The number of new Scottsdale listings increased for the fifth straight month after decreasing for the eight months prior, going from 328 in December of 2021 to 756 in May (more than doubling).

This is the first time new listings are greater than the same month in the previous year since July of 2021.
The number of active Scottsdale listings has increased for the second consecutive month going from 704 in March to 951 in May. Active Scottsdale listings are still down -3.5% from May of last year. Home inventory of Scottsdale homes has increased in three out of the last four months as it looks like there may be a shift happening in the housing market.
The lack of listings continues to drive demand and continues to drive an upward trend in Scottsdale home prices, although things may be slowing down. Home sales in Scottsdale are still occurring faster than ever, while home inventory is starting to increase.
Median home values in Scottsdale have increased an average of 16.9% since May of 2021, which is still good, but below the 20-30% increase we have been seeing over the last year or two. Even with interest rates increasing to above 5.25%, there still should be more buyers looking to purchase a Scottsdale home as we head into summer of 2022.
