The average daily rate fell 25 percent from August 2025 to $215 per night. Active listings also dropped, decreasing by nearly 26 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Even with those declines, occupancy and revenue each increased year over year as of August, a sign that demand for Austin trips remains strong.<\/p>\n<p>Eric Goldreyer, founder and CEO of Savvy.com, said he has seen a similar trend in his company\u2019s research, with fewer properties available but higher occupancy per property.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re seeing that the number of properties in Austin has decreased in the double digits down in the 15 to 20 percent range, which is interesting,\u201d Goldreyer said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cbsaustin.com\/news\/local\/bastrop-city-council-votes-unanimously-to-decommission-flock-camera-system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ALSO | Bastrop City Council votes unanimously to decommission Flock camera system<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cWe\u2019re also seeing that occupancy per property is up nearly 15 percent. So I think people are still fine in Austin.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Goldreyer said his team did not yet have full numbers for Labor Day, but said the Fourth of July was the last major holiday with complete data available and \u201cit looked like occupancy was up about 12 percent per property here in Austin.\u201d He also said September appeared to be \u201ctrending well in Austin as well,\u201d based on early indications.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, Goldreyer said Austin typically sees strong demand around major events, including F1 and Austin City Limits which he said bring tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people.<\/p>\n<p>He said he expects occupancy and demand to rise around those events, while noting that rates have been \u201ca little soft,\u201d even as supply has dropped. Goldreyer said some hosts and property managers may be setting prices intentionally to boost occupancy and overall revenue, even if it means accepting a lower nightly rate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think what we&#8217;re seeing is property managers and professionals that do this for a living,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And even the gig folks are just trying to be very intentional about setting their price to get the occupancy that they&#8217;re trying to shoot for to increase their overall revenue, even if it means taking a little bit less on a nightly rate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also encouraged travelers planning to visit for major events to book early.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AUSTIN, Texas \u2014 As major fall events like Austin City Limits and Formula One approach, new data shows&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":430666,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133],"class_list":["post-430665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430665\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/430666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
