Phoenix Revealed To Have the Most Out of State, Single Family Home Investors

One new analysis, conducted by ATTOM Data Solutions regarding the real estate ownership of America, suggests that Maricopa County has the greatest amount of homes owned by investors from the entire country. Moreover, it also has the highest number of single-family homes that are under the ownership of investors that are out of state.

Owners that are out of state hold 35% of the investment housing stock present in the Phoenix region. The counties of Southern California including San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside make up five of the counties in America that have the highest number of houses owned by investors. 

With time, Phoenix has only become the center of entrepreneur and startup scene, and continues to improve. Investors from all over the region are also starting to take notice of this fact.


Maricopa County, including Phoenix and the suburbs, consists of around 253,000 houses that are under the ownership of investors. Additionally, Maricopa County also has the largest number of houses than any county in the United States of America that are owned by investors which are out of state.

Almost 89,000 single family houses in Phoenix are owned by parties that are out of state, suggests the real estate research group. In fact, owners that are present out of state have a 35% hold on the investment housing stock of the region.

The reason behind this is the fact that Phoenix appeals to a lot of investors because of the combination of excellent government partners, collaboration spaces, support resources, affordable living, and the enthusiasm of the members of the community. These factors make Phoenix an attractive place for investors to grow and become more involved.

After Maricopa County, the next in the line having the greatest number of out of state investors is Los Angeles County with almost 199,100 houses followed by Wayne County with around 195,200 houses.
