points: small-town safety feel inside subdivisions despite the headline crime grade, the snowbird-doubling seasonal economy, and the gap between Wellton’s affordability and Yuma’s prices.

Small town community, everyone knows everyone. There is not much besides a swimming pool, public park, and a library for the kids. It is a great community and you can walk the streets without feeling unsafe.

Long-time resident • Niche community review

I lived in Wellton for about ten years. It is a peaceful town, however there are not many job opportunities. If you have remote work or you are retired, it is hard to beat. If you need to drive into Yuma for work, the commute is reasonable.

Former resident • Niche community review

The winter season completely transforms Wellton. The RV parks fill up, the golf courses are packed, and the population basically doubles. Then April hits and most of the snowbirds head north. If you want activity, buy here. If you want quiet, plan around the season.

Winter visitor turned full-time resident • Community forum theme

We moved out of Yuma because we wanted a lower property tax bill and a slower pace. Wellton gave us both. The schools were better than we expected, and the Coyote Wash golf course makes it feel like a much bigger town than 2,500 people.

Relocated from Yuma proper • Resident testimonial theme

Why Wellton Arizona Real Estate Matters in 2026

Wellton sits at an unusual intersection… small-town Arizona with federal-government wage stability, two 18-hole golf courses, a snowbird-driven seasonal economy, the lowest entry pricing in Yuma County’s I-8 corridor, and direct interstate access to both Yuma’s metropolitan services and Phoenix metro 130 miles east. It is not a flip market and it is not a speculation market. It is a hold market for buyers who understand what they’re buying.

Key drivers supporting Wellton Arizona Real Estate include:

  • Federal employment anchor… U.S. Border Patrol Wellton Station capacity for 375 agents plus surrounding Yuma Sector overlap. Stable government payroll regardless of private-sector cycles.
  • Yuma Proving Ground proximity… 2,000+ civilian personnel anchor 50 miles northwest, with sustained Army Test and Evaluation Command activity through the FY26 budget cycle and beyond.
  • Two 18-hole golf courses in a 2,800-person town… Coyote Wash (championship, Gary Panks design, 6,089 yards) and Butterfield (Par 3, 18 holes). Golf-course-density per resident exceeds many luxury markets.
  • Snowbird seasonal doubling… winter visitor demand fills RV parks and short-term rentals, supporting Wellton retail and restaurant economics that would not survive on 2,800 year-round residents alone.
  • Lowest median price in the Yuma I-8 corridor… $281,000 median in July 2026 vs Yuma proper around $310,000 to $325,000 and Fortuna Foothills higher still. Entry-level pricing under $150,000 exists nowhere else in Yuma County’s incorporated towns.
  • Single zip code simplicity… 85356 covers the entire town and surrounding valley. Buyers don’t need to learn five overlapping zip code zones the way they do in Phoenix or Tucson.
  • Wellton-Mohawk agricultural valley… a working irrigation district with century-old water infrastructure. Citrus, lettuce, onions, and cotton drive year-round ag employment.
  • Low property tax structure… median real estate taxes around $962 (mortgaged) and $553 (no mortgage). No CFD overlay debt of the type Phoenix-suburb buyers encounter.
  • Incorporated town with municipal PD… Wellton has its own police department and municipal court, NOT a CDP relying entirely on county sheriff. Local governance and code enforcement on the ground.
  • I-8 access in both directions… 29 minutes to Yuma’s medical, retail, college, and military bases; under 2 hours to West Valley Phoenix. Connection without metropolitan congestion or pricing.

Wellton is a strategic long-term affordability and lifestyle market, NOT a speculative appreciation play. Buyers who understand that the town will continue to be small, retiree-skewed, and seasonally-driven will be very happy here. Buyers expecting Phoenix-style appreciation should buy in Phoenix.

July 2026… Buyer & Seller Takeaways

  • Buyers: This is the year’s negotiation peak. Active inventory at 71 listings is the highest count in over two years, months of supply at 7.9 is deep buyer-favorable, and sale-to-list at 95.0% says sellers are accepting real discounts. Push hardest on listings past 90 days on market… they have the most seller fatigue.
  • Sellers: Days on market expanded to 88 in July, up from 81 in June and 72 in May. If you must sell this summer, price against THIS month’s active comp set… nothing older. Consider a September relaunch instead of a July price cut if you have the runway. Coyote Wash newer builds still clear fastest.
  • Retirees: Median household age in Wellton is 65.5 and 1,316 of 2,172 adults are seniors. July pricing softness creates the year’s structural entry window for retiree buyers locking in before the October snowbird-return cycle pushes pricing back up.
  • Snowbirds: Buy NOW for next winter. Winter visitor demand peaks October through April. July is the deepest structural negotiation low point in Wellton Arizona Real Estate pricing. Lock the home before September listing-pull compresses the buyer’s window.
  • Government employees: Border Patrol and Yuma Proving Ground commute logistics are critical. Wellton Station is in-town; YPG is 50 miles via I-8 and U.S. 95. Plan housing location around shift schedules. July inventory peak aligns with summer relocation orders.
  • Investors: Wellton is a buy-and-hold cash-flow market, NOT an appreciation flip. July’s inventory peak plus softest sale-to-list of the cycle creates entry-point opportunity on older inventory. Long-term agricultural acreage holds are a different play than residential turnkey.

What are condo prices in Wellton?

Wellton has effectively no attached-housing condo market. The town is single-family detached, manufactured housing, and rural agricultural property. Buyers seeking condos should look 29 miles west in Yuma proper.

Why does Wellton matter for buyers and sellers in 2026?

Wellton Arizona Real Estate offers the lowest median price in Yuma County’s I-8 corridor, two 18-hole golf courses, strong winter-visitor demand that doubles the population seasonally, and stable government-anchored employment from Border Patrol and Yuma Proving Ground.

What is the days on market in Wellton in July 2026?

Days on market for Wellton single-family homes runs approximately 88 days in July 2026, up from 81 days in June 2026. The continued expansion reflects the deepest point of the summer negotiation window in a snowbird-driven market. Well-priced Coyote Wash listings still close within standard timelines.

How does Wellton compare to Yuma for home prices?

Wellton runs approximately 10 to 13 percent below the Yuma proper median in July 2026, with the Wellton median near $281,000 versus Yuma metro around $310,000 to $325,000. The gap widened slightly this month as Wellton softened faster than Yuma. Buyers gain golf course access and lower property taxes in exchange for the 29-mile commute to Yuma’s services.

Is Wellton a good place for snowbirds?

Yes. Wellton’s population effectively doubles in winter as snowbirds from the western U.S. and Canadian provinces fill RV parks and seasonal homes. Two 18-hole golf courses, low property taxes, easy I-8 access, and stable winter weather make Wellton one of Yuma County’s leading snowbird destinations. The market is structured around this seasonal pattern.

What HOA fees apply at Coyote Wash in Wellton?

HOA fees at Coyote Wash and the Links at Coyote Wash phase are modest by metro Phoenix standards, typically running well below what buyers encounter in active-adult Phoenix-suburb master plans. Exact dues vary by phase and lot type and should be confirmed in the title commitment and CC&Rs before close on any specific Wellton Arizona Real Estate transaction.

Is Wellton in a buyer’s or seller’s market in July 2026?

Wellton is deep in buyer-favorable territory in July 2026, with 7.9 months of supply and 71 active listings versus 9 monthly sales. Sale-to-list ratio at 95.0 percent and 88-day DOM both reflect meaningful negotiation leverage for buyers, particularly on older inventory north of Interstate 8 and on any listing that has crossed the 60-day threshold. This is the year’s structural low point for pricing before the October snowbird return.

Methodology & Sources

Coverage area: Wellton Arizona Real Estate across zip code 85356, including incorporated Wellton plus the unincorporated Wellton Hills and Tacna communities and the Wellton-Mohawk Valley.

Data sources: Monthly closed-sale and active-listing data is compiled from local sales records and verified across multiple area data sources before publication. Public records, builder sales centers, and city planning documents are used for new construction figures and address verification. School ratings are drawn from Arizona Department of Education state report cards, Niche, GreatSchools, and SchoolGrade. Crime data comes from CrimeGrade, AreaVibes, and FBI Uniform Crime Reports.

Update cadence: This report is rebuilt the moment new market data is released each month, typically between the 7th and the 10th. Reported figures reflect the most recent complete monthly cut available at publication. Figures presented as ranges reflect normal mid-month variation across data sources, so you always see realistic numbers… not cherry-picked ones.

Author: Compiled by Arizona Homes and Condos Realty. We intentionally do not list properties on this site… Arizona’s market changes too fast for static listing pages to remain accurate.

Here is what actually happens when you reach out. If you are a buyer, a dedicated full-time agent who specializes in your exact target area starts working on your behalf immediately… researching both on-market AND off-market opportunities. Today’s real estate moves so quickly that many of the best properties never reach the national websites at all. You need someone with local relationships pulling for you.

If you are a seller, a local dedicated full-time listing agent reaches out personally to discuss your goals, your timeline, and the details of your property… so we can position you for the strongest possible outcome.
