December was a mixed month for sales. Because of the holidays, new contract activity was down across the board, but a very strong November posted some decent home sales.
This report examines the luxury home market in Scottsdale. All of these homes had list prices of $1,000,000 or more. And to show more granular data, we’ve split this information into four price segments.
