The best marketing in the Valley at the present time are Phoenix and the West Valley, now at 3 ¾ months each. Close behind is the SE Valley at 4 ¼ months. These are definitely sellers markets!

A 50% increase in the number of pending sales over the last 6 weeks is a positive sign for Scottsdale. Under $ 1M market rose from 351 to 527, and we should begin to see an increase in closings soon.
