📊 Short-Term Rental Trends in Crosslake: What You Need to Know! 📊

As national STR data shifts, Crosslake can gain some serious insights into market dynamics! Here's what recent trends might mean for our area:

✨ Demand & Calendar Quirks: Nationally, September saw slower YOY demand growth due to the Labor Day calendar shift. In Crosslake, this trend could mean fewer post-summer bookings and underscores the importance of adjusting marketing to maximize those key holiday weekends.

🌲 Small City & Rural Wins: Unlike Urban or Mountain/Lake areas, rural destinations like Crosslake are THRIVING! Nationally, rural STR demand surged by 10.3% YOY, driven by travelers seeking outdoor adventures and peaceful getaways. Crosslake's natural appeal keeps us competitive with these rising trends in rural destinations.

💰 Occupancy & ADR Shifts: Although occupancy dipped slightly YOY (-4%) nationally, rural areas like Crosslake still outperform larger cities. For us, staying competitive may mean occasional rate adjustments, as well as playing up our unique nature-driven experiences to attract longer stays.

🌄 Key Takeaway: This is the moment for Crosslake STR owners to lean into our unique charm—think lakeside tranquility, outdoor activities, and friendly community vibes.

PSA: If you're using Apple's "Find My" app to share locations and notice that some folks are no longer sharing their location with you—or vice versa—an update might be behind this change. To resolve it, just remove the person from your list, which will stop location sharing. Then add them back again. This simple approach tends to fix the issue most of the time. I guess Apple is really committed to our privacy and security, whether we like it or not!

Happy National Roundabout Day, Crosslake! The perfect day to remind everyone that when it comes to complaining about the new roundabout, we all just keep going in circles... literally and figuratively. But hey, at least it'll give everyone something to talk about when they inevitably miss their turn. Guess it's time to decide if we’re progressing or just stuck spinning our wheels!

(Feel free to share your thoughts—especially if you're still stuck in the turn lane!)

📊 The US short-term rental market is heating up! May saw a surge in demand and a slowdown in supply, hinting at a promising summer. 🌞 Coastal and rural areas are leading the charge, while urban markets face hurdles. Key highlights:

- Demand up by 10% 📈
- Supply growth slowed to 3% 🏠👌
- Occupancy rates improving steadily 📅

These are all good indicators for owners and managers as we should continue to see a rebound in ADR as higher interest rates and operating costs are keeping new inventory from coming on the market.

Ready for a bustling season ahead! 🚀
