Real Estate Relocation Guide To Arizona

Relocating from Chicago to Arizona is a major move. You’re crossing state lines and heading 1,500 miles to find a new home in a different community. By familiarizing yourself with the local real estate market, whether your destination is Phoenix or Flagstaff you can get a good idea of the Arizona landscape and locate the best area for you and your family.

We’ll start with the big picture… Arizona has an estimated population of 6.1 million* and around 113,600 square miles of land. The total number of housing units is 2,605,095, of which about 1.5 million are owner-occupied and 701,000 are inhabited by renters. Roughly 380,000, or 14 percent, of the residences in the state are vacant. The median home value in Arizona is $236,500 and the median household income is $47,265. For an idea of how this sizes up with national averages – the median home value in the U.S. is $185,200 and the median household income is $48,451.

Statewide figures provide a good overview of Arizona, but when you’re planning to relocate to the region, knowing what types of housing are available is the most important thing. So here’s a breakdown of what Arizona real estate has to offer…

About 102,000 homes in Arizona are new construction, developed in 2005 or after (another 406,000 were put up between 2000 and 2004). Arizona has its share of vintage charm as well with 42,000 residences built prior to 1940. The total number of detached, single-family houses across the state is 1.6 million, and there’s also a good selection of multi-unit residences and condos. Most homes have 3 bedrooms, but size varies greatly depending on where you look. And, in case you’re wondering about how your budget will pan out in The Grand Canyon State, monthly mortgage costs in [Alabama] generally hover between $700 and 2,000+.
