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 that the MLS listing data marks as new construction. That can include homes that are move-in ready, homes under construction and homes to be built, and availability changes quickly.
The sales agent you meet at a new-home community works for the builder, and their job is to represent the builder's interests, including its prices, contract and timeline. That is a very different role from a Realtor who represents you as the buyer.
Many builders will pay a commission to a buyer's agent under their own published policy, but the rules differ by builder, and many require your agent to be registered on your first visit, before you sign anything. If you have already visited a community without an agent, ask the builder about its policy before you go further, and don't sign anything until you have talked to me.
As your advocate, I can help you compare builders and communities, review the contract and any addenda, ask the right questions about incentives, upgrades, lot premiums, HOA dues and closing timelines, and negotiate on your behalf. I'm a strong negotiator, and I keep negotiating until the keys are in my client's hands.
Builders commonly advertise incentives such as interest rate offers, closing cost help, design credits or price adjustments on certain homes. These offers change often, usually have conditions, and may require using the builder's preferred lender, so ask for the details in writing and compare them with the price and terms you could get elsewhere. Call me at 602-483-4665 and I will help you compare what is currently offered.
Are new homes being built in north Scottsdale?
Yes, new homes are still being built in north Scottsdale. For example, Toll Brothers opened new models at its Sereno Canyon community in April 2026, set against the McDowell Mountains. Builder lineups and remaining homesites change often, so ask me for a current list before you tour, or see my Scottsdale luxury homes page.
How long do I have to file a complaint with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors on a new home?
For new construction, a complaint against a licensed contractor must be filed within two years from the close of escrow or actual occupancy, whichever came first. Write down problems as soon as you notice them so you are not up against that deadline. My Arizona new construction guide covers more of the process.
Does the builder get a chance to fix construction defects before I can sue?
Yes, under Arizona's purchaser dwelling action law (A.R.S. 12-1363) you must first send the seller written notice of the defects by certified mail. The seller then has 60 days to respond in writing and may offer to repair or replace the problem. Arizona also limits most contract-based construction claims to eight years after substantial completion (A.R.S. 12-552), with a narrow extension in some cases.
Should I get my own inspection on a brand-new home?
Yes, an independent inspection is still a smart move on new construction. The Arizona REALTORS Buyer Advisory stresses the importance of a professional inspection, and local inspectors report that new builds commonly have fixable items with roofs, cabinets, showers, tubs and windows. Have issues documented before closing, and read why your own agent matters on a new build.
Do new homes in Scottsdale have to meet an energy code?
Yes, Scottsdale adopted the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code as a mandatory code for new residential and commercial buildings, effective January 2023. The city lists requirements for new homes such as improved ceiling insulation, high-efficacy lighting and lighting controls, and solar-ready roofs.
