Let’s break down the pros and cons of both options and what to consider before making your move.
Renting a home during the winter season is a great way to test the waters before committing long-term. Our seasonal rental market offers a wide variety of properties ranging in price, style, and size.
The rental market is robust, with single-family homes typically renting for $3,500 to $7,000+ per month, depending on location, amenities, views, and proximity to golf or hiking. Condos and villas range from $2,500 to $6,000 monthly, with properties near downtown and the Fountain commanding premium rates.
If you’ve visited Fountain Hills and fallen in love with the weather, the mountain views, and the peaceful lifestyle, buying a second home might make sense—especially if you’re thinking about long-term use, retirement, or frequent visits from family.
We’ve helped many clients just like you who were deciding between renting and buying a second home in Fountain Hills. Here’s what we often recommend:
If you’re planning to return year after year, host family frequently, or want to build long-term value in a desirable Arizona community, buying a second home may be the smarter move—especially with strong resale value in this one-of-a-kind community of homes ranging from small condominiums to beautiful custom homes on large lots with mountain views, near miles of scenic hiking trails. Fountain Hills is also minutes away from several airports and the world-renowned shopping mecca of Scottsdale.
