Our own recorded sales for Scottsdale and the surrounding area, most recent
2026-08-19. Price per acre falls as parcels get bigger, so the sizes are
kept separate — a blended number would be misleading. Blank means we do not have
enough sales to say honestly.

Land moves in Scottsdale. Our records show 557 parcels sold in and around Scottsdale, in Maricopa County, over the last two years, the most recent on 2026-08-19. A typical sale was 1.2 acres at about $770,000.
The mix matters as much as the price. Large acreage is rare here — only 0% of sales were 40 acres or more, and 1% fell between 10 and 40 acres. If your parcel is bigger than what usually trades here, expect a thinner buyer pool and a longer wait on the open market.
Price per acre falls as parcels get bigger, so there is no single Scottsdale number. In our records, parcels between 2 and 10 acres sold for $164,000 to $541,000 an acre across 181 sales. That is the middle half of sales in each size — a quarter went for less, a quarter for more, depending on access, terrain and whether the parcel has power nearby.
Prices have risen. The median went from $509,000 an acre in 2025 to $560,000 in 2026, a 10% up move. We price off today's sales, not last year's.
Time is the part sellers underestimate. Parcels between 2 and 10 acres around Scottsdale took a median of 169 days to sell once listed, and that clock starts only after the listing goes up — it does not count escrow, or the months most owners spend deciding. A cash sale skips all of it.
