Real Estate TRENDING SIDEWAYS?

Single-story, horizontal rental complexes popping up across Valley moving from north Scottsdale/Phoenix,” he said. “She found these great one-story apartments right across from a park, halfway between where we both had lived.”
Catherine Reagor Columnist Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK
Metro Phoenix’s apartment building boom has a different look in the suburbs. You might have driven by one of the new rental complexes and thought it was a new home subdivision. Developers are building single-story, unattached rental homes with private backyards that look much like single-family houses. More than a dozen of these horizontal complexes have recently been built or are under construction. And renters are snapping them up. “I didn’t want to live in an apartment because of all the noise above you,” said Scott Cocuzza, who is moving into the new 136unit Christopher Todd community at Greenway and Litchÿeld roads in Surprise. His complex, which opens in January, is already 60 percent leased. “My ÿancée lives in El Mirage, and I am
Trending in metro Phoenix Most of the Valley’s new single-story apartment complexes come with the popular amenities of new homes: backyards, alarm systems, smart-home technology, 10story ceilings and even doggy doors. Most also have the amenities of upscale apartment complexes: clubhouses, exercise facilities, community pools, ramadas and ÿre pits. NexMetro Communities launched this new type of rental in the Valley and has 1,500 homes in several Avilla communities underway or recently completed, mostly in the East and West Valley. Christopher Todd Communities is currently building ÿve, one-story “horizontal” rental complexes in the Valley and has plans to construct another ÿve to seven next year. “Phoenix is at the forefront of this
emerging product type, and now we have clients planning and considering these developments all over the United States,” said Tim Sullivan, principal of national real estate ÿrm Meyers Research.
Location, location, location Most of the 18,000 new apartments going up in the Valley are located in central Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe. Many of the developments are at least three stories high, but can be as tall as 30 stories in downtown Phoenix. The horizontal projects are after a different demographic. Many are going up in Valley suburbs that have seen little new apartment development since the housing crash. “For about $50 more a month, renters are getting more privacy and top amenities in a gated community,” said Christopher Todd CEO Todd Wood, about his company’s “horizontal” rentals. “We have created a new way to live that is resonating with the marSee REAGOR, Page 3R

Can city-owned trucks park overnight on streets despite CC&Rs? Real Estate Q&A Christopher Combs Special to Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK
Question: The Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions for our Mesa community prohibit the parking of vehicles on our streets overnight. One of our
homeowners works for a City of Mesa telecommunications utility provider. This homeowner parks a large bucket truck on the street overnight in violation of our CC&Rs. Is that allowed? Answer: Probably. The telecommunications utility provider can require that the bucket truck be available to the homeowner if there is a service outage or other emergency.
If the bucket truck weighs less than 20,000 pounds, is owned by the telecommunications provider, and bears a visible designation of this ownership, your CC&Rs cannot prohibit the overnight parking of the bucket truck on the street. See ARS § 33–1809, which exempts most emergency vehicles owned by cities and towns from parking requirements in CC&Rs.
Your CC&Rs cannot prohibit the overnight parking of the bucket truck on the street.

ket.” Rents in Christopher Todd one- and two-bedroom apartments range from $1,050 to $1,350. Rents in NexMetro’s Valley homes, which are as big as three bedroom, range from $1,025 to $1,689. Arizona housing analyst Jim Belÿore said the new small, single-story rentals could impact Valley new home sales “minimally” as some would-be buyers opt to rent one of these small rentals and hold o“ buying for a bit longer.
Renters by choice Developers building typical multilevel apartments in the central Valley are going after Millennial renters who can’t a“ ord to buy there or baby boomers who want to live closer in and have a low-maintenance home. The single-story rental developers are going after people who don’t want to buy but want to live in a new suburban home that’s not attached to their neighbors. The developers are also o“ ering some of the only new rental developments in suburbs including Surprise, Queen Creek and Goodyear. “We have deÿnitely seen the demand for higher quality, leased-living experience grow on a scale like never before,” said Josh Hartmann, president of NexMetro. “Many people are choosing to rent because they don’t want to be tied down by a mortgage or deal with the hassles of maintenance.” Cocuzza, who is in his early 50s, said he and his ÿancée are signing a two-a-half-year lease because they don’t plan on buying anytime soon. Linda Giove, who moved to the Valley from New York to retire, is leasing a three-bedroom home in NexMetro’s Queen Creek rental community, near Ocotillo and Ellsworth roads. “I lived nearby and couldn’t ÿgure out what the little houses they were building were going to be,” she said. “We have always owned homes before, but I walked into this community the day it opened and fell in love. Everything is brand new, and it’s so nice and quiet.” A Phoenix developer redeÿned retirement for the country with the ÿrst Sun City. Other developers built the ÿrst big desert-golf communities here. Looks like the Valley could be launching another new national housing trend.
Amid demand, new home sales skyrocket 17.5% in November Matt Ott ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON – Americans stepped up their purchases of new homes at the fastest pace in more than 25 years in November, with sales skyrocketing 17.5 percent amid robust demand and a continued shortage of existing homes on the market. New-home sales jumped last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 733,000 units compared with 624,000 in October, the Commerce Department said Friday. That’s the biggest monthly gain since January 1992 and the most homes sold in a month since July 2007, just months before the economic downturn. The sharp upswing is a sign of the strong demand from would-be homebuyers amid the strengthening economy. Sales of new homes can be volatile on a monthly basis, but purchases have climbed 9.1 percent year-to-date and outstripped the increase in construction of single-family houses. The inventory of existing homes on the market has steadily fallen on an annual basis, while new construction has been unable to keep up with sales that are on their best annual pace since 2007. The demand propelled in part by unemployment at a 17-year low has also exposed an underlying problem with the housing market: There simply aren’t enough homes being listed for sale. The big November increase in new-

that U.S. homebuilders are feeling more optimistic than they have in nearly two decades. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index released Monday rose 5 points to 74 this month. That’s the highest reading since July 1999. “No wonder homebuilders are feeling so good these days,” said analyst Jennifer Lee of BMO Capital Markets in a note to clients. “Tight supplies in the existing market continue to spill over into new builds.”
homes sales was somewhat tempered with revisions for previous months, particularly October, which was revised down from 685,000 homes sold to 624,000. The growth was led by sales in the West, which increased 31.1 percent. Sales in the South were up 14.9 percent, followed by the Northeast at 9.5 percent and the Midwest at 6.9 percent. The median sales price of homes sold in November was $318,700, a 1.2 percent increase from a year ago. A survey earlier this week showed
30-year U.S. mortgage rates blip higher this week Paul Wiseman ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON – Long-term U.S. mortgage rates rose this week but remain lower than they were a year ago. The ÿve-year adjustable-rate mortgage rate hit the highest level since mid-2011. Mortgage giant Freddie Mac said Thursday that the rate on 30-year ÿxed-rate mortgages rose to 3.94 percent, up from 3.93 percent last week. They stood at 4.30 percent a year ago. The rate on 15-year ÿxed-rate mortgages, popular among homeowners who are reÿnancing, rose to an average

week’s survey,” said Len Kiefer, Freddie Mac’s deputy chief economist. To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country between Monday and Wednesday each week. The average doesn’t include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount. The average fee for a 30-year mortgage was unchanged at 0.5 point. The fee on 15-year home loans also remained at 0.5 point. The fee on an adjustable ÿve-year mortgage was unchanged at 0.3 point.
3.38 percent, highest since March and up from 3.36 percent last week. But it still down from 3.52 percent a year ago. The rate on ÿve-year adjustable-rate mortgages rose to 3.39 percent, highest since June 2011 and up from 3.36 percent last week. It was 3.32 percent a year ago. The Federal Reserve last week raised short-term interest rates for the third time this year. The Freddie Mac survey was taken before Congress passed a sweeping taxcut bill, sending other long-term rates higher. “If those rate increases stick, we’ll likely see higher mortgage rates in next

Question: What is the justification
Editor’s note:
for “pet rent”?
Readers who have non-emergency, general landlord-tenant, fair housing or multi-housing real estate questions can mail them to:
Answer: Pet rent is commonly charged by various property owners and management companies due to the generalized concern of the additional wear and tear on an apartment due to the maintenance of a pet in the apartment. The most common explanation given for the assessment of pet rent is the deterioration of the carpet when a resident maintains a pet in the apartment. While there clearly can be instances where the pet does not cause any damage to the carpeting or the apartment in general, it has been the experience of the industry that pets do cause damage and that justification exists to assess a pet deposit as well as pet rent.

Consider giving to community, schools at year’s end Rent Smart Courtney Gilstrap Levinus Special to Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK
Your Arizona state tax bill may let you bring joy to the lives of youth and families across Arizona with the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit program. Each year, Arizona taxpayers can make yearend contributions to qualifying charitable organizations, schools and a few other groups and receive a dollar-fordollar tax credit from the state. Many renters don’t itemize their tax bills, and some don’t know that they can participate in this tax credit program without an itemized tax return. Under Governor Doug Ducey, the tax credit donation limits increased in 2016
Different than a deduction, the tax credit helps to reduce your tax bill, or get you a larger refund. It’s easy to report this. (SB1216) to allow individuals to contribute more to schools and nonproÿts who are qualiÿed for these programs. The deadline for these donations has also been extended to match the tax deadline (April 17, 2018) but some ÿlers prefer to make their donations before the end
of the year, so they can also take a tax deduction on their federal taxes. The school tax credits can be taken by anyone, including those without children. Any individual taxpayer can donate to both public schools to support extracurricular programs ($200 for individuals), AND you can donate to the private school tuition tax credit program ($1,087). There are a number of other tax credit programs that you can take advantage of and information is easy to ÿnd online and at the Department of Revenue website (www.azdor.gov). Donations to qualifying charitable and foster care organizations (up to $4 00) should be researched to be sure that your favorite charity is qualiÿed for this. The DOR website keeps a list of those charities and most nonproÿts
have information on the tax credit program on their websites. Arizona taxpayers can e“ ectively o“set their tax liabilities to the state using these tax credits. Di“ erent than a deduction, the tax credit helps to reduce your tax bill, or get you a larger refund. It’s easy to report this on your taxes. Your tax professional can advise you about these tax credits. This end of year gift can mean so much to your favorite school or charity and will bring you the satisfaction of knowing that you are supporting a cause you care about during the holidays. The Arizona Multihousing Association is the statewide trade association for the apartment industry, representing more than 2,000 members in legislative, legal and regulatory matters.
