Market Update

Is Scottsdale, AZ in May 2026 moving too slowly?

Published on
When a market takes longer to move, the real question is whether that pace changes your strategy. In Scottsdale, AZ, the typical sale took 44 days last month, and that is slow enough for me to slow down and plan carefully.

I look at pace first, then decide what it means for the move.

Last month, a typical sale in Scottsdale, AZ took 44 days. I would not call that a rush market, and I would not make decisions as if the first offer or first listing was the only shot. That gives both sides room to be more thoughtful. Sellers need to keep their price grounded, and buyers need to use the extra time to compare instead of reacting too fast. Stay patient. Use the extra time to compare. Make the next move on purpose.
