Overview

What is Airbnb revenue forecast in Birmingham, UK?

An Airbnb revenue forecast is a month-by-month projection of occupancy, ADR and revenue for one property, set beside comparable listings. Buyers use it to test a purchase, operators use it to check an arbitrage lease, and hosts use it to set targets for a live listing.

What I plan around in Birmingham, UK: NEC and ICC exhibitions; Frankfurt Christmas Market; Aston Villa and Birmingham City fixtures; Utilita Arena concerts. Guests I price for: Exhibition and business travellers midweek, concert and football fans at weekends. Where I start: Exhibition-week premiums, corporate midweek rates, and weekend event pricing.

I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse for Birmingham hosts with NEC and ICC shows, Edgbaston matches, arena concerts and the Christmas Market as events. Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo then share the same rates, with exhibitor-friendly minimum stays around the big shows.

The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue forecast page; this page covers how I apply it in Birmingham, UK.

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Birmingham, UK

“Birmingham is exhibitions and events. NEC and ICC shows fill midweeks, and concerts, the Frankfurt Christmas Market and football fill weekends. Many guests come for one exhibition, so I price from the NEC calendar. The NEC is outside the city centre, so homes near the airport and the exhibition centre behave differently from city-centre flats. I price the two locations on separate comps.”

How I price it

My Birmingham, UK calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January and FebruaryLow

    The Spring Fair at the NEC in February is the main exception. I price that week strongly near the NEC and keep city-centre floors realistic for the rest of winter.

  2. March to MayShoulder

    Crufts in March and the spring exhibition calendar create sharp peaks near the NEC. I price each show by expected size and keep city flats on weekday business rates.

  3. June to AugustHigh

    Test matches and concerts at Edgbaston, Villa Park and the arenas fill weekends. I price event weekends individually and accept shorter stays outside them.

  4. September to OctoberHigh

    Party conferences in some years, the Horse of the Year Show and autumn exhibitions bring strong midweek demand. I price conference weeks as premiums near the ICC and the NEC.

  5. November and DecemberShoulder

    The Frankfurt Christmas Market and Christmas parties lift weekends in the city centre. I raise those weekends and keep weekdays priced for business travellers.

Where I price differently in Birmingham, UK

Jewellery Quarter
Converted warehouses near the centre suit couples and business travellers; I price weekends for leisure and weekdays for corporate guests.
Digbeth
Creative studios, nightlife and the new HS2 area attract younger guests; I price event nights strongly and keep weekdays competitive.
Solihull and the NEC area
Close to the NEC, Resorts World Arena and the airport, so I price around the exhibition calendar and set weekday rates for exhibitors.

What I check first in Birmingham, UK

  • Whether the property is priced for the NEC or for the city centre, because those two locations have different demand and should use different comps and event calendars.
  • How the listing describes parking and the journey to Birmingham International station, the NEC and the airport, since exhibitors carry equipment and judge homes by access.
  • Whether the calendar includes the next year's NEC exhibitions with their build-up days, because exhibitors and contractors arrive before the public opening and stay longer.
