Luxury Homes for Sale in Scottsdale, Arizona

Scottsdale sits in the heart of the Phoenix Valley, and it's known for its walkable Old Town, world-class golf, desert trails and a strong dining scene. My office is right here in Scottsdale, so this is home turf for me. Whether you're relocating from out of state or just moving across the Valley, I'll help you find the part of Scottsdale that fits how you want to live. These are the newest homes for sale in Scottsdale listed at $1,500,000 and above. There is no single definition of a luxury home, so I use this price point as a starting place for this area.

Buying at Higher Price Points

At higher price points, lot, views, privacy, finishes and amenities can vary widely, and terms and timing can matter as much as price. Having an experienced agent on your side helps you compare properties and structure an offer that protects your interests.

Before You Buy

Every luxury home is different, so plan on detailed inspections and a careful review of the HOA documents, if any, before you make an offer.

Every purchase is different, and I'm a strong negotiator who keeps negotiating until the keys are in my client's hands. On some homes you may also be able to take over the seller's existing FHA, VA or USDA loan; see my assumable mortgage guide.

Scottsdale luxury homes: questions people ask

What is Scottsdale's ESL ordinance, and how does it affect a home in north Scottsdale?
The Environmentally Sensitive Lands (ESL) overlay is a set of city zoning rules for about 134 square miles of desert and mountain land north and east of the Central Arizona Project canal. It requires part of each property to be permanently preserved as Natural Area Open Space (NAOS), and hillside land must preserve a larger share than lower desert land. It also protects washes, ridges, peaks and native vegetation, so plans for additions, pools or walls have to work around those preserved areas. Our Scottsdale relocation guide covers the different parts of the city.

Do I need a permit to move a saguaro or other native plant on a Scottsdale lot?
Yes, Scottsdale requires a native plant permit to remove, relocate or destroy any plant protected by its Native Plant Ordinance, which applies citywide. Protection generally covers listed native trees with a trunk caliper of 4 inches or more and listed cacti 3 feet tall or taller, such as saguaros. Single-family projects submit a native plant inventory and site plan with their building plans, and protected plants that have to move are generally salvaged and replanted on the site.

Can I add a guest house or casita to a Scottsdale home?
Yes, Scottsdale allows detached guest houses, but a guest house cannot be rented separately from the main home and must share its utilities. All guest houses on a lot together can be no more than half the floor area of the main residence, and guest houses built after January 1, 2025 need a recorded deed restriction before the permit is approved. A unit meant to be rented is an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) instead, which has its own size limits, separate meters and review, and requires the owner to live on the property when it is rented.

Do homes near Scottsdale Airport and the Airpark come with an airport noise disclosure?
Yes, the City of Scottsdale has recorded a map of the Scottsdale Airport Traffic Pattern Airspace under Arizona's public airport disclosure law, and that map and the airport's noise contours are the basis for disclosure. The city maps noise contours out to the 55 DNL level, beyond the federal minimum, and uses aviation easements for new development inside that contour. Some nearby communities also put airport disclosures in their CC&Rs or subdivision reports, so read those documents before closing.

Can a new Scottsdale home have a grass front yard?
No, under Ordinance 4606, new single-family homes built or permitted in Scottsdale after August 15, 2023 cannot have natural grass in the front yard. The City Council adopted it in 2023 as a water-saving landscape ordinance, and it applies to new construction.
