I may seem a little hung up on traffic this weekend, but I’ve been told more than once that over a million extra bodies are expected in downtown Scottsdale this weekend. Sounds like a huge party to me!
The City of Scottsdale does a great job keeping residents updated. I got an email at 10 p.m. last night, updating me on where to park if I was headed downtown for one of the many parties. Here’s yet another email update on how to avoid the bottlenecks.
SCOTTSDALE’S “SUPER WEEK” CONTINUES
The world is watching Scottsdale this week – and up to 1 million visitors are expected in town to check out our special events.
The FBR Open golf tournament continues at the TPC Scottsdale, the Sun Country Circuit horse show continues at WestWorld and dozens of Super Bowl related activities will unfold in Scottsdale right up to the big game this Sunday, Feb. 3.

I cannot believe that a any good realtor would not volunteer, what an opportunity to hook up with the people with the money to buy the homes in Scottsdale. Every good Realtor must support the values and say everything is okay–maybe if they would have been more honest during the debaucle so many would not have lost so much. Frankly, how does a profession with such low standards of entry, hold itself out as the predictor of value – when basically- they just do not know….buyers will come back when they ready and there is still a lot of time for them to pick up deals on the market. The only market that is doing very well is the ultimate luxury market over 3,000,000.
