South Florida short-term rentals, Apr 2026 to Oct 2026.
These are market numbers, not ours: the average across the PriceLabs comp sets of the South Florida listings we price (up to 59 in a month), each month set against the same month a year earlier. A comp set is the group of competing listings a property is priced against. Ours are mostly 4+ bed (43%) and 1-bed (41%) homes, so the rates run higher than a citywide median that includes studios and rooms.

What moves revenue in South Florida.
1. Winter is the season
Market RevPAR was $319 in April, the highest of these months, and fell to $126 by September. South Florida's peak runs from December to April, before this data starts, so the summer and autumn months are where most portfolios lose ground.
2. Summer heat cut demand
August market RevPAR fell 19% on last year, with occupancy down from 60% to 51%. In the hot months rate cuts alone rarely fill the gap; minimum stays and gap nights matter as much.
3. June held up on rate
June market RevPAR rose 16% on last year as the nightly rate climbed from $401 to $501. Early summer still pays when it is priced as its own season.
4. Guests book late out of season
The market's booking window dropped to 26 days in September, from 39 in June. Low-season pricing has to react week by week, not month by month.
5. Events and cruises move demand
The Miami Open in March, the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix in May and Art Basel Miami Beach in December are on the calendar a year ahead, and PortMiami and Port Everglades send cruise guests through every week.
