Once again, the supply of homes has expanded during the previous month, a trend that's somewhat unusual for this time of year. However, the growth was modest, just 0.6%, and still falls below the usual levels. Compared to last year, potential buyers now have a 37% larger pool of homes to choose from. Yet, the enthusiasm is curbed by mortgage rates stubbornly hovering above 7% for 30-year terms, dampening demand.
Despite the recent trajectory of mortgage rates, the current market is holding up relatively well. Please see the market summary chart below for North Scottsdale. For up to date information, this summary, along with an Absorbion Price Range Analysis, can be found on LisaLucky.com under Analysis.

NORAH'S JOURNEY:
A 5-YEAR-OLD'S MISSION TO PROMOTE DISABILITY ACCEPTANCE
Norah Allgaier, a Cave Creek resident, is making an enormous impact. Diagnosed with cerebral palsey at 13 months, Norah is in a wheelchair and is nonverbal. But despite all this, she loves to spend time with friends. Norah's mom, Brittany Allgaier, was pretty unfamiliar with the disability community, and didn't know how to address questions Norah's friends would ask. This inspired a special children's book, "Norah's World," written by a mom of Norah's friend, Lacee Johnson. Designed to answer these innocent questions, "Norah's World" explains how children with cerebral palsey are just like any other kid who loves to play, even if it looks a little different. Norah is a community ambassador for United Cerebral Palsy of Central Arizona (UCP) one of the state's oldest, nonprofit health and human service organizations. She inspires others and works to increase awareness. To purchase "Norah's World," visit amazon.com. A portion of the proceeds helps with Norah's ongoing intensive therapies.

How do you embrace the hot summer days?
LAURA
Scorching summer days call for early morning outings to local splash pads with our daughter to savor some outdoor fun before the sun becomes too intense. A visit to the Aquarium keeps us cool in the heat of the day. Evening grilling during the summer months lets us enjoy the longer days along with some refreshing pool time.
RELAX AND UNWIND
MATT
Bright and early morning hikes, golf, or a spa session after a workout are great ways to start the day.
I enjoy time in our garden nurturing tomatoes, basil, mint, and even hot peppers! Dinners with friends add some extra socializing that takes full advantage of the relaxed pace summer offers.
LISA
The relaxed summer work pace means more time to discover new dining spots - it's like attending a summer camp for restaurants and bars! I relish the extended daylight hours which allow for early morning hikes or leisurely late-day strolls away from the hot sun.
