If you manage a vacation rental, you know that pricing your property is one of the most important aspects of the job. It’s also one of the more challenging since there is no one-size-fits-all solution. To stay competitive, you need to keep an eye on the competition and set your property apart from the rest, while at the same time making sure you’re not leaving money on the table. But what if your competition isn't playing by the same rules? Custom Comp Sets from Key Data is your go-to solution. Comp Sets, or competitive sets, are a curated group of competitive listings that help you benchmark or level set your strategy. And Key Data’s Comp Sets just made benchmarking a whole lot easier. In this post, we'll explore three specific reasons why custom comp sets are a must-have for any vacation rental business.
Comprehensive Analysis
Key Data’s Comp Sets are a must-have for your vacation rental business because of their superior ability to provide comprehensive analysis between you and your competition. Our Custom Comp Sets analyze data from thousands of data points to provide the best overall analysis in the industry. We’ve even added valuable KPIs like average booked rates, average unbooked rates, and calendar occupancy to help you zero in on actionable strategies for your units. Once you’re ready to analyze your market position, easily create custom grouping based on size, quantity, and location, and keep that data row frozen at the top of the chart while you compare to other, similar units.
