Know what it earns before you own it.
Most buyers see an asking price. We grade new listings against revenue comparables from 1,541 tracked short-term rentals — the same corpus that prices our managed portfolio nightly. Investment-grade properties land in a weekly digest, underwriting attached.
What the premium segment earns, market by market.
Public, refreshed with the snapshot. This is the teaser — graded individual listings live in the digest.
Four stages between a new listing and your inbox.
The same discipline as our revenue estimates: stated method, real comparables, no false precision.
1,541 tracked listings across 13 markets — revenue, rates, occupancy — refreshed with each snapshot. The same dataset that prices our managed portfolio.
Every new listing is geocoded and gated: inside our service radius, STR-viable type and size, no obvious disqualifiers. Most listings stop here.
Bedroom-banded comps within radius → a modeled revenue band, then the four metrics: gross yield, RevPAR percentile, comp density, occupancy headroom.
Finalists get a full comparable-level estimate and a dossier — the report our owners already receive. Grades: A investment-grade, B interesting, C pass.
What lands in your inbox when a property clears the screen.
Each digest entry is a one-page underwriting dossier: the modeled revenue band with its comp set, the four metrics, the grade, and the compliance picture for that municipality. Numbers you can forward to your lender.
- ▸Revenue band from named comparables — never a single point
- ▸Municipal STR rules for the address, from our 49-rule-set database
- ▸Estimate only — not an appraisal, not an income guarantee. Method and as-of date stamped on every page.
Buy with underwriting. Then hand us the keys.
A graded dossier lands in your digest — before most buyers know what the property would earn.
The band, the comps, and the municipal rules go into your offer decision — and to your lender. We’ll pressure-test it on a call if you want.
The same engine that modeled the purchase prices it nightly. Full management, flat rate — the fee starts when your first guest checks in.
Investor questions
Is a short-term rental a good investment in Nova Scotia?
It depends on the specific property — the same market holds listings earning several times its median. That’s why we grade individual listings against real revenue comparables instead of answering with a provincial average. The market board above shows what the premium segment earns, market by market, dated and sourced.
What makes a listing “investment-grade”?
It clears all four metrics against the corpus: gross yield on asking price, RevPAR percentile of its comparable set, comparable density backing the band, and occupancy headroom under management. Only a small fraction of new listings clear the screen.
Which Nova Scotia towns have the best STR returns?
The board above ranks all 13 tracked markets by premium-segment revenue — it’s dated, sourced to AirROI, and re-ranks with each snapshot rather than freezing an answer that goes stale.
Are the dossier numbers guaranteed?
No — they are estimates from named comparables, not appraisals or income guarantees. The method and as-of date are stamped on every dossier.
The deal flow goes to the list, not the public.
