Best STR Markets In 2022!

While 2021 was filled with hope and optimism for the industry, 2022 is going to be even better for travel and short-term rentals alike.

As more people and their children are getting vaccinated, they are also gaining confidence in traveling and have started to make plans.

And in November 2021, the US lifted its international travel ban and re-opened its borders to fully vaccinated foreign tourists.

Because of these trends, this year is bound to be a booming time for travel, and investors who have been thinking of buying a short-term rental for sale should do it now.

If you are one of these investors and want to know which cities have the highest profit potential for short-term rentals in 2022, here they are!

#1 Hammond, LA

#2 Harrison Township, OH

#3 Black River, NY

#4 Creve Coeur, IL

#5 Pineville, MO

#6 Marshall, Missouri

#7 St. Robert, MO

#8 Parkersburg, WV

#9 Folcroft, PA

#10 Corydon, IN

Do you agree?

This is an odd list. Do you have sources you can provide? I am not sure why you would travel to Harrison Township, Ohio for example.

I live in Parkersburg, WV.  While we have a moderate amount of tourism, I don't think we are even at the top of the list for tourism in the state.  Could you explain the metrics behind this list?

#10 - Corydon, IN ??

It's literally in the middle of nowhere southern Indiana. I can think of 10 cities/towns better suited for STR's with lots of outdoor activities.

I would think that the top STR investment markets would be places that a ton of people travel to year after year. These seem pretty niche unless there is development in these areas that I'm not aware of.

I disagree with this list... I have lived in Ohio my entire life, ran STR's and have not heard of Harrison Township. Would love to know where you got this data

This list completely confuses me. Never heard of any of these "hotspots." I am not in agreement that these have the highest profit potential for STR. I have many clients with STRs who would absolutely disagree.

I grew up near Creve Coeur, IL. There is literally NO reason for anyone to go there. That said, whatever algorithm that's calculating this probably has a little STR rental data and matches extremely low prices to create favorable ratios.

Do you agree?


 I didn't flag this only because you have 300+ posts.

Looks like complete hogwash. 

Please respond to prior inquiries as to sources...

Looks like original post refers to this list on mashvisor. Pretty confusing list.

The original post presented as a "Top 10" list, something that was never intended to be a top 10.  The criterion used to make that list is very involved in the context of the article.
