Overview

What is Airbnb revenue forecast in Maui?

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 Maui: Winter escape travel from the mainland and Canada; Humpback whale season; Road to Hana and Haleakala; Wedding and honeymoon travel. Guests I price for: Couples and families on 5 to 10 night condo and villa stays. Where I start: Weekly discount ladders, holiday premiums, and compliance with Maui County's short-term rental zoning.

For Maui hosts I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with weekly discount ladders, holiday and whale-season bands, fixed changeover days over Christmas, and a monthly profile ready for units that must shift away from short stays, all calibrated against comparable units in the same resort.

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

Included

What the forecast contains in Maui

Twelve months, three scenarios

I project occupancy, ADR and revenue for each month in conservative, realistic and optimistic cases, with annual totals, RevPAR and seasonality.

  • Monthly occupancy, ADR and revenue
  • Three scenarios
  • RevPAR and annual totals
  • Recommended nightly price bands

A hand-picked comp set

I choose comparable listings by hand and remove inactive ones and outliers, so the benchmark is real and not a postcode average.

  • Comparable listings chosen by hand
  • Inactive listings removed
  • Bedrooms and amenities matched
  • Neighbourhood-level benchmark

Costs, break-even and yield

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.

  • Purchase and yield testing
  • Several properties compared

A report you can show others

A clear report with my reasoning for each assumption, suitable for partners, investors or lenders.

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Maui

“Maui is going through a structural change. The county is phasing out short-term rentals in many apartment-zoned buildings over the next few years, and West Maui is still recovering from the 2023 fires. So the first question for any Maui owner is how long the property can keep operating as a vacation rental, and what the plan is after that. Pricing for the years that remain has to reflect that horizon.”

How I price it

My Maui calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January to MarchPeak

    Whale season and the Kapalua golf tournament in January keep demand high, so I hold weekly rates firm and only shorten minimum stays to close gaps of three or four nights.

  2. April and MayShoulder

    After Easter the island quietens, so I lower the floor, offer seven-night value pricing to West Coast and Canadian travellers, and keep honeymoon weekends priced with care.

  3. June to AugustHigh

    School holidays bring families who book well ahead, so I price larger condos and villas firmly from early spring and let couples' units carry midweek offers instead.

  4. September to mid-DecemberLow

    This is the softest stretch, so I build weekly and monthly ladders, price Thanksgiving week on its own, and avoid deep nightly cuts that would reset expectations for winter.

  5. Mid-December to New YearPeak

    Holiday weeks are the most valuable nights of the year; I open them a year ahead with seven-night minimums and fixed changeover days to stop broken weeks.

Where I price differently in Maui

Kihei
Many condo buildings and a value-minded crowd; I price by beach access and ocean view, and plan carefully where buildings face the county's phase-out.
Wailea and Makena
Luxury resort villas and condos that compete with the big hotels; I price against resort rates, hold holiday weeks long, and avoid discounting the brand image.
Napili and Kapalua
Quiet West Maui bays near the golf courses; I price for couples and repeat guests and watch the area's recovery closely before assuming demand.

What I check first in Maui

  • Which zoning category the building sits in and what the county's current timeline means for it, because that decides whether we price for years of nightly stays or plan a transition.
  • How the unit compares with others in the same complex on view, floor, air conditioning and renovation, since Maui guests choose a resort first and a unit second.
  • Whether the general excise and transient accommodations taxes are collected and displayed correctly, because Hawaii taxes on short stays add up and inconsistent totals cost bookings.
Pricing playbook

5 pricing moves, and 3 mistakes, in Maui

  1. 1

    Confirm whether the building is affected by the county's phase-out and plan pricing around the remaining operating period.

  2. 2

    Use weekly discount ladders, since mainland and Canadian guests stay 5 to 10 nights.

  3. 3

    Price whale season from January to March and the holiday period as the top bands.

  4. 4

    Price by view and building against units in the same resort or complex.

  5. 5

    Prepare a long-term or mid-term rate card for units that will lose short-stay eligibility.

Mistakes I fix in Maui

  • Pricing as if nothing about Maui's rules is changing.
  • Nightly rates with no weekly incentive in a long-stay market.
  • West Maui demand assumed to match pre-2023 levels.
