With the upswing in the economy and the rise in the value of the American dollar, homeowners across Maricopa are cashing in on houses they purchased a few years ago.
“Now is a good time to move,” Maricopa Real Estate Company owner Steve Murray said. “The values of homes are on the rise, and the market is strong. We are seeing huge increases in values right now.”
Maricopa has seen an uptick of homeowners from colder climates in recent years. To escape frigid conditions at home and to find great deals on houses, snowbirds have flocked to sunny Maricopa during the economic downturn. Since the housing market crashed in 2008, brand new homes were being purchased for as little as $60,000, Murray said.
