Get ready to supercharge your vacation rental income—Beyond just leveled up in a big way! We’re thrilled to announce our latest and greatest update: real-time data from Booking.com is now integrated into our Market Insights and Comp Sets. That’s right, you’re not just getting insights from Airbnb and Vrbo —Booking.com data is now in the mix, giving you the most complete picture of your market. Plus, with connected data alongside this Online Travel Agency (OTA) data, you're equipped with the most impactful capabilities to strengthen your market presence. 

Why This Matters: Stay Ahead in a Competitive Market

In the fast-paced world of short-term rentals, having comprehensive, up-to-the-minute data is crucial. Beyond’s expanded Market Insights give you access to critical market dynamics, allowing you to track investment potential, measure ROI, and optimize growth strategies. With Booking.com data now integrated, you can monitor key performance indicators like Revenue per Available Night (RevPAN), Booking Lead Time, Amenities, and Average Length of Stay, giving you a true understanding of your market landscape.

In August 2024, Propeller Insights conducted a survey revealing  that 71.8% of travelers compare prices for the same accommodation across different booking platforms, and 57.1% actively look for deals and avoid high-priced periods. Additionally, 43.1% of travelers book well in advance to secure the best price, and 21.4% use other strategies to find the best deals. This is why having tools like Comp Sets is essential; it helps you stay informed about similar-sized listings in your area. Furthermore, 80.1% of respondents indicated they would pay more for certain amenities. Using Market Insights can help you identify and refine offerings that are most valued in your neighborhood. With this kind of behavior shaping the market, having access to real-time data from Beyond gives you the edge to remain on top and keep your listings attractive.

Our Comp Sets feature, now powered by data from the top three OTAs, provides an all-in-one view of the competition. You can customize competitive sets to benchmark your properties against those listed on Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, ensuring that your pricing strategies are always spot-on. Whether you’re tracking your properties' performance in new or existing markets, Beyond’s data gives you the confidence to make informed decisions to keep your listings at the forefront of your market.
