As the summer heats up, so does the housing market across the greater United States. In some places, it is hotter than others, and in a few, it’s downright cold. Two states that have some cities to steer clear of buying a house in are Arizona and Texas. And that’s not just because these Southern states crank up the temperature from May to September. There are a slew of reasons for staying out of some of the lesser-known cities in both of these states.
“These cities in Arizona and Texas may not be ideal for property investment in 2024 due to economic challenges, high crime rates, environmental risks and limited amenities,” explained Colten Claus, an associate broker with 8z Real Estate. “Potential buyers should carefully consider these factors and conduct thorough research before making a purchase.”
