Investing in Fresno | Why are there more bookings in the summer than in winter?

[Emily Anderson]

So, I came accross a short term rental market analysis report for the city of Fresno, and found a really interesting chart representing the seasonality of the short term rentals. 

Never heard about this company before, but they claim to use raw data from Airbnb, and frankly I found them to be more accurate than Airdna. In any case, I attach below a screenshoot of the seasonality page for Fresno, CA.

You can see that the demand is higher in the summer than in the winter season. If you are running an Airbnb in this municipality, do you see this being the case? Are the bookings in December and January lower than in the summer seasson? 

Thanks for your answers in advance.

P.S. By the way, if you are curious to check it out, go to onera-group.com, register and you will find somewhere on their page the report for Fresno.

Quote from @Jeff Zimmerman:

that's really fascinating, I'm curious what they concider "Fresno" in their chart.  Fresno County includes quite a few mountain areas and I wonder if those are included in this chart since the chart peaks in the summer time.  

@Emily Anderson is there any data showing their sample areas?  thanks! 

Hey Jeff,

Just wanted to give you a heads up – I snagged a screenshot of the first page of their report

Looks like the mountain areas aren't included, probably under a different municipality.

I stumbled upon this report on their website, after signing up for their free account. I am starting to think that their tool provides more insights than Airdna.
