With chilly fall weather descending on large swaths of the country, many snowbirds are already fleeing to warmer destinations. If you're finding yourself jealous of these migrant homeowners, or contemplating becoming a snowbird yourself, a getaway home in a milder climate might be the solution.
While you may not be living large like a celebrity, these snowbird homes - all priced at $250,000 or less - won't break the bank, either.

Chandler, AZ
5750 W Commonwealth Pl, Chandler, AZ 85226
For sale: $210,000
No list of snowbird destinations would be complete without mention of Arizona and its 290+ days of sunshine per year. This Chandler home allows you to make the most of that sun with great Northern exposure that lets in abundant light. The backyard pool offers refreshing dips on hot days, while a tall stone fence ensures you'll still have lots of privacy in this little desert oasis, complete with palm trees and cacti.

Orlando, FL
14844 Lady Victoria Blvd, Orlando, FL 32826
For sale: $200,000
Florida offers snowbirds so many sunny cities - not to mention the lack of a state income tax - that it couldn't help but make the list twice. With three bedrooms, you'll never feel short of space in this 1,914-square-foot house. However, you may still want to spend all your time reading and relaxing in the sun room, which fills with Florida's nearly endless sunshine. On the off chance that you do want to leave the house, the large trees in the backyard offer excellent shade for an afternoon barbecue.
