Meet the All-New AirDNA

You asked. We listened.

That’s why things will look very different next time you log into AirDNA! We’ve made a ton of exciting new updates so that it’s even easier to:

• Find the best short-term rental (STR) investment market (anywhere in the world)
• Understand Property Earning Potential for any address
• Explore vacation rental market trends & active STRs
• Study your STR competition
• Accurately price your listing
• Customize your searches and data with refined filters

AirDNA’s MarketMinder™ tool (now just called AirDNA) is completely redesigned with you in mind. This whole new look and feel makes data simpler to understand and relate to your business, whether you’re a host, manager, investor, or researcher.

Now, AirDNA is less of a library—where you need to know what you’re looking for—and more of a trusted advisor, helping you ask and answer the right STR questions.

Some of these changes are improvements to features you already love, and some are brand-new capabilities you’ve been asking for. Because of you, we’ve made AirDNA better than ever before. 

Explore Everywhere In the World—For Free

The most exciting change for AirDNA users is that every subscription—including free subscriptions—now provides access to all markets around the world. (We’re not kidding. Every single global market is free to browse.) You can now see critical information for any market in any country, including trends for rates, revenue, and occupancy. This makes it a breeze to compare potential investment opportunities and get the insights you need to make sound decisions. In larger markets, you can also drill down into specific neighborhoods or zip codes (called submarkets) to see which area is best for STRs. 

Remember: You don’t even need to have a specific investment location in mind when opening AirDNA. Exploration is fun, fast, and painless, and new tool tips will help guide you toward the best place to invest.

Make Smart Investments with AirDNA Market Scores.

Just check out the color-coded AirDNA Market Score wheels (an upgrade to the original Market Grade) to quickly compare potential investment markets. This 0-100 number lets you know if a specific area is a great, good, okay, or bad STR investment area. Submarkets have their own Market Score, too, making it easy to pinpoint the perfect spot within a city for your investment.

The AirDNA Market Score takes five important factors into consideration:

• Investability (U.S.-only)
• Rental Demand
• Revenue Growth
• Seasonality
• Regulation

Each of these factors has its own score, so you can see how each element impacts the overall market score.

To help you further understand the nuances of a particular area, we also measure rates, demand, revenue growth, and seasonal variability as great, good, okay, or bad. (See the rates, revenue, occupancy, and RevPAR sections of the app for these details.). One of the biggest questions STR investors have is, “Is this a good place to invest?” We distill the data for you, making it easy to answer that question quickly and helping you easily understand key factors of STR investing. Once you find a good or great market, you can dig deeper into the trends to understand what’s driving that score.

Customize Your Search with Enhanced Filters.

When considering a vacation rental investment, you might have a specific set of criteria in mind. With that in mind, we’ve expanded our filters to ensure you can find exactly what you’re looking for in the most profitable locations. 

AirDNA’s newest filter helps you define the market type you’re interested in:

• Coastal
• Mountains/Lakes
• Suburb
• Urban/Metro
• Mid-Size City
• Small City/Rural

If you have a specific property type in mind, you can further refine your search by:

• Listing Type: Entire place, private room, shared room
• Real Estate Type: Apartment, B&B, house, unique
• Number of bedrooms
• Number of bathrooms
• Number of people the property accommodates
• Price tier: budget, economy, midscale, upscale, luxury

Setting these filters allows you to see how a specific type of property performed over the past several years. If you already own a property, this is a great benchmark to compare how you’re performing to the local averages. And if you’re looking to make an investment, this can help you decide exactly what type of property to purchase based on what performs best in that specific market (or what gaps need to be filled).

This is just the beginning for new and improved filters! Even more options are coming online in the next few months, including:

• Host unit count
• Number of days the listing is available
• Star rating
• Number of reviews

Research Active STRs, Anywhere, Anytime.

Want a simple way to see which homes on Airbnb or Vrbo earn the most, charge the highest daily rates, or have the best occupancy? The new Active STR Listings tab puts that information at your fingertips in an instant (without hours of manual research). Sort listings by revenue, occupancy, daily rate, or review count to see the top performing properties in a certain area.

Using the filters lets you zoom in on listings like your STR or that match a property you’re considering buying so you can get a good understanding of your competition and your potential.

Clicking into a listing shows you more details, like which price tier the property falls into and the listing’s photos.

New Subscription Tiers Fit Every Need

Instead of charging by market, AirDNA now has a feature-based subscription model. Every subscription tier is carefully designed to provide valuable information and actionable insights, starting with our forever free subscription. AirDNA’s free subscription isn’t a “limited time free trial” and doesn’t require a credit card to sign up. Simply register for a free AirDNA account and start exploring every market around the globe.

The free account also gets you vital information like rates, occupancy insights, market overview metrics, and revenue and RevPAR details.

Each subscription unlocks additional features, answers more important STR questions, and gives you access to more years of historical data. There’s a tier for everyone at every point of their STR journey, so that you have just the right amount of insight whenever you need it.

Most importantly, we worked hard to keep our annual subscriptions affordable. The basic tier starts at just $180 annually (that’s only $15/month!) In many markets, one or two bookings can pay for your entire AirDNA subscription for a year.

More Improvements Coming Soon

These are just a handful of new improvements, and we have even more exciting additions coming over the next few months and into 2024. You can get a sneak peek of what some of these are by logging into AirDNA and checking out the new app. And sign up for our product announcements so you don’t miss anything!
