By The Numbers: 2025 in Review
How We Outperform 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.

💬 Los Angeles Vacation Rentals FAQ
1. Is Los Angeles a good city for vacation rentals year-round?
Yes—Los Angeles has one of the most consistent rental markets in the country. Thanks to its mild climate, entertainment industry, and global appeal, LA properties can remain occupied in every season, unlike more seasonal destinations.
2. How do the 2028 Olympics affect the rental market?
The Olympics are already driving infrastructure improvements and growing travel interest, which will continue to boost property values and rental demand through 2028 and beyond. Homes listed now are well positioned to benefit from this momentum.
While Los Angeles is excited about the Olympic Games, we are fortnuate to see year-round demand for our homes.
3. What types of rentals are allowed in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles allows short-term rentals (under 30 days) only if the property is your primary residence and you have a Home-Sharing Permit. For all other properties, monthly rentals (30+ days) are fully legal and often more profitable with reduced wear and tear.
4. Do monthly rentals earn less than short-term rentals?
Not necessarily. Monthly rentals often attract business travelers, relocating professionals, and digital nomads. These guests stay longer, require less turnover, and typically treat the home with more care—producing steady income with fewer operational demands.
When priced properly, your home can achieve similar occupancy to that of our short term rental inventory.
5. How does Open Air Homes keep my property booked?
Our LA homes average 76% occupancy for 2024 and early 2025, far above the 45.6% city average. We accomplish this through dynamic pricing, strategic calendar management, A/B-tested listings, and on-the-ground teams that respond quickly to guest needs.
6. Can I rent my home only part of the year?
Absolutely. We work with many homeowners who only want to rent when they’re away. Many of our homeowner partners vacation in Europe for the summer, and list only when they are gone for 2-4 months. Whether it’s a few months or full-year coverage, we tailor the plan to your personal schedule and goals.
7. How does Open Air Homes handle LA rental regulations?
We’ve managed hundreds of homes across Los Angeles since 2012 and understand every nuance of local compliance. Our team provides step-by-step guidance through the STR permitting process and can help you transition to monthly rentals if needed.
