Quote from @Clint Miller: How are you supporting your clients during this festive season?

I don't know your specific market all that well but have you done some analysis on your ADR during the high season X your high season occupancy rate and determined whether taking lower priced slow season bookings vs letting your property stay vacant during the winter averages out in your favor?

I’m a little concerned about off season rentals.

Quote from @Pat Aboukhaled: Curious.. do you think a flat rate for the whole season feels more convenient, or would you rather pay per snowfall to avoid paying for a mild winter?

Quote from @Jordan Kaylor: What is a “seasoning requirement”?  

This seasonal slowdown is typically predictable and manageable.But at the end of 2024, we saw that increase jump to over 10 days, pushing average DOM from 25-30 to over 40.

I just bought it in the fall and am trying to complete a bunch of modifications during off-season (e.g. metal roof, certain safety features, treating the deck, possibly updating the fire pit area, etc). 

From my understanding since it’s a rental property I could use this against my income during tax season.

I think seasonality is starting earlier, but if people are starting this early, ahead of inventory bottoming, we could have a pretty crazy spring. 

-Provides peace of mind knowing you own the property outright, which can reduce stress, especially if income fluctuates during slower seasons.
