Here is an overview of several Scottsdale golf communities and the active homes for sale at the end of May 2010. For each golf community, I looked at the number of homes on the market, the average price of those homes and noted the range of home prices from low to high.
Terravita in North Scottsdale is the most affordable of all of the communities with the lowest priced home and the lowest average asking price per square foot of $225.89. The average list price of homes in Terravita is just over $500,000. On the other end of the spectrum is Estancia, which currently has the highest average asking price per square foot of $582.20 and the most expensive home on the market at $15,000,000. Whisper Rock is currently the most expensive Scottsdale golf community to purchase in as far as lowest priced homes. The lowest priced home on the market at Whisper Rock at the end of May 2010 was $1,699,000. As the largest golf community, with over 8,000 acres, Desert Mountain has the most inventory for sale with 223 homes.
