How I help Scottsdale Mountain buyers

I’m Valerie Moe, with Keller Williams Realty Sonoran Living. We start with home type and how much hillside you want, then compare any home you like against recent sales of the same type inside the gates. See knowing your market.

Scottsdale Mountain details

Based on my recent market review, homes run from about $1 million to $5 million, and that shifts over time. The community is close to Mayo Clinic’s Scottsdale campus and to trail access in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. Schools: Scottsdale Unified, with Mountainside Middle and Desert Mountain High nearby; confirm by address.

Hillside homes

Homes on a slope bring views and also questions: driveways, retaining walls and drainage. We look at those during inspection so the view doesn’t hide a cost.
