Anyone noticed an uptick in VRBO?

[Bruce Woodruff]

One of our places used to be roughly 75% AIR and 25% VRBO (I track these kinda stats in an Excel Spreadsheet). It is a downtown place which 'could' attract more millennials, so I chalked it up to that.... (AIR being used by younger folks more that is)

I notice a distinct difference this year, starting almost exactly with the beginning of the year......we are now at 50/50% or better for VRBO. Pretty big shift in a short period of time.....

So I heard last year that VRBO was making a sustained push to gain market share....I wonder if it could be working this quickly or if I am seeing a coincidental shift just related to my property?

For sure. Mine was previously 5% VRBO. Right now, it's about 40%. or more.
