Dynamic Pricing

Nightly rates set against real local demand rather than a national average. Waterloo Region runs on university calendars, event weekends and contractor cycles, and pricing that ignores them leaves money on the table twice a year.

Why a national algorithm underperforms here

Automated pricing tools read broad seasonal demand well and read a region this specific badly. They notice Oktoberfest and university move-in after the fact, which is several weeks after a well-informed host would have moved.

We price against the local calendar: move-in weekends, reading weeks, convocation, co-op turnover, Oktoberfest, Rangers home games, wedding season at the Cambridge and Preston venues, and the conference schedule at the research park.

Rates get reviewed, not set once

Pricing is reviewed weekly against what is actually happening on your calendar. A soft fortnight three weeks out is a pricing decision, and it needs to be made while there is still time for it to work.

Minimum stays and gap nights

Most of the recoverable revenue in a short-term rental calendar is in the gaps: the two nights between a Friday checkout and a Monday arrival. Minimum stay rules that are right for August are wrong for February. We adjust them with the season instead of leaving one setting in place all year.

Included in both plans

Dynamic pricing is part of Co-Host and Full Service, at no additional cost. See the local calendar we price against.
