Description

If your short-term rental isn't booking, slashing your prices might seem like the easy fix—but that move could be draining your profits. In this episode, we uncover five common pricing mistakes hosts make that actually hurt their revenue.

Learn when not to drop your rates, and what strategies to use instead to maximize bookings., and so much more:

  • Why matching market prices often misses the real problem (visibility & reviews)
  • When low occupancy means hold steady, not slash prices
  • How your market's booking window prevents panic pricing
  • Why high occupancy + discounting = lost revenue
  • How to price unique properties without comps

Knowing when not to lower your rates is just as important as knowing when to offer deals. These five pricing insights could save you thousands and unlock more consistent bookings. If you found value in this episode, leave a quick review and share it with another host—it really helps!
