Frequently Asked Questions

How much did typical Baltimore listings earn last year?

Typical Baltimore listings earned about $17,408 last year from 1,413 active rentals, AirROI trailing twelve months from August 2025 through July 2026. Average night was $159, occupancy 38.8 percent, and revenue per available night was $63. Year over year is minus 3.7 percent with supply up 13.8 percent. An earlier hub brief printed $17,648 on roughly 1,460 listings from an older window — this current extract supersedes it. Keep Annapolis and Towson on their own lines.

When is Baltimore's strongest month?

May is the busiest revenue month, with August and October the other strong months. February is the slowest, and occupancy is weakest in July. Confirm current 2026 fees at Baltimore DHCD before advertising a season, and keep this pattern specific to the city rather than an Annapolis or Towson listing.

Do I need a Baltimore MD STR permit in 2026?

Call Baltimore DHCD Property Licensing at 410-396-3575, 417 E. Fayette Street (DHCD main 443-984-5757). The city's STR license is $200 per dwelling unit, renewed biennially, and is only issued for a person's permanent residence with a narrow additional-unit path. Don't mix Baltimore County fees into this city file — confirm the current 2026 figure directly with the desk.

Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy?

No. 404 listings, 28.6 percent of the 1,413 active rentals, set a 30-night minimum, but typical stay is still 7.6 nights with a 38-day lead time. A long minimum-stay setting doesn't reflect what guests actually book, and February remains the slow month regardless of that setting.

Should I hire a manager in Baltimore and on the satellites?

Professionally managed share in Baltimore is 4.5 percent; Evolve holds the largest local portfolio at 19 listings. Annapolis rewards capital-city copy and Towson rewards county copy — don't buy one manager pitch to cover all three markets, since the guest occasions and positioning differ.

Who books a Baltimore stay?

Most guests arrive from New York, then from Baltimore itself. Typical stay is 7.6 nights with a 38-day lead time. Urban guests want Fells Point and the harbor; Annapolis guests are booking a capital-city stay; Towson guests are booking a county stay. Keep each town's occasion distinct in your listing copy.

Can I file Annapolis as the Baltimore year?

No. Baltimore's average night was $159 across 1,413 listings, and this data pass did not produce a separate Annapolis AirROI year. Keep $17,408 on its own line for Baltimore, and don't substitute or blend a neighboring capital-city figure when citing this market to a buyer.

What is the license dollar amount?

The city's STR license is $200 per dwelling unit, renewed biennially, and a permanent-residence requirement applies with only a narrow path for a second unit. Call Baltimore DHCD Property Licensing at 410-396-3575, 417 E. Fayette Street, to confirm the current 2026 figure before quoting it to a buyer.

What should a buyer packet carry?

Cite $17,408 across 1,413 city listings, note supply up 13.8 percent and year over year down 3.7 percent, and include the permit desk number, 410-396-3575. Keep Annapolis and Towson unlabeled in the packet rather than inventing comparable figures for them.

Where do I confirm the city desk?

Call Baltimore DHCD Property Licensing at 410-396-3575, 417 E. Fayette Street, or apply through the city's STR portal directly. Licenses are issued only for a permanent residence, with a narrow additional-unit path, and county fees don't apply inside the city. Treat any low-regulation label from a listing-data scrape as a starting point only.
