This Report Says You're Underpriced Right Now
AirDNA tracks pricing, occupancy, and demand across millions of short-term rental listings worldwide. Twice a year they publish the numbers operators like you build pricing decisions around. Their 2026 Midyear Report is worth your time, and it changes what you should be charging this summer.
If you're setting your nightly rate this month without these numbers, you're guessing.
Occupancy is forecast at 57.4% for 2026. That's above the pre-pandemic average.
Here's why. Fewer new listings entered the market this year because higher mortgage rates delayed a wave of investors who would've otherwise flooded it. Fewer new units means less competition for the guests who are already booking.
Existing operators are getting real pricing power right now. If you haven't tested a higher rate this month, this is the data that says you should.
The full report also breaks down a real shift in how guests are booking, a hard split in international demand by country, and which markets are pulling ahead this year. None of that's in this email.
