📡 5 New "In Context" Series

You now have 5 new data series available on any listing's pricing chart.

These series are designed to help you understand your neighborhood's prices and booking pace:

All booking series — Expected, Observed, and their range — are based on bookings in your listing's neighborhood.

We've pre-assembled these series into two new views so you can get to the signal instantly.

----------

From any listing's pricing chart, you can now open the view.

This view includes your standard series:

Plus all 5 new series:

Here's what that unlocks in practice.

Let's say it's early April and you're watching a holiday weekend in late May. The line is already running well above — your neighborhood is booking faster than the model predicted. That's a strong, data-backed signal that demand is spiking earlier than usual, giving you a concrete reason to be more aggressive on price now, before inventory tightens.

The inverse is equally useful: when Observed is lagging Expected, you have early visibility that pace is soft — and you can adjust strategy before it shows up in your own availability numbers.

This is the kind of signal that used to require piecing together comp data manually or waiting for a market report. Now it's right in your chart, and it .

To use it:

----------

The is purpose-built for one of the most important (and tricky) questions in modern STR pricing: what does my guest actually pay, and how does that compare to my neighbors?

Because fees vary by season, booking size, stay length, and channel, your "rent" price alone doesn't tell the whole story. This view brings it all together:

This should help you see exactly how your compare to

To use it:

The is most powerful once your is configured. Head to your listing's Settings → Rent + Fee Preview to confirm your fee load — or toggle on auto-detection so Wheelhouse keeps it current as your fee structure evolves.

📑 Want a reminder of our Model 9.0 Updates? Please read more here

Over the last 8 weeks, you provided a tremendous amount of feedback — often positive, but also constructive — that helped us improve two key aspects of the model. Thank you!

Here is what has been updated since launch:

Our event model is now better calibrated to real demand data. When we see early booking signals for a future event, the model more accurately translates that demand into prices that reflect what guests are actually willing to pay. In practice, this often means higher recommendations for future events with strong early demand — ensuring properties aren't leaving revenue on the table.

Wheelhouse's Pre-Demand Event Protection model ensures that prices reflect potential upcoming demand surges before bookings start rolling in. Based on your feedback and further analysis, we updated Model 9.0 so that PDEP recommendations are more tightly calibrated to what we expect to be the optimal price when future demand arrives.

With these changes locked in, we're now turning our research efforts toward Model 9.1.

The latest (and final) updates to Pricing Engine 9.0 will likely reduce how aggressively our pricing responds to local holidays and events.

Therefore, we recommend taking time to review your market’s major holiday periods to ensure your pricing—and any overrides—are delivering exactly the prices you want.

----------

As of today, Wheelhouse supports both Model 8.3 and Model 9.0. However, we will be phasing out Model 8.3 on , at which point all listings will be automatically moved to Model 9.0.

If you'd like to migrate before that date, Wheelhouse makes it easy to preview your 9.0 pricing, upgrade, and start taking advantage of a model that is driving significant revenue increases.

As a reminder, when we launched Model 9.0 in January, we planned to give users 90 days to evaluate and transition to the new model. Based on these recent updates, we've extended that window — while also making sure we can set the stage to bring Model 9.1 to market.

Hooray! You can now adjust Base Prices across multiple listings.

Before, you could either:

Now, you can:

And, you can do this from 1 to 1,000 listings, at the same time.

In the current OTA landscape, it’s especially critical to compare your final distributed prices to other OTA prices.

However, this can be a challenging endeavor, as fee totals can be impacted by:

Therefore, to enable you to better understand your final distributed price, Wheelhouse has added a new “” tool to your settings.

This preview gives you a clearer signal of how your pricing strategy will translate into your posted rates.

For each listing, Wheelhouse now surfaces what our system is seeing as your average fee load, based on observable bookings.

By clicking “apply”, you can can now quickly preview your pricing, with this fee load.

📈

With the fees “applied” you can now see you final rates, but adding the Series “Rent + Fees” to any chart.

This line will show your fee burden, added for your Pricing (Current Settings).

🧮

And, as you might know, you can easily bring in your market range & median, to now see how your Rent + Fees Pricing relates to the market.

To do so, simply add more series to your chart, from the Series list:

➕

If you want to view or preview a different fee load, you can easily do so, by using the input box to see where your pricing will land.

🥳

And, as a reminder, you can store your OTA links on any listing, so you can quickly click through to your listing pages, and analyze your final prices for any stay length.

Today, Wheelhouse is releasing a new pricing engine that represents a significant improvement in how our ability to drive rental revenue, based on local demand signals.

introduces a (leveraging a “Generalized Additive Model”, methodology detailed below) to replace our last model generation’s “Distributional Pricing” approach.

This new methodology leverages machine learning to better interpret how demand signals relate to the market’s price tolerance, with performance improvements including:

Model 9.0 is much better at decomposing demand into distinct components — seasonal trend, day-of-week effects, and event-specific spikes — and understanding how these components should contribute to specific daily pricing recommendations.

This advancement has two benefits - both making price recommendations more accurate, and making it easier to use your settings to create your ideal pricing strategy.

Model 9.0 is very effective at understanding the relationship between local demand patterns and booked prices. This capability means your engine is far more proficient at analyzing your current competitive landscape, and knowing where to move your pricing in order to maximize revenue.

Importantly, this improvement helps to better position your listing in both high & low demand environments.

Model 9.0 is better at responding to emerging demand signals without overreacting and pushing your prices too dramatically, day over day.

This allows your listings to more precisely adapt to events in the far future, without risking owner/guest complaints from overly reactive pricing changes.

As part of our evaluation of Model 9.0, we have been running an A/B test across >1,000 real, live listings across 20+ markets, and a wide range of inventory.

The results of this ongoing A/B test are available here, and will be updated weekly until the end of the trial (early February).

The new pricing engine is clearly differentiating itself in terms of driving revenue.

Additionally, we are also happy to see that the revenue creation is being partially driven by increased ADR, as well. This helps us determine that these results are not just a short term bump tied to cannibalizing future potential bookings.

Model 9.0 should be much easier to work with - right out of the box.

For our A/B test, our testing team reduced the use of model customizations ~81% between our control & test group for Seasonality, Day of Week, and Demand Sensitivity.

This reduction was based on strong agreement with the output of the new Pricing Engine, in matching their understanding of each local market.

With this launch, we are publishing live results of an ongoing A/B test, in order for you to follow along for learnings, updates & results.

👩‍💻 The live tracker is linked here

Yes, this test has been configured & run by a teammate at Wheelhouse.

However, as you examine how the trial has been structured, I think it will be clear that the trial setup & execution are as fair as possible, and serve as a decent showcase for the different approaches and results for Model 8.3 & 9.0.

With this new Pricing Engine, Wheelhouse has created a new set of tools that will allow you to:

Both on your terms and timeline. Therefore, you will be able to evaluate the where the model recommends increasing & decreasing prices, key model metrics, and more.
