Your city capped short-term rentals: what to do before you sell

The 30-day pivot, and what it actually costs you

The economics change too, and honestly, not always for the worse. Nightly rates drop; so do turnover costs, cleaning, linen, platform commission, guest communication volume, and the wear that thirty check-ins a season inflicts on a property. We do not promise any level of income from either model — nobody credibly can — but we do tell owners to compare the two on net, after costs and after realistic occupancy, rather than on headline nightly rate, which flatters short stays.

The order we work in when a market closes

• Check the waiting list first. In frozen markets it is genuinely a queue, and joining it costs little. Owners who skip this step and sell often discover the queue moved two years later.
• Re-verify annually. Caps get raised, lowered, litigated and repealed. A closed market is a snapshot, not a verdict — our atlas entries carry the date they were last checked for exactly that reason.
