Million-dollar sales climb, but there are deals at top of range A 15,000square-foot mansion with a 3,000bottle wine cellar and 150,000gallon lazy river in the heart of Paradise Valley can be yours for a cool $18 million. CHRIS KARAS/ LAUNCH REAL ESTATE
aseball hall of famers George Brett and Ryne Sandberg, PGA golfer Pat Perez, NFL defensive end Jared Allen, as well as hundreds of company executives, lawyers and doctors have bought and sold million-dollar homes in metro Phoenix’s poshest neighborhoods this year. The Valley’s luxury housing market is picking up a bit after too many highpriced listings hit the market and overshot demand from deep-pocketed buyers. Seven-figure home sales in the Phoenix area were up about 10 percent in March from the previous year. “Overall, the first quarter of 2017 was a much busier quarter for million-dollar homes than in 2016,” Phoenix housing expert Mike Orr told me. Almost 300 Valley homes sold for more than $1 million in March, according to the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service. While most of those houses were in Paradise Valley, Scottsdale and Phoenix’s uptown, Biltmore and Arcadia neighborhoods, million-dollar home sales are also on the rise in some southeast and West Valley communities.
