Monday Market Data: Breakdown of Flagstaff, Az Market
•
Taylor Jones & Mark Lumpkin
It’s time for another Monday Morning Market Data Report — and this week we’re breaking down Flagstaff, Arizona.
Mark walks through what the numbers actually say across 3-bed, 4-bed, 5-bed, and 6+ bedroom STRs, including how revenue, ADR, and occupancy shift as you scale up in size. And what makes this one interesting: Flagstaff looks like a “middle-of-the-country” baseline market… until you hit the bigger homes.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What a “typical” 3-bedroom in Flagstaff earns vs. a top performer
- Why 4-bed homes can earn more even with slightly lower occupancy (and why that’s not a bad thing)
- The real value of adding a 5th bedroom — and when it becomes a revenue multiplier
- The wildest data point in this report: 6+ bedrooms nearly doubling 5-bedroom top-end revenue
- How to use percentile data to set realistic revenue targets before you buy
If you’re trying to decide what size property you need to hit your STR goals — and whether it’s worth stretching into a bigger home — this Flagstaff breakdown makes it crystal clear.
