Bradenton/Anna Maria area / major booking slow-down

[Gabrielle423]

Been superhosting for 3 years, but I am new to Bradenton/Anna Maria area. Our new property has been booked almost solid 90%+ occupancy… then April we have only 3 shorter length bookings. Is this normal for this time of year here in Florida? Slow down for late spring/summer?

@Gabrielle423 Sounds like you're probably encountering a slow season period. If that's the case it might be good to start discounting your rates to match the market. Also have a look at your booking lead time and present/future occupancy rates; Based on these numbers you would be able to predict when a drought is on the way quicker so you know how to adjust your rates 🙂

Yep, we redid photos and lowered pricing considerably plus updated listing description & some other info just to see if traction would pump up. Fingers crossed!!
