    Arizona is getting alot of first time home buyers and retirees.
    I went and looked at new houses a year ago and seriously debated making the move to the Phoenix area.(Gilbert ,Chandler)
    Problem is I love AZ but CA is still better.
    I've had the same problem :cry:

    I was third generation CA. It was hard for me to leave as well. But we were having twins and needed a bigger home. Could not afford $10,000 a year in property taxes and a $800,000 home. To each his own I guess.

    This is out of a local paper here:
    Valley new-home market to set record

    Metropolitan Phoenix's new-home business is poised to set another record this year despite a second-half slowdown that is reining in what had become a runaway market.
    The number of permits issued for new homes fell 6.53 percent in November compared with a year earlier, said analyst R L Brown, publisher of the Phoenix Housing Market Letter. But barring an unlikely December collapse, the Valley is positioned to beat last year's record without breaking a sweat.
    Through November, builders had pulled 58,491 permits in the Valley. And with monthly permit numbers typically exceeding 4,000, it's clear that last year's milestone of 60,872 is about to become an old standard. advertisement
    The Valley also has a chance of hanging on to its title as the country's top new-home market, although Brown says rising prices may be finally eating into demand.
    Yet he believes the big reason for the drop-off in permits is overloaded cities that can't process them fast enough and delays getting approvals for and installing subdivision basics like water and sewer lines and streets.
    Larry Seay, executive vice president of Scottsdale-based Meritage Homes, expects 2006 to be "robust" for Valley building even if it's not another record.
    I've been to Chandler and I'm not impressed.

    I understand.
    I was lucky enough to purchase a place before it wen't Bannanas. I am about to sell my Condo in South OC and buy a house in Corona. My condo will sell for right around 480K and I am looking at houses in the 500-550K range.Nice thing about buying a house 10+ years old in Corona is I will no longer have to pay Mello Roos.(I currently pay 4300 in PT and the next house I buy will only be 1%)
    I am still debating buying investment property in AZ
