Distinction Reignited:
The state of premier real estate in the Valley
What a difference a year makes. After a relatively quiet 2023, the Valley’s luxury real estate market roared back to life in 2024, proving once again that high-end homes remain a solid investment. Last year brought an influx of ultra-luxury buyers, competitive price growth, and a heightened demand for properties offering lifestyle-centric amenities.
The $10M-plus market, often a bellwether for the overall health of luxury real estate, saw a 15 percent jump in closings. This is a clear sign that discerning buyers are doubling down on Arizona’s premier properties. Inventory in the high-end segment expanded, yet demand kept pace. This reflects the Valley’s enduring appeal as a destination for those seeking both exclusivity and value.
While price per square foot crept upward, savvy buyers recognized the opportunity to secure properties that blend architectural excellence with modern luxury. From ultra-modern new builds to classic estates, today’s luxury homebuyers are prioritizing more than just square footage. They are investing in lifestyle. Private wellness spaces, resort-style outdoor living, and seamless indooroutdoor flow have become must-haves. The continued popularity of Arizona’s warm climate and world-class amenities has solidified this trend.
2024 also saw a historic milestone with the highest residential sale in Arizona’s history. A newly built Paradise Valley estate closed at an astonishing $32.39 million, setting a new benchmark for luxury real estate in the state.
With luxury sales volume reaching $7.4 billion and increasing 14 percent over last year, it is clear that high-end real estate in the Valley remains a dynamic and evolving landscape. Whether buying or selling, one thing is certain. In 2024, luxury in Arizona was not just about owning a home. It was about making a statement.

This appreciation evolved into expertise as he immersed himself in viticulture and enology, cultivating his palate through dedicated study and refined tastings. When presented with the opportunity to acquire this esteemed establishment from a respected mentor, the decision reflected the natural grace of a perfectly matured vintage.
As curator of this distinguished wine destination, Parrott orchestrates the selection of each bottle with exceptional precision, collaborating with thirteen distinguished distributors and conducting tastings three days weekly. His personal evaluation of 98% of the collection ensures an unparalleled standard of excellence. While his expertise gravitates toward Bordeaux varietals, the complexity of Nebbiolo commands special appreciation.

The Art of Inner Alignment

Gianna Fitzgerald’s Wellness Philosophy
Bridging Luxury, Balance, and Intentional Living-
-In today’s wellness landscape, where self-care is often commercialized, Gianna Fitzgerald offers a refreshingly holistic and grounded approach. As the founder of Inner G Alignment and a certified Holistic Health Coach, she emphasizes that wellness is more than just movement or diet; it is about integrating mindfulness, energy, and intentional living.
A Journey from Struggle to Strength
For Gianna, wellness was not an optional pursuit but a necessity. After years of battling chronic health conditions, including anxiety, autoimmune disorders, and fatigue, she realized that true healing required more than just physical health.
Her perspective shifted during an immersive yoga teacher training in Costa Rica. This experience deepened her understanding of the connection between the mind, body, and soul, ultimately shaping her wellness brand, Inner G Alignment. Through this work, she now helps others cultivate balance and alignment in their own lives.
Redefining Luxury Through Wellness
In luxury real estate, opulence is often associated with high-end properties, designer finishes, and lavish amenities. For Gianna, however, luxury is best measured by a person’s health, energy, and overall well-being. “Our bodies are our greatest assets,” she explains. “Just as a luxury car requires premium fuel and meticulous maintenance, our bodies need movement, nourishment, and intentional care. When we prioritize wellness, we elevate every aspect of our lives.”
This philosophy is reflected in Arizona’s wellness culture. The Valley offers endless opportunities to embrace an active lifestyle, from morning hikes in the desert to rejuvenating spa treatments. Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, in particular, have become havens for those seeking a balance between high performance and mindful living.
Avoiding Burnout: A Wellness Strategy for High Achievers
Many of The Noble Agency’s clients lead demanding careers as executives, business owners, and industry leaders. While they strive for success, they often neglect their well-being. Gianna believes small, intentional pauses throughout the day can make all the difference. “Spending five to ten minutes alone without external distractions can be life-changing,” she says. “Whether it’s a mindful walk, deep breathing, or simply sitting quietly with a cup of coffee, these moments help regulate the nervous system and prevent burnout.”
For those seeking a practical technique, she recommends the 4-78 breathwork method. This simple practice—inhale for four seconds, hold for seven, and exhale for eight— can calm anxiety, reduce stress, and improve sleep. Gianna often relies on this technique to stay centered, even on the busiest days.
"Our bodies
are our greatest
is not about restriction or rigid schedules,” she explains. “Enjoy the margarita, savor the pasta, and be fully present. Small habits keep us feeling good, no matter where we are.”
Looking Ahead: The Future of Wellness
As the wellness industry evolves, Gianna is particularly excited about the growing focus on somatic healing and nervous system regulation. Often overlooked in traditional health practices, these areas are now recognized as essential to overall well-being. “True wellness is not about quick fixes or the latest supplements. It starts with foundational habits like eating whole foods, daily movement, connecting with nature, and practicing mindfulness. Sometimes, the best medicine is free.”
Through Inner G Alignment, Gianna continues to guide individuals toward a more intentional and balanced way of living. Her one-on-one coaching, exclusive retreats, and holistic healing
assets. Just as
a luxury car requires premium fuel and meticulous maintenance, our bodies need movement, nourishment, and intentional care.
Creating a Wellness Sanctuary at Home
Beyond personal habits, Gianna encourages people to transform their living spaces into environments that promote well-being. Small adjustments, such as setting up a meditation corner, using aromatherapy, or incorporating soft lighting, can make a significant impact.
A home designed with wellness in mind fosters relaxation and presence. Sound therapy, comfortable seating, and natural elements create an atmosphere where both body and mind can recharge. For those who travel frequently, Gianna recommends maintaining simple routines such as daily movement, proper hydration, and moments of mindfulness.“Wellness
programs help clients uncover the root causes of imbalance and restore their well-being.
Ultimately, wellness is not just something we do; it is a way of life. For Gianna, true luxury is not found in material possessions but in the ability to live with energy, presence, and alignment. For those ready to begin their own journey, learn more below.

An inside view into the Valley's approachable luxury real estate market.
APPROACHABLE LUXURY
MARKET RECAP
The approachable luxury market in the Valley, encompassing homes priced from $750,000 to $1,499,999, continued to demonstrate its stability in 2024, offering both value and opportunity. While total sales volume saw a modest contraction, pricing remained largely resilient, with incremental increases in several key markets. Scottsdale continues to lead in sales activity, with over 1,000 transactions in the $1M–$1.5M range, while emerging hotspots such as Surprise and Tempe posted some of the highest price-per-square-foot gains, signaling areas of growing demand.
Chandler and Gilbert saw steady appreciation, reinforcing the East Valley's reputation as a hub for modern, familyfriendly living. Meanwhile, North and South Phoenix
remained attractive for buyers seeking proximity to urban amenities without sacrificing space and quality. The West Valley, including Peoria and Glendale, displayed pockets of growth, particularly in the upper tiers of this segment.
Looking ahead, 2025 is poised for measured price increases as demand remains strong, especially in soughtafter communities with a blend of lifestyle appeal and long-term investment potential. With a balanced pace of sales and buyers enjoying slightly longer market times, this remains an excellent window for those looking to secure a foothold in the Valley’s luxury real estate landscape. As the market evolves, expect continued strength in well-located, amenity-rich neighborhoods that offer the perfect blend of affordability and prestige.

Scottsdale's Blue Zone Vision
Wellness as the Ultimate Luxury
In the distinguished landscape of premier destinations, Scottsdale is orchestrating a transformation that promises to redefine luxury living. The city's pursuit of Blue Zone certification, announced in March 2023 through a strategic partnership between HonorHealth, Cigna Healthcare, and Goodwill, represents a sophisticated reimagining of how thoughtful environmental design, meaningful community connectivity, and seamless lifestyle integration can enhance both longevity and quality of life.
The Blue Zone Philosophy: Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Luxury The Blue Zones concept identifies five global regions where centenarians flourish at unprecedented rates. These longevity hotspots share nine common elements, the "Power 9", including natural movement, plant-forward cuisine, and strong social connections.
What's particularly compelling is its emphasis on environmental design rather than mere willpower. As Buettner discovered, "We spend 90% of our lives within a 'Life Radius' close to home." By thoughtfully curating these environments, wellness becomes the path of least resistance.
Transforming Scottsdale's Landscape with Intention: The initiative will gracefully reshape Scottsdale's built environment to subtly encourage well-being. Anticipate artfully expanded walking paths, enhanced cycling
"Blue
Zone-aligned properties aren't merely offering a residence; they're providing a curated lifestyle."
The ultimate luxury is an environment engineered to support health, connection, and purpose.
LIVE WELL. LIVE LONG.
"By thoughtfully curating these environments, wellness becomes the path of least resistance."
infrastructure, and reimagined public spaces fostering meaningful connection. Restaurants will feature "Blue Zones-inspired" culinary options, while forward-thinking employers will create workspaces that reduce sedentary behavior.
Todd LaPorte, CEO of HonorHealth, points to a pressing need: "Loneliness and isolation have been growing within our community, and one out of two Scottsdale residents currently report they are struggling with their health."
The Real Estate Renaissance: An Opportunity for Discernment
For clients considering property investment, Scottsdale's Blue Zone journey presents compelling opportunities. Early data from other Blue Zone communities suggests properties aligned with these principles command significant appreciation, with some markets reporting 10-15% higher valuations.
New properties increasingly feature architectural elements that seamlessly integrate wellness: thoughtfully designed spaces for social gathering, private walking paths connected to community amenities, and indoor-outdoor living spaces that maximize Arizona's natural advantages.
The Exclusivity of Inclusive Wellness
What makes Scottsdale's Blue Zone vision noteworthy is how it redefines luxury living. While exquisite materials and architectural
distinction remain valuable, the most soughtafter properties increasingly offer something more profound: environments thoughtfully engineered for well-being and connection. This "wellness premium" represents the evolution of luxury from mere consumption to the cultivation of a life well lived. The most discerning buyers now seek not just exquisite design but thoughtful integration with healthy living principles.
The
Scottsdale Approach
The Blue Zones approach requires thoughtful consideration. Can Scottsdale authentically recreate the centuries old social bonds of a Sardinian community? The answer lies in thoughtful interpretation rather than direct transplantation.
What's promising is how Scottsdale seems uniquely positioned to blend Blue Zone principles with its existing strengths, abundant natural beauty, year-round outdoor living potential, and a population already attuned to wellness considerations.
"Blue Zones Project Scottsdale is a community-wide initiative that drives healthier alternatives using lessons learned from the people of the original blue zones. "
Sarah Kearney Blue Zones Project, Scottsdale
The Investment Perspective: Strategic Considerations
For those with an eye toward property investment, Scottsdale's Blue Zone initiative offers sophisticated considerations. Properties positioned to benefit from wellness infrastructure improvements may see
accelerated appreciation. Areas designated for enhanced walkability, community spaces, or proximity to health-focused amenities warrant particular attention in investment strategy.
Moreover, properties designed with Blue Zone principles, those facilitating natural movement, meaningful social connection, and refined stress reduction, may attract discerning buyers seeking to integrate wellness into their lifestyle rather than treating it as a separate activity. This integration represents luxury's next frontier: environments that effortlessly support optimal living.
Looking Forward
As Scottsdale's Blue Zone journey unfolds, it represents more than a certification program, it's a vision for how thoughtful environmental design can enhance both longevity and quality of life. For residents and investors alike, this initiative offers a compelling proposition: that the ultimate luxury is an environment engineered to support health, connection, and purpose.
The question isn't whether wellness adds value, that's increasingly evident, but rather how Scottsdale's particular interpretation of Blue Zone principles will evolve to create something uniquely valuable. What seems certain is that the integration of wellness considerations into community and property design is not merely a trend but an evolution in how we define premium living environments.
