Chandler enjoys more than 300 sunny days a year, with summer highs often climbing above 100 degrees from June through September and milder winters in the 60s and 70s.

What should I know about buying a home in the Chandler area?
Under the standard AAR contract, buyers typically get a 10-day inspection period by default, so it is important to use that time wisely.
