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.

LA’s STR Rules Apply to Westwood Rentals
Permit Requirements and Monthly Rental Alternatives
Westwood falls under LA’s Home-Sharing Ordinance. You can host short-term rentals (under 30 days) only if the property is your primary residence and you register for a Home-Sharing Permit.
Don’t qualify? No problem. We manage legal monthly rentals starting at 30 days. These longer bookings often result in lower wear and tear, longer lead times, and reliable income.
Omni-Channel Exposure for Maximum Bookings

We maximize exposure by listing on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Google Travel, plus our direct website.
We publish every home across major platforms, filtered for both short-term and 30+ day guests. Our team optimizes each listing for visibility, conversions, and search performance.

💬 List Your Westwood Home: FAQ
1. Are short-term rentals allowed in Westwood?
Yes — but only if you meet the requirements of the City of Los Angeles Home Sharing Ordinance (HSO). You must live in the home as your primary residence, register for a Home Sharing Permit, and comply with additional city regulations. If you don’t meet these qualifications or prefer to avoid the permitting process, we focus on fully legal 30+ night stays, which don’t require a permit and are managed using CAR-compliant leases through our brokerage.
2. What’s included in your monthly rental service?
Our team provides end-to-end rental management, including listing setup, photography, dynamic pricing via PriceLabs, guest communication, cleaning oversight, and CAR lease creation. You remain hands-off while we handle operations, guest logistics, and legal compliance.
3. Can I lease my home long-term instead of monthly?
Yes. Open Air Homes is a licensed California brokerage (DRE #02164159) and can manage both monthly rentals and 12-month leases. We’ll list your home on the MLS, screen tenants, and use CAR forms to ensure everything is handled legally and professionally.
4. What types of renters are looking for homes in Westwood?
Westwood attracts UCLA faculty, medical residents, visiting families, international students, and business travelers. Guests are often looking for quiet, walkable neighborhoods near campus, the Village, and the Westwood medical corridor, and they prefer well-furnished homes with parking and air conditioning.
5. What can I earn renting my Westwood home monthly?
Most of our furnished Westwood homes earn 20–30% more than traditional unfurnished leases, especially during academic cycles or relocation season. Homes with modern finishes, proximity to campus, or flexible layouts (like a guest house or home office) tend to book quickly and command premium rates.
6. What if I only want to rent seasonally or part of the year?
That works perfectly. Many of our Westwood clients live in their homes during the school year or summer, and rent it out during gaps. You control the calendar — we block off your dates and fill the rest with vetted monthly renters, ideal for travel, sabbaticals, or dual-city living.
7. What makes your monthly rental model unique?
We pair licensed real estate compliance with a hospitality-first approach. That means legal leasing through our brokerage, high-quality cleanings, hands-on guest support, and vendor coordination — all designed to protect your home while generating reliable income.
8. How do you set pricing for Westwood homes?
We combine PriceLabs dynamic pricing, Zillow comps, Airbnb market trends, and over 14 years of booking history to price your home competitively. Our Broker of Record reviews every lease, ensuring your rental rate is both legal and aligned with current demand.
