Is Now a Good Time to Buy in Mesa Dunes? A Look at the Last 90 Days of Sales Trends

Mesa Dunes Mobile Home Estates has seen steady sales activity over the past three months, giving buyers and sellers a clear window into current pricing, days on market, and how much room there is to negotiate.

Recent sales show that well-priced, updated homes are still moving quickly, while homes in original condition are sitting longer and closing with significant concessions.

One standout was Space #28, a clean and well-updated 3-bedroom home that closed at $270,000 after just 15 days on market. Despite the speed, the buyer still negotiated over $13,000 in concessions for closing costs and possible repairs.

Compare that to Space #234, which took 112 days to sell, finally closing at $210,000 with $8,000 in concessions, mostly for pest clearance and minor improvements. This home was well maintained but less updated, showing that even cosmetic differences can drive negotiation opportunities.

In between those extremes was Space #253, which fetched the highest recent sale at $315,000—but that home had been fully remodeled, with new flooring, custom cabinetry, and upgraded kitchens and baths.

Overall, the last 90 days suggest the Mesa Dunes market is active but sensitive to condition and pricing. Buyers focused on move-in-ready homes should expect to pay closer to list price but still have room to ask for credits tied to space rent or closing costs. On the other hand, homes in fair or dated condition are taking longer to sell and offering buyers opportunities to negotiate more aggressively on both price and terms.

Looking at days on market trends, well-priced homes under $270,000 are moving within 15-30 days if updated. Dated homes or those priced over $300,000 without upgrades are staying active for 60 days or longer, giving buyers negotiating leverage.

The takeaway for buyers right now is this: Mesa Dunes remains a buyer-favorable market for homes needing work, while competitive for clean, updated homes priced right. Buyers should come prepared with comps like #28 and #234 to support their offers and push for seller credits where appropriate.
