Moving to Sun City, AZ

So You Are Thinking About Moving to Sun City

Every year thousands of people move to Sun City and Sun City West from all over the country, and Canada too. The sunshine, the rec centers, and the low cost of living make it an easy choice. Moving across the country is still a big deal though, so here is what we tell our relocating clients.

Sell the Stuff Before You Move

Moving a whole house of furniture to Arizona is expensive, and a lot of it will not fit the desert style anyway. Tim explains why many of our clients sell most of it and start fresh.

Get Ready for the Arizona Heat

Winters here are beautiful, and summers are hot. Most residents shift their day early, hit the pool, and stay inside in the afternoon. Some head north for a few months. Here is what you need to know.

Arizona Heat, Watch Out

Know the Costs

• Annual recreation center assessment for every property
• One time fees at closing when you buy
• Low property taxes compared to most of the country
• Higher electric bills in summer for air conditioning

We break all of this down for you before you buy, so the budget is clear from day one.

Buying From Out of State

A lot of our buyers start their search from somewhere else. We do video tours, send floor plans, and handle the details locally so you can buy with confidence. When you are ready to visit, we line up a full day of showings. Learn about the floor plans and phases first, then start your search with us.
