The Flagstaff Housing Market
Flagstaff sits at 7,000 feet in the largest ponderosa pine forest in the country, and selling a house here comes with problems the rest of Arizona never sees. Winters bring heavy snow loads, ice dams, and freeze-thaw cycles that crack foundations, split pipes in homes left vacant, and wear out roofs years ahead of schedule. Wildfire risk is real and insurers have become selective, which stalls financed sales on homes in the wildland-urban interface, and the burn scars from recent fires north of town have turned ordinary monsoon storms into flooding in parts of Doney Park and the Timberline area. Northern Arizona University keeps a large stock of aging student rentals in Sunnyside and the Southside, and the city's strict short-term rental environment and high prices relative to local incomes leave many owners with a house that is expensive to carry and hard to sell to a conventional buyer. Many properties in the county pockets around town are on wells and septic, with cabins and manufactured homes that lenders will not finance. A Flagstaff house with a roof problem or an insurance question can sit on the market through an entire winter.
Leased Solar Panels in Flagstaff
Arizona has one of the highest rates of residential solar in the country, and a large share of those systems were installed under a 20 or 25 year lease or power purchase agreement rather than bought. The pitch was no money down. The reality at sale time is a contract the buyer has to qualify for and assume, a monthly payment that does not go away, an escalator clause, and a UCC fixture filing recorded against the house that a title company treats as a lien until the solar company releases it. Buyers' lenders balk, buyers' agents steer away, and the solar company takes weeks to process a transfer or quote a buyout that is often tens of thousands of dollars. Owners also inherit these contracts. A parent in Sun City or Mesa signed a 25 year lease at age 75, and now the heirs are being told they owe the remaining term or a buyout before the house can close. We buy houses with leased solar, PPAs, and solar loans. We work directly with the solar company on the transfer, buyout, or release, we account for the cost in the offer so there is no surprise at closing, and we handle the UCC release through the title company. If the system is owned outright, even better, and we treat it as the asset it is.
