Guides on short-term rental analytics — occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, pacing, and portfolio performance.
RevPAR — Revenue Per Available Room — is the single number that tells you whether your pricing and occupancy are working together. It's the metric that most STR operators have heard of but few actually track. Here's what it means, how to calculate it, and why relying on ADR alone will give you a distorted picture of your portfolio's health.
The formula is simple: booked nights divided by available nights. But most STR operators are counting the wrong nights — including inquiries, owner stays, and cancelled bookings — and overstating their occupancy as a result.
Read guideADR tells you what guests are paying per night. RevPAR tells you what your property is actually earning per available night. They move in different directions — and understanding the difference changes how you make pricing and availability decisions.
Read guideOccupancy, ADR, RevPAR, revenue, and pacing. Most STR dashboards show you the first three. Here's why pacing is the one that actually drives day-to-day decisions — and what each metric is really telling you.
Read guideThe honest answer: it depends on your market, property type, and pricing strategy. A 95% occupancy rate can mean you're underpriced. A 55% rate in a high-ADR market may be perfectly healthy. Here's how to benchmark your occupancy correctly.
Read guidePacing compares your current forward bookings against the same point in a prior period. It's the only metric that tells you whether you're ahead or behind before the month closes — not after the damage is done.
Read guideManaging 5+ units from a spreadsheet works until it doesn't. One formula error, one missed export, and your numbers are wrong. Here's how portfolio-level analytics changes the way multi-property operators understand their business.
