INSIGHT

Granular Market Data Reveals Patterns

  • PriceLabs provides far more granular market data than entry-level tools, revealing cleaning fees, occupancy, and guest capacity per listing.
  • Use it to establish patterns across many listings rather than trusting broad averages for decisions.
ADVICE

Carve Areas And Test Specific Filters

  • Carve out the exact neighborhood with the draw tool to compare truly like-for-like comps.
  • Filter by specifics like guest capacity to test whether small tweaks actually increase revenue.
ADVICE

Compare Asset Types By Revenue vs Price

  • Use PriceLabs to compare purchase price ranges versus revenue for different bedroom counts before choosing asset type.
  • Let revenue-per-price and risk inform whether you buy small units or large, expensive properties.
