Rate versus nights booked
In Seattle 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 | $223 | 74% | 270 | $60,167 |
| Market pricing | $248 | 66% | 241 | $59,743 |
| Price 10% over the market | $273 | 58% | 212 | $57,874 |
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.
