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 Raleigh: Duke, UNC and NC State calendars; Research Triangle corporate travel; Basketball rivalry weekends; Medical travel to Duke and UNC hospitals. Guests I price for: University families and corporate guests on 2 to 4 night stays, medical travellers on longer stays. Where I start: Graduation and game-weekend premiums, medical-stay weekly rates, and corporate midweek pricing.
I configure your PriceLabs or Wheelhouse account with the three commencement weekends, rivalry games and the State Fair loaded as date overrides, plus a length-of-stay curve for medical guests. Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com then price from the same rules, so a graduation weekend never sells cheaper on one channel.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Raleigh.
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.
“The Research Triangle is driven by universities, hospitals and corporate campuses. Duke, UNC and NC State graduations in May, basketball rivalry weekends and conferences create the peaks, while Duke and UNC hospitals support weekly stays. July and January are the quiet months. I price each university town around its own calendar.”

Between semesters and before the conference calendar restarts, I lean on hospital and relocation guests with softer weekly pricing, and I only lift individual nights where a home basketball game falls.
Rivalry games at Cameron Indoor and the Dean Smith Center, spring admitted-student visits and Full Frame in Durham all land here, so I price by date rather than by month.
Commencement weekends at Duke, UNC and NC State overlap closely, which means one home can be booked by families from any of the three; I hold those Fridays and Saturdays as a single block.
Campuses empty out, so I court summer interns, visiting researchers and clinical rotations at Research Triangle Park and the hospitals with 2 to 8 week rates instead of chasing weekend leisure.
Move-in weekend, home football Saturdays and the NC State Fair in Raleigh each deserve their own uplift, while weekday rates track the return of corporate travel after Labor Day.
Thanksgiving visits and early-season basketball keep some weekends useful, but by mid-December I shorten minimums and accept holiday family stays at a sensible rate rather than leave gaps.
Price Duke, UNC and NC State graduation weekends as top premiums, opened early.
Add Duke-UNC basketball weekends as date premiums.
Build weekly rates near Duke and UNC hospitals.
Set weekday corporate rates near Research Triangle Park.
Lower January and July floors.
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 Raleigh: University graduations in May, basketball season, and spring and autumn conference travel. August to October: Move-in weekend, home football Saturdays and the NC State Fair in Raleigh each deserve their own uplift, while weekday rates track the return of corporate travel after Labor Day. February to April: Rivalry games at Cameron Indoor and the Dean Smith Center, spring admitted-student visits and Full Frame in Durham all land here, so I price by date rather than by month. 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. Which campus or hospital the guest actually needs to reach, because a Chapel Hill home ten minutes from UNC Medical Center is a different product from one near Franklin Street.
Price Duke, UNC and NC State graduation weekends as top premiums, opened early. Next: build weekly rates near Duke and UNC hospitals. For Airbnb revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Raleigh 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 Raleigh: January and July. November to December: Thanksgiving visits and early-season basketball keep some weekends useful, but by mid-December I shorten minimums and accept holiday family stays at a sensible rate rather than leave gaps. January: Between semesters and before the conference calendar restarts, I lean on hospital and relocation guests with softer weekly pricing, and I only lift individual nights where a home basketball game falls.
All three university towns priced from one comp set and graduation weekends released late. I look for these first when I review Airbnb revenue management in Raleigh, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb revenue management in Raleigh, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Raleigh sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. May: Commencement weekends at Duke, UNC and NC State overlap closely, which means one home can be booked by families from any of the three; I hold those Fridays and Saturdays as a single block.
Cary and Morrisville: Close to RTP and the airport, these homes sell Monday to Thursday; I protect weekday rates and use weekend offers to attract visiting families. Downtown Durham and Trinity Park and Chapel Hill and Carrboro 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.
Medical travel to Duke and UNC hospitals, Duke, UNC and NC State calendars and Research Triangle corporate travel are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue management in Raleigh. November to December: Thanksgiving visits and early-season basketball keep some weekends useful, but by mid-December I shorten minimums and accept holiday family stays at a sensible rate rather than leave gaps.

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 Raleigh I would start from February to April: Rivalry games at Cameron Indoor and the Dean Smith Center, spring admitted-student visits and Full Frame in Durham all land here, so I price by date rather than by month.
