Winter visitors or sometimes called "snow birds" seem to flock into the southern states to live during fall and winter months and stay well into spring.
Arizona is one state that certainly gets their share of these visitors.
These visitors are openly welcomed in the state for many reasons.
Winter visitors begin to arrive near the end of September and beginning of October as the temperatures drop in the northern states.
This season will usually go all the way through April and into the beginning of May before the heat gets intense in Arizona.
These are very important months for Arizona's economy because with the visitors comes spending money in all different types of businesses.
Restaurants, retailers and independent contractors like cleaning people all benefit from the Snow Birds coming to town and spending dollars.
These same people come to Arizona and buy real estate.
They buy many different types of homes.
They love the gated 55+ communities, condos and homes that are simply easy to lock up for the winter and go back home.
Also popular seem to be the golf course communities and lake communities, golfing all winter long is very attractive to many of the snow birds.
The real estate business will actually get quite a boost in sales when these winter visitors decide to come and set up a home for 4-5 months a year.
It only makes sense, rather than renting for a few months which most places need a minimum of six months to lease a home or condo, they find owning actually establishes a great investment opportunity for them.
Keeping their homes back east or up north and buying sometimes a smaller home in Arizona is becoming more and more popular.
This makes a great time to have your home on the market, ready to show the new or potential winter visitors or snow birds heading to Arizona each year.
If you own a small business such as landscaping or house cleaning, getting the word out to the communities where these visitors live can help your business cash in on the money that comes with Arizona's busier months.
You will see the difference in cities like Phoenix and Tucson, streets get busier, stores and malls have more people in them.
Restaurants really pick up during these months and places of worship have more attendance.
Arizona loves all of you winter visitors or snow birds, keep coming to our beautiful state and enjoy our beautiful fall, winter and spring! We are happy to have you stay year round when you just can't resist staying in our great state! You are one reason Arizona continues to grow and flourish.
