October was a lackluster month for the luxury home market in Scottsdale. The number of home for sales is up in all price ranges, although not dramatically. However, we need to see some of this inventory being absorbed versus being added to. Sales and pending sales were mixed, although we did see some strong sales in a few of the price bands. Looking at the pending numbers, November may be a challenging month as well.
