ECCO Jasper 9 opens as the next phase of ECCO's Jasper build-out in Prescott Valley, with four published floor plans running 1,659 to 2,004 square feet, base pricing from the high $500s, and expected first closings in late 2026 pending final phase release. Jasper 9 sits inside the Jasper master-planned community, which means every home comes with J Club access — the shared amenity complex covering resort pools, fitness center, pickleball, tennis, bocce, fire pits, and community fiber internet. If you're coming in at ECCO's entry tier and want amenity-rich master-plan living without crossing the $700K mark, Jasper 9 is the relevant 2026 opportunity.
The four Jasper 9 plans
Verified against ECCO's published plan catalog:
- **Plan 1659** — 3 bed / 2 bath / 1,659 SF / 2-car garage - **Plan 1787** — 3 bed / 2.5 bath / 1,787 SF / 2-car garage - **Plan 1863** — 4 bed / 2.5 bath / 1,863 SF / 2-car garage - **Plan 2004** — 4 bed / 3 bath / 2,004 SF / 2-car garage
All four are single-story-or-single-story-plus-loft plans, which keeps Jasper 9 firmly in the downsizer / retiree / remote-worker lane. The 1,659 SF plan is the price leader; the 2,004 SF is the most bedroom count for families landing in the master plan.

Pricing context
Jasper 9 base pricing starts in the high $500s and climbs toward the mid-to-high $600s depending on plan, lot premium, and elevation selected. Compare to Jasper 8 ECCO next door, which runs from the high $600s across plans 2,114–2,693 SF. Jasper 9 is the smaller-plan, lower-entry companion to Jasper 8 ECCO — same builder, same amenity access, smaller home, lower price point.
For buyers comparing ECCO Jasper 9 against the rest of ECCO's Prescott-area lineup:
- **Jasper 7** — From high $400s (plans 1,281–1,765 SF) - **Jasper 9** — From high $500s (plans 1,659–2,004 SF, new phase) - **Jasper 8 ECCO** — From high $600s (plans 2,114–2,693 SF) - **Skyview** — From low $500s (plans 1,653–2,254 SF, non-Jasper so no J Club)
The Jasper 9 sweet spot is the buyer who wants J Club access (which Skyview doesn't include), needs 1,700–2,000 SF of single-story living, and isn't ready for Jasper 8 ECCO's $700K-range pricing.
Pre-sale strategy
In ECCO's phased release model, early reservations typically get the widest lot selection — corner lots, end-of-cul-de-sac lots, lots with open-space frontage. By mid-phase, the most desirable lots are usually gone.
Three things to verify with your agent before reserving:
**Base price lock.** Does the reservation contract lock base price at contract signing, or does it float with later release pricing? ECCO's terms can vary by phase — confirm explicitly.
**Plan customization windows.** Which plan elements are locked in and which can still be adjusted after reservation? Kitchen layouts, fireplaces, study-versus-bedroom conversions, and garage tandem extensions often have specific cutoff dates.
**Closing date commitment.** What's the expected completion date on your reserved lot, and what happens if construction runs long? ECCO is generally on-time, but you want the contingency language in writing.
Jasper 9 vs. Jasper 8 ECCO — which to pick
Jasper 8 ECCO is further along — three furnished decorated models (plans 2114, 2317, 2529, 2693) you can walk through today, mature landscaping in completed sections, and a known delivery timeline. Jasper 9 is earlier — you're buying off plan and renderings, with first closings expected late 2026.
If you need to be in a home by mid-2026 and you can afford the high $600s entry, Jasper 8 ECCO is the faster path. If your move date is late 2026 or early 2027 and you want the lower entry price, Jasper 9 is the better fit. Both share the J Club, both come with ECCO's warranty structure, both sit inside the same master plan.
Who Jasper 9 fits
**Single-story preference.** All four plans are designed around single-story living. If stairs are a constraint or a preference-against, Jasper 9 is well-matched.
**Equity buyers from out of state.** A California, Oregon, or Washington owner with $400K+ in home equity can cash-buy or put 60–80% down on a Jasper 9 home and eliminate most of the monthly mortgage. The home value estimate page walks through equity math by state.
**Downsizers and retirees.** The 1,659–2,004 SF range is the classic downsizer window. Smaller footprint, lower HOA+maintenance than a 3,200 SF Capstone plan, J Club amenity replacing the backyard pool / gym.
**Remote workers.** Plan 1787 and 1863 both include layouts that work well for a home office. Community fiber is included via the J Club infrastructure. Prescott Valley has the lowest property-tax-per-dollar-of-home among desirable Arizona mountain towns.
How to reserve
ECCO reservations typically go through the Jasper sales center (shared with Jasper 7 and Jasper 8 ECCO). If you want to reserve with Ty representing you, he submits your reservation alongside ECCO's sales team and coordinates the buyer-side paperwork, lot selection, and customization options through close. Buyer's-agent representation is free to you — Ty is paid by ECCO's cooperative commission at close.

Jasper 9 is the 2026 opportunity for ECCO buyers who want master-plan amenity access at the lower entry point. If you're in the high $500s-to-mid $600s budget range targeting 1,700–2,000 SF single-story living in Prescott Valley, it's the most relevant new phase opening this year.
