For the past 24 to 30 months, certain regions of the battered US housing market have been terrific places to invest. Phoenix, in particular, has offered investors a welcome escape from the squeeze between brutally low-interest bond issues and increasingly volatile and underperforming equities. Phoenix has been a standout because housing prices were hammered down 40 to 50% in a region with a very strong long-term economic outlook.
 

Despite the fact that Phoenix was one of the markets hit the hardest by the U.S. real estate market crash, things are continually appearing to improve for the Arizona metropolis. When the recession first occurred in 2008, mortgage delinquency skyrocketed and thousands of homeowners defaulted on their mortgages; in the first quarter of 2011, the mortgage delinquency rate in Arizona was 9.14 percent.

The Arizona real estate market can be a volatile one. Builders, renters, and buyers must be able to react quickly with sudden market shifts, which can be very difficult. Due to this, Phoenix real estate investments can also be tricky to understand and participate in, which is why it is important to invest with a company who thoroughly understands the Arizona real estate market. Capstone Real Estate takes great pride in their detailed knowledge of the Greater Phoenix area, RRSP eligible investments within the area, and what they've coined as "armchair investing".
