Peak demand November–March (ski/snowbird season); lower summer occupancy
Scottsdale is one of the premier luxury STR markets in the US, particularly dominant in winter months when snowbirds and retirees flock to the desert. The city has relatively host-friendly regulations at the state level (Arizona preempts local STR bans) while Scottsdale itself requires registration. Spring training for MLB teams (Cactus League) drives massive demand in February-March with nightly rates often 2-3x normal.
