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 Columbus: Ohio State football and university calendars; Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Cedar Point; Bengals, Browns and Guardians seasons; Conventions and medical travel. Guests I price for: Regional event travellers on 2 night stays, medical and corporate guests. Where I start: Game-day premiums, medical-stay weekly rates, and winter floors.
In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I add the football schedules, concert dates and hospital-driven long stays for each city, set weekly and monthly discounts, and keep two-night minimums on event weekends so the busiest Saturdays are not sold as single nights.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue forecast page; this page covers how I apply it in Columbus.
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.
“Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati are three event-driven cities with medical and university demand. Ohio State football weekends in Columbus are some of the strongest nights in the state, Cedar Point shapes summer near Sandusky, and major hospitals support weekly stays. I price each city on its own calendar.”

Hospital and corporate stays carry these months, so I lean on weekly and monthly pricing and accept softer weekends rather than chasing leisure guests who rarely come in an Ohio winter.
The Arnold Sports Festival fills Columbus for a long weekend, and March basketball tournaments add dates; I price those individually while leaving Cleveland and Cincinnati on winter floors.
Commencements, the Memorial Tournament in Dublin and early concert season lift weekends, so I raise those dates and keep minimums at two nights for event travellers.
Summer concerts and baseball in all three cities, plus Cedar Point near Sandusky, keep weekends full; I watch weekday pricing more closely than weekends during these months.
Football Saturdays drive the season, so I set each home game date separately, with the biggest rivalry and night games highest, and lift Cincinnati and Cleveland dates around NFL home games.
Holiday visitors and bowl game travel give some weekends a lift, but I keep weekday floors modest and use longer-stay discounts to cover the quiet stretch before New Year.
Price Ohio State home football weekends as top premiums in Columbus.

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 Columbus: Ohio State and Bengals game weekends, summer concerts, and Cedar Point season from May to October. July to August: Summer concerts and baseball in all three cities, plus Cedar Point near Sandusky, keep weekends full; I watch weekday pricing more closely than weekends during these months. September to November: Football Saturdays drive the season, so I set each home game date separately, with the biggest rivalry and night games highest, and lift Cincinnati and Cleveland dates around NFL home games. 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 Columbus: January to February. December: Holiday visitors and bowl game travel give some weekends a lift, but I keep weekday floors modest and use longer-stay discounts to cover the quiet stretch before New Year. January to February: Hospital and corporate stays carry these months, so I lean on weekly and monthly pricing and accept softer weekends rather than chasing leisure guests who rarely come in an Ohio winter.
Short North and German Village, Columbus: Walkable neighbourhoods near downtown and campus traffic; I price game weekends highest here and keep weekdays competitive for convention and state business visitors. Ohio City and Tremont, Cleveland and Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati get their own treatment. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i choose the comp set from the part of Columbus 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 close the home really is to the stadium, arena or hospital it markets, because guests in these cities judge a listing by walk or drive time to one destination.
Regional event travellers on 2 night stays, medical and corporate guests. Demand is driven by Bengals, Browns and Guardians seasons and Conventions and medical travel. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i base length of stay and booking window assumptions on how these guests book.
Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati are three event-driven cities with medical and university demand.

Ohio State football and university calendars, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Cedar Point and Bengals, Browns and Guardians seasons are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue forecast in Columbus. January to February: Hospital and corporate stays carry these months, so I lean on weekly and monthly pricing and accept softer weekends rather than chasing leisure guests who rarely come in an Ohio winter.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Columbus the first gains from Airbnb revenue forecast usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Cedar Point season from May to October for homes near Sandusky. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
