Manage episode 438137362 series 2807584
As cities across the country grapple with the rise of platforms like Airbnb and VRBO, the implications for the property industry are becoming more complex. How do you accurately value a property that doubles as a business? What happens when local regulations change?
Despite the lingering questions in the industry, the rising demand for vacation homes and the allure of short-term rental platforms have carved out a significant niche in the market.
However, their increasing popularity brings new challenges, particularly for appraisers, lenders, and underwriters who must navigate the complexities of valuing these unique assets.
As housing affordability concerns grow and the U.S. faces a persistent housing shortage, some communities are clamping down on short-term rentals and imposing stricter regulations. Yet, despite these restrictions, short-term rentals are far from disappearing. Instead, they’re evolving, requiring a fresh approach to property valuation that considers not just the physical attributes of a home, but its potential as a revenue-generating business.
