Buying Real Estate in Arizona is Made Simple for Canadian Home Buyers

By Jim Wehner


As a busy real estate agent in Scottsdale, AZ I have seen a growing trend of clients who originate from Canada like I have ever seen before in nearly a decade of being a Realtor. With the Canadian currency doing very well compared to the US dollar, paired with depressed American home values, it has created an excellent market for Canadian real estate buyers seeking a second home, investment property, or relocation to Scottsdale.

Not only are the prices at, or near rock bottom, there is an excellent inventory of a wide array of properties. Whether you are looking for a resort-like condo, a single family home with a backyard paradise, a mansion in North Scottsdale or Paradise Valley, you will be overjoyed with a great desert lifestyle. I've had the benefit of working with buyers of all walks of life and income brackets. There is one thing they all can gain from. it's a perfectly ripe time to pick up a great new property. Interest rates are near historic lows and the home prices appear to be at, or near rock bottom. Scottsdale Arizona property prices have actually gone up in value nearly 2% from November 2010 through January 2011. This may be an indicator the prices in Arizona may start to rise.

Traveling for Canadians on the west side of the country is that there are direct flights direct to Phoenix airport. The weather averages around 70 degrees between November and March, it's no wonder flocks of Canadians are escaping to the Arizona climate. The warm sunny weather, golf courses, lakes, casinos, art galleries, and great dining are a few of the attractions. Major League Baseball has a large presence during the spring as several baseball franchises flock to the desert for the Cactus League Spring Training which is home to the 2010 world champion San Francisco Giants. There are also professional hockey -Phoenix Coyotes, NFL Football-Arizona Cardinals, and MLB-Arizona Diamondbacks teams that call the area home for year round sports.

The lifestyle that I have shared with so many Canadian real estate investors has brought me so much joy. I am so grateful to be in this amazing industry that allows me to work with and meet so many great walks of life.
