Arizona for dummy's

Taking a page from Jack Canfield there. Here is some great info for you if you are wondering where in Arizona seems like a good fit for you.


It seems like there are a few different demographics/price points in terms of what people are looking for here in Arizona:
1. Scottsdale condos  for 120K-150K OR between 200K-300K(everyone seems to know that Scottsdale is the upscale resort town to be in)
2. 4 bedroom 3 bath homes that can be shared with a big family for 130K-160K (I usually find something for people in NE Phoenix, Surprise)
3. North Scottsdale home for 400K-600K in a community like Bellasera, Legend Trail, Terravita, Grayhawk, DC Ranch, etc
4. Luxury part time residence ($1 milion to 2 million) Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, or Carefree
Naturally these price estimates are generalizations….
When it comes to Scottsdale condos, people don’t realize how geographically large Scottsdale is. It was developed from downtown Scottsdale all the way north up to Carefree. Scottsdale gets newer, nicer, and more expensive as you go North.
Here are some condo deals in Scottsdale that I found.
I broke it down into 3 areas: Downtown Scottsdale, Scottsdale, and North Scottsdale 
These are all at least 2 bedroom, 1.75 bath or more. They are all in communities that have a heated community pool.
 Note that they are listed in ascending price per square foot.
