Overview

What is Airbnb revenue forecast in Montevideo?

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 Montevideo: Argentine and Brazilian summer travel; Punta del Este New Year season; Carnival; José Ignacio luxury demand. Guests I price for: Argentine and Brazilian families on weekly and fortnightly summer stays. Where I start: Fortnightly summer pricing in Punta, New Year premiums, and long off-season floors.

I set up your pricing tool with fortnightly summer pricing, a New Year premium, fixed changeover days and long off-season monthly rates, keeping Airbnb and Booking.com aligned on currency, taxes and cancellation terms, so Argentine and Brazilian families see the same total on both.

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

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Montevideo

“Punta del Este is one of the most seasonal markets in the Americas. Argentine and Brazilian families rent for a week or two from late December to February, New Year is the top week and the rest of the year is very quiet. Montevideo is steadier, with Carnival.”

How I price it

My Montevideo calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. Late December to mid-JanuaryPeak

    New Year week and the first half of January carry the highest rates in Punta, with weekly or fortnightly minimums and fixed changeover days.

  2. Mid-January to FebruaryHigh

    Argentine and Brazilian families keep homes full, so I price by fortnight and avoid splitting weeks, while Montevideo's long Carnival keeps city weekends busy.

  3. March to April (Semana de Turismo)Shoulder

    Uruguay's Easter week brings domestic travellers and some Argentines back to the coast, so I price that week as its own short season and keep the rest of autumn modest.

  4. May to SeptemberLow

    Punta goes quiet, so I set long-stay and monthly rates for remote workers and residents, while Montevideo keeps steady business demand in Pocitos and Ciudad Vieja.

  5. October to mid-DecemberShoulder

    Long weekends and early spring visitors return, so I open summer rates early and protect New Year and January weeks before short bookings fill them.

Where I price differently in Montevideo

La Barra and Manantiales
Trendy beach villages east of Punta; I price for young families and groups who want nightlife and surf, with firm New Year and January minimums.
La Península, Punta del Este
The old town with the port and restaurants; I price apartments by sea view and walkability, competing with hotels for shorter summer stays.
Pocitos, Montevideo
Residential beachfront district with steady business and leisure demand; I price weekdays for business visitors and weekends for Carnival and summer visitors.

What I check first in Montevideo

  • Whether the summer rate is shown in US dollars on every channel, because Argentine and Brazilian guests compare totals across currencies and inconsistent pricing creates confusion.
  • How exchange-rate swings in Argentina affect the booking pace, since Argentine demand can move quickly when their currency changes and the calendar needs to react.
  • Whether January and February are priced by fortnight with fixed changeover days, because splitting those weeks into short stays leaves gaps that are hard to fill.
