Think of Revenue by Real Estate Type as your market's portfolio mix. It breaks down the total revenue earned by different types of properties, like houses vs. apartments, giving you a bird's-eye view of how the local short-term rental economy is actually distributed.
Note: Revenue figures include cleaning fees and any host discounts applied. OTA service fees are excluded.
Analyzing this breakdown helps you understand where the big money is flowing and how different property styles handle the change of seasons:
The Revenue Share: You can see which property types dominate the market's total earnings. While a city might have thousands of apartments, a smaller number of large houses might actually be generating a much larger share of the total local revenue.
Seasonality by Type: Not every property style reacts to the calendar in the same way. Houses with private pools might see massive revenue spikes in the summer, while centrally located apartments might maintain more consistent earnings year-round from business travelers and couples.
Evolution of the Market: Tracking this over several years shows you how the market is evolving. If you see "Houses" capturing more and more of the total revenue share each year, it's a strong indicator that the market is shifting toward family and group travel.
Looking at a sample chart from Orlando, Florida, we can see houses make up the largest share of the market’s revenue, with their share being more pronounced during peak demand months.
Market Share: Houses generate the majority of total short-term rental revenue in Orlando, bringing in about 70% of total revenue in the market. Meanwhile, unique property types and bed and breakfasts bring in less than 1% of revenue in the market.
Seasonality: The market’s highest revenue months are March, June, and July, and during these peak periods, houses capture an even greater share — bringing in about 72% of total market revenue.
