Rate versus nights booked
In Payson the two levers move against each other. Modelled outcomes at three pricing positions:
| Pricing position | Nightly rate | Occupancy | Nights | Gross revenue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price 10% under the market | $164 | 62% | 225 | $36,874 |
| Market pricing | $182 | 55% | 201 | $36,537 |
| Price 10% over the market | $200 | 48% | 177 | $35,332 |
The trade-off uses a modelled price elasticity: a 10% price move shifts occupancy by roughly 12% in the opposite direction. Real elasticity varies by property and by season — treat this as a way to frame the decision, not a forecast.
