In this week’s Monday Market Data Report, we continue our amenity-focused series — breaking down which upgrades actually drive revenue — and this time we’re diving into Flagstaff.
Flagstaff isn’t overly saturated like some major Arizona markets, which makes strategic amenities even more powerful.
In this episode, Mark breaks down:
- How much fire pits increase annual revenue
- Why hot tubs are one of the highest ROI upgrades in this market
- The surprising revenue boost from game rooms
- Whether saunas and home gyms are worth it
- Why pickleball courts are producing massive revenue gains with almost no competition
The data reveals that several top-performing amenities exist in less than 5% of listings, yet generate tens of thousands of dollars in additional annual revenue.
If you’re investing in Flagstaff, upgrading an existing STR, or underwriting a new deal, this episode gives you a tactical advantage.
