The power of data: How we develop winning pricing strategies

At the core of Naya Homes’ success is a sophisticated pricing methodology that relies on comprehensive data analysis. By leveraging industry data from major OTAs like Airbnb, Booking.com, AirDNA market data, as well as its own sources, Naya Homes crafts personalized pricing strategies tailored to each unit. Here’s how it works: 

1. Scraping data from OTAs

Naya Homes uses proprietary scraping technologies to gather crucial information from key online travel platforms. This process involves capturing data on availability, reservations, and unit characteristics for all listings on platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com. By downloading public data, Naya Homes’ data science team can create detailed data frames that provide real-time market insights. These insights form the foundation of the pricing strategies that are specific to each unit.

Why this matters: Having access to real-time market data allows Naya Homes to stay ahead of the competition, ensuring that their pricing strategies are always aligned with the current market conditions. This dynamic approach means that homeowners can consistently achieve higher occupancy rates and increased revenue.

2. Building geofences and unit clusters

Once the data is collected, Naya Homes takes it a step further by building geofences and unit clusters. By analyzing data from tourism, real estate, and online travel agencies (OTAs), Naya Homes categorizes units based on location. This categorization allows for a more refined analysis by grouping units according to their type, the number of bedrooms, and available amenities.

Some questions Naya Homes answers during this process include:

  • What are the characteristics of the unit’s location?
  • What type of tourism is attracted to this area?
  • How large is the unit, and what spaces does it include?
  • Is the unit a condo, house, villa, or another type?
  • What is the unit’s capacity in terms of bedrooms and bathrooms?
  • What amenities and services are available to guests?

Why this matters: By clustering units with similar characteristics, Naya Homes can develop competitive sets that are specific to each property. This targeted approach ensures that pricing is not just based on market trends but is also tailored to the unique features and location of each unit, further maximizing revenue potential.

3. Developing personalized pricing

With a detailed understanding of each unit’s competitive landscape, Naya Homes crafts a pricing strategy that is both personalized and data-driven. This strategy is grounded in key market indicators, insights from competitors, and projected occupancy rates.

Why this matters: Personalized pricing strategies allow Naya Homes to optimize revenue for each homeowner by ensuring that their property is priced competitively. This approach not only attracts more bookings but also maximizes the value of each reservation, leading to higher overall revenue.

  • OTA and visibility optimization: Enhancing the online presence of the units on key travel platforms to attract more bookings.
  • Discount & rules strategy: Implementing strategic discounts and booking rules to encourage longer stays and fill gap nights.
  • Management of previous bookings: Ensuring that existing reservations were honored, while optimizing the calendar for future bookings.
  • Gap night optimization: Strategically pricing and promoting gap nights to minimize downtime between reservations.
  • Pricing strategy development: Crafting a tailored pricing strategy that maximized revenue by aligning prices with market conditions.

Results

Naya Homes’ efforts led to a triple-digit year-over-year (YoY) increase in revenue per available unit (RevPAU) for the portfolio, which surpassed 2022 revenue levels by March 2023.
