Overview

What is Airbnb revenue forecast in Door County?

An Airbnb revenue forecast is a month-by-month projection of occupancy, ADR and revenue for one property, shown next to the same figures for comparable listings. It is used to test a purchase, an arbitrage lease or a new listing before money is committed, and to set revenue targets for a live listing.

Demand drivers in Door County: Wisconsin Dells waterparks; Door County cherry season and fall foliage; Lake Michigan cottage demand; Chicago and Milwaukee weekend travel. Typical guests: Midwestern families on 3 to 7 night stays. Where the work starts: Summer weekly pricing, foliage premiums, and long off-season floors.

In Door County we sell summer as weekly stays with a fixed changeover day, and we lift rates sharply for October foliage weekends. Waterfront and bay-view cottages earn the strongest premiums. In the Dells, we follow school calendars across Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota, pricing holiday weeks and summer weekends highest and using midweek discounts for families who can travel outside weekends.

The full service is described on our airbnb revenue forecast page; this page covers how it applies in Door County.

Market guide

Door County revenue management market guide

Door County and Wisconsin Dells both serve Midwestern families, but their calendars are very different. Door County, the peninsula between Green Bay and Lake Michigan, is a summer cottage market: guests from Chicago, Milwaukee and Minneapolis come for Fish Creek, Ephraim, Peninsula State Park, fish boils and cherry picking in July, then return for October foliage. Wisconsin Dells is the self-styled waterpark capital, with outdoor parks in summer and indoor resorts that keep it busy around school holidays all year. Families stay three to seven nights in both places. We price Door County on a summer and foliage curve with long off-season floors, and the Dells around school calendars and waterpark weekends.
