Overview

What is Airbnb revenue forecast in Killington?

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 Killington: Skiing and riding the Beast of the East; The Killington Cup FIS World Cup; Central Vermont foliage; Summer mountain biking at Killington Bike Park. Guests I price for: Boston, New York and Hartford skiers on weekend and week-long stays in Killington, Pittsfield and Rutland. Where I start: Ski-season and holiday-week premiums with minimum stays, World Cup surge pricing, and shoulder-season rates that bridge two deep mud-season lulls.

In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I set the Killington Cup, holiday weeks and February vacation as events, add weekend minimums, and build a separate summer curve for bike park guests. Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com then all follow the same seasonal plan.

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

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Killington

“Killington has one of the longest ski seasons in the East, and the Killington Cup World Cup races over Thanksgiving weekend open it with a spike. Holiday weeks and weekends drive winter, October foliage adds autumn demand and summer bike park visitors help. Mud season is very quiet.”

How I price it

My Killington calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January to MarchPeak

    Weekends and the February and March school-vacation weeks carry the season. I hold two-night weekend minimums, lift rates after big storms, and use midweek discounts for ski-week families from New Jersey and Connecticut.

  2. April to MayLow

    Spring skiing can run late on the upper mountain, so I keep weekend rates up while the lifts spin, then drop to mud-season floors the moment the trails close and the roads soften.

  3. June to SeptemberShoulder

    The bike park, golf and hiking on the Appalachian Trail bring a smaller summer crowd. I allow single nights midweek and price downhill bike weekends a step above ordinary summer dates.

  4. OctoberHigh

    Foliage weekends sell to leaf-peepers touring Route 100 and Woodstock. I set two-night Saturdays and price Columbus Day weekend as the autumn high point.

  5. NovemberShoulder

    Early snowmaking opens a few trails before Thanksgiving, when the Killington Cup weekend becomes the month's spike. I keep the other November nights modest and flexible.

  6. DecemberPeak

    Christmas to New Year is the top week of the year. I open it early with a five or seven night minimum and keep weekends before the holidays firm for early-season skiers.

Where I price differently in Killington

Killington Road
The access road with the bars, restaurants and shuttle stops. I price these homes highest in winter and use weekend minimums, because groups want to walk to apres-ski.
Pittsfield and Route 100
Quieter valley homes with more space and lower rates. I price them for families and longer ski weeks, and lean on foliage demand in October.
Rutland
A small city twenty minutes away, cheaper for skiers and steady with business travel. I price it as a value alternative and keep midweek rates competitive all year.

What I check first in Killington

  • How long the drive is to the K-1 base lodge or the Skyeship gondola, and whether the listing says so, because skiers compare access minutes along Killington Road and Route 4 before they compare price.
  • Whether the home is registered with the town and how its occupancy limit compares with the bed count advertised, since large ski groups book by headcount.
  • Whether boot dryers, a mudroom, a hot tub and winter parking are photographed and listed, because those details decide ski-group bookings more than interior style.
