One mid-term booking is worth about seven short stays.
Same platform. Same kind of property. Seven times the value per booking.
The numbers behind that, from Rentals United and PriceLabs across 2025:
→ A standard short stay averaged roughly €845 per booking → A mid-term stay of 30 nights or more averaged closer to €6,000 → Mid-term booking volume grew only modestly, and total value was broadly flat → So this is not a growth rocket. It is a high-value buffer
Why it matters now:
→ Fewer turnovers, fewer cleans, fewer empty nights to chase → A handful of long stays can underpin a property's whole year → And in many markets, the rules that bite hardest, night caps, licensing, registration, are aimed squarely at short stays
Push part of your calendar past 30 nights and, in a lot of places, you step outside the tightest part of the regime.
Mid-term will not replace your short-let income. It is not meant to.
But as a hedge against soft months and tightening rules, it is one of the quietest plays on the board.
Are you running mid-term as a deliberate strategy, or just taking it when it lands?
