Scottsdale & Paradise Valley Residential Report for Month of June. (data for month of May)
Paradise Valley: May saw a decrease in inventory in the homes for sale in the $1 - $2 million category as buyers took advantage of a chance to live in Paradise Valley at an affordable entry price. The price paid for a home versus the list price was 89.9% in this price range.
Homes priced over $2 million also saw inventory shrink as sales were up from $8.1 million to $24.7 million from the prior month. The price paid for a home was 84.1% of list price.
Scottsdale:
Homes priced $400,000 - $ 1 million saw sales stay steady however the number of homes available for sale shrank from 1747 to 1613.
Homes priced $1 million - $ 2 million saw inventory drop from 671 to 625 as sales were up from 19 to 34, almost double the prior month’s sales.
Homes priced over $2 million saw modest gains in sales and a slight decrease in inventory.
Conclusion: Appears buyers have felt the time to buy is now as some areas have seen modest price gains and inventory has been steadily declining in the under $ 2 million ranges. Buyers that waited for shadow inventory to enter the market or more negative news to impact prices risk not getting a great deal in hopes of getting a better deal- a risky strategy that many buyers have apparently avoided.
For anyone looking for a bargain there are excellent opportunities in the over $2 million category.
