The U.S. Population Keeps Growing! How about AZ?

According to the US Census Bureau Arizona is the second fastest growing state with Nevada being number one. This equates to a faster and stronger housing recovery for our state than other parts of the US.
The 2010 Census released by the US Census Bureau, the US population was more than 308 million as of April 1, 2010, up 9.7% from 2000 resident population of 281 million.
All four regions of the country posted population increases over the past decade. The South gained more than 14 million people and the West gained more than 8.7 million. The Northeast and Midwest grew by 1.72 million and 2.53 million, respectively.
California was the most populous state with more than 37 million residents, and Wyoming was the least populous with 563,626 people. Texas had the largest population gain numerically (25.14 million, up from 4.29 million) and Nevada had the highest percentage gain, up 35.1% to 2.7 million. Michigan was the only state that declined in population.

Food, clothing and shelter are the big three that humans will always need for survival. With the population growing there will be no lack of demand in the future for these. It only makes sense to invest in the “shelter” part of the equation now.

Give me a call I would love to talk with you more about this and help you!
