Rate versus nights booked
In Boston 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 | $254 | 76% | 278 | $70,608 |
| Market pricing | $282 | 68% | 248 | $69,992 |
| Price 10% over the market | $310 | 60% | 218 | $67,709 |
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.
