How Emily Turned Airbnb Market Research Into a Shared Property Search
Name changed. Based on customer correspondence.
Emily’s first useful output from Airbtics was a dashboard of cities her husband could explore.
The couple were beginning their search for a short-term rental property. Emily had been using Airbtics to research opportunities and wanted to organise the locations they were interested in so her husband could investigate them too.
It gave their search a shared starting point: a set of cities to explore before progressing to individual properties.
Beginning with locations
An Airbnb property search involves decisions at several levels. There is the destination, the neighbourhood and, eventually, the property itself. Early market research helps give that search a geographic focus.
Emily was working at that first level.
She used Airbtics to investigate short-term rental opportunities and brought together cities that interested her and her husband. Her dashboard captured those locations in a form he could explore.
The immediate purpose was to support the beginning of their search. They had places they wanted to understand better, and Emily was organising the research around them.
Making the research useful to both people
Researching an investment together means making information useful to another person.
Emily’s dashboard connected the work she was doing with her husband’s involvement in the search. He could explore the cities she had gathered and begin his own investigation from that starting point.
That is a practical role for market research early in the process. A collection of interesting locations gives the people involved something concrete to examine as they consider where to focus their attention.
Emily had turned her initial exploration into a resource for the next person participating in the decision.
Keeping the research proportionate to the search
Because the couple were still exploring, the cost of research also mattered.
In her September 2026 feedback, Emily highlighted being able to keep costs down while using Airbtics. She valued the support it provided at the beginning of their property search, when they were still investigating opportunities.
Her reported benefit was specific: she had researched rental opportunities, created a dashboard of cities and made those locations available for her husband to explore.
The next part of the search would build on that work. They now had a shared starting point for investigating the places where they might eventually look for a short-term rental property.
