Houses for Sale in Goodyear, Arizona

Goodyear sits on the western edge of the Phoenix metro area. It grew quickly as a master-planned suburb, with newer subdivisions, golf, and a spring-training baseball complex nearby. Summers are very hot, so check cooling costs, a pool's upkeep and whether the roof and air conditioning are recent. Commutes into central Phoenix depend on the freeway, so test the drive at rush hour before you commit.

Typical buyers include retirees seeking winter homes, remote workers leaving California and families who want a newer house with a yard.

Foreigners may buy freely in Arizona. Most purchases use an escrow and title company, and a home inspection is standard. Look into homeowners-association rules on rentals, and ask about irrigation and water supply, an important topic in the desert Southwest. Annual property tax in Arizona is relatively low compared with many states (verify locally).

Read the US buying guide and financing options first. You can compare with house listings across the US, the national market page, or nearby sunbelt markets such as Las Vegas and Henderson.
