Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides Airbnb revenue management for Airbnb hosts, vacation rental owners and property managers in New York City, United States, one to one, remotely and in Eastern Time (UTC-5). In New York City, I price Late August to mid-December and Mid-December to New Year as the peak and January to early March as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar. Airbnb revenue management is priced monthly by listing count, from $225 a month for one listing and $325 for two, with Plus at 35 percent more and Pro at 75 percent more than Core. It runs month to month and is never a percentage of revenue.

Airbnb revenue management is the ongoing work of pricing every night, setting stay rules, managing channels and reporting results. It goes further than a pricing tool: I review the strategy as demand, events and your own pace change, and I explain every change I make.
What I plan around in New York City: UN General Assembly and Fashion Week in September; Marathon weekend in November; Holiday season and NYE; Year-round corporate travel in Manhattan. Guests I price for: Short stays of 2 to 4 nights, international leisure travellers and corporate guests, with strong weekend compression in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Where I start: Short-stay pricing under Local Law 18, 30-night minimum strategies where required, and aggressive last-minute rules for a market that books late.
On Airbnb in New York I configure two very different setups: hosted rooms priced per night for two guests with tight late-booking rules, or monthly listings priced against furnished rentals with lead-time logic. I set this inside PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with you so the rules stay compliant.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in New York City.
I review demand and pace and make two or three price changes a week where the market calls for them, inside the tool you already use.
On Plus I also optimize listings, plan promotions, track competitor rates per listing and manage Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo together.
A monthly summary on every plan and a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, so you see what changed and why.
On Pro I forecast demand, keep a 12-month pricing calendar, meet you monthly and review quarterly, and I set launch prices for new listings.
“New York is the market where I spend more time on compliance than on rates. Since Local Law 18, a whole apartment rented for under 30 nights is simply not a product, so the real decision is which lane you are in: a registered, host-present room with two guests, or a furnished 30-night rental. Pricing each lane well is very different, and most listings I review are still priced as if 2022 never ended.”

For 30-night units I accept a slightly softer monthly rate to land a February or March move-in, because a vacant month in winter rarely gets recovered later in the year.
Hosted rooms get firm weekend rates through spring, with Tribeca week and graduation weekends at Columbia and NYU loaded as dated premiums instead of a blanket seasonal lift.
Summer interns and visiting academics drive the monthly lane, so I publish June and July start dates early and keep hosted-room weekdays priced against hotels running their summer deals.
The US Open, UN week, Marathon weekend and the Thanksgiving parade each get their own row in the calendar, and I let pickup, not the date alone, decide how high each goes.
I hold hosted rooms at full rate right up to Christmas week and refuse to open New Year's Eve to single nights, since late bookers still arrive for that stretch.
Decide the lane first. If the unit cannot be registered, move it to 30-night minimums and price per month, not per night, with a separate rate card for 1, 2 and 3-month stays.
For registered hosted rooms, price for two guests only and remove extra-guest fees that imply a third person, because the listing will be flagged.
Build September and the November to New Year run as separate seasons. UN week, Marathon weekend and the holiday stretch each deserve their own premium rather than one autumn uplift.
Keep last-minute discounts shallow. New York books late anyway, so a 30 percent discount at 7 days out mostly gives money to guests who would have booked regardless.
Treat January to early March as an occupancy season: lower floors, 2-night minimums on weekends and longer-stay discounts to fill the quiet midweek.
One listing and no time
You want pricing handled properly without checking the calendar every day.
A growing portfolio
You manage several listings and need one consistent, scalable method.
A property manager
You want owner-ready reporting and revenue leadership without an in-house hire.
Smart Pricing is not enough
Airbnb's own tool optimizes for Airbnb's fill rate, not your revenue across channels.
Send the listing links, your pricing tool and your goals. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your listing count.
I build the base, minimum and maximum prices, seasons, events and stay rules for your market before the first month starts.
I watch demand and pace and move prices and restrictions as the market does.
Step 4
You get the monthly report, and on Pro we meet, and I adjust the plan from the results.
Priced monthly by listing count on a graduated curve, so there are no tier cliffs. Plus adds 35 percent and Pro 75 percent to the Core price. Never a percentage of revenue.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $225/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus listing and channel optimization | Core +35% |
| Pro | Full revenue management with a monthly strategy call | Core +75% |
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 New York City: September to mid-December and late April to June, with a sharp spike around Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve. Mid-December to New Year: I hold hosted rooms at full rate right up to Christmas week and refuse to open New Year's Eve to single nights, since late bookers still arrive for that stretch. Late March to June: Hosted rooms get firm weekend rates through spring, with Tribeca week and graduation weekends at Columbia and NYU loaded as dated premiums instead of a blanket seasonal lift. For Airbnb revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For Airbnb revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. Whether the listing has a valid registration number displayed and the setup truly matches it: host on site, no more than two guests, and no lockable door or extra beds suggesting a third.
Decide the lane first. If the unit cannot be registered, move it to 30-night minimums and price per month, not per night, with a separate rate card for 1, 2 and 3-month stays. Next: build September and the November to New Year run as separate seasons. UN week, Marathon weekend and the holiday stretch each deserve their own premium rather than one autumn uplift. For Airbnb revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a New York City property usually leaks the most.
For Airbnb revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in New York City: January to early March, when weekday demand thins outside Midtown. July to August: Summer interns and visiting academics drive the monthly lane, so I publish June and July start dates early and keep hosted-room weekdays priced against hotels running their summer deals. January to early March: For 30-night units I accept a slightly softer monthly rate to land a February or March move-in, because a vacant month in winter rarely gets recovered later in the year.
Whole units still listed for 2 to 5 night stays, which now means lost bookings, blocked listings and fines rather than revenue and monthly stays priced as nightly rate times 30, which is far above what mid-term guests in the city will pay. I look for these first when I review Airbnb revenue management in New York City, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb revenue management in New York City, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. New York City sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Furnished Finder for 30-plus-night stays. Mid-December to New Year: I hold hosted rooms at full rate right up to Christmas week and refuse to open New Year's Eve to single nights, since late bookers still arrive for that stretch.
Park Slope and Prospect Heights: Families relocating to Brooklyn want space and a quiet block; I price for longer commitments and highlight school-year start dates rather than chasing tourist weekends. Astoria and Long Island City and Washington Heights and Upper Manhattan get their own treatment. For Airbnb revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Year-round corporate travel in Manhattan, UN General Assembly and Fashion Week in September and Marathon weekend in November are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue management in New York City. July to August: Summer interns and visiting academics drive the monthly lane, so I publish June and July start dates early and keep hosted-room weekdays priced against hotels running their summer deals.

Airbnb revenue management is priced monthly by listing count, from $225 a month for one listing and $325 for two, with Plus at 35 percent more and Pro at 75 percent more than Core. It runs month to month and is never a percentage of revenue. The scope of Airbnb revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in New York City I would start from late March to June: Hosted rooms get firm weekend rates through spring, with Tribeca week and graduation weekends at Columbia and NYU loaded as dated premiums instead of a blanket seasonal lift.
