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 Melbourne: Australian Open; Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix; AFL Grand Final and Boxing Day Test; Melbourne Cup and Spring Racing. Guests I price for: Event travellers and interstate visitors on 2 to 5 night stays in the CBD, Southbank, Fitzroy and St Kilda. Where I start: A dense event calendar priced a year ahead, winter floors, and per-bedroom benchmarks against apartment supply.
On Airbnb, Booking.com and Stayz I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with every major event loaded a year ahead, levy-aware net targets and winter mid-term options, so your rates follow Melbourne's packed calendar rather than generic seasons, and each venue's crowd is priced by how close you are to it.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue forecast page; this page covers how I apply it in Melbourne.
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.
“Melbourne has one of the densest event calendars in the world: the Australian Open, Formula 1, AFL finals, the Melbourne Cup and the Boxing Day Test. Victoria also introduced a 7.5% short-stay levy in 2025, which changes net returns. I price events a year ahead and factor the levy into strategy.”

The Australian Open fills inner suburbs, so I price its two weeks as a block with minimums and lift rates for homes walking distance from Melbourne Park.
Late summer festivals and the Grand Prix keep demand strong, so I treat race weekend as a premium and support midweek with events and conferences.
Autumn football season and school holidays add weekend demand, so I price match weekends and keep weekdays steady for business and medical travellers.
Winter is quieter, so I lower floors gently, offer mid-term stays and pick out big concerts and football rounds that still deserve higher prices.
AFL finals and the Spring Racing Carnival dominate, so I lift Grand Final weekend and Cup week sharply and set minimums for interstate visitors.
Christmas and the Boxing Day Test bring families and cricket fans, so I price late December above early December and keep stays of three nights or more.
Load the full event calendar a year ahead and price each event.
Factor the 7.5% short-stay levy into pricing and net return.

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 Melbourne: Australian Open in January, Formula 1 in March, AFL finals in September, Spring Racing Carnival in November and the Christmas period. September to November: AFL finals and the Spring Racing Carnival dominate, so I lift Grand Final weekend and Cup week sharply and set minimums for interstate visitors. December: Christmas and the Boxing Day Test bring families and cricket fans, so I price late December above early December and keep stays of three nights or more. 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 Melbourne: June to August. June to August: Winter is quieter, so I lower floors gently, offer mid-term stays and pick out big concerts and football rounds that still deserve higher prices. April to May: Autumn football season and school holidays add weekend demand, so I price match weekends and keep weekdays steady for business and medical travellers.
Southbank and the CBD: Highest apartment supply, so I price by view, floor and building amenities, and lean on events and conferences to lift weekends. Fitzroy and Collingwood and St Kilda get their own treatment. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i choose the comp set from the part of Melbourne 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 far the property is from tram lines and major venues, since event travellers choose by walking time to the MCG, Rod Laver Arena or Flemington.
Event travellers and interstate visitors on 2 to 5 night stays in the CBD, Southbank, Fitzroy and St Kilda. Demand is driven by AFL Grand Final and Boxing Day Test and Melbourne Cup and Spring Racing. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i base length of stay and booking window assumptions on how these guests book.
Melbourne has one of the densest event calendars in the world: the Australian Open, Formula 1, AFL finals, the Melbourne Cup and the Boxing Day Test. 5% short-stay levy in 2025, which changes net returns. That is the view I bring to Airbnb revenue forecast in Melbourne.
Australian Open, Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix and AFL Grand Final and Boxing Day Test are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue forecast in Melbourne. January: The Australian Open fills inner suburbs, so I price its two weeks as a block with minimums and lift rates for homes walking distance from Melbourne Park.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Melbourne the first gains from Airbnb revenue forecast usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: offer mid-term stays in winter. 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 Melbourne I would start from December: Christmas and the Boxing Day Test bring families and cricket fans, so I price late December above early December and keep stays of three nights or more.
