Here is an overview of the top luxury Scottsdale AZ Golf Communities and Scottsdale Golf Homes for Sale.
While the majority of these golf communities are located in North Scottsdale, like Desert Mountain, Silverleaf, Whisper Rock and Estancia, there are also other excellent golf communities in other towns like The Boulders in Carefree and Rancho Manana in Cave Creek to name a few.
This first chart shows each of the Scottsdale area luxury golf communities. It breaks out the number of homes for sale as of January 1, 2011 and the average asking price at that time. It also provides detail on the lowest and highest priced homes on the market so that you can see the range in home prices within the community.
As you can see, the highest priced listing is found at Desert Mountain at almost $11 million dollars. Silverleaf and Estancia come in behind that with an almost $9 million listing and an almost $7 million listing respectively.
The least expensive home could be found in the Cave Creek community of Dove Valley Ranch at just under $185K.
This second chart details the sales activity for Scottsdale area luxury golf homes sales for 2010. Again, each community’s sales statistics are outlined as well as average sales price and average cost per square foot for sold homes.
There is also a section called “Sales Price to List Price” where you can see how large the average discount off of asking price was on a community by community basis. On average, homes in Dove Valley Ranch sold the closest to asking price at 96.8%, or just over 3% off. The largest average discount off of asking price was found at Estancia at 76.5% or almost 24% off of list price. The range in discounts is not surprising as there tends to be more price flexibility at the luxury end of the market. Additionally, the volume of sales was lower so any homes that sold at a large discount had a heavier weight in the calculation.
Disclaimer: Data and information was pulled from the Arizona Regional MLS (ARMLS) as of 1/1/2011 and can change at any time. The analysis looks at resale golf community homes for sale and home sales in Scottsdale AZ , Carefree AZ and Cave Creek AZ over the last 12 months. There may be new home inventory in these figures if the developer is using the MLS to market its homes.
