Rate versus nights booked
In Carmel-by-the-Sea 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 | $407 | 67% | 245 | $99,829 |
| Market pricing | $452 | 60% | 219 | $98,988 |
| Price 10% over the market | $497 | 53% | 193 | $95,782 |
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.
