Census and NOAA figures for the city of Phoenix in Maricopa County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Phoenix was built in 1985, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Arizona median of 1992.1 Phoenix's housing is newer than the national mix: 42% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 12% date from 2010 or later.1 Owner-occupied homes in Phoenix are older than rentals: a median build year of 1983 against 1987.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Phoenix has a mixed housing stock: 60% detached houses, 5% attached or townhouse units and 26% in buildings of five or more units.1 57% of occupied homes in Phoenix are owner-occupied (67% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Phoenix is valued at $420,700 (ACS), above the Arizona median of $394,500.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Phoenix Sky Harbor Intl Ap) averages 0.6 nights a year at or below 32°F.2,3 With few freezing nights, water and sun rather than ice are what exterior details are built against. Heat is the governing season: about 173 days a year reach 90°F and 111 reach 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies.
The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 7 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Cooling dominates the year: about 4,765 cooling degree days against 874 heating degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates.
Phoenix sits in IECC climate zone 2B (Hot-Dry).4 Building permits in Phoenix are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
