The STR market isn’t crashing — it’s recalibrating.

In this episode, we break down AirDNA’s 2026 outlook and translate the data into real, tactical decisions for hosts and property managers. Demand is softening, supply is shifting, and average properties are losing ground — but operators who adapt will win.

This is a data-backed walkthrough of what’s changing, why it matters, and exactly what to do next.
