Key insights
The seasonality of short-term rentals is reverting to pre-pandemic norms, with peak demand during summer, spring break, and holidays. Midweek and off-season demand is generally lower, requiring fewer restrictions and potentially lower prices.
Mistakes to avoid
Fixating on a break-even price per night can lead to missed revenue opportunities. Accepting a price slightly below the perceived break-even point can result in bookings that would otherwise be lost, increasing overall revenue.
