Episode notes
Pivoting Airbnb Strategy
- Ashley Kehr shifted from generic Airbnb arbitrage units to creating unique experiences like cabins with outdoor amenities.
- This strategy thrives in an oversaturated market by focusing on hospitality and differentiation.
Airbnb Market Supply Dynamics
- Increasing Airbnb supply in markets like Joshua Tree caused revenue dips but now new listings are stabilizing.
- Slower supply growth combined with steady demand suggests a market rebound in 12 to 18 months.
