Celebrating One Year of STR Data Lab with Paralee Walls

In this milestone episode, Jamie Lane sits down with co-host Paralee Walls, VP of Marketing at AirDNA, to celebrate the first anniversary of STR Data Lab. To celebrate, we've curated a special journey through the top 12 key industry topics that have captivated our audience over the past year.

We kick off by revisiting the origins of the podcast, before debunking the widely circulated "Airbnbust" narrative. We also unpack the looming recession talk, and spotlight AirDNA's innovative new products along with the game-changing acquisition of Arrivalist. Our discussion then shifts to landmark events shaping our sector—from the introduction of NYC regulations and changes in cleaning fees due to customer feedback, to the noticeable decrease in investments driven by rising interest rates.

Jamie caps off this special episode by laying out his predictions for what the landscape could look like in the year ahead.

This isn't just another episode—it's a celebration of a year of insights, dialogue, and transformation in the short-term rental space. Trust us, you won't want to miss it!

September U.S. Market Review with Bram Gallagher

In this week's episode, Jamie sits down with Bram Gallagher, a fellow economist at AirDNA. Together, they unpack September's U.S. market data and share a pulse check on the industry as we navigate the year's final quarter.

After August's industry-wide dips, September brought welcome surprises. Demand rose to 12.2%, and revenue increased to 15.1%, signaling that last month's downturn was more of a blip than a trend. However, we've now seen 19 months of continuous decline in occupancy, although recent figures suggest we're on the mend—moving from -4.2% to -1.2% compared to 2019 levels. ADRs are also bouncing back, with a 2.6% upswing.

Jamie and Bram then set their focus on pivotal economic indicators, providing a rich context to understand the market’s trajectory. A robust job report keeps unemployment stable at 3.8%, which could prompt the FED to reconsider interest rates. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East could exert pressure on energy prices, possibly leading to inflation. On a brighter note, as the U.S. dollar eases, we're witnessing a rebound in foreign travel—now accounting for 7.4% of total exports, up from 6.5% earlier this year.

Jamie and Bram also shed light on upcoming indicators like the CPI report and what they mean for future occupancy rates.
