By The Numbers: 2025
How We Outperform the Market
Los Angeles homes in our care run 76% occupancy while the city average hovers at 45.6%, according to data collected via Airbnb.
Thorough SEO, rapid maintenance, and on-the-ground hospitality teams keep calendars full and owners’ income steady.
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.
Airbnb shows our homes on page 1 of search results 55.7% of the time, weighted across 12 months from April 2024 – April 2025.
That means every other guest search in our price bands starts with an Open Air Homes listing—boosting inquiries and brand awareness for every owner in the portfolio.
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.

💬 List Your Home FAQ
1. Can I legally rent my Echo Park home on Airbnb?
Yes — if the home is your primary residence and you register for a Home Sharing Permit through the City of Los Angeles, you can host short-term rentals under 30 days. If you don’t live on-site or prefer not to deal with permitting, we focus on fully legal monthly rentals (30+ nights), which don’t require city registration.
2. What kind of rental services do you provide in Echo Park?
Open Air Homes handles the entire process, from listing your property, photographing the space, and managing guest inquiries, to pricing optimization, cleanings, maintenance, and legal lease agreements for longer stays. Whether it’s a 3-month relocation or a permitted short-term stay, we take care of everything.
3. Is long-term leasing an option if I don’t want to rent monthly?
Absolutely. Since Open Air Homes is a licensed California brokerage (DRE #02164159), we also manage 12-month leases. We’ll list your home on the MLS, screen qualified tenants, and use CAR-compliant leases to ensure legal protection. Many owners rotate between monthly and long-term leasing depending on personal use.
4. What kinds of guests typically stay in Echo Park homes?
5. What can I expect to earn renting my home monthly in Echo Park?
Most Echo Park homes earn 20–30% more than an unfurnished annual lease, especially if the home is furnished, staged, and well photographed. Houses with views, separate studios or ADUs, and outdoor space see the strongest interest. Our team dynamically adjusts pricing using market data to help you earn more.
6. How do you build a rental plan that works for my lifestyle?
We’ll work around your calendar. If you use your home part of the year, we block those dates and fill the rest with vetted monthly guests. Whether you’re interested in steady income, seasonal availability, or flexibility, we’ll create a strategy tailored to your home and your needs.
7. What makes your monthly rental management different?
We combine brokerage-level legal compliance with a hospitality-driven approach. That means licensed lease drafting, responsive guest service, professional turnover cleanings, and vendor oversight — all while you stay completely hands-off.
8. How do you set pricing for Echo Park homes?
We use PriceLabs dynamic pricing, paired with Airbnb data, Zillow comps, and our internal booking history. Each lease is reviewed by our Broker of Record to ensure legal compliance. Homes near Elysian Park, Sunset Blvd, and the lake often earn the most due to walkability and local demand.
