Recent supply gives room to compare, but only if you stay organized.
If you are wondering whether patience is helping or hurting your home search, my answer is that patience works when it is structured. In Scottsdale, AZ, the current level of selection supports careful comparison, but drifting without a plan still creates mistakes.
Recent supply in Scottsdale, AZ stood at 5.76 months, with 3,049 active listings and 951 new listings added over the previous 30 days. A typical home that reached pending status did so in 38 days. That mix supports choice, but not endless delay. I would use this market to compare value more carefully, not to postpone decisions without reason. Buyers who define price limits, condition standards, and location priorities can benefit from the extra selection. Buyers who keep everything open usually waste the advantage. Set your top price before you schedule tours. Rank homes by fit instead of collecting endless options. When a listing matches your criteria and sits near recent accepted pricing, be ready to act without starting the search over again.
