Sub-$250k will get you a decent condo in Scottsdale, but the monthly dues (and random assesments) can be a hard pill to swallow. Figure an extra $200-$300 every month (and higher in some cases). If you don't need a lot of "bells & whistles" you can find nice, smaller, single-family homes in decent areas for $250k +/-. If you want anything larger than 1800 sqft, or a pool or a 3-car garage, your choices dwindle very rapidly. As far as other places to scout, I would personally look in the NE/N/NW parts of the valley. N. Peoria, N. Glendale, N. Phoenix, Cave Creek, Carefree, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, etc.
If you are looking South of Phoenix, you might consider Ahwatukee, Gilbert, Chandler, etc.
Just for grins, I ran a quick search on SFR's & condos under $260k in the NE Valley:
Condos to paruse.
SFR's to paruse.
