World Cup 2026 hasn’t kicked off yet, but the data is already moving. ⚽📈

Since the official FIFA draw on December 5, short-term rental demand has surged in some host cities, in a few cases 40x higher than last year at the same point. But here’s the key insight: there is no single “World Cup effect.”

In this episode, Uvika breaks down real@PriceLabs-DynamicPricing  booking-curve data across Mexico City, New York–New Jersey, Atlanta, Dallas, Kansas City, Miami, and Vancouver — showing how demand, pricing, regulation, and supply constraints are shaping each market differently.

You’ll learn:
• Why the draw changed booking behavior overnight
• Which cities are seeing price pressure first vs bookings first
• How regulation and supply limits are already influencing pricing power
• Why tracking your own pickup curve matters more than headlines

If you manage listings near a host city, this is your reminder: don’t set it and forget it. The curve is still forming.

World Cup 2026 Demand Is Forming Now, But Not the Same Way Everywhere
World Cup 2026 demand is already showing up in the data ⚽📈 — but not evenly.Some host cities are seeing early booking spikes, others are moving slowly, and regulation + supply constraints are shaping outcomes just as much as football. In this episode, we break down what’s actually happening across key World Cup markets — and what STR managers should watch (and adjust) now.

World Cup 2026: How Demand Is Showing Up Early Across Host Cities
Pivoting from short-term to mid-term rentals isn’t just a pricing tweak, it’s a completely different way of operating.

In this video, we break down the real shift property managers face when moving into mid-term stays: fewer bookings, longer decision cycles, and far more guest due diligence. A guest committing to a three-month stay will scrutinize everything — from internet speed to work-from-home setups — long before they book.

We also unpack how distribution changes, why platforms like Zoopla introduce an entirely new viewing and leasing process, and why this transition comes with a steep learning curve for short-term operators.

If you’re considering mid-term rentals as a hedge against regulation or market shifts, this is essential viewing before you make the move.

Short-Term vs Mid-Term Rentals: Two Very Different Operating Models
Monetizing your stays doesn’t have to mean upsells, pop-ups, or putting pressure on guests.

In this video, we break down a much smarter approach: earning more by creating small moments that guests actually appreciate — often before they even unpack.

From simple welcome gestures and thoughtful details to getting the basics perfect every single time, this is about building goodwill first… and revenue second.

If you want happier guests, better reviews, and more long-term value — without feeling salesy, this one’s for you.

How Property Managers Can Monetize Without Making Guests Feel Pushed
Your AirHost provides monthly rolling agreements to people who want to test the service. This is a convenient way for a landlord who is accustomed to operating long-term rentals and is now trying a new model to "dip their toe into the market". This approach means owners are not tied into an agreement and can try the services. If the service works financially and in other aspects, the owner can get a reduced fee and commit to a longer agreement.

The speakers, who are the owners of the business, are still heavily involved in the day-to-day operations, unlike a huge multinational company. This allows them to be flexible in their approach to all landlords. Being flexible involves listening to what people are looking for and seeing if the business can accommodate it. This flexibility sits well with many landlords and gives them a reason to try the service.

How Flexible Month to Month Agreements Help Retain Short Term Rental Owners
London’s 90-day rule forced Your AirHost to rethink everything, and that rethink changed how they grow, retain owners, and choose markets.

In this episode, we break down how the team deliberately moved beyond London, why operating outside the 90-day cap unlocked longer-term owner relationships, and how they now target specific high-yield pockets where short-term rentals massively outperform long-term lets.

From motorway corridors and airport demand to one of Europe’s largest trading estates, this is a real look at how smart market selection + flexibility turned regulation into a growth lever.

If you’re managing under tight rules or wondering where to expand next, this one’s worth your time. 🎧

How a London Property Manager Pivoted Successfully After Strict Rental Caps
Airbnb has long been seen as the platform with lower guest cancellations, especially compared to Booking.com. But that’s changing.

In this, Thibault breaks down why Airbnb is deliberately making its platform more guest-friendly and flexible, even if that means higher cancellation rates. With the removal of the Strict cancellation policy, the introduction of 24-hour grace periods, Reserve Now, Pay Later, and the upcoming shift toward date-based (dynamic) cancellation policies, Airbnb is lowering the barrier to booking on purpose.

If you’re managing short-term rentals on Airbnb and wondering why cancellations feel different, and what Airbnb is optimising for, this conversation connects the dots.

How Airbnb’s New Policies Could Drive Higher Cancellations in 2026
If your 2026 planning is already underway, this episode gives you a final data check before you lock in your strategy.

In the final #RevLabs × @RentalScaleUp  webinar of the year, Thibault Masson (Founder, RSU by PriceLabs) sits down with Richie Khandelwal (Co-Founder, PriceLabs) to break down what the real data from @PriceLabs-DynamicPricing is actually showing across the US, UK, France, Spain, and Italy.

💡They unpack why booking windows are shortening (and why reacting too early hurts revenue), how last-minute demand has structurally changed, why major 2026 events are already shaping demand, how large operators deliberately trade occupancy for stronger RevPAR, and why supply isn’t exploding. Still, professional competition is intensifying, and how listing quality directly impacts ADR and pricing power at scale.

Before You Finalize 2026 Plans: The Pricing, Demand & Supply Clues You Shouldn’t Ignore
Planning for 2026 without fully understanding what actually happened in 2025 is risky.

In this final RevLabs × Rental Scale-Up webinar of the year, Thibault Masson (Founder, @RentalScaleUp ) is joined by Richie Khandelwal (Co-Founder, PriceLabs) to break down what the data, not anecdotes, is already telling large short-term rental operators.

Using real @PriceLabs-DynamicPricing market data across the US, UK, France, Spain, and Italy, this session focuses specifically on large property managers (100+ listings) and the strategic adjustments they should be making now, before locking in 2026 plans.

What you’ll learn in this webinar:

• Why booking windows are shortening, and why reacting too early is hurting revenue
• How last-minute demand has structurally changed (and what “last-minute” really means now)
• Why major 2026 events (Olympics, Super Bowl, FIFA World Cup) are already shaping demand
• How large property managers deliberately trade occupancy for stronger RevPAR
• Why the supply isn’t exploding, but professional competition is intensifying
• How listing quality directly impacts ADR and pricing power at scale + how Listing Optimizer can help improve listing quality, and more.

You’ll also hear practical guidance on pricing discipline, benchmarking correctly, event strategy, and why listing content quality has become a baseline requirement, not a differentiator.
