As of August 2026, we analyzed 940 active for-sale homes in San Tan Valley, Arizona. The typical listing is priced at $448,944 and is projected to generate about $44,040 a year as a short-term rental.
After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 68.0% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — well above the 52.5% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking San Tan Valley #33 of 200 for cash-flow potential.
On market momentum: homes in San Tan Valley sit a median of 64 days on the market, and 27% 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 San Tan Valley, a meaningful share of listings throw off enough short-term-rental income, after costs, to cover an estimated investor mortgage payment.
