Frequently Asked Questions About New Jersey Airbnb and Vrbo Markets
The best short-term rental market in New Jersey for Airbnb and Vrbo investors by gross yield is Millville, with 12.8% gross yield, $42,354 in average annual revenue, and 99 active listings.
US markets are ranked by gross yield, which compares annual short-term rental revenue from demand sources like Airbnb and Vrbo with estimated property value. Gross yield is useful for comparing markets before expenses, financing, taxes, and local regulation are included.
Gross yield is usually better for market comparison because it accounts for both revenue potential and property value. Revenue alone can favor expensive markets where purchase prices may reduce investor returns.
Monthly revenue is calculated from the average yearly revenue per listing over the last twelve months (LTM), divided by 12. This figure represents gross booking revenue across short-term rental demand sources, including Airbnb and Vrbo, before expenses like cleaning fees, platform fees, and property management costs.
ADR is the average nightly price that guests pay to book a short-term rental in a given market. It's calculated by dividing the total revenue by the number of booked nights. Higher ADR markets typically have premium properties or are in high-demand tourist destinations.
