If your calendar looks emptier than usual this October, you’re not alone. 2025 has been one of the toughest years for short-term rental owners in recent memory — occupancy rates are down across nearly every market.

In this episode, I break down exactly why bookings have slowed and what you can do right now to protect your cash flow, attract bookings, and stay profitable through the storm.

I cover:

✅ The real data behind October’s drop in demand

✅ Why price cuts alone won’t fix your occupancy problem

✅ How to audit your listing and stand out in an oversupplied market

✅ Smarter ways to run promos, reduce fees, and increase value perception

✅ The mindset every serious host needs to survive this market cycle

Whether you manage one property or fifty, this episode will help you adjust, adapt, and thrive when others panic.
