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 Montréal: Canadian Grand Prix; Montréal Jazz Festival and Just for Laughs; Osheaga; Conference and university travel. Guests I price for: US and European visitors on 3 to 4 night stays in the Plateau, Old Montréal and Mile End. Where I start: Grand Prix and festival premiums, CITQ-compliant positioning, and winter floors.
For hosts I set up your pricing tool with named events for the Grand Prix, Jazz Festival, Just for Laughs and Osheaga, plus monthly rates for winter. I make sure both language versions of the listing and every channel carry the same rules and fees.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue forecast page; this page covers how I apply it in Montréal.
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.
“Montréal is a festival city with strict rules. Short-term rentals need a CITQ registration, and the city has limited rentals of non-principal residences to a summer window in most boroughs. The Grand Prix, Jazz Festival and Osheaga are the peaks. I check the property's status first, then price the festival calendar.”

Igloofest and Montréal en Lumière give a few weekends some life, so I price those and otherwise rely on conferences, students and longer stays to keep winter occupied.
As the terraces open, weekend demand returns first; I lift Friday and Saturday rates while leaving midweek near winter levels until June.
Grand Prix weekend gets a three-night minimum and its own rate, and the Francofolies and early Jazz Festival dates follow straight after, so I do not let the month average out.
Jazz Festival, Just for Laughs and Osheaga each get named premiums, with ordinary summer nights held firm because American visitors keep arriving by car.
Conferences and the start of the academic year carry weekdays, so I keep business-friendly midweek rates and soften weekends only after Thanksgiving.
Christmas markets and New Year in Old Montréal lift the final weeks, so I price the holiday period as a separate short season with a minimum stay.
Confirm CITQ registration and whether the unit is a principal residence.
Price the Grand Prix and summer festivals as top bands.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

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 Montréal: June to September, with the Grand Prix in June, Jazz Festival and Osheaga, plus the Christmas season. July to August: Jazz Festival, Just for Laughs and Osheaga each get named premiums, with ordinary summer nights held firm because American visitors keep arriving by car. December: Christmas markets and New Year in Old Montréal lift the final weeks, so I price the holiday period as a separate short season with a minimum stay. 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 Montréal: January to March. September to November: Conferences and the start of the academic year carry weekdays, so I keep business-friendly midweek rates and soften weekends only after Thanksgiving. January to March: Igloofest and Montréal en Lumière give a few weekends some life, so I price those and otherwise rely on conferences, students and longer stays to keep winter occupied.
Plateau Mont-Royal: The classic walk-up neighbourhood that guests picture; I price it for couples and festival-goers and reward longer summer stays rather than chasing one-night bookings. Old Montréal and Quartier des Spectacles and downtown get their own treatment. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i choose the comp set from the part of Montréal 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. Which metro line and station the unit sits near, since festival guests heading for the Quartier des Spectacles or Parc Jean-Drapeau choose by transit access.
US and European visitors on 3 to 4 night stays in the Plateau, Old Montréal and Mile End. Demand is driven by Osheaga and Conference and university travel. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i base length of stay and booking window assumptions on how these guests book.
I check the property's status first, then price the festival calendar. Montréal is a festival city with strict rules. That is the view I bring to Airbnb revenue forecast in Montréal.
Canadian Grand Prix, Montréal Jazz Festival and Just for Laughs and Osheaga are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue forecast in Montréal. January to March: Igloofest and Montréal en Lumière give a few weekends some life, so I price those and otherwise rely on conferences, students and longer stays to keep winter occupied.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Montréal the first gains from Airbnb revenue forecast usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: offer mid-term stays for students and professionals. 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 Montréal I would start from July to August: Jazz Festival, Just for Laughs and Osheaga each get named premiums, with ordinary summer nights held firm because American visitors keep arriving by car.
