Skift Take
The U.S. vacation and short-term rental market has seen its supply growth rate drop in half over two years. It's like watching a sprinter decide to take up power walking.
The growth of the U.S. vacation rental and short-term rental supply has been decelerating, and the trend will likely continue next year as some properties convert to long-term rentals because of an ongoing housing shortage.
Key Data reported that supply growth in the U.S. remains strong at approximately 10% this year. But that's a significant slowdown from about 20% growth two years ago. (The analytics firm collects data from 150,000 properties.)
"U.S. vacation rental and short-term rental supply growth may continue to slow in 2025 and 2026, as some units are converted to long-term rentals and migrant-focused corporate housing," wrote analysts at Truist Securities in a report Monday.
