The Market

Why Sedona Is
Different

Sedona is essentially an island of private property surrounded by National Forest. No new land means no new supply — and that structural scarcity is what's driven consistent appreciation for decades. Paired with nearly 3 million annual visitors and year-round demand, it's one of the most compelling short-term rental markets in the American Southwest.

~$950K
Median Home PriceHigher-entry market with matching returns — luxury properties routinely generate $100K–$200K+ annually.
74%
Our Managed OccupancyAbove the 68% Sedona market average. Two peak seasons plus strong year-round demand from hiking, biking, and vortex tourism.
$900+
Our Avg Daily Rate3× the Sedona market ADR of $294. Premium amenities, Superhost status, and dynamic pricing drive rates that most operators never reach.
01
🏔️

Protected Land

Surrounded by Coconino National Forest — development is permanently limited, ensuring lasting scarcity and value.

02
📈

Consistent Appreciation

~7% annual appreciation rate, backed by structural supply constraints and sustained out-of-state buyer demand.

03
🌞

Year-Round Tourism

Two high seasons plus mild winters means your calendar stays booked 12 months a year, not just summer.

04
💰

Premium Returns

Our managed portfolio averages $300K annually — 4× the Sedona market average. Premium amenities, Superhost status, and dynamic pricing make the difference.

05
🏛️

STR-Friendly Laws

Arizona state law preempts local STR bans. Sedona permits are manageable with the right guidance.

06
🏡

Retirement Upside

Many investors rent for years, then convert to a personal retreat or retirement home. It pays for itself.

Who We Work With

Three Types of
Buyers

01
🏖️

Vacation Home Buyers

You want a Sedona getaway that pays for itself when you're not using it. We help you find a property that works as a 5-star guest experience and a personal escape — with the amenities that drive top reviews and premium nightly rates.

  • Properties in walkable Uptown or scenic West Sedona
  • Pool, hot tub, and view prioritization
  • Turnkey management available from day one
  • Personal-use blocks built into your calendar strategy
02
📊

Investment Property Buyers

You're buying to perform. You want maximum occupancy, maximum revenue, and a professional team that treats your asset like their own. We give you real portfolio data, honest projections, and a clear path to profitability.

  • Revenue modeling based on our 8-property portfolio
  • PriceLabs dynamic pricing from day one
  • Access to our vetted cleaning and maintenance network
  • Full property management services available
03
🌅

Future Retirement Buyers

You're thinking long-term. Buy now, rent it out for 10–15 years while it appreciates, then retire into it. Sedona's limited supply means your investment should be worth significantly more the day you move in permanently.

  • Long-term appreciation strategy consultation
  • Properties in quieter, more residential neighborhoods
  • Low-maintenance design and landscaping guidance
  • Community and lifestyle orientation included
The SedonaEpicStays Edge

We Don't Just
Advise.
We Operate.

Most real estate advisors give you market reports. We give you something better — 13 years of firsthand experience buying, furnishing, listing, pricing, and managing luxury Sedona properties. Our advice is built on real data from a real portfolio.

01

Real Revenue Data

We share actual occupancy rates, nightly rates, and annual income from our 8 properties — not industry averages. You'll know exactly what a comparable home could earn.

02

Neighborhood Intelligence

Uptown vs West Sedona, pool permit requirements, HOA restrictions, noise ordinances — we know which blocks perform and which ones come with headaches.

03

Turnkey Path Forward

After your purchase, we can take over completely — licensing, photography, listing, pricing, guest communication, cleaning, maintenance. You own it. We run it.

04

Trusted Agent Network

We connect you with Sedona's top buyer's agents who specialize in investment and vacation properties — and who understand STR potential, not just square footage.

Best For Walkability · High Demand

Uptown Sedona

The most walkable area in Sedona — steps from restaurants, galleries, trailheads, and the famous Tlaquepaque. Premium nightly rates, strong year-round occupancy. Our own properties here consistently lead the portfolio.

Best For Views · Privacy

West Sedona

Larger lots, more privacy, and jaw-dropping panoramic red rock views. Great for luxury homes with pools. Slightly longer drive to town, but guests seeking seclusion and scenery love it. Strong performance in the luxury tier.

Village of Oak Creek

More accessible price points, 15 minutes south of Uptown. Proximity to Bell Rock and Cathedral Rock trailheads is a major draw. Lower entry cost with solid STR performance — a strong choice for first-time investors.
