How We Stack Up Against the Market

Our Greater PS portfolio of homes booked 41% of available nights versus the cohort’s 37%, as compiled by Airbnb. Amid an oversupplied desert market, we are trending above the market, yet still have room for improvement. 

Dynamic pricing, pet-friendly policies, and a focus on longer stays draw more value from every calendar without cutting rates on prime weekends.

Our listings draw almost three times the impressions—153% higher— than comparable homes during May ’24 → Apr ’25, according to data collected through Airbnb. 

High-impact photography, A/B-tested headlines, and dynamic pricing tools keep us locked above the fold, reaching travelers before they even start filtering.

Out of every 10,000 search impressions, we convert 18 bookings versus the market’s 11—a 60 % uplift on Airbnb.

This efficiency turns views into paid nights, raises annual revenue, and shields owners from slow seasons when every inquiry counts.

Guests stay 9.7 days with us; the market averages 4.8 days according to “similar listings” in Airbnb Insights. That’s 102% longer than the market average.

Longer stays cut turnover costs, boost review volume, and reduce neighborhood churn, creating a sustainable growth loop.

Short-Term Rentals Are Banned

Monthly Rentals Are the Only Legal Option

Cathedral City no longer allows short-term rentals under 30 days in any residential zone. There are no STR permits available, and enforcement is active.

Our model is built for this environment. We help homeowners legally rent their properties for 30+ days using CAR-compliant leases, keeping them protected and fully in line with city ordinances and HOA rules.

Extended-Stay Guests Still Choose Cathedral City

Affordable, Convenient, and Surprisingly Lively

Cathedral City sits between Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage, offering central access at a more approachable price point. Guests enjoy the nearby Agua Caliente Casino for entertainment and explore walkable local gems like the Fountain of Life in downtown Cathedral City.

We regularly host traveling nurses, snowbirds, families in transition, and remote workers. These guests are looking for furnished, quiet homes where they can settle in for a month or longer.
