OMG Honey , it's just not only you and your area . As baffling as it is and as targeted as it seems its apparently epidemic and widespread nationally .
I opened in August. Stayed steadily Booked with no time for even a breath between guests . On the first of January , it was announced I had achieved super host status. As if prearranged, it's fallen silent . Not but one 0r two inquiries I'm near positive Were bogus or nair de wells flying under the radar. Naturally , those were a firm 'No .' From Christmas Day onward , crickets chirping , dust blowing and spaghetti western theme songs playing in the back ground . This entire area of the Permian Basin has all but fallen silent . It doesnt seem to pick and Choose . Nobody in our general area is renting. Even the stray overnighter has become a rare occurrenc. I've spoken to other hosts in this area . Nobody's doing much better. The guest has become a rare bird . My guests were predominantly associated with the local refinery's, pipelines and wind farms that flourish here . As far as I can tell all these are still thriving. They just arent booking their people with Air B n B . Its widespread. Following suggestions and tweaking My stays daily has had no effect. I feel it's something we will Have to wait out. It's quite devastating in so many levels. it will turn around but at its own choosing . we have to wait it out I suppose or get that part time position weve all been avoiding and dodging. As if this time of year isnt trying and stressful enough on the majority of the population. This to shall pass . Hang in there is the best I have to offer.
