Yea buying when new to an area isn't very smart, especially with the vast space of Phoenix. We rented for almost 2 years before we purchased, only after we explored the whole valley. Keep in mind that people mention specific cities they like or dislike but there really are great areas and bad areas of almost every part of town. So just because someone says no to a specific city, don't rule it entirely out.
You and your wife are near my wife and my age and we also have no kids. If you come to town to look around or want some tips for exploring when looking for a rental online, give me a shout. We rented sight unseen as neither one of us had been to Phoenix before we moved. With the internet, we knew exactly what we were getting and it was a pretty smooth process actually to rent a house before moving and without visiting.
