Arizona continues to dominate the national build-to-rent (BTR) conversation—and the data backs it up.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

  • Massive Growth in BTR:
    • Nearly 14,000 single-family rental homes are under construction in Arizona—second only to Texas.
    • This will grow Arizona’s BTR inventory by 76.3%.
  • Metro Phoenix Is Ground Zero:
    • The Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler metro leads with 13,100+ units in development—more than most entire states.
  • Small Cities, Big Surges:
    • Casa Grande: 600% increase in rental supply (700 units).
    • Buckeye: Nearly 1,900 homes underway; a 332% inventory jump.
    • Apache Junction & Queen Creek: Both expected to more than double their BTR inventory.

💡 Why It Matters for Investors:

  • High population growth and housing shortages make Arizona an ideal market for BTR development.
  • Secondary cities like Casa Grande and Buckeye offer massive upside potential.
  • Local governments showing openness to development make this a market that rewards proactive investors.
