Overview

What is Airbnb revenue forecast in Québec City?

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 Québec City: Québec Winter Carnival; Festival d'été in July; Old Québec and cruise calls; Christmas markets. Guests I price for: US and Canadian couples on 2 to 4 night stays. Where I start: Festival premiums, winter carnival pricing, and CITQ-compliant positioning.

For hosts I set up your pricing tool with named events for the Carnival, Festival d'été and the Christmas market, plus floors that keep spring and November realistic. I also make sure the French and English versions of the listing carry identical rules.

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

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Québec City

“Québec City sells Old Québec charm in summer and winter. The Winter Carnival in February is a rare winter peak, Festival d'été fills July and Christmas markets add December. CITQ registration is required. Most guests are couples on short breaks, so walkability to Old Québec and parking in winter are the features that decide bookings and deserve a clear price difference.”

How I price it

My Québec City calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January to FebruaryHigh

    The Winter Carnival fills the city for several weekends, so I price them as a block and keep weekdays steady for visitors coming to see the Hôtel de Glace.

  2. March to AprilLow

    Snow melt and sugar-shack season bring local weekend trips only, so I lower floors, allow single nights and keep weekend minimums short.

  3. May to JuneShoulder

    Rates rise as the terraces in Old Québec open and Saint-Jean-Baptiste on June 24 arrives, which I treat as its own premium date.

  4. July to AugustPeak

    Festival d'été de Québec is the top summer event, so I set minimum stays for its days and hold the rest of the summer near peak.

  5. September to OctoberHigh

    Cruise calls and autumn colour keep the city busy, so I hold weekends firm and only discount weekdays late in October.

  6. November to DecemberShoulder

    November is quiet, so I keep it simple and cheap, then lift prices again for the German Christmas Market and the holiday weeks in Old Québec.

Where I price differently in Québec City

Old Québec (Vieux-Québec)
The address everyone wants; I price it highest during the Carnival, Festival d'été and Christmas season, and avoid discounting it like the rest of the city.
Saint-Roch
A trendier neighbourhood below the cliff with restaurants and nightlife; I price it a step below Old Québec and target younger couples and festival visitors.
Montcalm and the Plains of Abraham
Close to the festival stages and museums; I lift prices for Festival d'été and keep longer stays appealing for families.

What I check first in Québec City

  • Whether the CITQ registration number is current and shown on every channel, because Québec expects it on listings and an expired number puts all bookings at risk.
  • Whether winter parking and snow clearing are explained clearly, since guests driving from Montréal or New England often choose based on that alone in January and February.
  • How far the unit is from the walls of Old Québec on foot, which drives bookings for couples who plan to walk everywhere.
