What Concho parcels sold for
In our sales file of vacant Concho sales between October 2024 and August 2026, nearly half, 334, share one sale date, February 25, 2026, the same date 1,071 Arizona sales of all types carry in the file. It is a records batch, and Concho took the biggest share of it. The price table on this page gives the sale count for each size, counting sales of half an acre and up over the last two years, and it counts the batch. Among the sales with their own dates, a 10-to-40-acre parcel was typically about 36 acres.
With the batch added back, the one-acre lot median rises by about 10 percent, and the 40-acre-plus median by more than a quarter. Nothing changes shape. A one-acre lot is a low-priced asset in Concho either way, and the typical price per acre for each size is in the table on this page.
How big the pile is
The county parcel file lists 16,686 parcels in ZIP 85924, and 13,078 of them, 78 percent, are under two acres. Concho Valley Unit 3 alone has 895 parcels, and Concho Valley Unit 6 has 605. The eight largest subdivisions in the file run from 443 to 895 parcels apiece.
Now set that against the current market. Our land listings database shows 353 active listings seen in the last month and 39 sales in the last three months. At that pace, the active list is about 27 months of supply. Your lot is not competing with a few listings. It is competing with several hundred, many priced within a few thousand dollars of each other.
Subdivision by subdivision
The subdivisions price differently, and it is worth finding yours. Recorded sales, with the typical parcel size:
- Concho Valley Unit 1: 40 sales, about an acre.
- Concho Valley Unit 3: 45 sales, three acres at the median.
- Show Low Pines Unit 1: 68 sales, 1.75 acres.
- Show Low Paradise Unit 1: 45 sales, two acres.
- Windsor Valley Ranch Unit I: 20 sales, about 6.6 acres.
- Woodridge Ranch Unit 9: 22 sales, about 32 acres.
- Ranch of the White Mountains Unit 30: 19 sales, about 36 acres.
Read the last three rows against the first ones. A 32-acre Woodridge Ranch parcel sold for a median less than twice what a typical three-acre Concho Valley Unit 3 parcel brought. In this part of Apache County the record shows price rising slowly with size, and past a few acres the buyer is paying for the setting and not for the number of acres. If you own 36 acres, do not assume you own thirty-six times the value of a one-acre lot.
Half the owners live somewhere else
Of the 16,686 parcels, 8,119 are mailed to an address outside Arizona, 48.7 percent. California leads with 1,662 and Illinois follows with 831. Hawaii is third, with 727 parcels, ahead of Florida (545) and Texas (371).
If you are one of those owners, you do not need to travel. A title company handles the signing by mail and a notary, and you never need to see the property again. The Apache County page covers how a remote sale closes in the county.
Access and back taxes
The parcel data flags 9,368 of the 16,686 Concho-ZIP parcels, 56.1 percent, as landlocked. That is a screen, not a survey. In old lot subdivisions it can mean a platted road that was never built, not a parcel with no legal way in, and the two are priced differently. The sales show the discount. Sales carrying the landlocked flag went for a median about 27 percent lower under two acres (74 sales against 192), about 20 percent lower at 2 to 10 acres (38 against 103), and about 35 percent lower at 10 acres and up (102 against 66). Our guide to selling land with no road access explains how to find out which you have.
The file also flags 3,656 parcels, 21.9 percent, with delinquent property tax. Arizona counties sell tax liens each February under A.R.S. 42-18112. On a lot at Concho prices, a few years of unpaid tax, interest and fees can be a real share of the price. The back-taxes guide explains how a sale clears what you owe out of the proceeds.
