Struggling to fill your calendar and keep your Airbnb booked? 

Today, we’re going to cover one of the most crucial aspects of running a successful Airbnb—pricing. Whether you're new to hosting or a seasoned pro, setting the right Airbnb pricing strategy is key to maximizing your occupancy rates and keeping your property fully booked. In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to use dynamic pricing tools like PriceLabs and Wheelhouse to ensure you're not leaving money on the table. More specifically, we’ll look at a short-term rental pricing metric that takes only a few seconds to find but can have a huge impact on your revenue.

One common mistake hosts make is setting their Airbnb minimum price too high, even with dynamic pricing in place. I’ll show you how to quickly check if your minimum price is too high and what to do if it is.

Plus, we’ll talk about how to adjust your pricing for weekends, holidays, and low-season periods to stay competitive. If your occupancy has been dropping or you're concerned about maximizing your Airbnb revenue, then this episode is for you. 

Episode Highlights:

• Check Minimum Price Frequency: Find out how often your dynamic pricing tool sets your property at the minimum price and use this data to adjust if needed.

• Create a Wide Pricing Range: Make sure there's a large gap between your Airbnb base price and your minimum price, allowing dynamic pricing tools to do their job effectively.

• Seasonal & Weekend Adjustments: Always set different Airbnb pricing strategies for weekdays, weekends, and holidays to capitalize on peak demand times.

• Cross-Check Competitor Pricing: Compare your property’s prices to nearby competitors on Airbnb to stay ahead in your local market.

• Lower Prices When Necessary: Don’t be afraid to lower prices during off-peak times to boost your Airbnb occupancy—especially if you have strong guest screening in place.

Thanks for watching! I hope this episode helps you fine-tune your Airbnb pricing strategy and boost your short-term rental revenue. Remember, pricing isn’t a set-and-forget task—it’s dynamic and changes with the market. Keep checking how often your price hits its minimum and adjust as needed to stay competitive.
