'I've felt a massive drop.' Vacation-rental owners across the U.S. are seeing bookings coming to a screeching halt—and not because renters have disappeared.

Lilly Lazarus at one of her six vacation rental homes in Houston. Like many short-term rental homeowners, her properties have recently received fewer bookings than usual.Sabrina Must is wondering where her vacation rental bookings have gone.

“I would have made upwards of $12,000 in a month in the summer,” says Ms. Must, 37, who for just over three years has short-term rented her two-bedroom, one-bathroom property in Encinitas, Calif., a beach town located about 25 miles north of San Diego. “Any weekend I wanted to be booked during the pandemic, I was booked. It was kind of like that prepandemic. Not as busy, but still busy.”

It’s a tough call. These folks have to provide better value than the hotel industry which can be difficult. Their financial choices are their problem, no sympathy

Good. Let people live in them instead of yuppies passing through take them

Hope they end up going bankrupt and living in a cardboard box on the sidewalk.

How’s that Build Back Better lie working out for all you democrats?

👎🏼

Cut prices and fees

it's cause you're making us mow your lawn before we leave the airbnb

Climate change!!

Specific to LA; I used to love the Airb&B places but now they want to much money, do not reveal their address and charge all these add on fees, it is now cheaper to stay in a hotel with a rooftop pool and loaded with amenities.

It's because tourists are so alienated by America's Rightwing fascism, extremism & violence, they have finally decided to stay away.

Used to do Airbnb a lot but the rental costs have increased so much, its more expensive than a hotel...

MajidrezaRahnavard was executed today just a few hours ago. He was arrested 23 days ago, the court sentenced him to war against God (moharebe) 5 days after, and they murdered him today. StopExecutionInIran MahsaAmini مجیدرضا_رهنورد

People can't afford to go on vacations when theyre spending more than 50% of their income on groceries and energy.

Inflation ... Fake word. 50¢ hamburger is only $8.00 be ause of greed. It's still a 50¢ hamburger!

That's what you get for depending on rich people to run the economy in the ground on a fake basis. That's what you get for sitting on your rear drinking a cold beer.

Hmm. Food or heat or vacation rental? Decisions decisions decisions....

IRGC in Iran hanged two young men in last week, only because they protested against Islamic Republic Regime. MohsenShekari and MajidrezaRahnavard received death sentence without a lawyer in less than a month. Silence of world media will help the regime to kill more protesters.

LOL people not understanding supply and demand.

try lowering the price.

Uh, no Lilly…you didn’t HAVE to keep buying more & more houses. You’re just greedy & selfish.

Welcome to pedo joe's America...

Your headlines are contradictory. No loss of renters means no drop in demand. But supplies have increased - so, harder to find customers.

Good

No sympathy here. Hope they all lose their shirt.

Come to think of it I have been to Panama City Beach in a while

We need vacation homes to be foreclosed on, we need 2nd homes to be foreclosed on, then we need primary homes to be foreclosed on, only then can we repair this market.

Good
