Gable bedroom in a lodging cottage, Havre de Grace stay

Most Havre de Grace listings get marketed as a generic Chesapeake Bay stay. That pitch could describe a dozen other towns, and it wastes what actually sets City of Havre de Grace, Harford County, Maryland apart. Guests who typed Havre de Grace are looking for Concord Point Lighthouse, Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, the Promenade, the Susquehanna River — not Erie, and not Highlands. 41 active listings sit on this extract. Write the town you can actually walk. Keep the listing specific. A vague water caption loses the booking.

Typical listings here earned about $18,791 last year from 41 active rentals, AirROI trailing twelve months through July 2026. The average night was $192. Occupancy was 33.1 percent. Revenue per available night was $70. Year over year is plus 3.1 percent. Active supply moved 20.6 percent. Do not average in Erie at $16,408 on 239 listings. That is a different town. Leave Highlands as a different market. Do not mix those towns. Treat this as a small sample, not a blended coast.

The three strongest months are October, August, and November. October is the busiest. February is the slowest. Most guests arrive from Baltimore, then New York. Typical stay is 3.2 nights, booked about 64 days ahead. Call Planning at 410-939-1800. City STR license Chapter 147 Article II. Confirm the live fee in MGO. Erie Zoning 814-870-1265 is another municipality. AirROI Low is a scrape John holds still show up in this sample. Confirm the live desk before you advertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a typical Havre de Grace STR year on this extract?

AirROI lists about $18,791 from 41 listings for August 2025 through July 2026, updated 2026-08-08. Average night was $192, occupancy 33.1 percent, and year over year is plus 3.1 percent. Don't average in Erie's $16,408 or cite Highlands' $34,275 as this town's figure; treat this as a small sample specific to Havre de Grace.

Can I average Erie into this year?

No. Erie published $16,408 from 239 listings, a much larger Lake Erie dataset that doesn't cancel into one shared Chesapeake year with Havre de Grace. Cite $18,791 from 41 Havre de Grace listings only, and confirm the specific parcel's town before advertising a figure.

Which months are strongest in Havre de Grace?

The three strongest months are October, August, and November, with October the busiest. February is the slowest, and occupancy for the year runs 33.1 percent on an $18,791 typical year from 41 listings. This pattern is specific to Havre de Grace.

Where do guests come from?

Baltimore is the top origin, then New York. Typical stay is 3.2 nights, booked about 64 days ahead, with a striking superhost share of 92.7 percent. Occupancy here is 33.1 percent on an $18,791 typical year — write copy for the guest who's actually searching Havre de Grace.

Does a low-regulation label mean there is no local permit?

No — that label is a scrape, not the town file. Call Planning at 410-939-1800 for the city's STR license under Chapter 147, Article II; confirm the live fee in the municipal code. Erie's zoning desk, 814-870-1265, is a separate municipality's rule entirely.

Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy?

No. Only 7.3 percent of listings (3 of them) set a 30-night minimum here — a notably low share. Typical stay is still 3.2 nights, and this shouldn't be confused with the 33.1 percent occupancy figure for the year. Confirm current city rules before setting your own minimum-stay policy.

What should a buyer packet carry?

Cite $18,791 from 41 listings, the strongest months (October, August, November), the slowest month (February), the top guest origin (Baltimore), typical stay (3.2 nights), lead time (64 days), and Planning, 410-939-1800. Label Erie at $16,408 and Highlands at $34,275 separately — don't average those figures.

Is Highlands the same market as Havre de Grace?

No. Highlands published $34,275 from 43 listings — keep that on its own line. Havre de Grace is $18,791 from 41 listings, with February as the slowest month. Confirm Planning, 410-939-1800, before advertising one town's numbers as another's.

Work with Crest & Cove Creative

A Havre de Grace listing padded with Highlands' higher numbers misrepresents this small Chesapeake town, and a 92.7 percent superhost share here is a genuine local signal worth keeping in the copy.
