The Scottsdale Real Estate Market

Scottsdale consistently ranks among the most competitive real estate markets in Arizona and the Southwest. Strong demand from California transplants, retirees, snowbirds, and local buyers keeps inventory tight and prices elevated.

Median home prices in Scottsdale have risen steadily and vary significantly by neighborhood — from the $400,000s in South Scottsdale to $2M+ in North Scottsdale communities like DC Ranch, Silverleaf, Troon North, and Desert Mountain.

In this market, the quality of your mortgage pre-approval matters. Listing agents and sellers know which lenders close on time and which don’t — and a pre-approval from Mark Merry at Granite Bank carries real credibility.
