Scottsdale, AZ housing market saw an increase in the number of pending sales and sales in the month of May from the previous month. This increase is can probably be attributed to the home buyer tax credit that required an executed contract by the end of April. The months supply of inventory decreased which is a good sign the market could be balancing out. Unfortunately for sellers, price has been declining but this presents a great opportunity to make up the loss on the purchase of a new home.

Paradise Valley, AZ is always a tough market to gauge based solely on average price breakdowns because of the price of homes in that market. When you are dealing with homes that have an average sale price is $1.5million, one extremely high priced home sale for the month can really skew the numbers. From the data it appears buyers are taking advantage of the lower prices per square foot and buying larger sized homes, meaning this is a great opportunity for "move-up buyers."
