Current Month in Review
In the monthly review section, you can see your performance indicators for the current month. This includes the current date's listed nightly rate, current monthly occupancy percentage, and more. Here is a breakdown of each.
- Today's Listed Rate - This is the current day's listed rate.
- Average Nightly Booked Rate (This Month) - This is an average of actual booked nights divided by the count of days booked.
- Occupied Percentage - This is the current month's occupied percentage.
- Change in Revenue - This compares the current month's revenue to the previous month.
- Total Net Payout - This is an estimate of payouts that will arrive in your bank from reservations. This includes cleaning overages, commissions. This does not include invoiced expenses such as supplies and other categories.
- Current month reservations - The amount of reservations you currently have for the month.
- Days Booked this Month - The sum of days that are not available for booking because of booking and occupied statuses.
- Total Guests Hosted this Month - The total count of guests that have stayed at your property this month.
- Average Nightly Rate by Date - This chart showcases the average nightly rate for a particular booking by date. This is not the exact nightly rate as nights can have changes in pricing. This chart also includes average nightly rate trend lines and forecasting.
- Total Cleaning Fees - This is the current cleaning fees charged to guests.
- EBITDA - This is an estimate of EBITDA (Earnings before interest, depreciation, and amortization). This is an estimate and average based on mortgage and expenses you have filled out during onboarding. This number is constantly fluctuating depending on how early in the month it is. This is because no bookings have been completed and paid out earlier in the month.
Below Average Nightly Rate, is a table of the current month's summary. It depicts Reservation amount, Channel fees, transaction amount, base property rent, host payout, and expected arrival date of host payout.
Current Year in Review
In current year review, you get deeper analytics into annual performance. Here is a short description of each.
- Average Nightly Booked Rate - This is an average of actual booked nights divided by the count of days booked for the entire year.
- Expected Revenue - Based on quarterly filters, this shows current quarter actuals, compared to bookings submitted for next quarter stays. It's a simple forecast for the quarter to come and will usually be lower until more bookings come in as the next quarter approaches.
- Change in Revenue - This shows previous year's revenue against the current year's revenue.
- Current Year Reservations - This shows the total count of reservations booked to date for the current year.
- Estimated Economic Occupancy Percentage - The economic occupancy formula involves calculating the amount of rent collected from tenants and dividing it by the amount of rent that could be collected if all the tenants paid the full rental amount. This is based on estimates and the average nightly rate and if you were to be 100% booked and occupied. This data point allows better assessing of your property's success rather than physical occupancy.
- Estimated revenue left in current year - Based on days that are not booked, and by what the current date is, this is an estimation derived to show potential revenue left in the current year.
- Total Net Payout - This is an estimation of what arrives in your bank account after reservation transactions have completed, commissions, and cleaning overages.
- Days Booked this Year - This is a total count of days that are booked for all reservations for the current year.
- Acquisition Cap Rate - This indicates the rate of return that is estimated and expected for your property. This formula derives the percentage from your original purchase price of the property.
- Prevailing Market Cap Rate - This indicates the rate of return that is estimated and expected for your property. This formula derives the percentage from the most recent value of your property. As property values increase, this rate most likely will lower.
- Total Guests Hosted - The total count of guests that have stayed in your property for the current year.
- Total Cleaning Fees - This is the total cleaning fees that has been charged to guests for the current year.
- Similar to the monthly review summary, a table summary of the year is included as well. It includes the same data points such as base property rent, host payout estimations, expected payout arrival date, and channel fee.
