Phoenix Metro Housing Forecast 2020
The FHA floor will increase from $314,827 to $331,760 for single-family home loans. The increase includes all counties under HBACA jurisdiction, Maricopa County, Pinal County, & Yavapai County. The FHA national low-cost area mortgage limit of $331,760 is set at 65% of the national conforming limit of $510,400.

DOES THAT MEAN PRICES ARE GOING UP 6.5% IN 2020?
NOT REALLY, WE ALREADY HAVE HAD HALF OF THAT PRICED IN LAST YEAR IN 2019. SO, I WOULD EXPECT ABOUT 3% MORE THIS YEAR.
WE ARE GOING TO WITNESS SOME MORE CREATIVE LOANS COMING TO THE MARKET LIKE IN THE 2004/5/6 AND THAT COULD BE A BIT OF CONCERN.
BUT AS LONG AS THE WATERS REMAIN CALM INTERNATIONALLY AND AT HOME, - !!!! - IT IS TIME TO PREPARE FOR THE WINTER AND DO WHAT THE ANTS OF MESSOR DO!


While sellers may be able to ask more for their homes, they’re likely to get fewer offers in total due to more buyers being priced out of the market.

How much higher can rents go in Phoenix Metro in 2020 ?
In the last 10 years rents have gone up 60% in Phoenix Metro Area and half of that has been since 2012.

Let's put that into perspective: if the rent for a 4 bed room 2 bath approximately 2400 sq ft house built in 2000 or newer with no pool in Surprise AZ was around $1200 in 2012, it is around $1600 today. If this house was worth $200,000 in 2012, it is now worth about $270,000. With a cap rate of about 7%, $200,000 X 7% = $1200 and  270,000 X 7% = $1600. 

How much has income growth been since 2012 in Phoenix Metro ?
Unemployment has gone down from 10% in 2012 to slightly below 5% and it is estimated to go even lower in the next 12 months. Jobs are in abundance and growth is compensated for the huge migration to Arizona, approximately 272,000 in 2018 and a bit more in 2019 and expected to even be more in 2020.

Households in Arizona have a median annual income of $56,581, which is less than the median annual income of $60,336 across the entire United States. 

Average cost of utilities (electric, gas, water, sewer, trash, and cable) is about $600 a month. $1600 rent + $600 utilities = $2200 X 12 months = $26000 which is almost 50% of the Annual Household Gross Income.   With 3% increase in income per year, we can estimate the income grow to about $61,000.

We estimate an increase of 3% increase in rent in 2020. Cost of living is still kind of low in Arizona comparing to neighboring states and major metropolitan areas. So the same house at 3% price and rent increase for the next 3 years will be around $300,000 and the rent will be about $1750.
