Welcome to our comprehensive analysis of the Scottsdale real estate market as of November 8th, 2023. In this blog post, we’ll dive deep into the latest trends, statistics, and insights, offering valuable information for both buyers and sellers. Don’t miss our detailed video overview, presented by Dusti Martin from the Martin Group at Platinum Living Realty, embedded below.

Market Overview: The Scottsdale real estate market has shown some interesting trends this November. Active listings have decreased by 10.6% compared to last year, indicating a tighter market. However, this is a typical pattern during summer and as we head into the holiday season.

Interest Rates and Market Dynamics: One key factor affecting the market is the rise in interest rates. Compared to last year, rates have increased, hovering just above 7%. This shift has impacted buyer behavior and the overall dynamics of the market. Despite this, attractive rates are still available for well-qualified buyers, emphasizing the importance of a strong financial profile.

Price Trends: We’re witnessing a 3.1% increase in the median price per square foot, signaling a return to normal yearly appreciation. This trend is a healthy sign, indicating a return to stability after the heightened activity of the past few years.

Detailed Market Analysis: Let’s break down the market by various price ranges to understand better where opportunities lie for buyers and sellers:

1. $0 – $200,000 Range: In the lower price range, we’re seeing specific dynamics. Homes priced under $100,000 are in a white-hot sellers’ market, while the $100,000 – $200,000 range presents a different picture, likely due to the nature of the properties available in this bracket.
2. $200,000 – $500,000 Range: This price range is experiencing a strong sellers’ market, with significant competition among buyers, especially in the $200,000 – $300,000 bracket. Homes here are selling quickly, often with multiple offers.
3. Above $500,000: In the higher price ranges, the market still favors sellers but with less intensity. Properties priced between $500,000 and $1 million are seeing steady sales with moderate competition.
4. Luxury Market ($3 Million and Above): The luxury market in Scottsdale presents a unique scenario. Currently, it’s a buyer’s market in this segment, with a high supply of inventory. Selling a luxury property now requires strategic pricing and aggressive marketing.

Predictions and Future Trends: As we approach the end of the year, we anticipate the market to maintain its current trajectory, with potential variations due to seasonal changes and economic factors. The luxury market, in particular, might see some shifts as we enter the new year.

Conclusion: Scottsdale’s real estate market is diverse and dynamic. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, a seasoned investor, or looking to sell your property, understanding these trends is crucial. For tailored advice and the latest updates, don’t hesitate to contact Dusti Martin.
