Overview

What is Airbnb revenue forecast in Montpellier?

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 Montpellier: Mediterranean beaches at Palavas and La Grande-Motte; Festival de Radio France; Place de la Comedie and the Ecusson; Languedoc and Pic Saint-Loup wine. Guests I price for: students' families, festival-goers and beachgoers on 3 to 6 night stays in the Ecusson old town and the Antigone district. Where I start: a warm-climate summer beach and festival peak, student-city demand through term time, and French meuble de tourisme registration.

I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with you so festival weeks are loaded as events, term-time stays for families and academics have their own rules, and beach homes run weekly in summer. Booking.com, Vrbo and Abritel then read from that same plan.

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

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Montpellier

“Montpellier is a student city with beaches next door. Term time brings parents and academics, summer brings beachgoers to Palavas and La Grande-Motte, and the Festival de Radio France fills July. I price summer and festival weeks and use term-time demand to support the rest.”

How I price it

My Montpellier calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January and FebruaryLow

    Visiting academics, hospital-related stays and students' families keep some demand alive, so I allow longer stays and keep the floor steady rather than cutting deeply.

  2. March to JuneShoulder

    Spring weekends, the action sports festival and graduation season lift demand, and I firm up weekends while keeping weekday stays flexible for visiting families.

  3. July and AugustPeak

    Beaches, dance and music festivals all overlap, so I price July highest in the city and let beach-side homes run on weekly stays with firm rates.

  4. September to DecemberShoulder

    Term starts bring student families and conferences, so I price early September well and ease towards winter while protecting key weekends.

Where I price differently in Montpellier

The Écusson
The medieval old town sells to couples and festival visitors; I price it as the premium city option and protect July weekends first.
Antigone and Port Marianne
Modern districts with tram access suit families and longer stays; I price them for space and value with weekly offers.
Palavas and Carnon
Beach towns near the city run a sharp summer season; I use weekly stays in July and August and accept shorter stays in spring.

What I check first in Montpellier

  • Whether the property is close to a tram line, because guests without cars use the tram to reach the old town, the university and the stations.
  • If the listing explains how to reach the beaches, since many guests underestimate the distance from the city and need clear advice before choosing.
  • Whether the meublé de tourisme declaration and tourist tax are correct, because Montpellier and coastal communes are tightening checks on holiday lets.
