Few homes sell, and almost no two lots match. Redfin put the median sale price at $4,296,157 for August 2026, with homes taking a median 104 days to sell. The nearest true comp may have closed months ago on the far side of Mummy Mountain.
Zoning sets one acre minimum lots under R-43 (Hoodline, October 2026), yet Colonia Miramonte lots average about a quarter acre. About 1,000 parcels are designated hillside (Paradise Valley Independent, 2025). A Camelback view lot and a flat acre a street over are separate markets.
Every name below is a recorded plat with parcels inside town limits on the Maricopa County Assessor's parcel layer; lot sizes and years are assessor averages and ranges.
Units 1 to 11 climb the east and north sides of Mummy Mountain. Lots in the original plat average about two acres on assessor records; later units sit closer to one. Houses there date as new as 2026. Slope lots get compared with slope lots, since hillside rules limit what a buyer can build.
Stone Canyon's 43 parcels sit on the north slope of Camelback Mountain and average about 1.7 acres; Stone Canyon East adds 20 more nearer an acre, with its oldest recorded house from 1959. The Camelback view shifts from one lot to the next, so view and slope are matched before square footage.
Six units on the east side, north of Lincoln Drive toward Scottsdale Road, on acre lots with houses dating from 1973. Ironwood at Camelback Country Club and Ironwood Golf Villas sit alongside. A golf word in a plat name proves nothing, so Tyler checks the lot's real edge on the plat first.
Guard gated hillside homes on the east slope of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve, entered at the Tatum gatehouse. One broker's community page puts 203 of its 217 lots in a county island, so only a handful are town lots. The report states which jurisdiction the lot is in, and comps follow that line.
Houses on lots near a quarter acre beside the Mountain Shadows resort on Lincoln Drive, below Camelback's north face; the newest dates to 2023. The Villas at Mountain Shadows next door are condominiums recorded 2017 to 2019. Resort dues and amenity rights are read before any outside sale is used.
Judson's 38 parcels lie east of Mummy Mountain and average close to 1.5 acres on assessor records, roomy even by town standards. The newest house on the roll dates to 2020, so original homes and newer builds share the plat. Land value gets its own support before the house is adjusted.
Ninety two parcels between Camelback and Mummy mountains, southeast of the Camelback Inn, each averaging just over an acre. Assessor records show houses as new as 2026 next to far older ones. When a dated house sits on a prime acre, most of the value is in the dirt, and land sales back that up.
Most of the town is in Scottsdale Unified; a small part falls in the Creighton Elementary and Phoenix Union High School districts (Wikipedia). Mountain Shadows, the Camelback Inn, Sanctuary on Camelback and the Hermosa Inn operate inside town limits, so a home backing a resort is checked for noise and traffic.
Tyler's 2025 reports averaged 5.9 days, and 100 percent arrived on or before the promised date.
It's quoted by address, lot and report type. Tyler replies with the fee and the next inspection date, usually within one business day.
Other hillside sales come first, matched on view and slope. A flat acre a street away answers a different question.
Usually not. Most of its lots sit in a Maricopa County island, so the report names the jurisdiction and comps follow it.
Yes, both, documented to USPAP. With so few sales, comps for a past date of death often reach further back.
