NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
REALTORS
®Executive Summary
This report presents state specific information relevant to residential and commercial real estate. The market descriptions and analyses present some of the types of information that an international purchaser might find of interest:
The content of NAR’s Local Market Reports is discussed in detail. These reports present information on specific state real estate markets. Realtors® have access to the reports as part of their membership. The reports can also be made available by arrangement through NAR Research.
We also present state specific data in terms of prices, sales, demographics, income, immigration status, state exports, the state economy, and commercial real estate where appropriate. A wide variety of economic factors affect the real estate markets at various times, and we have attempted to present the data most relevant to the description of current and future market drivers and conditions.
Finally, readers are encouraged to review the information on NAR’s Global Business & Alliances Division, which has the expertise to address specific questions related to international transactions as well as the ability to direct specific questions to other NAR resources.
Overall this report is only a starting point illustrating some of the state-specific information available. It can serve as an initial basis for developing questions, identifying areas of interest, and initiating the real estate process. The amount of data available from both NAR and
governmental sources is voluminous. Depending on user information needs NAR can identify data sources and contacts and suggest appropriate contexts for understanding real estate market information.
Introduction—Overview of International Transactions
Today, we are living a global marketplace. International transactions—imports, exports, and capital flows—are substantial and growing. Along with the expansion of international trade and the internationalization of capital markets, the flow of people across borders has increased. The demand for real estate in both the residential and commercial sectors has grown, both in terms second homes as well as in terms of investment properties. The purpose of this report is to present recent economic data related to international business activity directly associated with Arizona, particularly as related to providing information to non-U.S. residents in terms of residential and commercial real estate.
The growth of the international economy provides many opportunities for rental housing, first and/or second homes, and commercial properties. A recent study, The 2011 National Association of REALTORS® Profile of International Home Buying Activity,1shows that
approximately 2.8 percent of national existing home sales involved non-resident foreign buyers. In addition, another 2.8 percent of sales were purchased by recent immigrants and foreign expats residing in the U.S. for business purposes. In the commercial area—e.g., office buildings, retail space, industrial buildings, multi-family residences, and hotel properties—property ownership is essentially a worldwide market, with investors from a variety of countries owning properties in the United States. The level of actual participation in international transactions will vary from state to state, depending on geographic, business, and demographic patterns.
International residential transactions in the United States occur for a variety of reasons: foreign expats with international corporations needing housing while working outside of their

home countries, foreign residents seeking second/vacation homes (e.g., Canadians vacationing in the winter in Florida), and foreign-born nationals seeking residences due to immigration. The homeownership rate of foreign-born households recently arrived in the U.S. tends initially not to be high. Due to language, cultural and institutional adjustments, homeownership among recent immigrants lags behind that of native-born Americans and the population as a whole. However, eventually, the homeownership rate of immigrants surpasses that of the national average, with over 80 percent of foreign-born U.S. residents owning a home – far higher than the national homeownership rate of 65.4 percent.
REALTORS® can seize the opportunity and help close the early-year homeownership gap through counseling and homebuyer education programs for their foreign-born clients. Many REALTORS® have already realized the potential business opportunities. Over the last five years, almost half of NAR members indicated that they have participated in a transaction involving an international element, and this trend will inevitably increase.

Arizona—Local Market Reports Summarize State Conditions
NAR issues Local Market Reports (LMRs) for a number of state Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA’s). The reports are available at
http://www.realtor.org/research_secured/subscription_data/localmarketreports .
The reports are formatted into 3 sections: summary activity (prices and sales), local fundamentals (economic and housing demand), and a final section that describes unique statistics that are shaping the current market.
Local markets are compared with the U.S. average when appropriate as well as analyzed for changes over time. The median price change data is shown both as a level or dollar amount and as a rate of change over various time periods. Comparing on a year-over-year basis
eliminates seasonal fluctuations. As housing is a long-term asset, it is important to show the long-term benefits to owning housing. Hence, we have included the equity gains from housing over the long-term.
The average home tenure is 7 years, so we have coupled comparison values around this period. Some households may in fact hold their home longer, boosting their equity gain. The equity gain in this report is the change in the median home price. Like the prices, home sales and construction are compared to the same period one year earlier to account for seasonal fluctuations.
The section on market fundamentals gives context to local market conditions. New employment is a factor that creates demand for housing. Potential home buyers need a steady income stream and equity to make a purchase, so this correlation is strong. However, the newly employed need time to develop the confidence and equity to make a purchase, and employment can experience broad short-term swings, so we include a 3-year view. The economic activity index, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, incorporates a number of state economic indicators, such as employment and gross state product into one index, which is used as a measure of the health of a state’s economy. Again, comparing the short-term with the long-term changes gives perspective on whether short-long-term changes are dramatic or small relative to recent trends.
The section on fundamentals also includes tables and graphs on local affordability conditions. Falling mortgage rates improved affordability during the housing boom, but moderating or declining prices are driving changes in affordability today. Consequently, we focus on the long-term and short-term changes in the monthly service cost of a mortgage (monthly payment) using the current 30-year fixed rate and the median price over a 30-year period. This calculation does not include taxes, insurance, or other expense. A measure below the historical average can suggest that a local market is in an affordable situation. In short, neither prices nor mortgage rates provide adequate justification for coloring a market as affordable or not. A buyer will run the numbers specific to his or her situation before buying. Also included are data on the monthly mortgage servicing cost both for the long-term as well as for the most recent 6 quarters. The latter pattern shows recent dynamics whereas the former puts the recent
measure does not factor in the financing options available to buyers, which makes it a second-best measure of affordability.
The final section of the report focuses on trends that are driving the current state of the housing market. Risky lending between 2005 and 2007 has caused a wave of foreclosures. However, the erratic and often shocking foreclosure figures can be deceptive. This section highlights where foreclosures are rising the most and how they fit into the local context as a whole and in a historical context.
Every attempt is made to include the best data possible. If one data source was not available for a particular metro area, a second-best solution was substituted. For instance, the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not provide employment figures for all metro areas from its
Establishment Survey. Where this data is not available, we have substituted figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Household Survey. Not all data series are complete. We attempt to complete as many calculations as possible, but when data is missing (e.g. median home price) some calculations cannot be made. Here are the data sources used:
Housing Price and Sales Statistics – The National Association of Realtors
Labor statistics – U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (Establishment Surveys and Household)
Housing Permits Data – U.S. Census Bureau
Foreclosure Data – Mortgage Bankers’ Association of America
