The €6,000 Buffer

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 bufferWhy 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 staysPush 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?
