Scottsdale market update for those of you keeping an eye on things:

Median list price is now $1,285,000. Inventory is down to 1,125 homes, and median days on market has dropped to 77 days.

The Market Action Index is at 37, which still points to a slight seller’s advantage. Home sales have been exceeding new inventory for several weeks, although prices have continued to soften. If that sales trend continues, we could start to see prices stabilize and potentially climb from there.

Fall hasn’t started yet. The buyers who do their homework now tend to be the most prepared when it does 👀

I've lived here since 1977, and August still gets a bad reputation it doesn't deserve.

The trails before 8 am are empty. The Four Seasons and The Phoenician do day passes in summer at rates that would surprise you. Silverleaf Club is at its best when half the members are out of town. And the restaurants are better when the seasonal crowd is gone.

Most people are trying to escape Scottsdale in August. The ones who stay figured something out.

The final walkthrough is not a formality. I've seen buyers skip through it in 10 minutes and spend the first week of ownership fixing things that should have been caught.

Here's what I make my buyers check before we close. 👇

Water. Run every faucet. Flush every toilet. Check under every sink. New water stains on ceilings since the inspection mean something broke in the last 30 days.

Electrical. Flip every switch. Test every outlet. Check the breaker panel. Make sure smoke and CO detectors actually work.

AC and Heat. Run both. Put your hand over the vents in the farthest rooms. No airflow means something is wrong.

Structural. Look at the floors where furniture was sitting. Sagging or soft spots were hidden on purpose.

Inclusions. Fridge, washer, dryer, mounted TVs, garage shelving, window treatments. If it was on the contract, it better still be there.

Documentation. Every key, every garage remote, the alarm code, appliance manuals. Get it confirmed in writing that day.

If something is wrong, do not close. The walkthrough is the only leverage you have left. Use it.

Save this for the day before closing. 🏡

Taj Mahal quartzite. If you've been through enough North Scottsdale luxury homes in the last few years, you've seen it everywhere.

Warm ivory tones, subtle veining, and it handles a working kitchen better than most natural stones. This one paired with a navy island, brass sconces, and glass-front cabinetry is a combination that photographs well and feels even better in person.

Buyers ask about the stone by name. I've been in enough showings to know that the kitchen finishes either justify the price or they don't. This one justifies it.

Most people think the hard part is over once an offer is accepted. 30 to 45 days of inspections, repair negotiations, title searches, HOA approvals, and membership transfers says otherwise.

In communities like Silverleaf, DC Ranch, and Windgate Ranch, a closing has moving parts that most agents have never dealt with. Membership paperwork, initiation fees, transfer approvals. Miss one deadline and it costs a client time or money.

I handle all of it personally. Swipe through to see what the process actually looks like.

Jay and I snuck away to St. Louis last week to surprise my Aunt Jane for her 90th birthday. She had no idea we were coming.

Her husband, my Uncle, turns 93 this year. Still drives. Still goes to work. Still goes hunting. Still on Facebook. They just celebrated 70 years of marriage three years ago.

93 years old and living fully. I hope I have half that energy. 🤍
