The Poster Child for Housing Excess: The City of Maricopa, AZ


Nothing exemplifies the boom and bust of this cycle like the City of Maricopa, Arizona. A distant Phoenix suburb, the city’s growth has been phenomenal:

  • 1,040 people in March 2000
  • 4,998 people in March 2004
  • 24,625 people in July 2006
  • 33,000 today

The city incorporated in 2003 and subsequently issued 11,350 building permits from 2005 through 2007. I visited the city again last month and I must say it is meticulously planned with beautiful new homes, schools and parks.

The city incorporated in 2003 and subsequently issued 11,350 building permits from 2005 through 2007. I visited the city again last month and I must say it is meticulously planned with beautiful new homes, schools and parks.

The tremendous growth that fueled Maricopa was driven by crazy speculative investment activity, both by investors and those who moved their families into the city. Some new homes have been reduced in price by 50% and are still not selling, because auction and bank-owned signs are everywhere. Why buy a brand new home from a builder in a community that will probably not be finished, when you can buy one in a completed community for less than the construction cost? To complicate matters, most potential new residents do not have a down payment saved.

City officials in Maricopa and many other high-growth cities have their work cut out for them. Construction in many outlying areas has ground to a halt, which means city officials in many cities will need to focus on all of the problems that come along with halted growth: abandoned homes, empty lots with stubbed utilities, infrastructure bonds that go into default, and rising local unemployment. I wish them well.

This is the most current available data for all variables and markets.
