How we measure, and what we refuse to guess

Everything on this site comes from public listing pages read on a schedule. No panel, no partner feed, no model filling the gaps. This page says exactly what that gives you and what it cannot.

The measuring pass

01
Read the page

We open public listing pages for the city you scan and record the asking price, night by night.

02
Throw out the edges

The top and bottom quartile go, so one mispriced penthouse cannot drag a neighbourhood median.

03
Match the calendar

Confirmed public events, holidays and school breaks are joined to the nights they cover.

04
Date the number

Each figure is stored with the timestamp it was read at, and the site prints that date next to it.

Definitions

TermWhat it means hereWhat it is not
Median night Middle asking price across measured entire-place listings for that night An average, or a price anyone paid
Occupancy Share of nights unavailable across measured listings Booked nights — blocks look the same from outside
Lift Event-week median against a normal week in the same month A forecast for next year's edition
Comparable Same city, bedroom count and guest capacity Anything a host manually marks as a rival
Measured Read off a live public page on a stated date Estimated, modelled or partner-supplied
Unknown Printed when no comparable week exists yet Zero

Why some cities are missing

A city needs 150 measured entire-place listings before it appears. Below that the median swings on one or two properties, and a number that precise would be wrong in a way you could not see. Cities under the line sit in a queue and go live the night they cross it.

The same threshold applies to a ZIP code inside a covered city, and to an event: a lift is published only when a comparable normal week exists to measure it against. Otherwise it reads unknown.

Known limits
We cannot see bookings
No scraper can. Anything claiming booked revenue is modelling it.
Small markets read noisier
With only a handful of comparable listings, one host's change moves the whole median.
New events read unknown
A first-year festival has no comparable week, so the lift stays blank.
Prices move after we read
A host can change a rate an hour after our pass. The timestamp tells you how stale it is.
