Scottsdale Real Estate and Rental Market Update

June 2026

Scottsdale’s real estate market remained one of the strongest in the Phoenix Metro area during June. Home values continued to appreciate despite elevated mortgage rates, while inventory tightened across both the sales and rental markets. Although homes are taking slightly longer to sell and lease than they did a year ago, demand remains strong for well-priced properties in one of Arizona’s most desirable communities.

Sales Market Highlights

  • Active Listings: 2,110 (11.0% decrease YoY)
  • Median Sold Price: $438.36 per SF (3.9% increase YoY)
  • Average Days on Market: 68 days (6.3% increase YoY)
  • 30-Year Mortgage Rate: 6.49%

Scottsdale’s housing inventory declined significantly compared to last year, giving buyers fewer choices while supporting continued price appreciation. The median sold price per square foot climbed nearly 4%, demonstrating the city’s resilience and ongoing demand for luxury and move-up homes. While homes are taking slightly longer to sell than they did in June 2025, the market remains healthy and competitive.

Rental Market Highlights

  • Median Rent: $1.83 per SF (2.2% increase YoY)
  • Median Days on Market: 40 days (13.8% increase YoY)

Scottsdale’s rental market continues to favor property owners. Rental inventory fell nearly 19% compared to last year while rents increased, reflecting continued demand for high-quality rental homes. Leasing times have lengthened modestly, but rental properties continue to attract strong interest, particularly in desirable neighborhoods and luxury communities.

As the second half of 2026 unfolds, Scottsdale remains well positioned for long-term appreciation and continued investment opportunities.
