    Scottsdale 85257 Home Sales

    There’s been a bit of downward price fluctuation, which remains relatively small in comparison to what we are seeing in many other areas of the Phoenix metropolitan area.  The number of home sales is also steady.

     

    What brought this apparent stabilization all to my attention is the following chart, which I receive in my weekly updates from Altos Research.  Notice the green box at the bottom of the chart… that indicates that the Market Action Index is Cool, as opposed the Cold assessment that we’ve been seeing for a very long time.  All other zip codes in the Scottsdale city limits still remain a strong buyer’s market, but 85257 is definitely inching its way back to a balanced market.

    You’ll notice that the average listing price is increasing, while the number of days the house has been on market is decreasing.  In entry level homes, the average days on market is running about 90 days.

    Finally, a chart of the Market Action Index, Altos proprietary formula, which identifies the type of market we are in… and while 85257 is still in a buyer’s market, the trends do appear to be changing.

    (Caveat:  The average lot size is off in the chart above.  By far, most homes in this area of Scottsdale are on lots that are in the range of 6,000-8,000 square feet.  There are a couple that are in the 1/2-1 acre range, but these are definitely the exception.)
