Phoenix Scottsdale Luxury Condo Sales May 2012

It was another great month for luxury condo sales in Scottsdale, Arizona. Kierland Plaza Lofts continue to perform very well as they have been over the last several months. The single pending sale at the end of the month is promising because of the price point, but it does not bode well for sales in June 2012. And unfortunately, the luxury condo market in Phoenix is not performing well. For the second month in a row, we did not see any activity.

Hi Sharon - Thanks for stopping by. The Scottsdale market has been doing really well - in particular the Kierland area. I would love to see some movement on the Phoenix luxury condo side though.
