Together with occupancy, pricing is the key variable that determines your revenue. About 60% of your potential income comes from the intrinsic value of your property, its location, and its amenities. The other 40% depends on implementing an effective dynamic pricing strategy.

Your strategy should take into account the fluctuating demand for your property throughout the year: season, local events, competing properties, and more. To maximize your revenue, you want to take full advantage of this flexibility.

Determine Your Basic Market Value

To get a first approach, estimate your property's market value the old-fashioned way by checking your neighbor's pricing. In the rental site, use the property search tool to look for similar properties in your area. Limit your search to listings with the number of bedrooms and maximum number of guests your place can accommodate. That gives you a starting point.

Then identify comparable properties. Select five to ten properties that are most comparable in terms of size and quality. Focus on listings with the most reviews, and remember that established hosts will be charging full market price.

Start Playing With It

Once you have reviewed the calendar for each property, you can determine the price and estimated occupancy rate for each listing. With all this information, you can start building your pricing strategy.

With an event calendar in hand, mark the peak season and increase prices then. In Kissimmee, that means holidays, school breaks, and big Disney and Universal event weekends. Start adjusting the nightly value for mid-week and weekends, until you achieve your desired occupancy and pricing sweet spot.
