The city is cracking down hard on un-regulated Short term Rentals -- they want to ensure that the tourists are being provided safe rentals, as well as ensuring that they (the city) are being paid. 

It has a lot of the draws - close city center, great tourist traffic, good weather, reasonably inexpensive property (although it sounds like that changing).Our STRs and AirBnB's here in Washington State are booking up like crazy as well - especially those with cabin / forest vibes. 

I feel that the real estate market will be tough in a small percentage of the markets that depend on restaurants/tourists as the foundation for the economy.

Not ever seller will value this, but when they think about it some might...and for some it will be a big relief.When I was thinking of buying in Bay area 20 years ago and there might be 70 offers on a property, people got real creative with what they did to woo sellers...flowers, wine, airline tickets, vacation stays, etc. 

It's a very popular destination known to attract snow birds and tourists from all over the world because of our warm winters, spring training months, golfing, hiking and all of the other amazing things Phoenix is known for.

As an agent who invests in and believes in STRs in Scottsdale, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the winter, I would be happy to provide my take on the market.Your property options include SFRs and townhouses/condos.

The total real estate appreciation over the past 8 years has been recorded at 102.77%.There’s also a fantastic tourist community here, which drives great demand for Airbnb and VRBO rentals.

Looks like I'm late to this conversation @Leilani Leszkay, but as Account Closed mentioned, Paso Robles wine country is as busy as ever with tourists from all over visiting us.

Broad question, so here's an overview of the area:Joshua Tree National Park (JTNP) is the tourist attraction.
