Remember! As a general pricing strategy you want to be the first booked in slow season and the last booked in high season.
This is a great example of this rule, for a booking that came in today
3 night booking (September 4-7, 2026, 158 day lead time)
$2,503 for 3 nights
$225 cleaning fee
Booked 158 days in advance
If our 4 weekends in September get booked around this price it would bring in $9K-$10K just for the weekends, and this property cost us $8K/month
I just double checked our calendar for September and in total this property has $5,966 in payouts secured already over 8 nights of bookings. Meaning we got 22 other night to still rent out.
This property should do roughly $13,000 - $15,000 revenue in September.
Proper pricing = proper bookings.
