Airbnb and Vrbo demand is strong this summer, but a glut of supply continues to pinch hosts. But some hosts said, even with the demand, the headaches of hosting are no longer worth the money. Courtesy of Ryan VillinesAfter a grueling summer, Airbnb and Vrbo operators are deciding if the headaches of hosting are worth it. "I could be on vacation or out having drinks with friends, but I'm going to have to reply to Airbnb guests who can't get in or can't find the street," she told Insider. Are you a short-term-rental host deciding whether to stay in or leave the industry?

Fewer workers are taking time off for vacation or personal days, compared to last year. The following chart shows that the post-pandemic recovery in the number of workers taking vacation in June has stalled, with a slight drop from June 2022 to June 2023. To be sure, airline ticket inflation isn't as bad as it was last year. Even so, airline ticket inflation came in at 30.2% for all of 2022. When it comes to why fewer Americans are taking time off for vacation this summer, Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su told Insider that it's "an important question."

The high end and low end of listings are getting booked this summer, Airbnb managers told Insider. It's a listing stuck in the mediocre middle and, during the most competitive summer for hosts in the past three years, it's not getting booked. Kenworthy said these properties have been 80% booked this summer, running higher than the projected average of 56%. Budget travelers this summer have 'Champagne tastes on a beer budget'Meanwhile, with an abundance of listings to choose from, budget travelers are perusing with high expectations. Hosts said, for many of the listings getting stuck in the mediocre middle, it comes down to aesthetics.

"We started panicking and started connecting with other folks who we know have short-term rentals," Sullivan told Insider. Given the sharp rise of short-term rentals there, some local lawmakers have recently called for amending the law. But short-term rentals are often essential to a healthy tourism economy, particularly in vacation destinations. Investors jumped in to capitalize on the boom, and the market soon became saturated with short-term rentals. There's one thing pretty much everyone can agree on: Short-term rentals are here to stay.

Phoenix Airbnb hosts were expecting to be fully booked over Super Bowl weekend. Take a prime three-bedroom two-bathroom home that Kenworthy manages in Scottsdale, a suburb of Phoenix that actively prepped for a wave of Super Bowl visitors. The Super Bowl is being held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesThere are even signs of a recent surge in listings in response to the Super Bowl hype. While Phoenix will continue to be a popular vacation spot, Harvey predicts the Super Bowl disappointment will motivate some owners to sell their short-term-rental properties.
