What's Inside the Report

Market Size & ADR Range

1,500–2,000 active STR listings across the Chattanooga corridor. ADR ranges from $610 to $2,225/night with a median around $1,088 — a premium market with significant spread based almost entirely on marketing.

Digital Presence & The Web Void

Of the 22+ individually-managed hosts we analyzed, 100% have no direct booking website, no Google Business Profile, and no property-specific social presence. Every booking runs through Airbnb — and nowhere else.

Booking Velocity & Fee Leakage

Average market velocity sits at 24.7 reviews per year. Four hosts show velocity crisis patterns — proven quality badges, fewer than 5 bookings a year. Every booking through Airbnb alone means 15–20% in platform fees.

Tourism Demand & Seasonality

Chattanooga draws 2+ million annual visitors as a year-round urban destination. Peaks in summer, fall foliage, and spring climbing season — with business travel providing baseline occupancy through slower months.

The Chattanooga Opportunity

The properties in this market are genuinely excellent. The marketing infrastructure is almost entirely absent. Chattanooga draws over 2 million visitors a year — and the hosts who show up in search will capture the bookings that invisible properties never see. The demand is already here.
