Here are the most recent figures for the Scottsdale single-family home resale market. Sales dropped off a bit in July, but the number of active listings dropped again, which is good news.

July Highlights:
- Active listings dropped again to 3,872, a 1.8% decrease over June. This figure has been dropping since March where it hit a high of 4,304 active listings. This is good news in that some of the excess inventory is getting absorbed by the market each month.
- Pending sales were down again to 327, or -3.3% over June. This is the second month in a row we have seen this number decline, which will have an impact on August’s sales numbers.
- There were 286 homes sold in July, down from 321 in June. As I mentioned in June’s performance report, the drop in pendings would most likely impact July’s numbers.
Overall, July was a mixed month. It is very encouraging to see the active homes for sale inventory go down every month, but having the pendings and sales decrease puts a damper on the momentum Scottsdale had going for the last several months.
