Which Property Types Perform Best?

When it comes to property types, the size of the property is usually the biggest factor. This is most commonly represented by the number of bedrooms. In some cases, the number of beds or bathrooms can matter too, but across most markets bedroom count explains demand the best.

The next important factor is amenities. Pools are often the most impactful, followed by views, outdoor space (balcony or terrace), and hot tubs. Depending on the type of guest a property targets, practical amenities such as kitchens, laundry, or parking can also play an important role — especially for longer stays.
