Mudroom entry in a lodging house, 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.

Arrive at Havre de Grace on Purpose

That heading is the useful way to read Havre de Grace, not a dashboard label. Guests come for Concord Point Lighthouse. Say that in the listing. Do not bury it under a generic Chesapeake Bay caption. Do not write Erie copy onto a Havre de Grace address. Do not use Highlands as if it were this occupancy. Be specific about the walk. A vague caption loses the guest who typed this town. Keep the other town out of the title.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

AirROI's trailing-twelve-month extract for Havre de Grace, August 2025 through July 2026 (updated 2026-08-08), lists about $18,791 in typical revenue across 41 active listings. Average night runs $192, occupancy sits at 33.1 percent, and the year-over-year change is plus 3.1 percent. That is a small sample relative to bigger Chesapeake Bay markets, so treat it as directional rather than a citywide census.

Can I average Erie into this year?

No. Erie is a separate Chesapeake Bay market with its own extract, $16,408 from 239 listings — a different town, a different sample. Cite the Havre de Grace figure, $18,791 from 41 listings, on its own line, and confirm any town-specific detail before you advertise a stay using another town's numbers.

Which months are strongest in Havre de Grace?

October, August, and November are the three strongest months for Havre de Grace STRs, with October the outright busiest and February the slowest. Occupancy for the full year lands at 33.1 percent against that $18,791 typical revenue on 41 listings. Price around the named peaks and holes rather than a flat calendar.

Where do guests come from?

Baltimore sends the most guests to Havre de Grace, followed by New York. Typical stays run 3.2 nights, booked about 64 days out, with a superhost share of 92.7 percent. Write listing copy for the guest who searched Havre de Grace specifically rather than a generic Chesapeake Bay pitch.

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

No — a low-regulation scrape label is not the same as a clean bill from town hall. Havre de Grace runs its short-term rental process through Planning at 410-939-1800, covering the city's STR license under Chapter 147 Article II; confirm the live fee; confirm the live fee before you advertise. Erie runs its own separate Zoning desk at 814-870-1265.

Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy?

No. About 7.3 percent of Havre de Grace listings — 3 of them — set a 30-night minimum, which is a booking filter, not a measure of how full a calendar actually runs. Typical stay length here is 3.2 nights, well under that threshold, so do not read minimum-stay settings as an occupancy proxy.

What should a buyer packet carry?

A Havre de Grace buyer packet should cite $18,791 across 41 listings, the october, august, and november peak months against a february low, Baltimore as the lead origin market, a 3.2-night typical stay with a 64-day booking lead, and the Planning line at 410-939-1800. Keep Erie's $16,408 and Highlands's $34,275 labeled separately — never averaged in.

Is Highlands the same market as Havre de Grace?

No. Highlands published $34,275 from 43 listings, a materially different Chesapeake Bay market from Havre de Grace's $18,791 on 41 listings with February as its slowest month. Confirm Planning at 410-939-1800 before marketing a Havre de Grace stay using Highlands's numbers, or vice versa — keep each town's figures on its own line.
