A shorter lead time means that bookings are made closer to the arrival date, which can indicate higher flexibility or last-minute demand. Conversely, a longer lead time indicates that guests plan their stays further in advance. Understanding lead time helps landlords better plan and optimize their listings, pricing strategy, and operational processes.

Understanding the average length of stay of guests can help landlords adjust their pricing strategies, offerings, and marketing campaigns better to meet the needs and preferences of their target group.

Primarily characterised as a service where you lease your property to a tenant to meet housing needs directly related to the person or household. Long-term rentals are provided over months to years. Tenants are also significantly protected by civil law.
A rental for one month to one year. Medium-term rentals compromise short-term and long-term accommodation, where the property is used only for a certain period for work stays, temporary student stays, or other opportunities. It has not been considered stable housing for more than a few years.
Refers to the rate of utilization of rental units in a certain period. It is usually expressed as a percentage and calculated as the ratio of occupied nights to the total number of available nights. High occupancy means that the rental units are often occupied by guests, which is a positive indicator of demand and property management efficiency. Occupancy is one of the performance indicators in the short-term rental sector, as it directly affects rental revenues.
However, occupancy alone may not provide a complete picture of property performance, so it is combined with the ADR (Average Daily Rate) metric. The combination of these metrics is called RevPAN (Revenue per Available Night), which combines the effect of occupancy and the average rate per night into one indicator. RevPAN is a better indicator of long-term performance and a better decision-making tool. This approach to revenue management differs from the traditional perception of many hosts, who focus primarily on current earnings or popular terms.

This indicator is handy for optimizing pricing strategies and improving performance in short-term rentals, as it combines the effect of occupancy and the average rate per night into one indicator.
