With all of the news concentrating on fallen real estate prices in the Valley, it may be surprising to hear that North Scottsdale's real estate market has been able to maintain its strong prices and buyer interest...
Location, as ever, is the reason. North Scottsdale offers a combination that is difficult to replicate: the mountain-and-desert setting, the proximity to the Valley's best golf and dining, and communities built to a standard that holds its appeal through any market.
For buyers, the takeaway is a familiar one dressed in new circumstances - the finest addresses tend to be the most resilient. What looks like a premium in a strong market often reveals itself as prudence in an uncertain one.
