YOUR MINIMUM STAY ISN’T JUST A CALENDAR SETTING—IT CAN PROTECT YOUR PROFIT.

I understand why hosts accept one- or two-night bookings. An empty night feels like lost income, and filling the calendar can feel like progress.

But after years of managing short-term rentals, I’ve learned that not every booking is a profitable booking.

A short stay still requires a complete turnover, laundry, restocking, guest communication and an inspection. It also creates more wear on the property and can leave an awkward gap that is difficult to fill.

That doesn’t mean I avoid short stays altogether. There are times when they make sense—especially during slower periods or when they fill a small opening between existing reservations.

The key is to use minimum stays strategically.

During high-demand periods, I may protect valuable dates with longer minimums. As arrival dates get closer, I can adjust those settings if the calendar still has availability. I also consider the full cost of the turnover and whether accepting a short stay could block a more valuable reservation.

Sometimes leaving a night open is the better business decision.

The goal isn’t simply to fill every available date. It is to accept the right bookings, at the right rates, while protecting the property and producing a healthy return for the owner.

I’ve been looking at short-term rental data for Toronto, the GTA, Vancouver and Montreal. I expected the simple story to be: fewer listings, higher nightly rates.

That isn’t what the numbers show.

Through September 2026, platform-tracked active listings were down about 32% in Toronto, 35% in Vancouver and 35% in Montreal. At the same time, occupancy increased in all three: Toronto reached 72% (+19.6% year over year), Vancouver 69% (+14.1%) and Montreal 73% (+22.4%).

But the average rate guests actually booked was lower. ADR fell to $122 in Toronto (−20.2%), $201 in Vancouver (−6.2%) and $123 in Montreal (−20.1%).

RevPAR—which combines rate and occupancy to show revenue per available rental night—helps explain why there isn’t one simple takeaway. It declined 2.1% in Toronto, but rose 10.4% in Vancouver and 2.7% in Montreal. Higher occupancy helped, but the result depended on how much rates fell.

The GTA needs a little care in the comparison. AirDNA reports municipalities separately, so there isn’t one combined GTA figure. In Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham and Oakville, listings were down roughly 36–49%, occupancy was up 27–39%, and ADR was down 13–26%. RevPAR rose in those four examples.

I wouldn’t take this as proof that guests are simply choosing cheaper places, or that fewer listings caused occupancy to rise. The data shows the pattern, but not the reason behind it. Changes in pricing, availability, property mix and local demand could all play a part.

My cautious read for 2027: fewer competitors may create opportunity, but they don’t guarantee pricing power. Hosts will still need to know who their property is for, show that clearly, and manage rates and calendar rules with care. A busy calendar is encouraging; the bigger question is whether it’s producing stronger revenue.

Please note: These are market-wide platform figures, not licence counts or the asking price of every listing.

Three things I’m watching in the GTA short-term rental market over the next 12 months.

1. Supply is down from last year

AirDNA doesn’t publish one combined GTA total, so I added its latest figures for Toronto and the surrounding municipalities. That rough comparison suggests about **25,400 active listings now, versus an implied 40,300 a year earlier**—a decline of roughly **37%**.

Toronto alone had 15,846 active listings in September, down 32% from September 2025. These are platform-tracked active listings, not City-issued licences. The GTA comparison is approximate: it uses municipal pages with a mix of August and September snapshots, and calculates last year’s total from their rounded year-over-year changes.

2. The GTA has several different rental markets

What works in downtown Toronto may not work in Oakville, Vaughan, Pickering or Newmarket. The guest mix, rules, seasonality and nearby demand drivers vary by area. A concert or major event can create a busy stretch, but it’s only one part of the calendar.

3. The details behind the listing matter

Hosts need to know who their property suits and make that clear through the photos, description, amenities, pricing and minimum stay. Then the experience has to match: a clean, prepared home, smooth check-in, timely communication and dependable support when something needs attention.

A lower listing count doesn’t guarantee an easy market. In the GTA, local knowledge and consistent ex*****on still matter.

AIRBNB: 15.5%. VRBO: 12%. IS HOST-PAID PRICING BECOMING THE NEW NORMAL?

Airbnb is transitioning home hosts toward a single service fee, with most paying 15.5% from their payout.

Beginning October 29, Vrbo is moving hosts toward a 12% commission structure.

The models are not identical. Airbnb’s single-fee structure generally removes the separate guest service fee, while Vrbo’s guest fees are expected to decrease rather than necessarily disappear.

But the direction is similar: more of the platform cost is moving to the host side.

That may create a cleaner price-shopping experience for travellers. Instead of discovering a large service fee later, guests see more of the booking cost within the displayed accommodation price.

But the cost has not vanished.

Hosts must account for the commission through higher rates, adjusted fees or smaller margins. Platform fees may become less visible to guests—but they remain part of the price.

This could improve conversion if travellers respond positively to clearer upfront pricing. It could also make properties appear more expensive if hosts increase rates without carefully reviewing their competitive position.

The real question is not simply who technically pays the fee.

It is whether the platform generates enough profitable bookings to justify the total cost.

Will host-paid pricing improve transparency and conversion?

Or are OTAs simply changing where the cost appears?

I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A WONDERFUL CANADIAN THANKSGIVING! 🍁

Thanksgiving is a good reminder that hospitality is built by people.

As hosts and property managers, we depend on guests who trust us with their stays, owners who trust us with their homes, cleaners who prepare every room, and tradespeople who answer when something unexpectedly needs attention.

This time of year also brings a few important reminders for hosts:

• Confirm the heating system is working properly
• Clear wet leaves from walkways and entrances
• Update exterior lighting as the days get shorter
• Review seasonal photos and listing information
• Let guests know about holiday closures or adjusted local hours
• Make sure kitchens are well stocked for family meals

Small details can make a holiday stay feel much more welcoming—and prevent small issues from becoming larger ones.

I’m grateful for the owners, guests, cleaners, contractors and industry professionals I’ve had the opportunity to work with throughout the year.

I hope everyone enjoyed some good food, time with family and a well-deserved opportunity to slow down.

What are you most thankful for this year?

180 NIGHTS. ARE YOU USING THEM PROFITABLY?

In cities where entire-unit short-term rentals are capped at 180 nights per year, every booking uses limited inventory.

If winter is your slow season, filling January through March with heavily discounted short stays may feel productive. But those bookings could leave fewer nights available when summer, major events or the holiday season can command substantially stronger rates.

A full calendar is not automatically a profitable strategy.

Some hosts use a hybrid approach:

• Pursue 30-plus-night stays during slower months
• Protect peak-season dates for higher-value short stays
• Keep winter rates high enough to justify using limited nights
• Adjust minimum stays as booking dates approach
• Budget peak-season earnings to cover slower periods

Mid-term rentals can help preserve short-term inventory where local rules permit, but competition for extended-stay guests may also increase as more hosts adopt the same strategy. Success still requires the right pricing, amenities, photos and target market.

Others may decide that operating entirely with 30-plus-night stays offers more predictable occupancy and fewer regulatory limitations.

The worst strategy may be opening the calendar and accepting every booking without considering which 180 nights have the greatest value.

How are you allocating your limited rental nights?

Does the 180-night model still produce enough annual profit—or is a hybrid strategy becoming necessary?

YOUR LISTING IS GETTING VIEWS—SO WHY ISN’T IT GETTING BOOKED?

Visibility is only the first step.

If travellers are finding your property but inquiries, booking requests and Instant Book reservations are not following, something may be creating hesitation.

Start with the listing:

• Are the first five photos strong enough to stop the scroll?
• Do your images match the season guests are currently planning for?
• Does the title communicate a clear reason to choose your property?
• Are the rates competitive after guests see the total price?
• Are minimum stays or cancellation terms creating friction?
• Are important amenities easy to find?

Timing matters too.

If guests typically reserve your property three months ahead, winter photos and seasonal information need to be displayed before winter arrives—not after. Ski access, fireplaces, parking and snow conditions may be far more persuasive than summer patios when guests are planning a January trip.

Most importantly, know your target guest.

More views are not necessarily better if the wrong travellers are clicking. Your photos, description, amenities and pricing should all speak to the people your property is best equipped to serve.

The goal isn’t simply more traffic. It’s giving the right guest enough confidence and value to complete the reservation.

If your listing receives views but not bookings, what do you review first?

Are you attracting your ideal guest—or just attracting clicks?

A FULL CALENDAR CAN HIDE A STRUGGLING BUSINESS.

Occupancy looks impressive.

But if those nights were filled through heavy discounts, short stays and expensive turnovers, the property may be working harder while earning less.

Two listings can both achieve 80% occupancy and produce completely different results.

One may have:

• Strong nightly rates
• Longer stays
• Fewer turnovers
• Controlled operating costs
• Healthy profit margins

The other may be absorbing platform fees, discounts, cleaning shortfalls, utilities, supplies, maintenance and constant operational demands.

That is why occupancy should never be viewed by itself.

A more useful measurement is net revenue per available night: what the property actually retains after the costs connected to producing those bookings, divided across the nights available to sell.

Sometimes accepting fewer reservations at stronger rates produces more profit, less wear and a better guest experience.

The goal is not to have the busiest property.

It is to operate a sustainable and profitable one.

Are you measuring occupancy—or what each available night actually contributes to your bottom line?

Would you rather have a full calendar or a healthier profit margin?

YOUR MINIMUM STAY ISN’T JUST A CALENDAR SETTING—IT’S A PROFIT FILTER.

A one-night reservation may look like additional revenue.

But after cleaning, laundry, platform fees, utilities, supplies, guest communication and the time required to coordinate another turnover, how much profit is actually left?

Shorter stays can also mean:

• More wear and tear
• More frequent inspections
• More opportunities for something to go wrong
• Greater pressure on cleaners
• Additional gaps between reservations

That doesn’t mean every property should require longer stays. A one-night booking at the right rate may be very profitable, particularly during an event or when it fills an otherwise empty gap.

The important question is whether the price reflects the true cost of accepting that reservation.

Minimum-stay rules should change with demand, seasonality and booking patterns. A longer minimum may protect high-demand weekends, while a shorter stay can help fill gaps as the arrival date approaches.

The goal is not simply to reduce turnovers or maximize occupancy. It is to find the stay length that produces the strongest net return without sacrificing the guest experience or overwhelming operations.

Are you setting minimum stays strategically—or accepting whatever fills the calendar?

Do you know the shortest stay your property can profitably accommodate?

Your calendar syncs itself. Your property still needs someone in charge.

PriceLabs’ Global Host Report 2026 surveyed more than 1,200 hosts managing one to four listings.

The tasks hosts say require effort?

→ Administration, accounts and taxes: 78%
→ Cleaning, turnovers and maintenance: 77%
→ Keeping up with booking platform changes: 59%

Calendar syncing? Just 15%.

That tells an interesting story.

Technology has made parts of hosting easier. But a synced calendar doesn’t tell you whether the cleaner found a leak, the backup key is missing, or the home is ready for the next guest.

A smart lock opens the door. Someone still needs to make sure the experience behind that door delivers.

I’m a big believer in automation. It gives us more time to focus on the details that need attention.

But when owners assess the cost of managing a rental, they should also consider the work that continues between bookings—and who is responsible when something goes wrong.

The next opportunity may be getting more value from the tools you already have, backed by reliable people and clear processes.

Which part of hosting still takes more of your time than you expected?
