The Comparables Tool helps you analyse the competitive landscape for short-term rental properties. Find comparable properties to your listing (or a property you're considering), track their performance over time, and benchmark your results against the competition. This tool is essential for investors, property managers, landlords, and sourcing agents who need to understand market dynamics and validate investment opportunities.

The updated Comparables Tool includes powerful new features:

The algorithm behind the tool remains the same, so you can trust the automatic selections or customise them to your preferences.

When you first access the tool, you'll see a table of all your saved compsets. From here you can:

If you're happy with the automatic selection, simply click Review Performance in the top right to skip straight to the analytics.

If you want to customise, you can:

Remove properties - Click the delete button next to any property you don't want included. Common reasons:

Add properties - Browse available comparables and click the plus button to add them to your compset. Added properties turn purple to show they're included.

Filter available comparables - Use the filters to narrow down options:

Example filter: "Show only properties with £0+ revenue and more than 215 days of data"

Once you're satisfied with your compset, click Review Performance to access the full analytics dashboard.

At the top, you'll see compset averages:

The data is presented in three formats—mapped, graphed, and via property cards. Each format serves different analytical needs.

Each metric has a scatter plot showing the distribution across your compset:

Revenue Distribution - See the range from lowest to highest earner (e.g., £11,000 to £55,000)

ADR Distribution - Identify which properties command the highest nightly rates

RevPAR Distribution - Understand revenue efficiency across the compset

Occupancy Distribution - See which properties achieve the best booking rates

Month-by-month trend charts show:

These charts help you identify seasonality and market momentum.

Each selected comparable has a property card providing full details:

Map View - Switch to map view to see where properties are located geographically. Click any property to view its card and access the listing link.

Sort Options - Reorder properties by revenue, occupancy, ADR, or other metrics to identify top performers.

Use the tool to validate investment opportunities:

Pro tip: Narrow your compsets as much as possible. The tighter your selection, the more accurate your benchmarking.

Save compsets to monitor your performance over time:

Be selective - Quality over quantity. A tight compset of 5-10 truly comparable properties is more valuable than 30 loosely similar ones.

Check data depth - Properties with more historical data (200+ days available) provide more reliable insights.

Remove outliers - Delete properties that aren't genuinely comparable (different property types, locations, or target markets).

Update regularly - Revisit your compsets quarterly to track market changes.

Use filters strategically - Filter by minimum performance thresholds to focus on successful properties worth benchmarking against.
