By The Numbers: 2025 In Review
How We Stack Up Against the Market
Our Los Angeles portfolio booked 70.1% of available nights in 2025, compared to 44% among similar listings within Airbnb. In the most competitive short-term rental market in California, this performance reflects disciplined pricing, review velocity, and consistent operational execution.
Dynamic pricing, pet-friendly positioning, and a focus on longer stays help us extract more value from each calendar while protecting peak-season rates and guest quality.
Our listings averaged 120% more page views than comparable homes during Jan ’25 → Jan ’26, 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.
Our listings appeared on page one 56.5% of the time in 2025, compared to 26% for similar listings on Airbnb.
This consistent placement reflects pricing discipline, photography quality, and review velocity across our portfolio.
Our listings converted at 0.30% in 2025, compared to 0.16% for similar listings on Airbnb. That gap represents an 88% conversion advantage, up from 60% in 2024.
Higher conversion means more bookings from the same traffic, translating directly into higher occupancy and net revenue.
Our guests stayed an average of 10.9 days in 2025, compared to 5.5 days for similar listings on Airbnb.
This nearly 2x advantage reflects intentional design, pricing strategy, and a belief that longer stays are the future of short-term rentals.
Why Inglewood Is One of the Hottest Rental Markets in LA
Three World-Class Venues Within Walking Distance
No other neighborhood in Los Angeles has this concentration of major venues. SoFi Stadium hosts the Rams, Chargers, and global events like the FIFA World Cup. The Kia Forum is the top-ranked music and entertainment arena in the country. Intuit Dome is the $2 billion home of the LA Clippers and a 2028 Olympic basketball venue.
In 2026 alone, SoFi Stadium will host eight FIFA World Cup matches including the U.S. opening match on June 12. Ed Sheeran, BTS, Bruno Mars, and Gabriel Iglesias with Jo Koy are already on the calendar. The 2028 Olympics will bring swimming to SoFi and basketball to Intuit Dome. Homes in 90301, 90302, 90303, 90304, and 90305 are all within minutes of these venues.
How Unhosted Stays Work in Inglewood
90 Nights Per Year Without Being Home
Inglewood offers two types of short-term rental permits. Hosted stays mean you are home during the guest’s visit. There is no annual night cap for hosted rentals as long as each stay is 30 days or less. Unhosted stays allow you to rent your entire home without being present, up to 90 nights per calendar year in blocks of 30 days or less.
We focus on unhosted stays because they offer the best earning potential. Ninety nights is enough to cover peak event weekends, NFL games, concerts, and travel periods. Unlike Los Angeles, which caps certain home-sharing at 120 nights, Inglewood uses a 90-night cap for whole-home unhosted rentals. We help homeowners use those nights strategically to maximize revenue.
How We Prepare Your Home for Guests
We Handle the Transition So You Do Not Have To
When you are ready to travel or rent during a major event, we partner with you to secure your personal items. We then send a professional cleaning team through the home to prepare it for short-term guests. Linens, towels, and supplies are staged. The listing goes live on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Google Travel, and our direct booking site.
When the rental period ends, we reverse the process. Your home is cleaned, restocked, and returned to you in the condition you left it. This model works especially well for homeowners who travel frequently, want to earn during FIFA or the Olympics, or simply want to monetize the weekends they are out of town.
What If Your Home Does Not Qualify for STRs
Monthly Rentals Are Fully Allowed With No Night Limit
Not every home qualifies for a short-term rental permit. If your property does not meet the requirements or you prefer to avoid the permit process, 30-day monthly rentals are fully allowed in Inglewood with no annual night cap. No STR permit is needed for stays of 30 days or more.
Open Air Homes manages monthly rentals using CAR-compliant lease agreements that hold up in California courts. Many property managers rely on Airbnb contracts, which to our knowledge do not carry the same legal protections. As a licensed brokerage, we handle tenant screening, lease execution, and compliance so your home and your rights are protected.
Transparent Pricing for Inglewood Homeowners
No Hidden Fees and No Markups on Maintenance
Most homes on our platform pay a 20% commission on the accommodation fare. Homes available for a very limited window, like 3 months or less per year, pay 25%. We also charge a $125 monthly platform fee that covers software, distribution, accounting, and infrastructure for the months your home is actively listed.
We do not mark up handyman work, maintenance, or supply orders. Those costs are covered by the platform fee. See our full pricing breakdown here.
