Snowbirds Coming Soon?

People have been coming to Arizona for years to escape the cold, snow and icy conditions that they experience in other states over the winter months. From November/December to around March/April Arizona has a tremendous population increase by about 375,000-400,000 new people.

A lot of people own homes from manufactured homes in mobile home parks to single family homes in prestigious golf communities around the state and everything in between. Some visitors just come and rent for 4-6 months to enjoy all the activities you can do in warmer weather.

Winter visitors are usually 50 years old and up. Many call them snowbirds and this way of life has become increasingly popular in the "Baby Boomer" age group (those born between 1946-1964).

These visitors not only come from cold states around the United States but from Canada as well. There are many activities in Arizona that attract these visitors. From tennis and golf to entertainment, dinner theaters, culture and art, to simple things such as pools and spas.

Are you or someone you know considering the Snowbird way of life? Do you have questions about the local market. If you or someone you know is interested in getting more information regarding buying or renting a home in the Metro Phoenix area. Please call us we would love to help answer your questions.
