Overview
Park City experienced a nuanced market dynamic based on the November performance metrics. While Average Daily Rate (ADR) showed a modest 1.56% increase from $192 in 2023 to $195 in 2024, the overall revenue performance was impacted by a notable decline in occupancy. The occupancy rate dropped from 9.50% in 2023 to 8.90% in 2024, representing a 6.32% year-over-year decrease. This reduction, potentially influenced by the 2024 election week and Thanksgiving falling in the last week of the month, contributed to a more significant 15.00% decline in Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR), which fell from $20 to $17. Despite the consistent weather conditions supporting ski resort operations, these factors collectively suggest a challenging month for our rental portfolio’s financial performance.

In conclusion, the November 2024 performance statistics underscore the delicate balance between pricing strategy and market demand in the Park City vacation rental sector.
