Scottsdale AZ Real Estate Housing Market Report - February 2022
After a decrease in the average sales price of Scottsdale homes last month to $1,282,796, Scottsdale's average sales price reached a new all-time high of $1,386,205 in February. This is a nice increase after January started off the new year with a drop in the average sales price. It is also a good sign for the new year considering that the average sales price of Scottsdale homes had decreased in 6 out of the last 8 months prior to February.
At the same time, the average sold price per square foot for Scottsdale homes increased from $422/sf in January to $447/sf in February. The average sold price per square foot in Scottsdale has increased or remained the same in 19 out of the last 20 months.
The days on market also decreased for the second straight month, going from 43 DOM in January to 39 DOM in February, after increasing the previous two months. The Scottsdale DOM was as high as 76 in January of 2021, so being at 39 DOM now is extremely low, especially for homes in this price point. The low DOM shows that homes in Scottsdale are still very much in demand, and they are selling very quickly.
