How to Price Your STR with Multiple Base Prices

On this week’s episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke Carl breaks down his strategy for using multiple base prices (MBPs) in PriceLabs to better capture seasonal demand swings in short term rentals. He explains why a single base price often falls short in markets with extreme pricing differences between low and high seasons, and how setting monthly base rates gives hosts more control and flexibility. Luke also shares practical tips like turning down PriceLabs’ seasonality and demand factors, using bulk edits for efficiency, and keeping the system simple rather than overcomplicating it with too many custom profiles.

Competition and Saturation in 2026

On this week’s episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke Carl discusses competition and the fear of “market saturation” in the short-term rental industry. He explains why competition is actually a positive sign that a market is working, encouraging hosts and entrepreneurs to focus on improving their service, amenities, and operations instead of worrying about other listings entering the market. Luke also shares broader entrepreneurial advice, emphasizing that success comes from maintaining integrity, working harder than competitors, and constantly refining your business to stand out.
