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 Louisville: Kentucky Derby; Bourbon Trail distillery tourism; Thunder Over Louisville and Forecastle; Louisville Cardinals and conventions. Guests I price for: Derby groups on 3 to 5 night stays, bourbon tourists on weekends. Where I start: Derby-week premiums set a year ahead with minimum stays, bourbon-weekend rates, and winter floors.
In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I set Oaks and Derby as one protected block, then load Thunder, Bourbon and Beyond, Louder Than Life, the Kentucky Bourbon Festival and the art show as separate events. Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com then show the same minimum stays, deposits and house rules for every one of them.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue forecast page; this page covers how I apply it in Louisville.
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.
“Louisville has one of the most valuable single weekends in American hospitality: the Kentucky Derby. Homes can earn a large share of their year over Derby week, and guests book well ahead. The Bourbon Trail adds steady weekend demand from spring to autumn. I price Derby first, then build a solid bourbon-season base.”

Winter is quiet outside basketball weekends and conventions. I lower weekend rates, allow short stays and offer midweek deals for business visitors.
Spring bourbon trips and Thunder Over Louisville build demand. I price Thunder weekend higher and start protecting Derby week dates.
Kentucky Oaks and Derby week are the top nights of the year. I use long minimum stays, clear house rules and early pricing for the full Derby period.
Distillery tours run all summer, but heat and humidity cap demand. I keep Saturdays steady, allow single weeknights and price Fourth of July along the Ohio River waterfront as a small event.
Bourbon & Beyond, Louder Than Life, the Kentucky Bourbon Festival and the St. James Court Art Show keep weekends busy. I price each event weekend separately.
Cardinals football and basketball, shows at the Kentucky Exposition Center and holiday family visits create pockets of demand. I keep rates moderate and lift only the specific game and holiday weekends.
Price Derby week as the top band, opened a year ahead with 3 to 5-night minimums.
Add Thunder Over Louisville as a spring premium.
Price Bourbon Trail weekends from April to October with 2-night minimums.
Price homes by distance to Churchill Downs for Derby.
Lower January and February floors.

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 Louisville: Kentucky Derby week in early May, Bourbon Trail season from April to October, and Thunder Over Louisville. May: Kentucky Oaks and Derby week are the top nights of the year. I use long minimum stays, clear house rules and early pricing for the full Derby period. September to October: Bourbon & Beyond, Louder Than Life, the Kentucky Bourbon Festival and the St. James Court Art Show keep weekends busy. I price each event weekend separately. 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 Louisville: January to February. November to December: Cardinals football and basketball, shows at the Kentucky Exposition Center and holiday family visits create pockets of demand. I keep rates moderate and lift only the specific game and holiday weekends. January to February: Winter is quiet outside basketball weekends and conventions. I lower weekend rates, allow short stays and offer midweek deals for business visitors.
The Highlands and Bardstown Road: Restaurants, bars and walkable streets attract bourbon visitors and Derby groups. I price weekends strongly and use Derby week as the top band. NuLu and Butchertown and Old Louisville get their own treatment. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i choose the comp set from the part of Louisville 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 close the home is to Churchill Downs, downtown, NuLu or Bardstown Road, since Derby guests and bourbon visitors choose by easy access.
Derby groups on 3 to 5 night stays, bourbon tourists on weekends. Demand is driven by Thunder Over Louisville and Forecastle and Louisville Cardinals and conventions. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i base length of stay and booking window assumptions on how these guests book.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Louisville the first gains from Airbnb revenue forecast usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price homes by distance to Churchill Downs for Derby. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
