None the less, I do believe that home prices in this zip code will stabilize and recover more quickly than other areas of Scottsdale.   [...]

Believe it or not, you can buy real estate in Scottsdale for under $100,000, especially in today’s market.  Granted there are not many homes in this price range, when compared to the whole Scottsdale market, but they are available.
