The average Airbnb or VRBO in Albay generates PHP204K per year. High-performing properties earn PHP686K/year, while low-performing properties earn PHP69K/year. This wide revenue spread suggests that market rewards are highly concentrated among top-tier assets, highlighting a significant divergence between generic listings and those effectively capturing current demand.
Airbnb and VRBO can be profitable in Albay. Average annual revenue is PHP204K with 19% occupancy. High-performing properties earn up to PHP686K/year. The 19% occupancy rate reflects a challenging environment where profitability is heavily tied to operational excellence, as average properties struggle to maintain consistent booking levels.
The average occupancy rate for Airbnbs and VRBOs in Albay is 19%. This occupancy level, combined with an average nightly rate of PHP3K, results in a RevPAR (revenue per available room) of PHP456 per day.
3-bedroom properties demonstrate the strongest performance in Albay, with annual revenue of PHP486K. These properties balance operating costs and rental demand most effectively in the Albay market. Property performance varies significantly by location, amenities, and management quality.
Short-term rental regulations vary by jurisdiction in the Albay area. I don't have reliable, verified information about short-term rental regulations or enforcement realities for Legazpi, Daraga, and Tabaco in the Philippines. These are smaller cities in Albay province where formal STR frameworks may not be established or publicly documented. Without confirmed data on permits, restrictions, and actual enforcement practices, I recommend contacting local government units (LGUs) directly or consulting with local property managers for current requirements. Always verify current regulations with local authorities and obtain necessary permits before operating a short-term rental.
The Albay Airbnb and VRBO market is currently showing oversaturated conditions. Supply has grown 19% year-over-year, while RevPAR has decreased 12%. This indicates supply growth outpacing demand, pressuring returns. The decline in revenue despite rising inventory points to a dilution of market share, making it increasingly difficult for average properties to maintain previous performance levels.
Launch around January, 2-3 months before peak spring season (April peaks). This pre-peak timing lets you build reviews when competition is 24% lower than peak months. Avoid launching during peak season when established listings dominate, or slow months (September-August) when gaining traction is harder.
