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 Portland, Maine: Acadia National Park; Lobster and food tourism; Cruise calls in Bar Harbor and Portland; Autumn foliage. Guests I price for: Northeastern families and couples on 3 to 7 night stays. Where I start: Short summer peak priced firmly, foliage-week premiums, and long off-season floors.
For hosts here I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with summer minimum stays, foliage premiums, adjustments for heavy cruise days and winter floors. Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com stay aligned, so families comparing the same cottage on two sites see one consistent total.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue forecast page; this page covers how I apply it in Portland, Maine.
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.
“Coastal Maine has a short, intense summer and a strong foliage season, then a long quiet stretch. Acadia National Park drives Bar Harbor, while Portland mixes food tourism with cruise calls. Because the season is short, every July, August and October week matters. I price those weeks firmly and use the off-season for longer, cheaper stays.”

Portland's restaurant scene keeps city weekends alive while much of Mount Desert Island closes; I sell monthly stays and modest weekend rates rather than discounting every night.
The Park Loop Road and island businesses reopen; I raise weekends first and keep shorter stays until school holidays start in late June.
Acadia visitors, the Maine Lobster Festival in Rockland and Windjammer Days fill the coast; I price each week from its own pace and never release peak dates cheaply.
Foliage and couples' trips keep demand strong after Labor Day; I price October weekends highest and lower midweek nights once the colour has passed.

Busiest in Portland, Maine: July to August and October foliage, with Acadia National Park visitation peaking in summer. July to August: Acadia visitors, the Maine Lobster Festival in Rockland and Windjammer Days fill the coast; I price each week from its own pace and never release peak dates cheaply.

May to June: The Park Loop Road and island businesses reopen; I raise weekends first and keep shorter stays until school holidays start in late June. November to April: Portland's restaurant scene keeps city weekends alive while much of Mount Desert Island closes; I sell monthly stays and modest weekend rates rather than discounting every night.
Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island: The gateway to Acadia, with Southwest Harbor as the quieter side; I price summer weeks firmly and lean on autumn colour for strong October weekends. Portland Old Port and Munjoy Hill and Camden and Kennebunkport get their own treatment. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i choose the comp set from the part of Portland, Maine your property is actually in, and remove inactive listings and outliers.

How the listing explains Acadia logistics, including the Cadillac Summit Road vehicle reservation and parking, because guests plan whole days around those entry times.
Northeastern families and couples on 3 to 7 night stays. Demand is driven by Cruise calls in Bar Harbor and Portland and Autumn foliage. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i base length of stay and booking window assumptions on how these guests book.
