Listen " Airbnb Fee Update "
Episode Synopsis
This week Luke is coming to you with a bonus episode he is calling Short Term Shop News! Luke breaks down Airbnb’s move to a single 15.5% host-only service fee starting October 27 and what it means for pricing, advising PMS users to raise Airbnb rates ~15.5% to keep payouts flat. Joined by Chuck Kramer and Avery Carl, the crew weighs consumer sentiment and competitive dynamics (VRBO’s lower take vs. potential price moves), plus cautions hosts to watch accounting on bookings straddling the change and consider “all-in pricing” as a short-term marketing edge.
