Visit Brighton Briefing Document – Air DNS data

BRIGHTON & HOVE MARKET DATA

The market data is derived from AirDNA data from July 2023 – June 2024, which is collated using data from Vrbo and AirBnB listings. It relates to a ‘snapshot in time’ and should be not used as definitive data.

Challenge exists in establishing accurate data for the sector due to:

· A proliferation of platforms used to market properties

· Providers listing properties on multiple sites

· Fluctuations in ‘active’ and ‘inactive’ listings

· Business owners of guesthouses, B&Bs and traditional self-catering units listing their properties on STL sites making it impossible to isolate data relating to properties which would have historically been used for Private Rental Sector (PRS) accommodation

· 6848 properties listed over the course of the year

· 4964 currently active

· 78% listed entire home while 22% listed a private room

· £176.10 average daily rate charged per property
