Paradise Valley Arizona is the community with the highest average home prices in Metro Phoenix. The pecking order for average home price in Metro Phoenix is: #1: Paradise Valley, #2: Carefree, #3: North Scottsdale, #4: Fountain Hills. Unlike the greater Metro Phoenix market which is going up (18% March 2011 to March 2012) when one looks at the median and mean (average) prices of homes in Paradise Valley AZ from March 2011 to March 2012 they have gone down.
The median price was down $250,000, and the mean or average price was down $176,768, or 12.11%. Why are prices down when the rest of the market is up?
