– Scottsdale Luxury Home Market Performance for July 2026 –
July was a typical summer month for the luxury home market in Scottsdale. New contract activity was slower, as were sales. However, there was a very impressive home sale performance in one of the price bands.
This report looks at the luxury home market in Scottsdale, and to show additional detail, we have broken the data down into several price bands. To be included in this report, all of the homes had to have been on the market for $1 million or more.
Starting in April, we added two new price bands because the over $3 million price point was getting too much activity, and it was hard to understand trends. We created two new price bands, which are $3- $5 million dollars and then $5 million dollars or more. We will continue including the $3 million plus price point data until we get more data in the new ones.
