This next section shows two more sets of statistics we use to track the Scottsdale housing market.
On the top is the Percent Change Month Over Month metric. Here, we look at performance on a month-over-month basis. For instance, homes sales were up 2.4% between September and October after falling for several months.
Below that is Sales Price to List Price. This one compares average home prices to average sales prices. In October, it was 96.3%, meaning buyers saw an average discount of 3.7% off of asking prices.
