We create compsets based on bedroom count, size, quality, and segment.
These represent recent earnings for listings in your area.
- The number “25” shows listings with revenue in the 0-25th percentiles over recent months.
- The number “50” shows listings with revenue in the 25th-50th percentiles over recent months.
- The number “75” shows listings with revenue in the 50st-75th percentiles over recent months.
- The number “100” shows listings with revenue in the 75th-100th percentiles over recent months.
That shows the confirmed reservations and upcoming rates for your competitive cohort.
Our comp data consists of upcoming rates and confirmed reservations.
- The Current view shows the middle 50% of 7-day RevPAR moving averages for past dates and the middle 50% of published rates for future dates. It’s intended to give you a feel of market fluctuations at a glance.
- The Clouds view shows more detail. It displays all confirmed reservations and upcoming rates for a given performance percentile.
We identify your segment, set a rate range based on current conditions in that segment, adjust your rate based on historical trends, and recalculate rates every one to three days.
- Calendar Characteristics: For booked dates we read reservation dates, value, and source. For available dates we read upcoming rates, calendar availability, and minimum stay length.
- Listing Characteristics: Room count, capacity, latitude and longitude.
- We do not collect personal information, guest data, or anything else from your system. We have no use for it.
Buoy can edit your rates, minimum stay length, calendar availability and note.
