Market Monday | What Scottsdale Buyers and Sellers Should Know!
Mondays aren’t just for fresh coffee and new to-do lists — they’re also the perfect time to reset and check in on the Scottsdale real estate market. Numbers shift week by week, and if you only follow national headlines, you might miss what’s really happening right here in our city.
Here’s a snapshot of Scottsdale over the last 7 days (9/22–9/29):
255 New Listings hit the market, giving buyers more choices than we’ve seen in months.
151 Homes Closed — proof that demand remains steady, and buyers are still making moves.
122 Homes Went Under Contract (Pending), showing buyers aren’t just browsing — they’re serious.
62 Homes Came Back on Market after falling out of contract, offering second chances for buyers who missed out the first time.
83 Listings Were Cancelled, highlighting how important pricing and presentation are in today’s climate.
85 Homes Were Listed as Coming Soon, so fresh opportunities are already lined up.
Inventory is climbing
With 255 new listings in a single week, buyers are seeing far more options than they had earlier this summer. For those who’ve been waiting, this is the time to re-engage.
Homes are still moving
Even with more inventory, 151 homes closed and 122 went under contract. That tells us serious buyers are still ready to act when the right property comes up. This isn’t a “wait and see” market — lifestyle needs keep driving decisions.
The luxury lane is steady
In Paradise Valley and North Scottsdale, demand for homes above $1M remains consistent. Properties with strong design, modern updates, or outdoor spaces that feel like a resort continue to attract attention. High-net-worth buyers often wait on the right home, not the right rate.
What this means if you’re buying
You finally have options. With hundreds of new listings, you’re not as limited.
Act fast when it counts. Pending contracts show the best homes still move quickly.
Stay prepared. Pre-approval and a clear strategy give you an edge.
What this means if you’re selling
Competition is back. 255 new listings in a week means buyers can compare.
Presentation matters. Staging, photography, and pricing decide who sells — and who ends up in the “cancelled” column.
Timing is everything. Coming Soon inventory means even more competition is right behind you.
My take
The Scottsdale market has shifted into what I call a strategic market. It’s not the frenzy we saw a couple years ago, but it’s far from slow. Both buyers and sellers succeed when they have a clear plan — not just a hope.
That’s where I come in. My role isn’t to push people into rushing. It’s to provide clarity, strategy, and execution so you’re never caught off guard. Whether you’re casually curious about your home’s value, considering selling, or ready to start a home search, I’d love to be a resource.
