Washington County Airbnb

[Phil Baker]

I live in Utah County, Utah. I’m interested in doing Airbnb in Washington County, Utah. wondering what your opinion is on current trends and the future. Also curious if anyone would know vacancy and rent rates. I’m very interested in making a purchase there if it makes sense. Any recommendations on agents, property management companies (specifically dealing in Airbnb). Any information Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi @Phil Baker!  Happy New Year!  

I know nothing about Washington County, UT but according to Everbooked and for Hurricane specifically you are looking at Occupancy Rates of about 78% and ADR's of $151 at a very high level scope.  Avg residential price is $227k so you are at a revenue/price ratio of 18.9%!  That's pretty awesome if those numbers are even somewhat accurate. 

Like any data resource though, trust but verify and make sure those numbers are accurate via a property management company and local realtor and especially be cognizant of any short term regulations and/or pending legislation that might be going on in the area as well. 

I've always wanted to go to Zion so if you pull the trigger be sure to share your new place!  

Cheers and best of luck to you!
