– Scottsdale Luxury Home Market Performance for April 2026 –

April was another decent month for the luxury home market in Scottsdale. The entry-level luxury homes had a fantastic month from a sales perspective, but at the higher price points, we did see sales decrease from the previous month.

To be included in this report, all of these homes had to have been on the market for $1,000,000 or more. I’ve broken the data down into several price bands to show the market dynamics a little bit better.

Starting this month, I’ve added two new price bands because the over $3 million price point was getting too much activity, and it was hard to understand trends. I will continue including the $3 million plus price point data for a while, but I’ve also created two new price bands which are $3- $5 million dollars and then $5 million dollars or more.
