Buying in Kingman

What Is Different About Buying in Kingman

Kingman is a crossroads town with high desert lots and a real rental market. Plan for these before you write an offer.

  1. Crossroads Location

    Kingman sits where I-40 meets US 93, about 105 miles from Las Vegas and 186 miles from Phoenix (Arizona Commerce Authority). That puts it within reach of two big job markets.

  2. Vacation Rental Permits

    Kingman requires an annual city vacation rental permit before a home is used as a vacation rental, plus a state transaction privilege tax license (Kingman City Code). Line those up before you count on short term rent.

  3. Route 66 Town

    Kingman holds the longest remaining preserved stretch of Route 66 and has been the Mohave County seat since 1887 (Arizona Commerce Authority). If you buy an older home near downtown, give the inspection extra attention.

  4. High Desert Lots

    At 3,345 feet (Arizona Commerce Authority), some Kingman area homes sit on larger lots with wells or septic. Lenders and appraisers can ask for water and septic details, so schedule those inspections early.

  5. Pines Above the High Desert

    Hualapai Mountain Park is the oldest park in Mohave County and still has the original stone cabins the Civilian Conservation Corps built in 1936 (Mohave County Parks). Its trails reach the highest summit in Mohave County at 8,415 feet, and the Kingman Overlook looks west over the city (Mohave County Parks). Grand Canyon West is just 70 miles north of Kingman (Visit Arizona). Moving here for the outdoors? Tell us whether it will be your full time home or a getaway, since that decides the down payment and the program.

Estimate only, not a quote or a commitment to lend. FHA figures use HUD's 1.75% upfront premium (financed) and HUD's annual premium by loan size and down payment (on 30 year loans, 0.50% or 0.55% for base loans of $726,200 or less and 0.70% or 0.75% above that; on 15 year loans, 0.15% or 0.40% for base loans of $726,200 or less and 0.15%, 0.40% or 0.65% above that); VA figures use VA's funding fee for first use (2.15% under 5% down, 1.5% at 5% to under 10%, 1.25% at 10% or more), financed. Conventional loans under 20% down usually carry PMI; enter your quote. Taxes and insurance vary by home.
