According to Trulia’s latest Rent vs. Buy Report published for winter 2014, it is 33% cheaper to buy a home in Arizona than it is to rent a home! If you are planning on living in Arizona for the next 7+ years, then it could make financial sense to purchase a home. Not only will you save yourself money, but you will also fulfill one of the American dreams…home ownership!

Baby It’s Cold Outside…But Not In Phoenix!

The phrase, “baby it’s cold outside,” applies to a majority of the nation as the polar vortex continues to move across the country bringing freezing temperatures and inclement weather conditions. If you live in one of those “blue” states shown on the map, then you are probably dreaming about warmer weather and sunny days. According to Trulia, as the temperatures drop across the country, the number of people searching for homes in “red” states, increases dramatically. So, if you are one of those people needing an escape from the winter blues, then why not consider moving to Phoenix, the land of eternal sunshine and warmth! Phoenix, AZ was number 2 on the list for people looking for year-round homes.

As a former resident of a “polar vortex” state, I speak from experience when I tell you that moving to Arizona was one of the best decisions I ever made. The climate in the Phoenix area offers a lifestyle that cannot be beat, with almost year-round activities available outdoors. Not only is the weather fabulous, but the local job market is very positive and if you combine that with the lower cost of living and fabulous home prices, then it’s hard to find a reason not to move to Phoenix!

You truly do not have to wait until your retirement days to make a move! If you’d like more information and help with planning your escape from the “polar vortex,” then please don’t hesitate to contact Keely Semon at 480.220.1321.
