We have gorgeous weather in Scottsdale, and the white heron obviously agree. Yesterday morning was a bit cooler than usual, about 41° F, and the McCormick Ranch Golf Course lakes were steaming. I wondered down with my camera, and as I came over the crest of the hill, it was really clear that the heron have landed. They seem to be here pretty much year-round, but rarely have I seen the flock so big.
Gorgeous birds, aren’t they? And a lovely sunrise, too.
Today, the state of Arizona is 100 years old, and I’d like to share a fun little tune about Arizona I recorded yesterday at a class I took on Arizona history. Ken Bennett, Arizona’s Secretary of State, took the stage at the beginning of class and shared his thoughts!
Pretty amazing, but if you talk to any working Realtor, you’ll hear the same story. Lots of buyers and not enough homes on the market to satisfy the demand.
A couple things to know about Scottsdale residential real estate.
First, median home prices in Scottsdale are significantly higher than the rest of metropolitan Phoenix. And this is a trend that’s held true over the past ten years.
Median home prices in Scottsdale are currently in the $400K range, while Phoenix and other surrounding cities range from $100-200K.
The other interesting fact that for you to know is that Scottsdale weathered the downturn better than most surrounding cities. While median home sales price in Scottsdale was about $300,000 in 2001, it’s still 33% higher than than 10-plus years later. In comparison, Phoenix has dropped slightly over that time period.
