Rate versus nights booked
In Columbus 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 | $149 | 67% | 245 | $36,547 |
| Market pricing | $165 | 60% | 219 | $36,135 |
| Price 10% over the market | $182 | 53% | 193 | $35,075 |
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.
