An Airbnb pricing strategy is the set of rules that decide what each night is worth: base, minimum and maximum prices, seasons, events, minimum stays, gap nights, last-minute pricing, length-of-stay discounts and channel markups. The tool applies the rules; the strategy is what makes the tool worth having. Smart Pricing is not a strategy, because it optimizes for Airbnb's fill rate and knows nothing about your events or other channels.
What I plan around in Bend: Mount Bachelor ski season; Summer river, lake and trail season; Craft-beer tourism; Sunriver resort demand. Guests I price for: Pacific Northwest families and groups on 3 to 5 night stays. Where I start: Dual-season pricing, shoulder floors, and Bend's STR permit zoning.
I set up the Airbnb and Vrbo strategy with you so ski weekends, river summers and concert nights at the amphitheater each carry the right rate and minimum stay, and so Sunriver and in-town homes never borrow each other's comps.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Bend.
I set the base from a real comp set, a minimum that protects your margin and a maximum that stops you underselling a peak night, listing by listing.
I build seasonal profiles and event premiums from the local calendar, so rates move before demand does and not after.
Minimum stays, gap and orphan nights and length-of-stay discounts are set to fill the calendar without discounting the whole month.
I configure OTA markups so your net rate is the same on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, and leave time to ask anything about pricing.
“Bend has two seasons, summer outdoors and Mount Bachelor skiing, with quiet shoulders. Guests are mostly Pacific Northwest families and groups on short stays. The city limits short-term rentals through permits and spacing rules, so permitted homes should be priced as scarce inventory.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Mount Bachelor drives the weekends, so I keep Friday and Saturday firm, offer softer Sunday to Thursday rates and watch snowfall before releasing any late discounts.
Spring skiing overlaps with the first warm weekends; I allow two night stays, lower the midweek floor and price the Pole Pedal Paddle weekend a step above its neighbours.
I hold rates for river floating, the Cascade Lakes and outdoor concerts, and I keep a little flexibility in late August in case wildfire smoke slows short-notice demand.
Clear autumn weekends still sell to couples and beer travellers, so I keep weekend rates healthy and use midweek discounts rather than cutting the whole month.
Before the mountain opens, I go to one night minimums midweek, protect Thanksgiving as its own short peak and avoid dropping weekends below my set floor.
Once the lifts spin, Christmas to New Year becomes the top winter block, so I set longer minimums there and leave early December weekdays open for flexible ski trips.
Price June to September as the main season with 2 to 3-night stays.
Add Mount Bachelor holiday weeks as winter premiums.
Price Sunriver homes separately from Bend city homes.
Set April, May and November floors with short stays.
Confirm the permit before listing.

Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

Strong work!
Airbnb host
Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

For Airbnb pricing strategy, the first changes are base and minimum prices and the seasonal profile, since those drive most of the revenue in Bend. Confirm the permit before listing. Next: add Mount Bachelor holiday weeks as winter premiums.
Busiest in Bend: June to September and the Mount Bachelor ski season from December to March. June to September: I hold rates for river floating, the Cascade Lakes and outdoor concerts, and I keep a little flexibility in late August in case wildfire smoke slows short-notice demand. December: Once the lifts spin, Christmas to New Year becomes the top winter block, so I set longer minimums there and leave early December weekdays open for flexible ski trips. For Airbnb pricing strategy, the strategy I build sets seasonal profiles, event premiums and minimum-stay rules around these windows before they open for booking.
For Airbnb pricing strategy, for the quiet months I set the minimum price, last-minute and gap-night rules and length-of-stay discounts so nights fill without dropping below your floor. Quietest in Bend: April to May and November. November: Before the mountain opens, I go to one night minimums midweek, protect Thanksgiving as its own short peak and avoid dropping weekends below my set floor. April to May: Spring skiing overlaps with the first warm weekends; I allow two night stays, lower the midweek floor and price the Pole Pedal Paddle weekend a step above its neighbours.
Sunriver and Bend homes priced from the same comps and shoulder seasons priced like summer. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Bend, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb pricing strategy, i set base prices and comp sets per area, with a separate profile where two parts of Bend behave differently. Northwest Crossing and the westside: Closest to the Cascade Lakes Highway, so I lift winter weekends for skiers and summer weekends for lake and trail families. Old Bend and Drake Park and Sunriver get their own treatment.
Craft-beer tourism, Sunriver resort demand and Mount Bachelor ski season are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Bend. November: Before the mountain opens, I go to one night minimums midweek, protect Thanksgiving as its own short peak and avoid dropping weekends below my set floor.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Bend, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Bend sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. November: Before the mountain opens, I go to one night minimums midweek, protect Thanksgiving as its own short peak and avoid dropping weekends below my set floor.
How the home sits relative to Century Drive and the Old Mill District, since winter guests want the mountain road and summer guests want the river. For Airbnb pricing strategy, i check this before touching a single rate, because a base price built on the wrong assumption makes every rule worse.

Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing software is from $17.99 per listing per month. The scope of Airbnb pricing strategy is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Bend I would start from January to March: Mount Bachelor drives the weekends, so I keep Friday and Saturday firm, offer softer Sunday to Thursday rates and watch snowfall before releasing any late discounts. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Bend.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Bend the first gains from Airbnb pricing strategy usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: confirm the permit before listing. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
