Market guide
Ann Arbor revenue management market guide
Ann Arbor's year is built around the University of Michigan. Seven or so home football Saturdays at Michigan Stadium, the Big House, bring alumni and visiting fans who need one or two nights in a town with limited hotel stock, and those dates can outearn entire winter weeks. Spring commencement, parents' weekends, move-in days and the Ann Arbor Art Fair in July add further spikes. Underneath sits steady demand from Michigan Medicine, one of the largest academic medical centres in the US, which brings patients, families, visiting physicians and researchers on longer stays. We price game days and graduation as single-night surges, then use 30-plus-night rates for medical and academic guests to keep the calendar full through the quiet winter months.
Ann Arbor pricing calendar
- January to FebruaryLow
Cold and quiet outside basketball and hockey weekends. Medical and academic stays carry the calendar, so monthly pricing is the priority.
- March to AprilShoulder
Admitted-student visits and spring sports lift weekends, and late April graduation demand should already be priced and protected.
- May to JuneHigh
Commencement weekend is a sharp spike, followed by summer conferences and camps. Graduation dates deserve the highest rates outside football.
- July to AugustShoulder
The Ann Arbor Art Fair in July is a short, crowded peak downtown. Late August move-in brings another short lift.
- September to NovemberPeak
Football Saturdays drive the year's highest nightly rates near campus, with homecoming and rivalry games commanding the biggest premiums.
- DecemberLow
December graduation and holiday visits give small lifts; otherwise students leave and demand eases.
Where demand concentrates in Ann Arbor
- Central Campus and State Street
- Walkable to Michigan Stadium, the Diag and downtown restaurants. Game-day and graduation guests pay the highest single-night premiums here.
- Kerrytown and Old West Side
- Historic homes near the farmers market and Main Street. Families and alumni book whole homes for football weekends and Art Fair.
- Burns Park and near Michigan Medicine
- Residential streets close to the medical campus. Patients, families and visiting physicians book longer stays here year-round.
Rules and taxes to price around in Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor regulates short-term rentals through a licensing ordinance and restricts non-owner-occupied short-term rentals in residential districts, while owner-occupied hosts can operate under licence. The rules have been the subject of debate and changes, so confirm your property's eligibility with the city before investing. Michigan also applies use taxes to short stays depending on platform collection.

Ann Arbor short-term rental revenue is unusually concentrated. We load every home football Saturday as soon as the schedule is released, with 2-night minimums for whole homes near campus and premiums scaled to the opponent and homecoming. Graduation weekend gets similar treatment. Outside those dates, we target 30-plus-night stays for Michigan Medicine patients, visiting faculty and researchers, which suit the city's restrictions on non-owner-occupied homes.

FAQ
Questions from Ann Arbor hosts and hoteliers
How much more can I charge on Michigan football weekends?
Football Saturdays are the highest-demand nights of the year near campus, and the premium depends on the opponent, the date and the size of your home. Rivalry games and homecoming command the most. We compare with nearby listings as the schedule is released and adjust as pickup builds, rather than relying on one fixed football rate.
Can I run a short-term rental in Ann Arbor without living there?
Ann Arbor restricts non-owner-occupied short-term rentals in residential districts, while owner-occupied hosts can operate under a licence. The rules have changed over time, so confirm eligibility with the city. Non-resident owners often do better with 30-plus-night furnished rentals for medical and academic guests.
Is Ann Arbor good for medical mid-term rentals?
Yes. Michigan Medicine attracts patients, families, travelling nurses, visiting physicians and researchers, many of whom need furnished stays of a month or more. Homes close to the medical campus with parking and quiet workspace do well. We set monthly rates by season and list them on platforms such as Furnished Finder.
Does Revenuenaire work with hotels and Airbnb hosts in Ann Arbor?
Yes, remotely and scheduled in Eastern Time (UTC-5): hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, Airbnb hosts and property managers, from a single listing to portfolios of 1,500+ properties, with 100+ properties optimized in and around Ann Arbor.
How do I book, and what does it cost?
Pricing strategy packages are priced by listing count (from 125 for up to 2 listings), managed revenue management for hotels is quoted per property, and Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing is $18 per listing per month.
