The Homebuying by the Ages survey responses capture REALTOR® perspectives on what buyers ages 25–34 and buyers ages 55+ are prioritizing when purchasing a home in Arizona.

Arizona homebuyers, both first-time buyers and retirees, share the same dream of comfort, safety and simplicity. They’re seeking move-in-ready homes in safe, connected communities that fit with their lifestyles.

Key findings from the survey:

• Buyers across both age groups are looking for turnkey homes, not renovation projects.
• Both groups are seeking move-in-ready homes in safe communities that fit with their lifestyles.
• Recreation and outdoor amenities define what makes a home appealing and outdoor spaces are a key driver of homebuying interest statewide.
• First-time buyers remain motivated by budgeting and equity building. Affordability remains an equalizer across all age groups.
