Now let’s take a peek at the Scottsdale real estate market:
As of today, there are 2163 actively listed properties in Scottsdale (this includes all property types)–of those, only 17 are considered distressed properties. The average days on market for the active Scottsdale listings is 148. There are 782 properties under contract and over the past 30 days, there have been 614 sales. The median sold price of the past 30 days was $585,158 and the average dollars per square foot obtained at sale was $238. Well priced homes that are in move-in ready condition are still selling quickly.
Despite the Fed’s announcement of yet another rate hike, we expect that demand will remain steady through the end of October and then peak in November and December. Rates are still under 5% for high FICO borrowers–it’s a great time to buy! If you have questions about the market, a community or particular property, contact us–we’d be honored to help.
