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 Indianapolis: Indianapolis 500 and Brickyard events; Gen Con; Colts and Pacers seasons; Conventions and NCAA tournaments. Guests I price for: Event travellers on 2 to 4 night stays, convention attendees midweek. Where I start: Indy 500 and Gen Con premiums set a year ahead, and convention-calendar pricing.
For Indianapolis hosts I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with you: event dates loaded a year ahead, minimum stays for the big weeks, and weekday rates between events, with Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com kept consistent so event guests see one price.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue forecast page; this page covers how I apply it in Indianapolis.
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.
“Indianapolis has two dates every owner should know by heart: the Indy 500 in late May and Gen Con in August. Both fill the city and can be priced a year ahead. Conventions and NCAA events add more, and Colts games fill autumn weekends. Between events, weekdays depend on business travel.”

Outside conventions, demand is quiet; I lower weekend floors, keep weekday business rates steady and price big convention dates individually.
College basketball tournaments and spring conventions fill downtown; I price tournament weekends as premiums and keep two-night minimums near Lucas Oil Stadium and Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The whole month of May builds toward race day; I price qualifying weekends above ordinary May and race weekend highest, with long minimum stays near the Speedway.
Summer concerts and the Brickyard weekend lift some dates; I price those as premiums and keep other summer weekdays on business and leisure rates.
Gen Con fills downtown for several days; I price homes within a walk of the Convention Center highest and set minimum stays that cover all four convention days.
Colts games, the National FFA Convention, marching band championships and holiday events keep demand steady; I price each event weekend individually.
Price Indy 500 weekend as the top band, opened a year ahead with long stays.
Price Gen Con week as a second top band for homes near downtown.
Add NCAA tournaments and big conventions as premiums.
Add Colts home games for nearby homes.
Set weekday corporate rates between events.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
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.
Property manager
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 Indianapolis: Indy 500 in late May, Gen Con in August, Colts season and NCAA events. August: Gen Con fills downtown for several days; I price homes within a walk of the Convention Center highest and set minimum stays that cover all four convention days. September to December: Colts games, the National FFA Convention, marching band championships and holiday events keep demand steady; I price each event weekend individually. 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 Indianapolis: January to February. June to July: Summer concerts and the Brickyard weekend lift some dates; I price those as premiums and keep other summer weekdays on business and leisure rates. January to February: Outside conventions, demand is quiet; I lower weekend floors, keep weekday business rates steady and price big convention dates individually.
Downtown and Mass Ave: Walkable to the Convention Center and stadiums; I price event and convention dates highest and keep weekdays steady. Speedway and Fountain Square and Fletcher Place get their own treatment. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i choose the comp set from the part of Indianapolis 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 house rules, beds and guest counts suit gaming groups and race crews, because Gen Con and 500 guests often travel as groups that need more sleeping space than a typical listing shows.
Event travellers on 2 to 4 night stays, convention attendees midweek. Demand is driven by Colts and Pacers seasons and Conventions and NCAA tournaments. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i base length of stay and booking window assumptions on how these guests book.
Between events, weekdays depend on business travel. Indianapolis has two dates every owner should know by heart: the Indy 500 in late May and Gen Con in August. That is the view I bring to Airbnb revenue forecast in Indianapolis.
Indianapolis 500 and Brickyard events, Gen Con and Colts and Pacers seasons are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue forecast in Indianapolis. January to February: Outside conventions, demand is quiet; I lower weekend floors, keep weekday business rates steady and price big convention dates individually.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Indianapolis the first gains from Airbnb revenue forecast usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: add Colts home games for nearby homes. 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. The scope of Airbnb revenue forecast is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Indianapolis I would start from September to December: Colts games, the National FFA Convention, marching band championships and holiday events keep demand steady; I price each event weekend individually.
