Rent to own Homes in Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix is a city rich with history that was inhabited by the Hohokam Indians for centuries before it was first incorporated as a city on May 3, 1881. On November 19, 1873, Judge William Berry of Prescott bought 320 acres of Phoenix property off President Grant for a total of $550. By 1880, the city had a population of 2,453. But when Southern Pacific began running trains through Phoenix on July 4, 1887, people started to move to the Valley of the Sun in droves. By 1950, the city's population grew to 106,000, making it the 99th most populous city in the country, and the area expanded to 17.1 square miles.

Phoenix's economy has changed drastically over the years as well. What used to be a farming community has transitioned into a diverse market led by industries such as tourism, business services, financial services, technology, and manufacturing. Corporate giants such as Avnet, Freeport-McMoRan, Republic Services, Magellan Health, Sprouts Farmers Market, ON Semiconductor, Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings, and Pinnacle West Capital are all based out of Phoenix.

Phoenix, AZ is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $60,914 and a median rent of $1,100, the Phoenix, AZ rent-to-own market is more affordable than the traditional housing market which has shown tremendous growth across the U.S. and with it, aggressive competition for home purchases. With the current housing shortage trend it can make it harder to become a homeowner, including in Phoenix, AZ. This means higher than average down payments for homes and higher qualification standards for conventional home loans. With a rent-to-own property, tenants are also buyers. You can live in the house for a set amount of time before you purchase it, meaning that you get to know the house, your neighbors, and your community before making the final purchase. This enables you and your family to make the right choice based on both information and experience. Rent-to-own is also a great alternative way to get into a home if you have bad credit or don't have enough saved for a down payment.
