⛷️ Demand Seasonality: Winter peak
Peak demand November–March (ski/snowbird season); lower summer occupancy
Market Overview
Phoenix, Arizona is one of the largest STR markets in the US by listing count, offering very host-friendly state-level regulations (Arizona preempts local STR bans). The metro benefits from massive winter snowbird migration from Northern states and Canada, spring training baseball (15 stadiums in the Valley), and growing corporate relocation. Summer demand drops significantly as temperatures exceed 110°F, creating a pronounced seasonal pattern. Properties near spring training stadiums in Glendale, Mesa, and Peoria command significant premiums in February-March.
