Is Scottsdale Real Estate Worth the Money?
Scottsdale Luxury Homes vs. Tucson Luxury Real Estate
Many people dream of owning a prestigious piece of Scottsdale real estate. However, you may be wasting your money by purchasing a Scottsdale luxury home.
Scottsdale is an overpopulated and inflated market, meaning that you’ll often pay much more money than a home is actually worth just because it’s in a Scottsdale zip code. Comparatively, if you purchase a luxury home or estate lot in a beautiful gated community that is not in the Scottsdale area, you’ll usually get a larger home with better amenities for less money.
Take a look at this comparison of Whisper Rock Estates in Scottsdale and The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain in Marana, Arizona.
