Overview

What is Airbnb revenue forecast in Santa Fe?

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 Santa Fe: Santa Fe Indian Market and Spanish Market; Santa Fe Opera season; Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta; Taos Ski Valley. Guests I price for: Cultural travellers and couples on 3 to 4 night stays, ski guests in Taos. Where I start: Market-week premiums, opera-season rates, and city STR permit compliance.

I configure PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with Indian Market, Spanish Market, the Folk Art Market, opera nights and Christmas Eve as date premiums, plus a ski season for Taos. Each channel follows the same rules, and minimums lengthen around the biggest weeks.

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

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Santa Fe

“Santa Fe and Taos are cultural markets with a few very strong weeks. Indian Market, Spanish Market and opera season drive summer, the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta spills over in October, and Taos Ski Valley adds winter demand. Santa Fe caps non-owner-occupied permits, so permitted homes are valuable and each peak week should be priced with care.”

How I price it

My Santa Fe calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January to FebruaryLow

    Santa Fe goes quiet, so I protect the floor and offer weekly rates, while Taos Ski Valley homes carry strong ski weekends and Presidents' week.

  2. March to MayShoulder

    Spring skiing in Taos runs into early April, then both towns soften; I shorten minimums, target road-trippers and lift only graduation and Easter weekends.

  3. June to AugustPeak

    Opera season, the International Folk Art Market, Spanish Market and Indian Market follow each other, so I price each market weekend as its own band above ordinary summer nights.

  4. September to OctoberHigh

    Zozobra and the Fiestas de Santa Fe open September, aspens turn gold and the Balloon Fiesta follows, so I keep autumn weekends close to summer rates.

  5. November to mid-DecemberShoulder

    Before the holidays, I price for cultural travellers and early ski weeks in Taos and keep weekday rates modest to fill gaps.

  6. Christmas to New YearPeak

    The Canyon Road Farolito Walk on Christmas Eve and holiday ski weeks in Taos make this a top band, with longer minimums in both towns.

Where I price differently in Santa Fe

Canyon Road and the Eastside
Galleries, adobe homes and walkable history; I price these for collectors and couples, with market weekends and Christmas Eve at the top.
The Railyard and Downtown Plaza
Close to markets, restaurants and the train; I price for short cultural stays and lift opera and market weekends.
Taos Ski Valley and Arroyo Seco
Ski-in and mountain homes in one, artist village charm in the other; I price winter highest at the ski valley and summer more evenly in Arroyo Seco.

What I check first in Santa Fe

  • Whether a Santa Fe home holds the right city permit, owner-occupied or not, and whether a Taos home meets town or county rules, because that decides which calendar is possible.
  • How the listing describes adobe features, kiva fireplaces and views, because cultural travellers here pay for authentic character more than for extra bedrooms.
  • Whether summer market weekends are open far enough ahead, since collectors and artists plan Indian Market and Spanish Market trips long before ordinary summer guests.
