Overview

What is Airbnb revenue forecast in Saratoga Springs?

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 Saratoga Springs: The Saratoga Race Course summer meet; The Travers Stakes; Saratoga Performing Arts Center concerts; Skidmore College and the mineral-springs spa town. Guests I price for: New York and Albany racing fans on week-long and weekend stays downtown and near the track, plus concert-goers and college visitors. Where I start: Dramatic track-season premiums and long minimum stays during the meet, Travers-weekend surge pricing, and a soft off-season that needs monthly rate cards.

I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with the meet as a weekly season, Travers week as its own band and SPAC dates as smaller premiums. Winter switches to monthly pricing, and Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com follow one consistent set of rules all year.

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

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Saratoga Springs

“Saratoga Springs is one of the most extreme seasonal markets in the Northeast. The thoroughbred meet from mid-July to early September can earn more than the rest of the year combined, and Travers Stakes weekend is the single highest point. Many racing fans book the same homes every year. Outside the meet, the town is quiet and needs monthly strategies.”

How I price it

My Saratoga Springs calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January to MarchLow

    Chowderfest in February is the one winter weekend I lift; otherwise I sell furnished monthly stays to Albany-area professionals and families between homes.

  2. April to JuneShoulder

    Skidmore commencement, SPAC's opening weeks and Saratoga Spa State Park weather bring couples back, and this is when I quietly confirm returning track guests for summer.

  3. Mid-July to AugustPeak

    Opening day at the Saratoga Race Course starts the meet; I sell full weeks, price racing days above dark days only for short gaps and review rates against last year's pickup.

  4. Travers Stakes weekPeak

    The Midsummer Derby is the year's single highest point, so I price it alone, open it to returning guests first and never let it go as a stray weekend.

  5. September to OctoberShoulder

    After closing day, I return to weekend pricing for foliage drives toward Lake George and the Adirondacks, with Skidmore parents' weekend as a smaller lift.

  6. November to DecemberLow

    The Victorian Streetwalk and holiday visits help early December, but I mostly rely on longer stays and keep the floor above what summer guests might see as a bargain.

Where I price differently in Saratoga Springs

Union Avenue and the East Side
Closest to the Saratoga Race Course, these homes are the heart of the meet; I sell them by the week and price Travers week as a separate band.
Broadway and Downtown
Walkable to restaurants, Congress Park and the springs; I price them for couples and concert guests and allow some shorter summer stays between racing weeks.
Saratoga Lake
Waterfront homes a short drive from the track; I price them for families and groups across the whole summer, not just the meet, with boating as a selling point.

What I check first in Saratoga Springs

  • How the meet weeks were priced last year compared with what neighbouring homes achieved, because many owners roll last season's rate forward without checking how the market moved.
  • Whether the home's walking distance to the track, Broadway and SPAC is stated precisely, since guests during the meet pay most for leaving the car parked.
  • Whether the off-season listing is written for monthly guests, with workspace, parking and winter details, rather than still describing a summer racing house.
