Scottsdale AZ real estate is some of the most wonderful real estate in the state of Arizona. Scottsdale is a city that can offer any lifestyle you choose - urban or suburban, family-friendly, singles, working or retired – and the list goes on. Whatever lifestyle you prefer, you can find it in Scottsdale and its adjoining cities and towns. The housing market in Scottsdale offers an enormous variety of choices from condos to multi-million dollar estates. The choice is yours.

Scottsdale is located in central Arizona in the heart of the lush Sonoran Desert. It enjoys an average of 330 days of sun per year and a median temperature of 72.6 degrees year-round. Combine this with over 200 golf courses within the greater metro area, including the well-known Troon and TPC courses, and you can understand why it has earned the title of Golfer’s Paradise. In addition to golf, the city offers healthy outdoor pursuits for everyone. There are over 58 miles of public bike paths and 40 miles of shared hiking, riding and horse trails. From a cultural perspective, Scottsdale offers more than 125 art galleries and museums and the world-famous Taliesin West, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Needless to say, Scottsdale AZ real estate is a favorite of many people looking to relocate full-time as well as folks looking to escape from more severe winter temperatures. In April of 2008, the average single-family home sale price in Scottsdale was $754,008. There were 270 home sales, with the highest priced home being sold for $6,250,000, and the lowest priced home being sold for $165,000. There are some excellent real estate deals in this wonderful community, but you need a local market expert to help you.
