How far out do you keep your calendar open?

[Mark Townsend]

Hi all! 

I have a short term rental in coastal North Carolina, that I opened up Back in October.

I have my calendar on Airbnb open for nine months out. I noticed that quite a few other hosts only keep their calendar open for three months from today’s date.

Is there a strategy behind this or is it typically just personal reasons? I’m already getting bookings for the high season and I’m excited to see those get locked in early and not miss out on the people that plan ahead.

what are your thoughts?
