The RevPAR check
What does a lift in revenue per available night mean for you?
RevPAR is what your home earns per night it's available, booked or not. It's the fairest single number for pricing. Put in your last 12 months and see what a lift would be worth after our fee.
| Extra revenue in a year | $5,950 |
| Our fee for the year (plus GST) | $3,273 |
| You'd keep, after our fee | $2,678 |
You come out ahead once the lift passes about 5.3%.
An illustration, not a forecast or a promise. Figures are before GST. Results depend on your market, your listing and your reviews.
Questions
The things hosts ask first.
Do I need PriceLabs?
Yes. We work inside your own PriceLabs account. If you're not on it yet, start their free 30-day trial and connect Airbnb or your booking software; we'll send you a short step-by-step guide.
Will you touch my guests or bookings?
No. We only manage your pricing. Your guests, bookings, payouts and listing stay with you.
Can I set a lowest price?
Yes. You set a minimum nightly price for each listing and we never go below it. Change it any time by email.
How do you charge?
Once a month, in arrears. You get a statement showing each listing's nights, revenue and fee, then it's charged to the card you saved when you signed up.
What if I want to stop?
Give us 30 days' notice by email. There's no exit fee. We remove our access and leave your settings as they are.
Do you guarantee results?
No. Your market, your listing and your reviews all matter. What we commit to is the work: your pricing reviewed every week, adjusted as your market moves, and reported every month.
Where do you work?
Anywhere in Australia, with more countries to come.
How is this connected to Hobart Short Stay Management?
Same team. Hobart Short Stay Management runs homes for owners from start to finish; Short Stay Pricing does the pricing only, for hosts who run their own. Your details stay with Short Stay Pricing unless you ask to hear about full management.
Can I talk to someone first?
Of course. Email hello@shortstaypricing.com and we'll set up a 15-minute call. Most hosts don't need one, but it's there.
Start in about ten minutes.
