Lodgify Launches New Industry Report: US Vacation Rental Trends and Outlook for the Winter Season
Barcelona, October 19, 2021 (Newswire.com) - With the accrual of over 340,000 bookings from all across the United States, Lodgify analyzed the 2019-2021 vacation rental market to date and what the upcoming season is projected to look like. Their in-house data showed recovery to pre-COVID numbers for some markers and other interesting findings that indicate a growing hope for the vacation rental industry.
Lodgify found that from 2019 to September, guests have increased their length of stay by 6.2%. With a slight dip during COVID, trips are now growing increasingly longer and have even maintained a steady upward trend dating back to the beginning of 2019.
There was also much debate over who came out ahead during the pandemic: rural or urban accommodations? For 2021, rural accommodations had a 12% lead over urban stays in terms of number of nights booked. Urban accommodations still hold a higher occupancy rate than their rural counterparts, but these countryside vacation rentals have a promising increase, according to Lodgify. The rural accommodation occupancy rate rose by 7% for the 2021 peak season when compared to 2020's peak season. Just within the summer months, rural occupancy rates rose by 3.5%.
Findings also show that the value of vacation rentals is going up. The average daily rate has been steadily increasing since 2019. Lodgify found that vacation rental owners experienced a 31% increase in ADR when comparing the summer of 2019 to the summer of 2021.
The full report covers other insights, such as mid-length stays, performance based on individual states, and booking windows. To read the full U.S. 2021 Vacation Rental Industry Report by Lodgify, click here.
