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 Sarasota: Winter snowbird season; Siesta Key and Anna Maria beaches; Spring Training and arts season; Summer family travel from the Southeast. Guests I price for: Snowbirds on monthly stays, families on weekly beach stays. Where I start: Monthly winter rate cards, weekly summer pricing, and hurricane-season floors.
I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with monthly winter pricing, Spring Training and Easter as peak dates and weekly summer stays. Hurricane-season floors and flexible terms are built in, and Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia stay aligned, which matters here because snowbirds often shop the same condo on two sites.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue forecast page; this page covers how I apply it in Sarasota.
