Overview

What is Airbnb revenue forecast in Hobart?

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 Hobart: MONA and Dark Mofo; Sydney to Hobart yacht race; Summer hiking and food tourism; Cruise calls. Guests I price for: Domestic couples and families on 3 to 5 night stays. Where I start: Summer and festival premiums, and winter floors.

On Airbnb and Stayz I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with Tasmania's event dates, winter floors and summer premiums, and I make sure the listing explains heating, parking and touring routes that influence how long guests stay, because a Hobart base for day trips sells differently from a festival bed.

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

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Hobart

“Hobart has a summer peak and a very unusual winter one: Dark Mofo in June. The Sydney to Hobart yacht race brings the end of December alive, and MONA draws visitors all year. Tasmania also taxes short-stay accommodation in some cases, so costs need checking.”

How I price it

My Hobart calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. December to FebruaryPeak

    Summer is the core season, so I price the Taste of Tasmania period and yacht race week as premiums and keep three night minimums through January.

  2. March to MayShoulder

    Autumn colours and food trails keep couples coming, so I hold weekends firm and offer gentle midweek value for longer touring stays around the state.

  3. June (Dark Mofo)High

    The festival creates a winter peak, so I lift rates for its dates, especially near the waterfront, and set two night minimums on the busiest nights.

  4. July to AugustLow

    Cold weather and fewer flights slow demand, so I lower floors carefully, focus on cosy amenities in listings and welcome longer winter stays from mainland visitors.

  5. September to NovemberShoulder

    Spring brings more walkers and cruise ships, so I step rates up gradually and price cruise days as short-stay opportunities near the city.

Where I price differently in Hobart

Battery Point and Salamanca
Historic and central, close to the waterfront festivals; I price these homes highest during events and keep them above suburbs year round.
North Hobart
Restaurants and character homes make it popular with couples; I price for food lovers and keep weekend minimums light.
Sandy Bay
Near the university and casino, with more family homes; I mix leisure pricing with academic and visiting-family stays during term time.

What I check first in Hobart

  • Whether the property has the right Tasmanian approvals for short stays and how state taxes apply, because these affect net return before pricing starts.
  • How the listing presents heating and winter comfort, since Dark Mofo and winter guests choose warmth and location over views.
  • Whether the calendar treats MONA, Bruny Island and Cradle Mountain visitors differently, because touring guests book shorter stays than festival guests.
