Housing
Throughout the many communities of Scottsdale, housing options have a wide range in location, price and size. While home values have remained high, the average cost in housing ranges from $60,000 to over $6 million, with $228,000 being the median household price. Condominiums, both standard and luxury, townhouses and patio homes are in abundance in Scottsdale. There is also a large variety of horse properties, planned communities, family neighborhoods, gated housing areas and a downtown with apartment and lease options.
Those looking to purchase from out-of-state are often surprised by the market available in Scottsdale. Despite the local booming economy, higher average wage and beautiful surroundings, those from places like Colorado, New York and California will find the housing to be somewhat of a bargain compared to prices in their hometowns. The market is excellent with interest rates still low, looser lending guidelines and home prices that have remained comparatively low. The constant population growth has kept the demand for housing strong.
