Findings: 

  • The average sales price in Scottsdale for single-family resale homes was $754,008. The lowest priced sale was a 2 bedroom/1 bath, 864 square foot home for $165,000. The highest priced sale was $6,250,000 and that was for a 6 bedroom/7 bath, 11,200 square foot home. 
  • The average sales price was $754,008, versus the average asking price of $817,628, which represents a sales price to list price percentage of 92.2%.
  • Active listings were down slightly to 4,249 from 4,304 in March. However, this is still higher than the 8 month average of 4,036.
  • Pending sales jumped to 349, the highest level we have seen since I started tracking the results in September of 2007. This is an increase of 11.9% over March 2008.
  • Sales were up to 270, well above the 8 month average of 213. Month-over-month improvement was 9.8%. 

This is positive news for the Scottsdale AZ real estate market and if the pending homes from April successfully close, we are on track for strong May results.
