Scottsdale's attractiveness as a great place to live, a vacation destination, lack of land and good city management has helped keep demand up.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="item/169799" title="South Scottsdale, AZ"&gt;South Scottsdale&lt;/a&gt; took the biggest hit with a 20% decline.&amp;nbsp; I'm sure the area surrounding downtown Scottsdale and the Scottsdale/Thomas intersections did better, but the numbers were pulled down by other parts in South Scottsdale that have less demand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img width="401" hspace="0" height="289" border="0" align="bottom" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2348/2184052085_6b416a00b1.jpg?v=0" alt="scottsdale real estate" style="width: 401px; height: 289px;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In 2007, a total of 4,120 single family homes sold&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This is 20% less then the 5,150 that sold in 2006.&amp;nbsp; The median home price for the year is $579,000 and is not a big decline from $595,000 in 2006.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A total of 2,595 condos and townhomes sold in Scottsdale in 2007&lt;/strong&gt;, compared to 2,900 in 2006.&amp;nbsp; The median price for the year decreased from $264,005 to $254,835.&amp;nbsp; Not a big decline either.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Please not how many condos/townhomes sold compared to single family homes.&amp;nbsp; Scottsdale is a big market for this type of real estate because it's attractive as a second home market, which drives demand for condos and town homes in Scottsdale.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="item/194145"&gt;Find a condo/town-home in Scottsdale.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left" /&gt;</Description>
