Sell your home near MCAS Yuma

By James Sanson, REALTOR® · Updated October 2026

Selling a home near MCAS Yuma means selling in the city of Yuma, which has the air station on its eastern edge, or in the Foothills or Somerton nearby. Yuma fills with winter visitors from October to April, so if your report date lets you choose, list in that window; if it does not, price for the season you are in. Before you list, have your agent confirm whether the home is in the territory in the vicinity of MCAS Yuma, since Arizona sellers in that territory owe the buyer a written disclosure.

What is the housing market like near MCAS Yuma?

MCAS Yuma is in the southwest corner of Arizona, where the state meets California and Mexico, 185 miles from Phoenix and 173 from San Diego (Military OneSource). Its main gate is on Avenue 3E off Interstate 8, and Yuma International Airport is less than a mile from the station. Military OneSource counts about 3,500 service members and 1,400 civilian personnel aboard, plus about 5,700 rotational personnel, and says the station supports 80 percent of the Marine Corps' air-to-ground aviation training.

The city of Yuma has about 101,000 year-round residents. From October through April, 80,000 to 100,000 winter visitors arrive and the population doubles, by Military OneSource's account. Summer highs can top 120 degrees.

Which parts of the Yuma area are near the air station?

East and southeast Yuma (85365), the part of the city around the station.
Central Yuma (85364), the city's core.
Fortuna Foothills (85367), an unincorporated community east of the city along Interstate 8.
Somerton and San Luis, south of Yuma toward the border.

Is your Yuma home in the MCAS Yuma disclosure area?

Arizona's law sets the air station's territory at 10 miles east of the main runway's center and 5 miles in each other direction (A.R.S. 28-8461). Inside it, you owe the buyer a written disclosure before title transfers (A.R.S. 28-8484). Check your parcel against the Arizona Department of Real Estate's military airport maps before the listing goes live.

When should you list a home near MCAS Yuma?

If your report date leaves you a choice of months, list during the winter visitor season, when the most people are in town. A summer date means pricing for the people who are here then. Either way, count back from the report date: preparation, time on the market, and escrow. If closing has to happen after you leave, plan the remote signing for a Yuma sale before you go.

How do you choose a military real estate agent near MCAS Yuma?

Ask these before you sign anything:

How many homes in Yuma, the Foothills, or Somerton have you sold over the past year?
If my report date falls in summer, how will you price and market the home?
What happens if I have to report before we close?
Is my parcel inside the MCAS Yuma disclosure territory?
What term, cancellation terms, and fee will the listing agreement carry?

Before you sign, look the agent up in the ADRE public database (opens in a new tab). It shows the license, the employing broker, and any disciplinary action.

Can't keep up with the payments on a Yuma home?

Reach your servicer and a HUD-approved housing counselor early; counseling is free or low-cost. The hardship options for military homeowners guide sets out the choices in order, and the station's legal assistance office can explain Servicemembers Civil Relief Act protections. No one can promise a lender's answer.

Frequently asked questions

Does the winter visitor season change when I should list in Yuma?

It can. Military OneSource says 80,000 to 100,000 winter visitors come to Yuma from October through April, and the population doubles in that stretch. If your report date gives you a choice, list inside that window. If it does not, price for the market that is here when you list.

Does Arizona require a disclosure for homes near MCAS Yuma?

Yes, within the air station's territory: out 10 miles to the east of the main runway's center and 5 miles to the north, south, and west (A.R.S. 28-8461). The seller gives the buyer a written disclosure before title transfers (A.R.S. 28-8484).

Are MCAS Yuma and Yuma Proving Ground in the same housing market?

Yes. YPG is about 24 miles north of the city of Yuma, so sellers from both installations list homes in the Yuma area and can draw from the same buyers.

Can I sell my Yuma home after I report to my next duty station?

Yes. With a power of attorney in place, a person you trust can sign for you. Have your legal office or an attorney prepare it before you leave, and confirm it covers selling real estate.
