The next section of this report looks at two other pieces of information related to the real estate market in Scottsdale.
First, there is a look at how sales activity changed relative to the previous month. For instance, sales were down 5.9% in May when compared to April.
The second section tracks the average sales price of homes in comparison to their average asking prices, in other words, sales price to list price. In May, buyers on average paid 96.1% of asking price, a 3.9% average discount.
May was another positive month for Scottsdale real estate. We are seeing things taper off as we head into the warmer summer months, so I anticipate June to be a bit quieter than May.
