Hi @Matthew285,
Very good analysis!
And I think you have taken the right city. As the deviation worldwide was not that big (I think, my analysis showed only a decrease of about 6 worldwide, during a 3 week period).
I would expect that even with a completely blocked calendar, these listings would still show up – when you do not fill in any date, upon selection.
Obviously when a listing is either snoozed or deactivated, it won’t come up.
But then again, why would a Plus listing be snoozed? But maybe this is the way of working of these hosts, when they hit their city limit for max nights rented a year.
As snoozing would avoid a listing to be available to be put in someone’s wishlist.
I do not completely understand your remark on: 3 are "Whole Home" listings, and 1 is a Private Room.
As Private Rooms can be Plus, as long as they have an ensuite bathroom.
Lizzie told me a couple of days ago: "I'm not sure how long the process is taking at the moment, there was a rise in applications when it was first launched".
This is what we know now:
- It took Airbnb over 2 years to pilot the Plus program in 13 cities on some 2,000 properties, under the name ‘Airbnb Select’.
- The public announcement was 2 months ago.
I can imagine, Airbnb got an overwhelming amount of requests for properties to be put unto the program (already from other existing listings in these 13 cities). So at the moment the throughput time to become Plus, is something around 2 months or more.
Furthermore I can imagine, that ‘dropouts’ may only occur, during the first 2 weeks of each quarter (as a result of the Superhost evaluation; Although Plus and Superhost are not entirely interconnected).
There are other cities around the globe with max nights stayed regulations. It could be possible that London and Barcelona have something like that as well. I do not have an exact list.
And @Rebecca181, Yes I’ve also seen that post too of someone saying they were waiting for months on the completion of their Plus application.
