1. One-Click Activation

Hostaway’s Dynamic Pricing tool is designed with user convenience in mind, offering a seamless one-click activation feature. This means you can quickly and effortlessly enable dynamic pricing for your rental properties without needing extensive setup or configuration. 

With just a single click, you activate a sophisticated pricing system that immediately starts analyzing market trends, competitor rates and booking patterns to optimize your rental prices. 

The instant implementation of dynamic pricing not only saves you time but also ensures your property is always priced competitively from the get-go.

2. Auto-Adjust Pricing

Balancing nightly rates with occupancy is a balancing act, but Hostaway's Dynamic Pricing tool excels at this. The key to maximizing revenue lies in setting prices that are high enough to capitalize on demand, yet competitive enough to maintain high occupancy rates. 

By continuously analyzing market trends, booking patterns and competitor rates, the tool adjusts your prices in real-time. It automatically increases rates during high-demand periods to maximize income and reduces them during slower times to boost occupancy. 

Dynamic adjustments ensure that your property remains appealing to potential guests while also securing the highest possible revenue.

3. Flexible Risk Profiles

Every property owner and manager has a unique approach to risk and Hostaway’s dynamic pricing tool accommodates this with its flexible risk profiles. Whether you prefer a conservative strategy that prioritizes steady occupancy or an aggressive approach aimed at maximizing revenue through higher rates, Hostaway Dynamic Pricing can be tailored to fit your needs.

By adjusting your risk profile settings you can control how the tool reacts to market fluctuations. For instance, a conservative risk profile might opt for smaller, more frequent price adjustments to maintain a high occupancy rate. This approach minimizes the risk of having vacant nights by ensuring your rates are always attractive to potential guests, even during slower periods.

On the other hand, an aggressive risk profile could implement larger price hikes during peak demand periods to capitalize on potential high earnings. This strategy might result in more variability in occupancy, but it can significantly boost revenue during high-demand times.

4. Manual Pricing by Date or Date Range

According to Maria Lopez (VP of Product at Hostaway), "Dynamic pricing is not just about automation; it’s about giving you control over your pricing strategy. With AI-driven recommendations, we remove the guesswork while ensuring you have the tools to make the best decisions for your business."

In addition to its automated features, Hostaway’s dynamic pricing tool offers the flexibility of manual pricing by date or date range. This allows property owners and managers to take control when specific circumstances arise that might not be captured by automated algorithms. 

For example, if there's a major event in your area that you know will drive significant demand, you can manually set higher rates for those specific dates to maximize your earnings. 

Alternatively, if you’re aware of a low-demand period or a sudden drop in the market that the system hasn’t yet accounted for, you can manually lower your rates to attract more bookings. 

This manual override capability ensures that you can respond swiftly to unique or unforeseen market conditions, providing an extra layer of control over your pricing strategy. By enabling manual adjustments, Hostaway ensures that you have the flexibility to adapt to any situation, allowing you to optimize your rental income while maintaining full control over your pricing decisions.
