Fact

Arizona does not observe daylight saving time

Most of the state stays on the same time year-round.

The Navajo Nation observes daylight saving time.

Where in Arizona Should You Start?

Two markets. Two different versions of Arizona. Explore each one to find where your move could take you.

Greater Phoenix

Phoenix, Arizona

Valley-wide choice & new construction

Metro Phoenix spreads across the Valley, and each city inside it has its own feel — walkable urban pockets, large master-planned suburbs, golf-oriented areas and active-adult communities. Mountain preserves and regional parks sit inside and around the metro. Most buyers here are choosing between community types more than between cities.

  • Master-planned communities with amenity centers
  • Mountain preserves and regional parks inside the metro
  • Golf-oriented and active-adult options
  • Walkable urban districts and quiet suburbs

Why we start with new construction

Start With the Strongest Opportunities

Most home searches start with every listing on the market. Nubuild starts by identifying new-home communities and financing opportunities that may create the strongest overall value — then we compare those options with the right resale homes for your move.

What we look at first

Not the longest list of homes — the opportunities that may create the strongest total value.

We compare estimated monthly payment and estimated cash needed to close, not list price alone. Offers vary by builder, community, home, lender, market, timing and buyer qualification.

  • Rate Opportunities

    Builder or preferred-lender programs may change the monthly-payment comparison on select homes for qualified buyers.

  • Builder-Paid Closing Costs

    Builder contributions may help reduce the amount of cash needed at closing.

  • Rate Buydowns & Financing Strategies

    Temporary or permanent buydowns and other financing strategies may be available depending on builder, home, lender, market and qualification.

Selling Before You Move?

If you currently own a home, that property is usually part of the relocation strategy — not a separate project. Tell Nubuild about it when you build your move plan. We can support your destination purchase directly and help coordinate selling guidance, or an approved referral where that is the better route for your area.

Arizona Isn't One Lifestyle. That's the Point.

Desert quiet, master-planned community or cooler high country — the right Arizona depends on how you want to live.

Relocation Questions

Can I begin looking for homes before I move to Arizona?

Yes. Most of our relocation clients start months before moving day. We can review markets and communities with you remotely and keep a shortlist moving while you plan the rest of the move.

Can Nubuild help me compare Phoenix and Tucson?

That is one of the main reasons to start with us. Each market has a different mix of communities, commutes and housing options, and we walk through the tradeoffs with you rather than pushing one destination.

Does Nubuild only work with new construction?

New construction is our specialty, not our limit. If an existing home is the better fit for your location, timing or budget, we will help you compare appropriate resale options too.

What if I haven't spoken with a lender yet?

That is completely normal at this stage. Tell us on the form and we can point you toward lender options to speak with. Nubuild does not make lending decisions or approve financing.

What if I need to sell my current home before moving?

Let us know when you build your move plan. We can help coordinate appropriate selling support, or an approved referral where that makes more sense, and factor the sale into your timing.

Can Nubuild help me see homes remotely?

Yes. Virtual consultations, video tours and community walkthroughs with a local Nubuild agent are a normal part of relocating from out of state.

Can Nubuild help me find current Arizona homes?

Yes. Tell us the market, what you're looking for and your approximate range, and a Nubuild advisor can help you identify current opportunities.
