A lot of mansions across metro Phoenix are sporting “for sale” signs in their front yards.

But luxury home sales in the Valley picked back up in March after sagging last summer during the stock market jitters.

Last month was the best March since 2007 for home sales priced $500,000 and higher, according to Walt Danley Realty’s latest luxury real estate report.

In March, eight homes priced above $3 million sold inParadise Valley, Scottsdale and Arcadia. That’s up from five a year ago.

The trend continues and is spreading. Just last week, two mansions in Chandler sold for more than $2 million.

Still listings for homes in the northeast Valley, where the most expensive neighborhoods can be found, are up 17 percent to the highest level since 2011.

Wealthy homebuyers have some great Valley houses to choose from now.

Music superstar Alicia Keys is selling her stylish Phoenix Camelback Mountain home. The asking price is now $3.5 million, down from $3.85 million in January.

Baseball Hall of Famer Randy Johnson is selling his 25,000-square-foot Tuscan-style Paradise Valley mansion for $25 million.

A Paradise Valley estate called Villa Paradiso with an indoor basketball court, hair salon and 20 bathrooms is on the market for $35 million. The house, owned by New York hedge-fund executive Robert Sussman, is the priciest house for sale in Arizona.
