 There are several factors that need to be considered that you won’t necessarily find in black and white on the Arizona MLS:• Terraces – Whether you call them terraces, balconies, or patios, they’re important.  These terraces can vary in size, anywhere from 25 square feet to over 1,000 square feet.  Some units even have two terraces or balconies!• Mountain Views – The Camelview Optima is surrounded by mountains including the infamous Camelback Mountain.  Units that have great views of the mountains can be very desirable.• Pool Views – Having great views of either of the well maintained two outdoor pools can be a huge plus.  Being able to sit on your terrace or in your living room and look out at the sparkling blue water amongst all the green foliage can really make you feel like you’re ...

Most of the units for sale, 24, were in Scottsdale and the remaining 11 were located in Phoenix,The most expensive unit for sale was one that was new to the market in last month's report. This amazing penthouse is located in the Scottsdale Waterfront Residences  and has three bedrooms, three and one-half bathrooms and 3,940 square fee...

The rise of short-stay rental sites like Airbnb, VRBO and HomeAway is tempting homeowners to purchase vacation homes that will also generate income. For some, renting is a way to recoup some costs of a second home purchased primarily for family fun. Others do the math and find it makes sense to rent full time or close to full time. Rental income can also defray the cost of improvements if the second home is a fixer upper, says Brian Sharples, CEO of HomeAway, which has more than 1.2 million paid listings in 190 countries.Vacation homeowners make an average of $28,000 a year in rental income, according to results of a quarterly survey released in March of 1,253 owners who list on HomeAway.com, VRBO.com and VacationRentals.com. In a separate annual HomeAway survey released in June, 70% of...
