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 Carcassonne: the medieval Cite de Carcassonne; the Bastille Day Embrasement de la Cite; the Cathar castles of Montsegur and Peyrepertuse; Festival de Carcassonne. Guests I price for: heritage travellers and touring families on 2 to 4 night stays in the walled Cite and the Bastide Saint-Louis lower town. Where I start: a concentrated summer peak around the Cite and its 14 July fireworks, dispersed Cathar-castle touring, and French meuble de tourisme registration.
I configure PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with you so the 14 July fireworks and the festival concerts are loaded as events, touring two-night stays are allowed in the shoulders, and Booking.com, Vrbo and Abritel all reflect the same rules and taxes.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue forecast page; this page covers how I apply it in Carcassonne.
I project occupancy, ADR and revenue for each month in conservative, realistic and optimistic cases, with annual totals, RevPAR and seasonality.
I choose comparable listings by hand and remove inactive ones and outliers, so the benchmark is real and not a postcode average.
For a purchase or an arbitrage lease I set revenue against rent or mortgage and costs, and show the occupancy you need to break even.
A clear report with my reasoning for each assumption, suitable for partners, investors or lenders.
“Carcassonne's summer is concentrated around the medieval Cité, with the Bastille Day fireworks over the walls as the single brightest night. The Festival de Carcassonne fills July, and touring visitors explore the Cathar castles. Winter is quiet. Many guests are touring the south of France and stay only two nights, so a well-located home near the Cité with parking can charge more than a larger home further away.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Much of the Cité is quiet and some restaurants close, so I keep rates low but steady and target weekend touring couples rather than chasing occupancy with steep cuts.
Easter and the May bank holidays bring French touring traffic, and I raise weekend rates for those dates while leaving midweek open to walkers heading for the Cathar castles.
Concert nights at the open-air theatre inside the walls and the 14 July fireworks set the ceiling, and I review the festival line-up before releasing any summer weekend at an ordinary rate.
Cooler days suit castle touring and Corbières wine visits, so I keep a two-night minimum and price close to early summer rather than falling straight to winter levels.
I hold a firm floor and add a little for Christmas weekends, since the illuminated Cité draws regional visitors who still expect fair value.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

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.

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!

Busiest in Carcassonne: July and August for the fortified Cite, the Festival de Carcassonne and the Bastille Day fireworks. July and August: Concert nights at the open-air theatre inside the walls and the 14 July fireworks set the ceiling, and I review the festival line-up before releasing any summer weekend at an ordinary rate. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i model these windows month by month, so peak months carry the revenue they realistically can and not an annual average.
For Airbnb revenue forecast, i project the quiet months separately, which is what shows whether a purchase or an arbitrage lease survives them. Quietest in Carcassonne: November to February. November and December: I hold a firm floor and add a little for Christmas weekends, since the illuminated Cité draws regional visitors who still expect fair value. January to March: Much of the Cité is quiet and some restaurants close, so I keep rates low but steady and target weekend touring couples rather than chasing occupancy with steep cuts.
La Cité and La Trivalle: Homes at the foot of the ramparts sell the medieval setting; I price them against small hotels inside the walls and protect July evenings first. Bastide Saint-Louis and Corbières and Minervois villages get their own treatment. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i choose the comp set from the part of Carcassonne your property is actually in, and remove inactive listings and outliers.
For Airbnb revenue forecast, i check this before projecting anything, because a projection built on a wrong assumption only looks precise. Whether the meublé de tourisme declaration is filed with the mairie and the number shows on every channel, since French platforms are tightening checks on unregistered listings.
Heritage travellers and touring families on 2 to 4 night stays in the walled Cite and the Bastide Saint-Louis lower town. Demand is driven by the Cathar castles of Montsegur and Peyrepertuse and Festival de Carcassonne. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i base length of stay and booking window assumptions on how these guests book.
Many guests are touring the south of France and stay only two nights, so a well-located home near the Cité with parking can charge more than a larger home further away. Carcassonne's summer is concentrated around the medieval Cité, with the Bastille Day fireworks over the walls as the single brightest night. That is the view I bring to Airbnb revenue forecast in Carcassonne.
the medieval Cite de Carcassonne, the Bastille Day Embrasement de la Cite and the Cathar castles of Montsegur and Peyrepertuse are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue forecast in Carcassonne. September and October: Cooler days suit castle touring and Corbières wine visits, so I keep a two-night minimum and price close to early summer rather than falling straight to winter levels.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Carcassonne the first gains from Airbnb revenue forecast usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: use 2-night stays for touring visitors. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
The Airbnb revenue forecast is quoted per property after a short chat, with the scope and price confirmed before work starts. Comparing several candidate properties is scoped together.

To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Carcassonne.
