The Boulders Carefree and Scottsdale – 2016 Real Estate Activity

- The Boulders - About the Community -

The Boulders is a well-known community with an elegant resort and spa on-site. The large boulder outcroppings throughout the community are stunning and make for a very unique landscape. There are two golf courses on property designed by Jay Morrish as well as a tennis complex.

There is a good variety of real estate choices in The Boulders. At one end are the smaller casitas that many people use as second homes or rent out privately or via the rental pool. On the other end are lovely custom-built homes on and around the golf courses.

Here is an overview of The Boulders' home sales activity in 2016. Plus, I have included a snapshot of 2015's homes sales performance at the end for comparison's sake.
