– Scottsdale Luxury Home Market Performance for March 2022 –
March was a very strong month for the sale of luxury homes. Sales in all of the price points we track were up and homes that were listed for less than $3 million were selling above list price on average. In many cases, contracts and sales activity were the highest we have seen in the past year.
All of the homes in this analysis were on the market for $1 million or more. And to show greater detail, we have broken the results into four price bands.
Each month, we look at the following four things:
Active – How many homes were for sale at the end of the month.
UCB (Under Contract Accepting Backup Offers) – How many homes were under contract, but still accepting backup offers at the end of the month.
Pending – How many homes were in pending status.
Sold – The number of home sales that month.
