Tucson, Ariz. 

A recent study done by Camino Real Land Corporation has shown Arizona has become a top destination for travel and retirement in the United States. From the 2000 census forward, Arizona has been a top destination for tourism and a national growth leader, attracting millions of newcomers to urban, suburban, and rural areas alike. With the downturn in the national economy, Arizona, along with nearly every other state, has faced challenging times. However, the latest news headlines are bringing Arizona back to center stage as a great place to visit--and to live.

Arizona wins XLIX Super Bowl bid over Florida

On Oct. 11, 2011, the Associated Press told the world that "The Super Bowl is coming back to Arizona." The article announced that Super Bowl XLIX, played after the 2014 football season, will be held at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, home to the NFL Arizona Cardinals.

This will be the second Super Bowl played at the stadium and the third held in Arizona, with the 2007 game adding $500 million to the state's economy. The impact on migration to Arizona cannot be calculated in dollars and cents but history has proven the power of mass media.

The Super Bowl is an international advertisement for Arizona. More than a hundred million viewers--many of them looking out the living room window at icicles and grey slush--will be seeing those bright, clear, sunny skies and imagining what it would be like to golf or play tennis 365 days out of the year.

Arizona welcomes more visitors, US and abroad

The latest reports on tourism reinforce that Arizona's star is once again rising. A report from Dean Runyan Associates shows travel spending in Arizona is up 7.9 percent from 2009 levels and gross sales at hotels are up more than 12 percent from last year. Hotel occupancy is up 4 percent over last year in select areas, according to STR Global, provider of the well-known STAR reports.

The past two decades have proven one thing: The more people who see and experience the state's vast beauty, incredible weather, and quality of life--the more people move to Arizona.

Arizona has remained at the top as a national growth leader, welcoming new residents who want to escape colder climates and higher costs of living. The state expanded an unbelievable 22.9 percent since the 2000 census, drawing newcomers to four-season recreation, natural beauty, a reasonable cost of living, and Southwestern friendliness.

One of the most important groups in terms of near-future Arizona migration is the Baby Boomers who postponed acting on their retirement plans. This massive post-World War II population bubble has always played a leading role in economic, social, and cultural trends. In a recent CNBC special entitled Tom Brokaw Reports: Boomers!, this group was called "history's wealthiest and most influential generation."

Del Webb, a national leader in active adult housing developments, recently surveyed Baby Boomers in both the 50 and 64 age groups. The company discovered that many are still planning to move when they retire in spite of recent economic downturns--and fully half of those, 50 percent of them, have plans to move out of state.

The "sunbelt" states are still leading as top retirement destinations, of which Arizona, Florida, and California have always been top contenders. In the past few years, Florida has lost favor because of hurricane worries; while California brings concerns of earthquakes and a soaring cost of living. Arizona stands in a class of its own for freedom from natural disasters, outstanding climate, unspoiled landscapes, abundance of open recreational area, and reasonable cost of living.

"We all knew that Arizona would rebound," said Ricardo Pomar, President of Camino Real Land Corporation of the breaking news. "As a long-time developer and land owner in Arizona, I have never seen a better time to take advantage of today's low land prices. How often do we have a chance to see so clearly into the near future? Tourists are returning and soon Arizona will be front and center on the world stage. The same outstanding qualities that brought millions to Arizona over the past two decades are still here. I have watched the value of land in Arizona climb steadily through economic ups and downs, and that steady gain will continue. But everything comes in cycles, and today's buyers will be ideally positioned to gain the maximum benefit from Arizona's coming population surge. Now is the time to buy low and catch the wave of new growth. Land values have not suffered the way residential real estate values have through the latest downturn. Land is a limited resource and subject to the laws of supply and demand. Growth always brings a rise in land value, and rapid growth quickens that process. The values rise more quickly over a shorter period of time."

Where is the best buyer's market in the nation today?

The answer may surprise you!

Across America the economy remains rocky, the stock market rises and crashes, and the residential real estate industry continues to struggle.  But in sunny Arizona, opportunities to purchase quality land shine more brightly than ever before.  It's a buyer's market and the time to act is now.

Why Arizona?

 Scenic Arizona in the heart of the enchanting and beautiful Southwest has remained one of the top three states in the nation for real estate price appreciation over the last 40 years.  Arizona also claims one of the highest percentages of population increase during that same period, welcoming a flood of new residents to a sun-drenched climate, outstanding quality of life, breathtaking landscapes, four-season world-class recreation, and diverse elevation settings.

And what about the future? No one has a crystal ball, but many experts agree that the 2010 census confirms that Arizona will remain a bellwether for national growth trends.  William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., explained the state's position this way: "(Arizona) is a fast-growing state, and it's a place that's at the nexus of the future of America.  You're getting people who are starting out their lives and finding it's too expensive to live in California... You're still getting retirees, which is going to be a huge group as the Baby Boomers begin to retire."

Why buy land NOW?

As available land dwindles, prices soar.  Land is the ultimate vanishing resource.  Most people know someone who bought land along the outskirts of development many years ago and saw its value double many times over.  Most of us also know people who will always be kicking themselves for NOT buying that same land many years ago when the prices were so low.  Which one will you be?

What is the RIGHT land?

Affordable "young" land in the path of growth is one of the safest, smartest places to park your cash in any economy.  Many financial advisors tell would-be buyers to stake their claim where the pavement stops.  In fact, history has proven that it is literally impossible to lose money owning quality land IF purchased cheaply enough and held long enough.  Patience plays a role in any land ownership, but lower-priced rural lots in most cases will double their value more quickly than higher-priced parcels in more developed areas.  The $10,000 lot will usually double to $20,000 faster than most $50,000 lots will reach $100,000.  The factors that steadily increase their worth remain constant:  Growth and development.

The solid rock under quality Arizona land is tried and proven long-term appreciation.   That's why even some pension funds, endowments, and trusts are beginning to invest in quality land as part of a balanced portfolio.  They recognize the simple fact that quality land can weather a recession much better than stocks and many other investment alternatives.  Investors from other countries are becoming more and more interested in purchasing land in America.  They know that quality cheap land can offer security, future financial gain, and a hedge against economic inflation.

The price will NEVER be lower!

Ricardo Pomar has been in the real estate business since 1977, founding Camino Real Land Corporation in 1997 to specialize in finding premiere acreage properties in Arizona.  "We have seen property values in the Sunsites area of Southeastern Arizona continue to steadily climb, year after year," said Pomar.  "We are convinced that our company offers some of the most spectacular view properties available anywhere in the nation at rock-bottom prices and truly unmatched terms.  I can't imagine anyone having trouble believing that today's values will double.  It's only a matter of time:  WHEN, not IF."

Camino Real is currently offering quality view lots for as little as 7 to 15 cents per square foot.  "We find that people from all over the nation want to own land in this incredible area," said Pomar.  "The Sunsites area is just an hour's drive from Arizona's second-largest city of Tucson and is completely surrounded by spectacular national and state parks and monuments as well as some of Arizona's most celebrated attractions.  With our 100% money-back guarantee of satisfaction and a full year to inspect their purchase, we set the buyer's mind at ease.  They can't lose! Our clients can choose from one-acre lots in the friendly master-planned community of Sunsites or 2.5-acre rural ranch lots just 20 minutes from the full range of Sunsites amenities--including a championship 18-hole golf course.  Some are so excited when they visit the area and see their lot that they end up purchasing additional lots."

Unbelievable terms!

Camino Real Land Corporation stands in a class of its own for favorable terms: Zero dollars down and zero percent interest.  "We want our buyers to realize the gains from their money," said Pomar.  "We want every dime of land appreciation to be theirs.  That's why we offer terms that we have not seen anywhere else in the nation! We know that many people have experienced setbacks in their credit standing through no fault of their own, and we want them to know that they will be approved for financing.  Our position as a developer and volume buyer places us in a position to offer these unique advantages, along with truly affordable monthly payments! Many of our clients have thanked us for making it possible for them to realize a dream that they thought was beyond their reach."
