Get Paid For Your Pad | Airbnb Hosting | Vacation Rentals | STR Revenue Management Recap of the STR Industry in 2022
As COVID restrictions eased, 2021 proved to be a record year for most short-term rental markets. But did the trend continue in 2022?
Which markets performed better this year? Which markets got softer?
And what can Airbnb hosts expect in 2023?
On this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, guest cohost Anurag Verma, Cofounder of PriceLabs, joins me for a recap of the short-term rental industry in 2022, explaining how this year’s numbers compared to 2021 in various markets in the US and around the globe.
Anurag describes how to calculate RevPAR and why it’s an important metric for STR hosts to understand, and we discuss why Airbnb’s new total price display policy was a positive change overall.
Listen in for Anurag’s insight on the current pace of bookings for 2023 and learn how PriceLabs free market reports can help you analyze your portfolio and outperform the competition—no matter what’s happening in the market!
