Washington Airbnb Management FAQ

The Washington Airbnb market is competitive in its very basic nature. The pandemic hit the Airbnb market hard, and the supply-demand ratio crashed during these times. However, the market is reviving now and the occupancy rate reached its highest in April this year at 86%. It has remained more or less the same. The Airbnb cash-on-cash return is 1.87% with a daily rate of $149. Since the market has gained momentum, it’s a great time to invest your money in the Airbnb business.

Because Airbnb is such a market that demands more hosts, the pandemic crashed the rental business. The demands of the guests couldn’t be met by the hosts. So, there is already a great setting for investment in rentals. The average daily rental rate in Washington is $149, and it has been steadily rising since the pandemic years. People who moved into rural areas or suburbs are coming back to the town and taking rentals.

The Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) has implemented and enforced a set of regulations on renting properties on short-term renting platforms. Any property owner who wants to list their property must have to get a license from the DCRA. Renting a property that is not the primary residence of the host for more than 30 days could lead to a permanent ban. Before renting the place the owners must also secure their properties by installing smoke detectors and also getting liability insurance for the rental.

Managing a rental business like Airbnb could be hectic. MasterHost helps you manage your business professionally. MasterHost has solutions to your complexities and offers a complete hand-off experience for you. We can assist with investing in the correct property and in maintaining and marketing it. MasterHost relieves you of the tiresome tasks that are holding you back.

The average Airbnb daily rate is $149 in Washington. It was continuously falling due to the pandemic. The lowest recorded this year is in February which is $162. However, it has seen an abrupt rise and reached its peak in June with $197 as the average daily rate. The rates fluctuate but it is highly improbable that they will go down as they did in the pandemic years. The daily rate will likely remain constant. Since Airbnb businesses follow flexible pricing strategies, it adapts to the dynamic situation based on demand. 

In Washington, Airbnb has a stronger presence in the rental platforms used by hosts. 73% of the total rentals available prefer to use Airbnb to list their property. Only 10% choose VRBO as an alternative to Airbnb. 17% of the rentals are listed on both of these platforms. Booking.com and HomeToGo have a minor presence in the market. Guests, however, prefer to compare and analyze the listings to find a suitable place for their stay.

In Washington, Airbnb is the platform of choice for renting out vacation homes. The number of Airbnb listings is higher compared to other competitors in the city, and the number of guests is much higher. Other well-known rental platforms include HomeAway and VRBO. You may manage several properties on both Airbnb and VRBO in Washington with the aid of a well-organized team and knowledgeable manager.

Washington’s streets are always crowded with tourists. People travel to the city all year long to see monuments like the Capitol Building, the Lincoln Memorial, and the National Mall. Few visitors come to the city from October through November, seeking a tranquil getaway free of overflowing crowds and expensive hotels. In Washington, the summer is both the busiest and most lucrative time of year for Airbnb operations. The occupancy rate rose to 94% in July. Even during major holidays like Christmas, the listings are reserved.

The hosts often require a minimum stay of 1-2 nights each. It is a calculated move to draw in the masses because Washington draws a variety of visitors throughout the year. However, hosts typically don’t let reservations for less than 4 nights for an exclusive listing with distinctive facilities and a premium daily charge. An average visitor stays 6 days to take in the city’s fascinating experiences.
