Rate versus nights booked
In Houston 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 | $169 | 69% | 253 | $42,834 |
| Market pricing | $188 | 62% | 226 | $42,544 |
| Price 10% over the market | $207 | 55% | 199 | $41,223 |
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.
