Affordable Home-Buying in Arizona: Fact or Fiction? - 09/19/16, Phoenix AZ Buying a home remains a challenge for many people, despite the Valley’s ranking as second best in a recent Bankrate.com study on the most affordable markets. That’s why a group gathered in Phoenix on Thursday to share ways to increase home ownership among low- to- moderate income families. The event, cosponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Arizona Housing Alliance and the Hispanic Association of Real Estate Professionals, also featured a panel on state and federal programs designed to increase home ownership.

Mobile Homes Working Group Meetings, Jan - Jun 2016, Phoenix AZ Mobile homes in Arizona are becoming a vanishing source of affordable housing as many parks across the states are sold or closed. Mobile home owners may own their trailers but not the land beneath them. As our economy improves, many parks owners are looking to cash in on rising land values. The Arizona Housing Alliance is coordinating a series of meetings where the Working Group Committees will meet to study the scope of the problem and identify potential issues and solutions. |
