Canadian Investors Buy into Phoenix, Arizona Single Family Home Heated Leasing Market
Phoenix, AZ Valley’s residential single family leasing market’s Rent Check Quotient (RCQ) derived by dividing the # of leases by the # of closed sales as reported in March by ARMLS STAT shows a 42% RCQ.
Most homes will have multiple offers now within the first 48 hours of being listed. Low supply has driven up prices. Often Arizona resident financed buyers are beaten out by the ‘CASH is KING’ Canadian US real estate investors. According to S&P/Case-Schiller Home Price Indices; Phoenix experienced a .8% increase from Dec. 2011 to Jan. 2012 in Phoenix which was one of two cities in the US to report an increase. The other city was Miami, Florida.
I work with investors from all over the World including Canada that are primarily interested in the Phoenix-Metro Southeast Valley areas;
The Southeast Valley areas–primarily Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert and Tempe yield on average higher monthly rents and provide quality renters that are looking for easy access to freeway systems for easy commutes to/from work, good school districts and well established neighborhoods.
For the month of Feb, 2012 there were 3,073 closed single family rental units up 18.4% from Feb. 2011 as a result of investor sales turned rentals.
