I know that Airbnb's algorithm accounts for the number of bookings a host accepts, so maybe now the time's tough and people are looking to take competition out by trying to lower their search ranking?

(PS Zillow and other websites' values are no substitute for an appraisal and their algorithms routinely over-value properties,  So you may not get that price.)

Other than the obvious tweaks of raising min pricing or base prices, any other ideas/suggestions those of you using them can share to manage the seemingly broken algorithms we're now seeing due to locks owns, STR bans, and cross-border travel restrictions?

@Yitzchok Carmen  It's possible that VRBO's algorithm favored Evolve's host status versus your new private one and thus you are falling further down the list of search results. 

Neighborhood data is computed using a propitiatory imputation algorithm on ACS data since the ACS does not provide data tabulated by neighborhood.Hope this helps - Art 

The stable W2 wage earner brings significant credibility to the lending approval algorithm for sure.  

A computer algorithm just spits it out and says waived based on the sales price and areas median pricing, ltv, fico score.

I also can tell you that some of that data is also reporting the Covid-19 Cares data.Those reports are using algorithms that do not have perfect data and will include additional trade lines that are are distressed but being forgiven. 

Zillow has a decent algorithm, but I wouldn't rely on it.Find rentals comparable to yours (size, amenities, and location) and keep an eye on them.

Can't write or trust an algorithm to determine home value.
