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 Crested Butte: Crested Butte Mountain Resort skiing; The Crested Butte Wildflower Festival; Summer mountain biking and hiking; Western Colorado University events in Gunnison. Guests I price for: Skiers and mountain-biking couples and families on 4 to 7 night stays in Mt. Crested Butte and the historic town, plus Gunnison university visitors. Where I start: Sharp winter and mid-summer twin peaks around deep spring and autumn off-seasons, week-long ski minimums, and wildflower-season premiums.
In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I build a ski curve and a summer curve separately, add Fat Tire Bike Week, the Wildflower Festival and holidays as custom events, set gap rules between ski stays, and switch to monthly settings in the mud seasons.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue forecast page; this page covers how I apply it in Crested Butte.
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.
“Crested Butte is remote, which means guests stay longer and seasons are sharp. Winter skiing and the July Wildflower Festival with mountain biking are the two peaks, and the mud seasons are very quiet. I set week-long ski stays and price wildflower season as a premium summer.”

Opening day and early-season snow are uncertain, so I price these weeks moderately with shorter minimums and wait for the snow report before lifting rates.
Holiday weeks and Presidents' Day carry the year in winter, and I lean on Epic Pass travel and spring-break weeks in March to keep rates firm deep into the season.
Lifts close and trails are muddy, so I switch to monthly stays for seasonal workers and remote workers, and plan maintenance in the quiet weeks.
Fat Tire Bike Week and early wildflowers bring riders back, so I set three-night weekend minimums and lift rates for homes close to the trailheads and Elk Avenue.
The Wildflower Festival, the Crested Butte Music Festival and summer family travel fill both towns, so I price the festival weeks highest and protect long summer bookings.
Aspen colour on Kebler Pass brings strong September weekends; after that, I let rates fall toward floors and focus on monthly stays until the lifts reopen.
Use 5 to 7-night minimums over ski holiday weeks.
Price the Wildflower Festival in July as a summer premium.
Price Mt. Crested Butte slope-side homes above town homes in winter.
Use 3-night summer minimums for biking guests.
Set low mud-season floors.

Busiest in Crested Butte: December to March for skiing and July to August for the Wildflower Festival and mountain biking. June: Fat Tire Bike Week and early wildflowers bring riders back, so I set three-night weekend minimums and lift rates for homes close to the trailheads and Elk Avenue. July to August: The Wildflower Festival, the Crested Butte Music Festival and summer family travel fill both towns, so I price the festival weeks highest and protect long summer bookings. 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 Crested Butte: The mud-season shoulders in April to May and October to November. September to early November: Aspen colour on Kebler Pass brings strong September weekends; after that, I let rates fall toward floors and focus on monthly stays until the lifts reopen. Late November to mid-December: Opening day and early-season snow are uncertain, so I price these weeks moderately with shorter minimums and wait for the snow report before lifting rates.
Town of Crested Butte and Elk Avenue: Historic and walkable with restaurants and shops; I price these homes for summer festivals and winter couples who use the free shuttle to the mountain. Mt. Crested Butte base area and Gunnison get their own treatment. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i choose the comp set from the part of Crested Butte 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. How the listing describes travel to the lifts, including shuttle stops and ski-in access, because winter guests decide between town and the mountain on that detail.
Skiers and mountain-biking couples and families on 4 to 7 night stays in Mt. Crested Butte and the historic town, plus Gunnison university visitors. Demand is driven by Summer mountain biking and hiking and Western Colorado University events in Gunnison. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i base length of stay and booking window assumptions on how these guests book.
Crested Butte is remote, which means guests stay longer and seasons are sharp. Winter skiing and the July Wildflower Festival with mountain biking are the two peaks, and the mud seasons are very quiet. That is the view I bring to Airbnb revenue forecast in Crested Butte.
Crested Butte Mountain Resort skiing, The Crested Butte Wildflower Festival and Summer mountain biking and hiking are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue forecast in Crested Butte.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.
