As a Phoenix Realtor, there are some client questions I cannot answer. A home buyer who asks what crime is like in the neighborhood might be surprised when I direct them to the Internet for answers. There is some information (including demographic statistics) that a real estate agent cannot speak about due to federal fair housing laws and I prefer to leave some elements, such as the quality of the school district or local crime statistics, answered by other sources.
Some of this information will make or break a decision to buy. The quality of school systems has long been of importance to home-buying families and luckily, there are a variety of sources Phoenix home buyers can use to get the information on their own. Below you will find useful links to check any of the important factors that may determine where you choose to buy your next home.
