Scottsdale’s housing market is showing healthy gains this year with the median price of $377,750 up 6.1percent over 2011.
Some areas are seeing double-digit price increases led by the 85250 ZIP code between Chaparral and Indian Bend roads, where the median price of $254,000 is up nearly 24percent. That is based on 2012 prices through September compared with last year.
“We seem to have found our footing a little bit,” said D.Patrick Lewis, Scottsdale Area Association of Realtors chairman-elect for 2013.
Median prices are also up this year 9percent in Cave Creek to $335,000, 2percent in Paradise Valley to $1.08million and 0.3percent in Fountain Hills to $319,000.
