Kingman Real Estate Market

The recovery of the national real estate market has not been realized in Kingman, or many other Secondary Markets. The Secondary Markets historically do not recover until after the Primary Markets and the primary markets of Las Vegas and Phoenix have experienced a sluggish recovery despite a market surge in 2012-2013.

Kingman has always been a value-play for retirees seeking affordable lifestyles in a rural community with access to quality medical serives, good year round weather that was within close proximity to major MSA's. However, as a result of sluggish recovery retirees are still finding good values in the primary markets of Las Vegas and Phoenix.

New Housing Demand:
False pre-peak new housing demand created an oversupply of housing that Kingman has struggled to absorb. The slow absorption rate has been compounded by weak employment growth and flat population growth. The unemployment rate in Mohave County, AZ, is 7.60%, with job growth of 0.43%. Future job growth over the next ten years is predicted to be 33.30%.
