Arizona is attracting buyers relocating from all over the country, but we’re especially noticing an influx from California and Colorado. We’re also seeing a spike in demand of local buyers. Due to COVID-19, we’re seeing many buyers seek out homes that better fit their stay-at-home lifestyle. People want more home office space, play rooms, homework stations, and pools. Homes, now more than ever, need to suit potential buyers’ live, work and play needs.

If you’re looking to sell, this is an ideal time to move because buyers are on the hunt. If you’re looking to buy, then be sure to partner with a realtor that is prepared to work hard and compete to not only find you a home, but also present a winning offer.
