Search homes in the Scottsdale, Arizona real estate market!

When buying a home, the first step is to determine what you can afford, since price will most likely be a deciding factor in the size, features and location of your new home. A good way to begin is by creating a simple budget, outlining your monthly income and expenses. Keep in mind, whatever amount you're currently spending in rent will be applied toward your new Scottsdale home mortgage.

As you decide how much of a mortgage you can afford, be realistic with this number and consider how much you will be able to use as a down payment. The higher your down payment, the lower your monthly payments will be. On the other hand, the lower your down payment, the less money you will have "tied up" in your home.

Once you've set your price range, the next step is to determine your minimum requirements, such as square footage, number of bedrooms, school district, parking availability, etc. Next, you'll want to tour Scottsdale residential real estate, homes and neighborhoods, to decide in which part of Scottsdale you want to live.
