Rate versus nights booked
In Lancaster 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 | 64% | 233 | $38,215 |
| Market pricing | $182 | 57% | 208 | $37,865 |
| Price 10% over the market | $200 | 50% | 183 | $36,617 |
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.
