AirDNA ADR Data

[Vincent Pecora]

Hi Everyone:

Newbie who just enrolled in AirDNA to analyze STRs and had some questions for those who are familiar with the tool.  I selected my target market based on some macro-level, historical averages for revenue, occupancy, and ADR.  The ADR figure looks pretty great, even when factoring in occupancy, but when I did a quick AirBnB search of properties in that market to "sanity-check" the data, I noticed that the nightly rates for the properties that were in line with the ADR that I pulled were a lot nicer than the ones that I'm targeting to buy.  This suggested to me that the ADR data I pulled may have been disproportionately inflated/driven up/skewed by the "mansion listings."  I'd like to independently validate the ADR that I pulled through AirDNA.  Is that possible?  If so, does anyone have a good methodology that would work?  My thought was to run a filter search in AirDNA using property values/features (e.g., # of BR, pool, etc.) and individually check revenue for the homes that had values/features similar to my buy box.  Any better methods out there?  Thanks!
