The  Scottsdale real estate market saw a little leveling off in October although prices have started to climb a bit.  At about a 4 month burn rate (the number of months it would take to sell the exisiting inventory at the current sales pace) we are in what is typically observed as a balanced market in Scottsdale.  If you're looking to pick up a good deal on a home or condo in Scottsdale, now's the time.

Here are August's numbers for the week ending 10/31/09:

Active Listings: 4,492 (Up 3% from Sept. '09)

Homes Pending: 1,275 (Down 2% from Sept. '09)

Homes sold in last 30 days:  561 (Up 5% from Sept. '09, Up 59% from Oct. '08)

Burn rate (Inventory on market/by homes sold last 30 days) = 4 months supply

Avg. Sale price (Solds): $414,479 (Up 2% from Sept. '09, Down 18% from Oct. '08)

Avg. price per sq. ft. (Solds): $161.90 (Up $2 per Sq. Ft. from Sept. '09,  Down 20% from Oct. '08)

Glad to hear Scottsdale is back on the rise. And what about foreclosures in Scottsdale - are these going to still be good deals now that the market is increasing? I got an email about a new Arizona foreclosure site, www.foreclosuregrove.com, and I was wondering if foreclosures are still worth looking into? And does the renewed tax credit apply to foreclosures bought at auction? Thanks!
