What are Comp Sets?
Comp Sets, or Competitive Sets, are lists of properties with characteristics similar to your property – they typically offer guests a similar experience to your property. A Comp Set includes other properties in your market that potential guests will likely consider booking while also considering your property. Think of this list as an inside view into what your competition is offering potential guests and how they are pricing their properties.
Features of Comp Sets Pro from Beyond:
- We use Airbnb and Vrbo scraped data to pull in nearby listing information–new listings scraped for every 7 days and calendars scraped for every 3-4 days.
- Comp Sets can be filtered by property type, number of bedrooms, number of beds, number of bathrooms, amenities, average review rating, and distance from listing (miles/km).
- View up to 50 nearby relevant listings.
- Users can access Beyond’s real-time specialized data for listing stats and performance.
How Can Vacation Rental Hosts and Managers Gain an Advantage with Comp Sets Pro?
Comp sets are essential for vacation rental managers and hosts to understand their market expertly, benchmark their properties against their competition, and price their properties competitively. You’ll gain an inside look at how your competition is managing their vacation rental, and position yourself to drive more bookings.
With Comp Sets Pro, vacation rental hosts and managers can now answer questions like:
- Is my pricing aligned with my market?
- How are my competitors pricing their properties?
- Is my pricing competitive?
- How does my property compare to similar ones in the area?
- How can I differentiate my property from the competition?
- What amenities are more popular in my market?
- What does market occupancy look like for similar listings?
How Can I Create & Customize Comp Sets in Beyond?
In Beyond, users can now create, edit, and manage their own competitive listings all from one view. You will be able to see nearby properties' average daily rates, occupancy, base prices, and health scores, and can choose which properties to include in your Comp Set. Using metrics like these will help you with finding listings that are the most comparable to your listing.
And to gain a deeper understanding of other similar properties in your market, you have the ability to click on each property to see its Airbnb or Vrbo page. This will allow for a deeper analysis of the property's description, photos, amenities, guest reviews, etc. to see if it is an option to add for comparison.
