Key Performance Indicators

1. Estimated Revenue - for the past period is shown in the currency selected for your report; the smaller number on the side is the change compared to the previous period. In this example, listings in this area have seen an average revenue of $3.19K in the past 30 days, which is an increase of $1.06K compared to the previous 30-day period. 
   
2. Average RevPAR - RevPAR can effectively predict your ADR’s success in filling available rooms. This, therefore, provides a constructive view of your property’s operational performance. It is the balance between the occupancy rate and ADR; it is the occupancy rate multiplied by the average daily rate. Read more
3. Average Occupancy - percentage for the area is also shown for the past 30 days compared to the 30 days prior to that. Listings in this area have seen, on average, 47% occupancy for the past 30 days, which is up by 10% from the previous period. 
   
4. Average ADR - It is the total rent divided by the number of nights within a given time period. An indicator of the average price of a vacation rental is calculated by dividing the total revenue generated in a vacation rental by the number of nights the vacation rental was booked. It is essentially the booked rate and does not include the prices for open nights. Read more
5. Number of Active Listings shows the average number of active listings for the past 30 days also compared to the previous 30-day period. There are currently 4680 active listings in this area, which is 314 more than the previous period. 
   
6. Number of Bookings shows the total number of stays booked for listings in the area for the past 30 days, compared to the previous 30-day period. These are bookings made, not necessarily stays that occurred, as some stays will have longer booking windows than others. 
   
7. Median Booking Window shows how far in advance stays were booked in the past 30 days compared to the previous period. This area has seen a few more bookings coming in a bit farther in advance this period compared to the last
   
8. Median Length of Stay, not the average, shown for bookings made in the past 30 days compared to the previous period. We show the median here to account for the long-term stays booked in the periods shown. 
   

Listing Map and Comp Sets

The map will show the approximate location of the current active listings in the report area. You can hover over each dot on the map view to see how many bedrooms that listing has, along with the average rate over the next year. The size of each dot is determined by the number of bedrooms the listing advertises, while the color of the dot corresponds to the listing's average rate. The tool in the top right of the map will let you pan, zoom, and select areas on the map. Double-click on the map to unselect any selections you've made (if you're using a trackpad, you'll need to click and not tap). 

Please note the defined dashboard radius is the maximum limit, and we get the closest x number of listings from its center point. If you notice on this map that the generated listings aren't covering the whole radius, it's only because your dashboard hit the maximum listing count. 

Creating a Comp-Set

Price and Occupancy Trends

Day of the Week Occupancy and Price Factor Charts show you the average occupancy and base prices for each day of the week seen over the past 30 days for listings in your selected area. 

The Length of Stay and Booking Window Trends

1. Booked Nights
   
2. Booked Nights by LOS and Booking Window
   
3. Bookings
   
4. Bookings by LOS and Booking Window
   
5. Booked Nights Weekend Only
   
6. Booked Nights Weekend Only by LOS and Booking Window
   

If we switch our view to break down the booked nights by LOS and booking window, we can see on the left that the last-minute stays booked in the past 30 days range in length from 3 to 28 days, and on the right, the booking window for the popular 7-14 days stays in this area are usually 2-4 months.

The Amenities Section    

(Watch Video)

This section has two charts detailing desired features in a listing by comparing the percentage of listings with an amenity to the percentage of bookings with the amenity. The Common Amenities chart orders the amenities by the percentage of listings that have them, while the Desired Amenities chart orders the amenities by those with the largest difference between the percentage of listings with that amenity and bookings.

In the example below, you can see on the Common Amenities chart that about 98.54% of listings in this report have Wifi in their listing details, but a bit over 99% of stays are booked with listings that mention having heating. 

And on the Desired Amenities chart, "Hairdryer" listings have the biggest difference between the percentage of bookings made and listings that report having that amenity.

If there is a specific amenity you are trying to find details on, you can use the search bar to see how many listings in your area have that amenity. Note that this searches only the 50 most common amenities in your market. If an amenity, shampoo, for example, is in high demand right now, you should be sure to add that amenity to your listing page if you have it as it seems to be desired. 

Policies and Fees

(Watch Video)

Similar to the amenities charts, the Weekly Discounts and Monthly Discounts charts show the percentage of bookings made in the past 30 days compared to the percentage of listings that have a fee in that range. 

The percentage of listings and bookings made are shown in the same way here with the charts for Cleaning Fees and Cancellation Policies.

And on the Max Number of Guests and Extra Person Fees chart. 

Export as PDF

The final section allows you to filter listings with your desired bedroom count, your selection here will apply to all sections on the dashboard. You can also export a PDF of the dashboard that you can share with your team or property owners! You'll need to apply any filters you'd want before exporting, click "Generate PDF" and then you'll see the option to download the report when the PDF is ready. 

We hope that you will find these graphs helpful! Use them to spot anomalies in the market, analyze what other STRs are doing, or simply benchmark your performance against the market. 

The data on the dashboard refreshes daily as long as the refresh switch is on, so you can stay updated on your market with little effort.
