Overview

What is Airbnb revenue forecast in Boise?

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 Boise: Sun Valley ski season; Boise State football and business travel; Summer river and trail season; Relocation and mid-term demand. Guests I price for: Ski groups on 4 to 7 night stays, corporate and relocation guests in Boise. Where I start: Dual-season pricing, mid-term relocation rate cards, and inter-season floors.

I set up your Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com strategy with you so ski holidays, summer concerts, Boise weekends and monthly relocation stays each have their own rules, and so a Ketchum condo and a Boise house are never priced from the same comps.

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

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Boise

“Boise and Sun Valley are two very different markets under one heading. Sun Valley is a winter ski resort with a quieter summer, while Boise is a growing city with relocations, business travel and Boise State football. I build a ski strategy for one and a mid-term and event strategy for the other.”

How I price it

My Boise calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January to MarchHigh

    Sun Valley is in full ski season, so I hold weekend and Presidents' Day rates firm there, while Boise homes run on business weekdays and monthly stays.

  2. April to MayLow

    Ketchum goes quiet between seasons, so I lower floors and open short stays; in Boise I lean on graduations and relocation stays to keep the calendar moving.

  3. June to AugustPeak

    Boise sells river floats and summer weekends, and Sun Valley sells concerts, hiking and biking, so I price both firmly and give July and August their own bands.

  4. September to NovemberShoulder

    Football Saturdays help Boise and autumn colour helps the Wood River Valley, so I keep those weekends strong and ease weekday rates elsewhere.

  5. DecemberPeak

    The Christmas to New Year stretch in Sun Valley carries the highest rates of the year, so I open it early with long minimums and price it home by home.

Where I price differently in Boise

Boise North End and downtown
Walkable, close to the river and the foothills trails; I price for business weekdays, summer weekends and monthly relocation stays.
Ketchum
The ski town at the base of Bald Mountain; I price it for winter holiday weeks and summer events, with lift distance driving the premium.
Elkhorn and Sun Valley village
Resort condos close to the lodge and the summer pavilion; I price them for families on ski weeks and concert guests in the warmer months.

What I check first in Boise

  • Whether a Ketchum or Sun Valley home has the city or county short-term rental permit it needs, which I confirm before any ski-season pricing.
  • How far the home is from the River Run or Warm Springs lifts, because in Ketchum a short walk to the snow is worth more than an extra bedroom.
  • Whether a Boise home offers clear monthly terms, a work space and parking, since relocation and corporate guests compare those before the rate.
