Why homeowners should consider adding ADUs to their homes in the Phoenix metro area.

How could zoning reforms affect the housing market in the Phoenix Metro area? Housing supply has become a pressing issue and is sparking conversations about zoning reforms across the country, and it’s gaining attention in Arizona as local governments explore ways to increase housing supply and affordability.

This issue is especially important in Phoenix since rapid growth and demand for housing are putting pressure on existing zoning regulations, but how do these reforms affect you? Let’s dive deeper into what’s happening and talk about zoning on a local level.

Local zoning reforms in Arizona. Arizona is having more discussions and ideas around zoning reform to help address housing shortages. Some cities are exploring big changes, like allowing more multifamily homes and duplexes. One of the most exciting ideas is accessory dwelling units. These are small, self-contained homes that can be added to single-family neighborhoods to boost housing options and affordability in important areas.

Opportunities for homeowners. ADUs offer a unique opportunity for homeowners. If you’re able to add an ADU to your property, it can serve multiple purposes, like housing additional family members or turning the ADU into a rental property to generate an income stream.

This opportunity is noteworthy because, in some cities where ADUs were previously not permitted, new zoning reforms may now make them possible.
