June 2015 home sales in DC Ranch and Silverleaf
All but 2 of the homes that sold went under contract in April and May, which is typically considered two of the most robust months of the year for home sales in North Scottsdale.
Having said that, the summer is a great time to list your home for sale as many sellers, under the impression that there are less buyers looking for homes in the summer, take their homes off the market, resulting in less competition. While there are typically less showings in the summer, sales are far from “slow”, and a larger percentage of the buyers who are looking in the summer are motivated compared to buyers who are looking for homes the rest of the year.
Home site sales
June was also a strong month for vacant homesite sales with a total of 8 Silverleaf lots closing escrow. The homesites ranged in price from $550,000 for a 0.59 acre lot in Arcadia to $1.4 million for a 2.79 acre lot in the Upper Canyon. Year to date, there have been 26 vacant home site sales in the community.
Six of the June lot sales took place in Arcadia, and 2 of the lot sales took place in the Upper Canyon.
