Why is real estate cheaper in Sun City, Az than other counties

[Jimmy Rojas]

Hi everyone, I live in Phx,az and its nearly impossible to find real estate ready to live in below $350k, there are a lot of fixer uppers that are in bad condition from $200k, I have acces to MLS and noticed there are homes in Sun City ready to live in , decent area for a lot cheaper than other counties,yes, this is even the areas that are not +55 and older. These homes are not mobile or in a Hoa neighborhood .

A lot of it is due to the notion that Sun City is known as a retiree city with a ton of +55 communities and homes that are smaller and not as nice as other areas in Maricopa County. The feeling that because it's so one dimensional, it's future appreciation is tapped. 

We'll see in a few years if that changes due to the success of Surprise, which is right next door.
