New Construction Homes
for Sale in Scottsdale, AZ.

North Scottsdale

Where the volume is. Toll Brothers sells Sereno Canyon from the $1.3 millions (2,157 to 5,193 sq ft), HighPoint from $1,584,995 (3,350 to 5,500 sq ft) and Storyrock from $1,965,995, all in the McDowell foothills. Camelot Homes’ Shadow Ridge near Tom’s Thumb offers 4,190 to 6,046 sq ft on lots up to an acre and is down to its final homesite. Anne Sostman of The Brokery reads these as three tiers: townhome, production estate, and semi-custom on the preserve edge.

The Airpark Corridor

Scottsdale’s new attached product is clustered along the Loop 101. Aria at Silverstone (K. Hovnanian, gated, from the low $900s, up to 2,673 sq ft, 85255) has quick move-ins delivering October 2026. Toll Brothers at Cavasson, 136 three-story residences of 1,965 to 2,672 sq ft with rooftop terraces at Hayden and the 101, opens sales in late 2026 from about $1.03 million. Atavia at One Scottsdale (Belgravia, 88 residences) is taking contracts from the mid-$800s to $1.7 million, and Optima McDowell Mountain is releasing for-sale condos in phases across six eight-story buildings at 7220 E Mayo Blvd. Anne Sostman of The Brokery tracks release dates here because the best floor plans go in the first release.

South Scottsdale

No master plans, no builder communities, and the most interesting new homes in the city. Builders buy 1950s and 1960s houses south of Chaparral, take them to the slab and deliver 2,800 to 4,000 sq ft modern and transitional homes on established streets. Current listings put finished infill in 85251 and 85257 roughly between $850,000 and $1.5 million, and the best ones trade before they reach the MLS. Anne Sostman of The Brokery works this corridor lot by lot and sees the spec homes while they are still framing.

Per Square Foot

Production homes in North Scottsdale communities build out at roughly $300 to $500 per square foot before lot premiums and design-center upgrades; custom and high-end spec work runs $500 to $800 and above. Anne Sostman of The Brokery prices every new build against the resale homes on the same street, because a lot premium the builder charges is only worth what the next buyer will pay for it.

How Arizona Protects You

Most Scottsdale builders warrant workmanship for one year, mechanical systems for two, and structure for ten. Separately, the Arizona Registrar of Contractors accepts a written complaint against a licensed builder for two years after close of escrow or occupancy, and Arizona’s eight-year statute of repose caps contract claims for construction defects. Anne Sostman of The Brokery reads the warranty booklet with buyers before the design-center appointment, not after.

The First-Visit Rule

The agent at the model home works for the builder. Nearly every Scottsdale builder pays a buyer’s agent only if that agent registers the buyer at, or before, the first visit; walk in alone once and that representation is usually gone for good. Buyers pay nothing for Anne Sostman of The Brokery to negotiate incentives, upgrades, lot selection and inspection rights on a new build.

Where are new homes for sale in Scottsdale, AZ right now?

In 2026 the active new-construction communities in Scottsdale are concentrated in North Scottsdale and along the Loop 101: Toll Brothers’ Sereno Canyon, HighPoint and Storyrock, Camelot Homes’ Shadow Ridge, K. Hovnanian’s Aria at Silverstone, Belgravia’s Atavia at One Scottsdale, Optima McDowell Mountain, and Toll Brothers at Cavasson opening sales in late 2026. South Scottsdale’s new homes are infill spec builds on teardown lots in 85251 and 85257 rather than communities. Anne Sostman of The Brokery keeps the current list and the release schedules.

Is there new construction in 85251 and South Scottsdale?

Yes, but not in builder communities. New homes in 85251 and 85257 are infill: a builder buys an older house south of Chaparral, demolishes it and delivers a new 2,800 to 4,000 square foot home on the same lot. Current listings price finished infill roughly between $850,000 and $1.5 million. Anne Sostman of The Brokery sees many of these while they are still under construction, before they list.

How much does new construction cost in North Scottsdale?

Gated new townhomes along the Loop 101 start in the upper $900,000s (Aria at Silverstone from the low $900s; Toll Brothers at Cavasson from about $1.03 million). Single-family communities start from the $1.3 millions at Sereno Canyon, $1,584,995 at HighPoint and $1,965,995 at Storyrock, and acre-lot estates at Shadow Ridge run above $2.7 million. Anne Sostman of The Brokery adds the lot premium, design-center upgrades and HOA before calling any of these numbers a price.

Do I need a realtor to buy new construction in Scottsdale?

You do not need one, and you should have one. The sales office represents the builder, and most Scottsdale builders will only pay a buyer’s agent who registered the buyer at the first visit, so the decision has to be made before you walk in. The builder pays the commission, so representation from Anne Sostman of The Brokery costs the buyer nothing and covers incentives, lot selection, upgrade pricing, independent inspections and the contract terms builders write in their own favor.

What warranty comes with a new home in Arizona?

Typical Scottsdale builder warranties are one year on workmanship, two years on systems and ten years on structure, and the terms vary by builder. Separately, Arizona law lets a homeowner file a written complaint with the Registrar of Contractors for two years after close of escrow or occupancy, and an eight-year statute of repose limits contract claims for defects. Anne Sostman of The Brokery reviews the builder’s warranty booklet with buyers before contract.

Should I buy a new home or a resale in Scottsdale?

New construction gives current systems, a builder warranty and no deferred maintenance; resale gives mature landscaping, larger lots and, in most of Scottsdale, a lower price per square foot on the same street. In South Scottsdale and Arcadia the two compete directly, since infill new builds sit between 1960s ranches. Anne Sostman of The Brokery runs that comparison house by house rather than by rule.

Are there off-market new construction homes in Scottsdale?

Yes. Infill builders in South Scottsdale and Arcadia routinely sell spec homes to buyers introduced through agents while the house is still framing, and community builders release lots to registered buyers before public release. The Brokery’s Private Client Network, run through Anne Sostman, is how buyers see those homes first.
