Overview

What is Airbnb revenue forecast in Oxford?

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 Oxford: University graduations, open days and May Balls; International summer tourism; Conferences and academic travel; Cotswolds and London day-trip flows. Guests I price for: International visitors and parents on 2 to 3 night stays, academic and corporate guests. Where I start: University-calendar premiums, summer rates, and council STR rules.

I set up the pricing tool with you so degree days, balls and rowing weeks carry premiums, summer weeks favour longer stays for language-school families, and weekdays during term are priced for academics, with the same rules applied across Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo.

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

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Oxford

“Oxford and Cambridge follow the university calendar. Graduation weeks, open days and May Balls are sharp peaks, summer brings international tourists and academic visitors come all year. Local councils also have planning rules on short-term lets. Parents, academics and tourists book at very different times of year, so the calendar here is less about seasons and more about knowing each university's key dates in advance.”

How I price it

My Oxford calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January to MarchLow

    Term brings academics and interviews, so I price weekdays for visiting scholars and keep weekend rates realistic for the few leisure visitors travelling in winter.

  2. April to JuneHigh

    Eights Week on the Isis, the May Bumps in Cambridge and May Week balls drive late spring, so I load those dates and price each as its own premium.

  3. July to SeptemberPeak

    Summer schools and international tourists fill both cities, so I sell longer stays to language-school families and keep short stays for tourists on the busiest weekends.

  4. October to DecemberShoulder

    Freshers and Michaelmas term bring parents and academic visitors, and Christmas markets help December weekends, so I price weekdays for academics and weekends for leisure guests.

Where I price differently in Oxford

Jericho and Summertown in Oxford
Close to the colleges and popular with academics and families, so I price for calm, longer stays and add premiums for graduation and Eights Week.
Mill Road and Petersfield in Cambridge
Near the station and independent shops, these homes suit academics and conference guests on weekdays and tourists at weekends; I price both segments separately.
Headington and Cherry Hinton
Further from the centres but close to hospitals and science parks, so I price for longer weekday stays from medical, research and corporate guests.

What I check first in Oxford

  • How long it takes to walk to the colleges and the train station, because visitors to Oxford and Cambridge rarely want to drive and the city centres have very limited parking.
  • Whether the council's current position on short lets has been checked for the property, as both cities have pressure on housing and rules can change.
  • Whether degree ceremony dates for the right colleges are loaded, since families book these as soon as they are announced and they spread through the year rather than falling in one week.
