Methodology

How We Calculate It

Our estimates are built from real market data, not national averages. Austin is a unique short-term rental market, and we treat it that way.

01
Live Austin Market Comparables
We pull current performance data from comparable properties in the same neighborhood and bedroom tier: occupancy rates, average daily rates, and seasonal patterns. Not national benchmarks.
02
Austin Event Calendar
SXSW, ACL, Formula 1 at COTA, UT game weekends, and Austin City Limits create meaningful demand spikes. A quality estimate accounts for these surges. They can represent 30–40% of annual revenue in peak windows.
03
Regulatory Context
Austin's STR regulations affect which properties can legally operate and on what terms. We factor licensing, zoning, and the July 2026 platform enforcement deadline into every estimate, because compliance directly affects earnings potential.
04
Seasonal Demand Curves
Austin demand fluctuates month-to-month. Our estimates model the full 12-month revenue curve, not just peak season, so you see what the property earns on average, not just its best weekend.
05
Multi-Platform Revenue Modeling
We model revenue across Airbnb, VRBO, and direct booking channels, because platform mix affects both occupancy and effective rate. Relying on a single platform leaves money on the table.
06
Human Review
Every estimate is reviewed by a member of the Black Key team before it reaches you. We do not send automated outputs. If your property has unusual characteristics, we account for them, because the market does too.

Common questions about the estimate.

"Is this going to be a generic number pulled from an API?"

No. Every estimate is reviewed by a Black Key team member before it reaches you. We account for your property's specific location, type, and the current state of the Austin market.

Learn About Full Management
Our estimates are built from current Austin market data and comparable property performance. They represent realistic revenue ranges for well-managed properties, not best-case projections. Your final estimate, delivered by a team member, will be refined with property-specific context.
No. The estimate is completely free and requires zero commitment. It is a starting point for an honest conversation about what your property could realistically earn. Nothing more. We will never pressure you into a decision.
Within one business day. A member of the Black Key team personally reviews your property before sending the analysis. We do not send generic automated outputs.
That is completely fine. Many of our best-performing properties were not previously listed at all. We will assess the opportunity based on comparable active listings in your area and give you a realistic view of what's achievable from a cold start.
Yes, and this is one of the most common situations we work with. Underperforming listings are often a pricing, presentation, or operational issue, not a property issue. We will assess where the gap is and what it would take to close it.
We work on a percentage of collected revenue, so our incentives are aligned with yours. The specifics depend on your property and management scope. We cover all of this clearly in our first conversation, before you make any decision.
