JULY 2018 RESULTS
- Scottsdale Homes for Sale: Inventory dropped again as sellers took their homes off of the market and sales were solid. July closed with less than 1,500 homes for sale, the lowest it has been in the past year.
- UCB (Under contract, accepting backup offers): The number of homes in UCB status fell almost 16% between June and July.
- Pending Homes Sales in Scottsdale: Whereas UCB homes were down in July, pending homes were actually up slightly over June, closing out the month at 286.

This next section contains two more things we track on a monthly basis.
The first section is how things are changing on a month-over-month basis. So if you look at the sold data, you can see that sales were down 15.9% in July compared with June.
The second section is a quick look to see how home prices and actual sales prices are faring. Called sales price to list price, it tracks how much homes are selling for relative to their asking prices. In July, homes on average sold for 96.2% of list price. Looking at it another way, buyers on average purchased homes at a 3.8% discount.
July was a transition month for Scottsdale home sales. Inventory and sales activity tapered off and will likely to continue to do so for the next few months.
*Figures for active homes for sale, UCB sales and pending sales are based on the numbers at the end of the month.
