    Arizona Housing Truths: Building, Buying, and Breaking the Affordability Myth (with Court Crofoot)

    Send us Fan MailHousing affordability dominates the conversation in Arizona—but are we actually talking about the right problem?In this episode of THE LOCKBOX, I’m joined by Court Crofoot, Branch Manager at CrossCountry Mortgage, to break down what’s really happening in the Arizona housing market.We dig into why the issue isn’t who owns homes—but how difficult it has become to build and buy them. From lending standards and mortgage qualification challenges to location trade-offs and market corrections, this conversation cuts through the noise and focuses on real-world solutions.We cover:Why Arizona does have attainable housing—just not always where people want itHow renters are already proving they can afford homes through consistent paymentsThe biggest obstacles borrowers face when trying to qualify for a mortgageWhy streamlining lending could unlock homeownership for thousandsHow market corrections differ from market failuresWhat builders, lenders, and policymakers should focus on if they actually want to move the needleIf you’re renting, thinking about buying, or just tired of the same recycled “affordable housing” talking points, this episode offers a grounded, honest look at Arizona real estate from both the housing and lending sides of the table.🎧 Listen in for a no-nonsense discussion about building smarter, lending better, and changing the narrative around Arizona housing.JASON CAN BE REACHED AT 480-276-2954 OR WWW.THEGRANDONGROUP.COMThank you for watching The Lockbox brought to you by Arizona's #1 Brother and Sister Real Estate Team, THE GRANDON GROUP powered by My Home Group.Call us anytime at 480-276-2954 JASON or my sister Stacey at 602-312-5610

    Spring Training for the Arizona Real Estate Season

    Send us Fan MailThe weather is perfect. Baseball is back. And Arizona is officially warming up. ⚾🌵Just like MLB Spring Training, this time of year is all about practice, preparation, and positioning — and the Arizona real estate market is no different.In this episode of The Lockbox, we break down why late winter and early spring is the spring training period for real estate. It’s the window where smart buyers and sellers quietly get ahead before competition heats up, inventory floods the market, and emotions start driving decisions.We talk about:Why buyers who prepare now often get better leverage, cleaner negotiations, and less competitionHow sellers who list early can capture more attention, stronger offers, and motivated out-of-state buyers already in town for spring trainingWhat we’re seeing on the ground right now in the Arizona market — showings, buyer behavior, and early signals of where the season is headedArizona’s spring training season brings energy, optimism, and opportunity — and that energy carries directly into housing. Buyers are visiting from colder states, falling in love with the lifestyle, and making moves. Sellers who understand timing and strategy can take advantage before the market becomes crowded.This episode isn’t about hype or predictions. It’s about preparation. Because just like baseball, the teams that win the season aren’t the ones scrambling on opening day — they’re the ones who did the work early.If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just want to understand how timing impacts Arizona real estate, this episode will help you see the season differently.Opening day is coming. The question is — are you ready?Thank you for watching The Lockbox brought to you by Arizona's #1 Brother and Sister Real Estate Team, THE GRANDON GROUP powered by My Home Group.Call us anytime at 480-276-2954 JASON or my sister Stacey at 602-312-5610

    "From Dependency to Opportunity: Rethinking Section 8"

    Send us Fan MailSection 8 housing assistance was originally designed as temporary help—a safety net to keep families afloat until they could get back on their feet. But in today’s reality, the program often functions as a permanent system. Many families stay on assistance for years, sometimes decades, and the structure discourages advancement.In this episode, Jason Grandon of The Grandon Group and Instantrenters.com explores HUD’s proposed reforms to Section 8, including a two-year cap on housing benefits, and why this change could help families grow, create accountability, and strengthen communities.Jason shares real examples of how the current housing voucher program discourages success—for instance, a tenant who received a $2,500/month voucher for seven years but turned down a raise at her federal job, fearing the loss of her benefits. This isn’t about laziness; it’s about how the system traps people instead of empowering them.Key Topics in This Episode:The original purpose of Section 8 housing assistance and how it’s been lost.How long-term vouchers discourage upward mobility and career growth.Why HUD’s proposed two-year Section 8 cap could be a positive step.Benefits of reform: stability, accountability, and motivation to succeed.Perspectives from HUD leadership and reform advocates.Ronald Reagan’s insight: “The welfare state is the only thing in government that’s built to destroy itself.”The bigger vision: treating housing as a stepping stone to homeownership and independence.At The Grandon Group, we believe real estate is more than property—it’s about building futures. At Instantrenters.com, we see housing, whether through Section 8 or private rentals, as a launchpad to independence. With the right reforms, today’s renters can become tomorrow’s homeowners—strengthening the housing market and local communities.This isn’t about politics—it’s about responsibility, growth, and opportunity. By shifting the focus from dependency to independence, Section 8 reform has the potential to transform lives, improve neighborhoods, and build a stronger housing market for everyone.Closing Thought: Let’s stop seeing housing as a system that holds people down and start treating it as the foundation that builds people up.Thank you for watching The Lockbox brought to you by Arizona's #1 Brother and Sister Real Estate Team, THE GRANDON GROUP powered by My Home Group.Call us anytime at 480-276-2954 JASON or my sister Stacey at 602-312-5610

    The New Build Dilema

    Send us Fan MailHere we are—nearly three months into 2025, and the Arizona real estate market is still keeping everyone on their toes. Prices have remained relatively steady, and it’s still a buyer’s market, yet some sellers (and even agents) haven’t quite caught on that this isn’t 2015 anymore. Some homes are still way overpriced, sitting on the market longer than they should.But let’s be clear: this isn’t a doom-and-gloom post. The market is still good—in fact, it’s a great time to buy. However, there’s an interesting dilemma that buyers need to be aware of when making their next move.The New Build AdvantageNow, before you think I’m about to bash new builds, let me stop you right there. The Grandon Group—Arizona’s #1 Brother and Sister Real Estate Team—has been selling a ton of new builds lately. And for good reason! Builders like Lennar, KB Homes, Taylor Morrison, and Toll Brothers (just to name a few) are putting out some fantastic homes right now.But here’s where things get interesting…Let’s say Mr. and Mrs. Buyer get prequalified through a regular lender. If they go to buy a home—whether it’s a resale or a new build—their interest rate is likely sitting in the upper 6% range (or higher). Not great, but manageable.However, if that same couple walks into a new build sales office, they’ll probably find out they can get a much lower interest rate—somewhere around 5.5% or even less.How is this possible?Builders saw this market shift coming and locked in lower rates with their banks and investors well in advance. That means they can now offer special financing deals that most traditional sellers simply can’t compete with.So, What’s the Dilemma?Buying a home with a significantly lower interest rate means:✔️ Lower monthly payments✔️ More buying power (you might be able to afford more house for the same budget)✔️ Better long-term financial benefitsSounds like an easy decision, right? Well, not so fast.The challenge is that many of these new builds aren’t always in the exact location buyers want. They’re often in booming, up-and-coming areas rather than well-established neighborhoods. So buyers have to weigh what’s more important:• Getting their ideal location with a higher interest rate or• Getting a brand-new home with a lower rate in a developing communityThe Bottom Line: Don’t Ignore Your OptionsLook, I’m not saying don’t buy a resale home. Resale homes have charm, character, and often better locations than new builds. But with today’s market conditions, you owe it to yourself to at least explore new builds.And no matter which route you take—make an offer. Too many buyers (and even some agents) are afraid to negotiate, worried they might offend a seller. But this is business. If a home is overpriced, put in an offer that makes sense. The worst they can say is no, but you might just land a great deal.At The Grandon Group, we’re here to help you navigate this market and make the best decision for your future. Whether you’re looking at resale or new builds, let’s find you the right home at the right price.Stay tuned for my next podcast episode where we dive deeper into ‘The New Build Dilemma’ and talk about what’s really happening in the Arizona market right now!Thinking about buying?

    THE REAL ESTATE LIFESTYLE: The hard work behind the Freedom

    Send us Fan MailWelcome to another exciting episode of The Lockbox, brought to you by The Grandon Group, Arizona’s number one brother and sister real estate team! Today, Jason Grandon shares a personal reflection sparked by a morning drive to the gym, leading to a deeper dive into the unique lifestyle real estate offers—one filled with freedom, challenges, and rewards.Have you ever wondered what it’s like to step away from the traditional 9-to-5 grind and build a career that offers you the flexibility to work hard and still have time for life’s special moments? Jason opens up about the perks of being a top real estate agent in Arizona, including the ability to hit the gym at 10:30 AM or have a leisurely lunch with his wife, all while others are tied to their desks. But don’t be fooled—real estate isn’t all midday outings and celebratory closings. Jason dives into the realities of the industry, debunking the myth that real estate is “easy money.”In this episode, Jason shares the rollercoaster nature of the business. From months where deals feel impossible to close to those overwhelming periods where it’s hard to keep up, he talks about what it really takes to succeed. Spoiler alert: it’s not just luck. Organization, consistency, and building genuine relationships are what set successful agents apart. He reflects on how he and his sister Stacy have grown The Grandon Group through relentless hard work, client-centered service, and a passion for helping people achieve their real estate dreams.Jason also discusses the stress that comes with the freedom real estate offers. Yes, he has the ability to manage his own schedule, but that flexibility comes at a price: late-night calls, weekend showings, and constant availability to his clients. He touches on how essential it is to stay mentally and emotionally resilient in an industry where no two days are the same.And because it’s Jason, this episode isn’t all work and no play. He brings his trademark humor and energy to the mic, sharing funny and heartwarming stories from the field. Whether it’s an unexpected encounter during a showing or the joy of handing over keys to a first-time homebuyer, Jason highlights the moments that make real estate so rewarding.The episode wraps up with an inspiring message for both aspiring real estate agents and potential clients. If you’ve been thinking about jumping into real estate, Jason gives you a dose of tough love—it’s not easy, but with grit and determination, the rewards are worth it.

    The Ballot and your HOME

    Send us Fan MailWhen it comes to real estate, we often think of location, price, and amenities, but there’s another critical factor that directly impacts your home’s value—your vote. Without diving into political affiliations, it's important to recognize how elected officials shape policies that affect housing values, community strength, and the overall well-being of our neighborhoods.Policies That Impact Your Neighborhood:  Whether we like it or not, government policies, both local and national, play a huge role in our housing market. Zoning laws, property taxes, infrastructure spending, and education funding all have a direct effect on home values.Certain policies can lead to underfunded schools, deteriorating public services, and a decline in community safety. When that happens, housing prices tend to drop. On the flip side, good policies attract businesses, improve school quality, and make neighborhoods more desirable—all of which increase property values.Good Schools, Higher Home Values:  One of the biggest factors influencing home prices is the quality of local schools. Buyers with families are willing to pay more to live in areas with well-rated schools. This means your home is worth more if it's located in a district with strong educational outcomes.Conversely, homes in areas with underperforming schools often have lower values. So, if you're a homeowner, being invested in the success of your local schools is a smart move. Ensuring schools are well-funded and teachers are supported means not only a better future for the students but also a stronger housing market for you.Get Involved for the Health of Your Community:  One of the most effective ways to protect and grow your home’s value is to stay involved. Vote in local elections, attend community meetings, and advocate for policies that benefit your neighborhood. Elected officials have the power to make decisions that will either strengthen or weaken your community. By participating in the process, you're ensuring that those decisions are beneficial to your area’s growth and prosperity.Voting Shapes Your Future:  While the housing market can be unpredictable, your role in shaping it is clear. Elected officials and their policies can either help your home and community flourish or cause them to falter. By voting for good leadership, advocating for strong schools, and supporting community-focused initiatives, you can have a direct impact on the value of your home and the quality of life in your neighborhood. So, when you step into the voting booth, remember that your vote matters not just for today, but for the future of your home.For all of your real estate needs: www.THEGRANDONGROUP.com is Arizona's #1 Brother and Sister Real Estate Team brokered by My Home Group.  We can be reached at 480-276-2954 or Thegrandongroup.com.Thank you for watching The Lockbox brought to you by Arizona's #1 Brother and Sister Real Estate Team, THE GRANDON GROUP powered by My Home Group.Call us anytime at 480-276-2954 JASON or my sister Stacey at 602-312-5610

    RENOVATE OR MOVE

    Send us Fan MailRenovating or moving is a big decision, and we will be  discussing the pros and cons of both options. We also have mortgage professional  Derek Evans on the show to talk about financing options.  Some of the key points you’ll be covering in the episode?Those are essential factors to consider when deciding whether to move or renovate:Cost: Comparing the cost of renovating versus buying a new home is crucial. Renovations can sometimes be more cost-effective, but it depends on the extent of the renovations and the real estate market.Emotional Attachment: Emotional ties to your current home can play a significant role. Considering what you'll miss about your home and neighborhood is essential for making an informed decision.Real Estate Market: Assessing the current state of the real estate market is crucial. It's essential to know if it's a good time to sell and if you'll get a good return on your investment.Timing: Timing is everything, especially when it comes to family needs and lifestyle changes. Evaluating whether the timing is right for you and your family to make a move is key.These points provide a comprehensive framework for making a well-informed decision about whether to renovate or move.We hope you enjoy this episode of THE LOCKBOX brought o you by THE GRANDON GROUP, Arizona's #1 Brother & Sister Real Estate Team brokered by @MYHOMEGROUP.Call Jason Grandon at 480-276-2954 with questions or visit us at www.THEGRANDONGROUP.comThank you for watching The Lockbox brought to you by Arizona's #1 Brother and Sister Real Estate Team, THE GRANDON GROUP powered by My Home Group.Call us anytime at 480-276-2954 JASON or my sister Stacey at 602-312-5610
