What It Says
AirDNA’s global short-term rental (STR) index tracks over 10 million active listings across more than 120,000 markets on Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com. The public dataset covers 69 countries, 756 states/regions, and 36,246 individual cities and resort areas.
According to the October 2026 update, the world's largest STR markets by active listing volume are led by London (59,943 listings), followed closely by São Paulo (40,645 listings) and Orlando (40,092 listings). France holds the title for the country with the most individual STR markets at 13,667, followed by the United States with 12,093 markets.
The top global markets display highly varied performance profiles:
- Highest Occupancy: Tokyo leads the top 12 markets with a 73% occupancy rate, followed by Paris at 70%.
- Highest Average Daily Rate (ADR): Orlando and Cornwall lead at $244 per night, closely followed by Paris ($226) and Los Angeles ($221).
- Highest Annual Revenue: Paris leads the top tier with $50.6K in annual revenue per listing, followed closely by Los Angeles ($49.1K) and Orlando ($48.9K).
- Emerging High-Volume, Low-Cost Hubs: Latin American hubs like São Paulo and Buenos Aires boast massive listing counts (over 39,000 each) but operate at much lower ADRs ($49 and $64, respectively).
Why It Matters
For STR operators and technology vendors, this dataset highlights where supply is concentrating and where yield remains strongest. The dramatic variance in annual revenue per listing—ranging from over $50,000 in Paris to just $8,100 in Buenos Aires—underscores that listing volume does not equate to market profitability.
Furthermore, AirDNA's proprietary Market Score (ranging from 40 to 100) helps operators evaluate potential investment locations by balancing demand, revenue growth, seasonality, regulatory signals, and investability (local home prices relative to STR earnings).
Useful Signals
- De-duplication is critical for accurate supply metrics: AirDNA tracks properties across Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, counting cross-listed properties only once to prevent artificial supply inflation.
- Seasonality and Regulation are key risk factors: The Market Score heavily weights seasonality (revenue swings between peak and off-peak months) and regulatory risk (inferred from local host behavior) to grade market health.
- Trailing-Twelve-Month (TTM) tracking: Headline metrics are calculated on a TTM basis, protecting operators from making expansion decisions based on seasonal anomalies or single-month spikes.
STR Tech Report Take
The 2026 data shows that mature, high-ADR markets like Paris, Los Angeles, and London continue to deliver the strongest top-line revenue for hosts, despite local regulatory headwinds. For property management software (PMS) and channel manager vendors, the sheer volume of listings in countries like France and the U.S. represents the largest addressable customer base. However, rapidly growing markets in South America (Brazil and Argentina) present a massive opportunity for localized, budget-friendly tech solutions tailored to lower-ADR operations.
