– Scottsdale AZ Luxury Home Market Performance for September 2013 –
September was a mixed month for luxury home sales in Scottsdale, but inventory was up across the board.
To prepare this analysis, I used homes with asking prices of $1 million or more. Since performance can change greatly depending on the price point, I segmented the data further into four price bands to show additional detail.
Each price band includes the following information:
Active – How many homes were on the market at the end of the month.
Pending – Home many homes sales that were pending at the end of the month.
Sold – How many homes closed during the month.
– September 2013 –
