Goodyear, AZ Rental Market for Investors
An estimated 59% of Goodyear's active listings could cash-flow as a short-term rental — here's what the numbers say for investors, as of October 2026.
As of October 2026, we analyzed 686 active for-sale homes in Goodyear, Arizona. The typical listing is priced at $494,995 and is projected to generate about $49,389 a year as a short-term rental.
After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 59.0% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — roughly in line with the 53.1% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Goodyear #71 of 200 for cash-flow potential.
On market momentum: homes in Goodyear sit a median of 60 days on the market, and 29% of active listings came on in just the last 30 days — a steadily paced market, which shapes how much room there is to negotiate.
For a DSCR loan — which qualifies on the property's rental income rather than your personal income — that's a relatively healthy setup: in Goodyear, a meaningful share of listings throw off enough short-term-rental income, after costs, to cover an estimated investor mortgage payment.

Darker means a larger share of that group cash-flows. “—” means fewer than 8 active listings — too few to draw a conclusion from.
