If you’re an Airbnb host or short-term rental manager, you know how challenging it can be to navigate the market, especially in uncertain times. But with PriceLabs’ new pacing reports, you no longer have to worry. These reports give property hosts and managers valuable insights and tools to stay ahead of the competition, optimize rates, and maximize revenue.

In 2023, traditional vacation rental markets are seeing mixed results. Some locations, like Lake Tahoe, are experiencing a decline in winter tourism compared to last year, while others are pacing ahead for this summer.

Illustration:  Lake Tahoe's winter tourism has declined compared to 2022 (-9%); however, a slight increase (+6%) is expected on July 14 and 15. On the other hand, Wisconsin Dells' bookings have remained stable in the winter and spring months and are pacing significantly ahead (+7.5%) of 2022 for this summer.

Cities are experiencing a resurgence in demand, but the pace of recovery varies. Nevertheless, most European urban centers surpass their 2022 levels, with Bordeaux being a notable example.

Illustration:  Although Bordeaux's market experiences a decline from January to March (-2.5%), it picks up momentum throughout the year (+3%). It sees a surge on September 9 (+28%), potentially due to a Rugby World Cup match.
