Phoenix, AZ in the news

New Build-to-Rent Homes Hit Record With 3 Times as Many Houses Under Construction

Phoenix is the leading metro when it comes to build-to-rent houses, tripling its number of single-family homes for rent between 2018 and 2022. This means that, out of the more than 8,200 build-to-rent units in the metro, more than 6,000 opened their doors in the last five years. In Phoenix, the prequel to the trend of build-to-rent homes was the housing crisis of 2008. Institutional investors bought two-thirds of the homes (about 20,000 units) that were no longer owner-occupied after the Great Recession, according to the Urban Institute. And, since then, greater Phoenix’s significant population growth — 5.8% between 2016 and 2021 — and its developing suburbs have created a high demand for single-family rentals. In response, the metro has attracted new, out-of-state investors like New York-based Mack Real Estate Group LLC, which is planning to build 735 rental homes in Phoenix

Built-to-Rent Homes Expected to Hit All-Time High in 2022, Fueled by Need for Space and Privacy

The Phoenix metro is at the forefront of homes-for-rent development with a total of 6,420 houses in built-to-rent communities. The area is also a leading metro in new apartment construction, making it one of the top coveted areas for renters overall.
