Selling Vacation Property Quick FAQs

Selling Vacation Home Furnished or Unfurnished?

A vacation home should always be sold as furnished real estate because future reservations are being booked with those furnishing being shown on the home-sharing listings. This means any changes could cause negative reviews for the potential buyer which may decrease their willingness to purchase.

Should I Continue Taking Bookings For My Airbnb I’m Selling?

If you’re planning to sell your vacation rental property as a turn-key Airbnb or VRBO, then you should continue to take bookings. However, if the real estate value is higher than what an investor would pay depending on Gross rental income and cap rate, you may want to sell it as non-rental real estate.

Can I Transfer My Home-Sharing Listings On A Vacation Property I’m Selling?

It depends on which home-sharing website they are different for each. The main two are Airbnb and VRBO respectively. Airbnb doesn’t allow the transfer of a listing to a new owner while VRBO allows you to transfer the listing to the new owner. Therefore you may want to only take future bookings on VRBO when selling.

Is The Value Of An Airbnb Different Than If It Was A Normal Home?

The difference between these two should be minimal at best. Mainly the difference should be the cost to furnish. This is because short-term rentals are a high-risk industry so the value isn’t related to Gross revenue or cap rate. At any time in the future, the market could collapse or new regulations could be imposed and then all that is left is the real estate to sell at market value.

Is My Airbnb Property Going To Have Investor Interest?

The majority of seasoned investors will want a minimum of 15% Gross revenue compared to the purchase price. This is because STRs have much higher operating costs than long-term rentals. If you are under this level, you may still get some interest from entry-level investors or individuals who want a vacation home and some revenue to offset the costs. For that reason, If your property is under the 15% gross revenue compared to asking price, we charge $99 to send to our investor email list.
