Priced right every single night.

Our pricing engine reads the Vancouver market every 24 hours — events, weather, competitor availability, cruise season, booking lead time — and adjusts your nightly rate to capture peak demand without leaving gaps. Properties on dynamic pricing earn 10–40% more than static equivalents.

What it is

A pricing engine that reads the market so you don't have to.

Static nightly rates leave money on the table during high-demand periods and cause empty nights during slow ones. Dynamic pricing adjusts your rate every 24 hours based on real-time signals — competitor availability, local events, seasonal patterns, booking lead time, and day-of-week patterns. You set a floor (your minimum acceptable rate) and a ceiling; the engine optimises within that range continuously.

The single biggest pricing mistake Vancouver STR owners make is setting a rate in January and not touching it when Pride Week, cherry blossom season, or a Taylor Swift concert triples local demand. Dynamic pricing captures every one of those moments automatically.
How it works

Continuous repricing, set to your parameters.

1

You set the floor & ceiling

During onboarding we agree on your minimum acceptable nightly rate and a peak ceiling. The engine never goes below or above without your approval.

2

Engine reads the market daily

Every 24 hours: competitor rates in your neighbourhood, upcoming Vancouver events, weather signals, platform-specific demand data, and historical booking patterns for your unit.

3

Rate is adjusted automatically

New rate publishes to all platforms simultaneously. Last-minute discount if a gap night is approaching; premium if a sold-out event weekend is near.

4

Monthly review with you

Every month we share ADR (average daily rate), occupancy, RevPAR, and how your unit performed against comparable properties. We tune the parameters together.

0 hr

Your time on pricing

Zero manual rate updates. The engine runs daily; you review a one-page summary once a month and adjust parameters if needed.

And to your guests

Fair pricing builds trust → trust builds great reviews → reviews build higher rates.

Guests who feel they paid a fair price for what they got leave better reviews. Dynamic pricing ensures your rate always reflects real market value — so guests aren't surprised, overcharged, or under-served.

Market-fair nightly rate

Dynamic pricing keeps your rate aligned with what comparable properties charge — no sticker shock for guests.

Value-for-money 5★

"Value" is an Airbnb subscore. Properties with dynamic pricing score higher here because the rate always reflects the market.

Better rank → higher future rate

Higher overall review score → better Airbnb search rank → more demand → the engine can sustainably push your rate up.

In Vancouver

The peaks that dynamic pricing captures — and the soft spots it smooths.

PEAK DEMAND WINDOWS

Events that move nightly rates 2–3×

Vancouver Pride (Aug), Cherry Blossom Festival (Apr), Cruise season (May–Oct), Whitecaps & Canucks playoffs, BC Lions games, international conventions at Vancouver Convention Centre, New Year's Eve — each spikes demand for Downtown, Yaletown, and Gastown units by 2–3× shoulder-season rates.

SOFT SPOTS TO FILL

Weekdays, January, and November

Metro Vancouver has predictable soft periods: weekdays in shoulder months (Jan–Feb, Nov), rainy October weeks, long weekends where leisure guests can't fill 5-night minimums. Dynamic pricing drops the rate and the minimum stay length to capture these windows rather than leaving them empty.

NEIGHBOURHOOD SIGNALS

Micro-market pricing by area

Burnaby Metrotown and Richmond Airport proximity create their own demand cycles (convention centre events, international arrivals). North Shore properties spike on ski weekends. The engine tracks each neighbourhood's comp set separately — not a city-wide average.
