It’s the short-term rental data platform that shows you what your property should be earning—and what you’re leaving on the table.
If you’re managing a short-term rental without AirDNA data, you’re essentially pricing in the dark.
AirDNA is a market intelligence platform that aggregates performance data from millions of Airbnb and VRBO listings. It tracks occupancy rates, average daily rates (ADR), revenue per available night, seasonal demand patterns, and competitor performance—all down to the neighborhood level.
For property managers, it’s the difference between guessing and knowing.
What AirDNA Actually Measures
AirDNA pulls live and historical data from active listings in your market. That means you can see:
- Occupancy rates by property type and bedroom count. In Nashville’s Germantown, for example, 2-bedroom properties averaged 72% occupancy in Q3 2024, while 4-bedroom homes lagged at 58%.
- Average daily rates (ADR) for comparable properties. If your 3-bedroom in Denver’s LoHi is priced at $220/night, but comps are booking at $265, you’ve got a pricing problem.
- Revenue benchmarks. AirDNA estimates what a property *should* generate based on market conditions, size, and location. If your Seattle listing earned $48,000 last year but the market median for similar properties was $61,000, that’s a $13,000 revenue gap.
- Seasonality and demand curves. You’ll see exactly when to push rates higher (hello, Jazz Fest in New Orleans) and when to drop minimums to fill gaps.
The platform isn’t perfect—it can’t account for your specific interior finishes or that brand-new hot tub—but it gives you a baseline that’s infinitely better than “what feels right.”
How C&C Uses AirDNA to Close Revenue Gaps
We don’t just subscribe to AirDNA and call it a day. We layer it with permit data and our own pricing pipeline to find the specific gaps your property is missing.
Here’s a real example: A client’s 2-bedroom in San Diego’s North Park was sitting at 64% occupancy with a $185 ADR. AirDNA showed the neighborhood median was $205 for similar units, and occupancy was hovering at 70%. We repriced dynamically, tightened the minimum stay during peak weekends, and added mid-week discounts. Within 90 days, occupancy jumped to 71% and ADR hit $198. That’s an extra $16,000 annualized.
We also use AirDNA to benchmark your property against the top 10% of performers in your submarket. If they’re converting at higher rates, we reverse-engineer why—better photos, tighter pricing, smarter amenities—and close the gap.
Why This Matters More in 2025
Most hosts still price based on gut feel or last year’s calendar. Meanwhile, your market is shifting. Permit crackdowns in LA and San Diego are reducing supply. Nashville and Atlanta are seeing saturation in certain neighborhoods. Chicago’s downtown is rebounding post-pandemic while some suburbs are softening.
AirDNA helps you see those shifts in real time—and adjust before your competitors do.
