Episode 18
Friday, 27 February, 2026
Send a textHousing 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
