Booking Windows Shorten Across US Markets, Key Data Reports

1/26/2026

Key Data reports that the U.S. vacation rental market entered 2026 with softer early demand but stable pricing, indicating a shift toward later booking rather than weakening travel appetite. Early paid occupancy is running 5–6% below last year in January and February, narrowing to 3% in March, while average daily rates are 2–4% higher year on year. Forward RevPAR is down in January but stabilizes in February and turns slightly positive by March. Booking windows and average length of stay continue to shorten. Regional results are mixed, with strong RevPAR growth in the Mid-Atlantic, New England, and the West.
