About Scottsdale's Kierland

This is the fourth post in a series of some of the things I love to eat in and around Scottsdale. I originally had planned on a single post, but I am now up to four. That is just a testament to the delicious and creative cuisine that can be found in Scottsdale and Phoenix!

Kierland is an amazing area, located in the "magical" 85254 Zip Code of Scottsdale, AZ. Because 85254 is home to what many consider to be the best school districts in Arizona (Scottsdale Unified School District & Paradise Valley Unified School District), and offers some of the best dining/shopping opportunities at the nearby Kierland Commons, this area has become extremely popular for people looking for their next home. Add to that it's proximity to the Loop 101 and 51 freeways, and you get the perfect combination when looking for your next home. The 85254 Zip Code is commonly referred to as Kierland, and for the purposes of this report, I have included all real estate activity that has occurred in the past month within 85254.

Here are January 2012's sales numbers for the Phoenix and Scottsdale luxury condo market. For this report, I am defining luxury condos as those on the market with asking prices in excess of $1 million.

Pending Luxury Condo Sales -At the conclusion of the month, there were two luxury condos under contract and both of them were at the Kierland Plaza Lofts. The first unit was a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom condo on the 8th floor with 2,090 square feet. The asking price was $1,375,000. The second pending sale was a condo on the 9th floor. It had 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and 3,483 square feet. The list price was $2,225,000.

January 2012 Luxury Condo Sales – January saw two luxury condo sales and one of them had the second highest sales price we have seen in the last year. The first sale was at the Kierland Plaza Lofts. This fourth floor unit had 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 2,802 square feet. It sold for $1,500,000 and had been listed at $1,699,000. The second sale was at the Landmark Condos in the Kierland area of Scottsdale. This spacious unit had 4,065 square feet and 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The list price was $2,541,000 and the final sales price was $2,150,000.

January 2012 started off the year with a solid performance for Scottsdale and Phoenix Luxury Condo sales. All of the activity in January took place in Scottsdale and has interestingly enough shifted north to the Kierland area, versus the Downtown Scottsdale and Scottsdale Waterfront areas. The increased popularity of the Kierland area could be due to the success of the Scottsdale Quarter complex as well as the continued success of Kierland Commons. Hopefully next month we will see some activity in the Phoenix luxury condo market.
