It's either somebody guessing, repeating what they've heard or read from another source or lying (if they want to promote a destination).Given what I just mentioned, I don't know what the appreciation rate has been in Merida/Yucatan but there is no way it's been 15% an it doesn't come close.

Golf carts are very popular in my area (Destin).

Embarking on a work holiday, and my sights are set on Destin.

Not really snobird destinations that I am aware off but the market is pretty good.Sedona is super popular, but there are pockets of restricted areas and the new mayor has been pretty vocal about his hatred of STRs.

Historically a vacation-destination market, which is important.

Panama City Beach, Destin and the surrounding beach towns are great if you're looking to invest in STRs near the beach and in Florida. 

From boosting civic pride to attracting new residents and investors, the win has positioned Kansas City as a desirable destination with a bright future!

Recently I've turned my attention to homes in towns that surround traditional popular destinations hoping to get in where the average home goes for a little less.

Something like spring break if your location is a destination for that, big convention or event, etc.

We own an STR in North Conway, NH that gets about 80% occupancy, being a winter and summer destination.
