Owner Says Sell

If you're looking to move to a new state, Arizona real estate is definitely worth a look. We have put together a summary of what Arizona has to offer, as well as an overview of the FSBO real estate market in the state.

The largest and fastest growing city in Arizona is the city of Phoenix. Phoenix is the capital of Arizona, the economic hub of the state and the sixth largest city in the United States. In fact, Phoenix's phenomenal growth, has actually overwhelmed Tempe and Scottsdale, it's neighboring towns. Phoenix always seems to feel as though it is a brand new city, which means a lot of people believe that it has no authentic past.

If you are a sports lover then Phoenix is a great place for you. Within Phoenix, you will find many sports teams, including football, baseball and basketball. Phoenix even has a professional ice hockey team, the Phoenix Coyotes. Maybe you wouldn't expect an NHL team to be located in the middle of the Arizona desert, but that's just what you'll find!

If you want to get out of the cold, Phoenix is the state for you. The summer average temperatures can soar above 100 degrees, but don't worry because there is practically no humidity. In the winter months, the nights can be on the colder side, but during the day, the temps will still be in the mid 70s.

Flagstaff and Phoenix do not share many similarities, as the city of Flagstaff has an overall feeling of the Wild West era of old. Flagstaff in located on famous Route 66 and is considered a college town because the Arizona State University is located here. The University, better known as "ASU", has over 30,000 students who more or less dominate Flagstaff.

Arizona real estate is very reasonably priced compared to other states. You will find that the low $300,000s, is the typical average home price. But, over the last year, Arizona housing prices have gone up more than 25% because it has become a popular place to relocate to.

People either really like Arizona or hate it based on how they view the heat. If you prefer hot, sunny days, Arizona real estate may be a very good investment.
