Short-Term Rental Market 2026: Data Shows a Comeback AirDNA Economist

In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, Kathy Fettke sits down with the Chief Economist at AirDNA to break down what's really happening in the short-term rental market in 2026. After years of rapid growth, the Airbnb market has gone through a major reset. Occupancy rates declined as new supply flooded the market. But now, the data is showing signs of a comeback. You'll learn why short-term rental demand is still strong globally, how slowing supply growth is helping stabilize returns, and which markets are seeing the biggest opportunities right now. From U.S. trends to international hotspots, this episode covers where investors are winning—and where risks still remain. If you've been wondering whether Airbnb investing is still worth it in 2026, this episode will give you the data-backed insights you need. ☀️🏠 Would you like to come to our event?
