Enchanted Rock granite dome north of Fredericksburg, Texas

Fredericksburg, Texas is a Gillespie County wine town on US-290, about seventy-five to eighty minutes west of Austin, and it is not the Virginia city that shares the name. AirROI updated the Fredericksburg file on August 8, 2026, using August 2025 through July 2026, and that snapshot prints 2,213 active listings. That is a mature file, not a pioneer market with a handful of cabins and an empty search page. Average daily rate is $338, and occupancy is 32.6 percent. Typical annual revenue is named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31. RevPAR is $118, and guests book about 45 days out. Those are vendor figures from one dashboard, and they are not a lender guarantee.

The median month in the same file is named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31. Median occupancy sits near 32 percent, and median nightly rate is about $269. Top-quartile months print named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31. Bottom-quartile months print named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31. Top-decile months print named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31 or more. Peak-three revenue months are March, December, and November, and the soft band is January, February, and September. March is the peak, and september is the lowest revenue month. July is the occupancy floor, and december is the peak ADR month. Harvest is not the file. A host who writes this town as a crush-season clone is arguing with the calendar AirROI already printed.

Thepermitpost is the window: city permit and annual inspection inside the limit, ordinance effective January 1, 2024, and a thirteen percent hotel occupancy stack the platforms do not fully remit.how-to-marketpost is the conversion. This page is the evidence pile , one dated AirROI city file, one AirDNA snapshot that must stay in its own sentence, a manager table already at Absolute Charm scale, and a refusal to treat $175 million in 2024 visitor spending as a host trailing-twelve. If you came for a single brave wine-country number, you will leave with two dashboards, two clerks, and a median that refuses to flatter the listing.

2,213 doors is a mature file

AirROI, August 8, 2026, trailing August 2025 through July 2026: 2,213 active listings. Entire-home share is 92.3 percent, and houses are 64.7 percent. Hotel and boutique stock is 7.5 percent, and average stay is 2.6 nights. One-night minimums sit on 33.4 percent of the file. Two-night minimums sit on 27.9 percent, and a thirty-night-or-longer minimum sits on 37.9 percent. Superhost share is 73.3 percent, and guest Favorite share is 53.9 percent. Rating is 4.86, and professionally managed share is 44.8 percent. Those are vendor figures from one city snapshot. They describe a graded field, not an empty search page waiting for the first serious host.

Supply in the same file is up 11.7 percent year over year. Revenue is down 5.4 percent. More doors and less revenue is the 2026 sentence, not a rounding error and not a harvest-weekend excuse. The guest file is 97.5 percent domestic, with Austin and Houston as the named origins. That is a Texas drive market. It is not a license to caption the house as Austin with a longer driveway, and it is not a license to Keep generic Hill Country copy that would work on any US-290 mile marker. Origin is who already found the town, and it is not the listing category.

A 2,213-listing file already has photography, review volume, and Saturday calendars that answer. Theinvestmentpost is the buy-and-hold read against that supply.DIYpost is the craft gap against a 73.3 percent Superhost majority. Do not Keep this town as if the first listing still sets the standard. The standard is already here, and 92.3 percent of it is an entire home on a 2.6-night clock. Cite the file. Then decide whether your parcel can live inside it.

The Saturday search page a guest from Austin actually sees is mostly houses, not a hotel row with two cabins on the side. Recheck AirROI the week you cite the file. Snapshots move. This draft is the August 8, 2026 print, trailing August 2025 through July 2026, and it already describes a thick Texas wine town rather than a pioneer published market year on US-290. A mature file is good news for a guest who wants a proven Saturday and hard news for a buyer who needed empty search results.

Median month is named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31

Typical properties in the AirROI file generate about named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31 a month. That is the median, not the named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31 average annual figure, and not the named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31-plus top-decile month. Median occupancy is about 32 percent, and median nightly rate is about $269. The average daily rate on the same page is $338. Occupancy on the same page is 32.6 percent. Those two pairs are allowed to disagree because averages and medians measure different houses. A memo that picks only the larger number is not conservative. It is a sales deck.

Top-quartile months print named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31. Bottom-quartile months print named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31. That spread is why a two-bedroom near Hauptstrasse and a sixteen-bedroom retreat should not share a pro forma. Cite both ends, and do not midpoint them. Do not paste the named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31 typical annual onto a cottage because the town name sounded expensive, and do not paste named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31 onto a wine-road house because you wanted the deal to look cheap.financepost is which of those numbers belongs in a lender packet.

A host who prices every Saturday as if the file were the top 10 percent is arguing with the median that already printed. A buyer who underwrites only named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31 is arguing with named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31. Use both sentences, and keep them apart, and the average is a file-level typical. The median is closer to the house you can actually buy. Neither figure is a promise. Both figures are already more honest than a harvest adjective, and both beat a single nightly rate used as a year.

RevPAR on the same snapshot is $118, and occupancy is 32.6 percent. Those two figures explain how a $338 average daily rate becomes a named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31 typical year, and why a $269 median night becomes a named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31 median month. The math is already on the page. A memo that quotes ADR and ignores occupancy is not underwriting Fredericksburg, Texas. It is quoting a wine-country sticker. Lead time is about 45 days, so the rate you post in January is the March that actually prints. Keep the median in the same paragraph as the calendar. If the offer only works when you throw away named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31, the offer does not work in this town.

March December November not harvest

Peak-three revenue months in this AirROI file are March, December, and November. That is not a Napa harvest template and not a crush-season story imported from a California brochure. March is the peak, and december and November sit with it. The soft band is January, February, and September, and september is the lowest revenue month. July is the lowest occupancy month, and december is the peak ADR month. Those six labels are already on the page. A host who collapses them into harvest is writing a brochure, not a calendar.

Fredericksburg, Texas has vineyards, and wine Road 290 is real. Grape Creek, Becker, and Lost Draw are named rooms a guest can drive to. None of that makes September the revenue peak on this file. The file already printed September as the floor, and the.shoulderpost is that calendar without a fake harvest every Saturday. Price March like March, and price September like September. Do not import a harvest weekend because the tasting rooms exist. A tasting room is a Saturday. It is not a seasonality chart, and it is not permission to ignore July’s occupancy floor.

A 45-day lead time is the booking window the same snapshot prints. Guests who want March are already looking in January and February. Guests who want December are already looking in October and November. A host who waits until the grapes look photogenic has already missed the peak-three that this town actually runs. The clerk still exists in September, and the calendar still exists in March. Use the months the file named. Recheck the AirROI seasonality table the week you reset annual rates, because a snapshot can move and a harvest myth will not become true just because the vines look ready.

Absolute Charm 219 is the scale

The manager table on this AirROI pass names Absolute Charm at 219 listings and $12.3 million. Stay Texas shows 201 listings and $8.2 million, and gästehaus Schmidt shows 176 listings and $4.8 million. Joe shows 118, and catalina shows 73. Those are snapshot counts on a public table, not franchise territories and not a promise that every door in town sits under one brand. Search the live pages the week you cite them. Those counts move, and a stale screenshot is not a market study.

Vacasa is not on this top table this pass. Leave out unverified a Vacasa listing count for Fredericksburg, Texas. Older research can name a statewide footprint. This snapshot’s top table does not print Vacasa. Name Absolute Charm and Gästehaus Schmidt as the scale already here. Professionally managed share on the file is 44.8 percent. That is not a hobby market and not an empty manager field. It is a town where a large local book already answers the Saturday phone. If a pitch deck needs a national logo to feel real, this table is already real without one.

TheDIYpost is the hire question against that table. Independent-possible is still true for a host who will do the clerk work and the first frame. Independent-easy is not the sentence, because 219 doors at Absolute Charm already exist and 73.3 percent of the file already carries a Superhost badge. You are writing into a graded field, and cite the names the table printed. Leave out unverified a national-brand count this page did not open. A manager table is a snapshot of who already answers the phone, not a forecast that your cottage will print $12.3 million.

AirROI Low is wrong

AirROI prints regulation as Low and finds no licensed listings among those analyzed. That badge is wrong for the City of Fredericksburg. The city’s own short-term rental hub exists at fbgtx.org/845, opened for this draft on August 16, 2026. The ordinance is effective January 1, 2024, and city limits require a city permit. Annual inspections are on the calendar, and a live platform calendar is not a permit. A Superhost badge is not a permit, and absolute Charm’s 219 doors are not your permit.

Thepermitpost opens that desk, the thirteen percent hotel occupancy stack, and the fact that Airbnb and VRBO do not remit the city hotel occupancy tax. This market report will not paste AirROI’s Low line into a feasibility memo. It will not treat a 0 percent licensed field as proof the city has no program. The clerk is a person, and the ordinance has a date. The map has a city limit. A 0 percent licensed readout on a vendor page is a coverage failure, not a deregulation story, and it is not a reason to skip fbgtx.org/845.

A host who cites Low to a lender is handing the lender a vendor field, not a city answer. Confirm the published market year on the city’s STR map. Confirm whether the parcel sits inside the limit or in the extraterritorial jurisdiction. The ETJ is a different sentence and a hedge on the city permit. Do not let a dashboard badge decide the clerk. Open fbgtx.org, and then Keep the permit sentence you can defend. The Low field is a software label. The January 1, 2024 ordinance is a city act. Only one of those belongs in a feasibility memo.

City is not the ETJ

The City of Fredericksburg is not Gillespie County and not the extraterritorial jurisdiction. Inside city limits the 2024 ordinance attaches: city permit, annual inspection, city hotel occupancy tax at 7 percent on top of the Texas 6 percent state desk. Combined, those two desks produce a 13 percent guest-facing stack. Secondary sources say the ETJ does not require the city permit. Still confirm the live ordinance the week you buy. State and county hotel occupancy tax still exist outside the limit. This page will not invent a county short-term rental permit this draft did not open.

A buyer who treats every Gillespie published market year as a city permit problem is reading the wrong map. Thestartuppost is the map-first stack. Confirm the parcel against the city’s STR map before you Keep a linen budget. Hauptstrasse and the historic overlay are a published market year, not a vibe. Hedge historic-district rules until you confirm them on the city map. The overlay, if it exists on your parcel, is a clerk fact before it is a porch project.

This report will not blend city, ETJ, and unincorporated Gillespie into one occupancy series. AirROI’s 2,213 is a city-file snapshot as the vendor draws the market. It is not a promise that every door in that count sits inside the city limit. It is not a promise that an ETJ house can skip the state tax desk. Keep the clerks apart the same way this cluster keeps the medians apart. A buyer who wants one Gillespie occupancy number does not get one from this page, and should not invent one by averaging pins the vendor never split.

AirDNA and AirROI: Keep the Two Figures Separate

AirDNA’s Fredericksburg snapshot, dated August 5, 2026, prints a different universe: 3,391 listings, about $35.9K typical annual revenue, 40 percent occupancy, a $333 ADR, and $136 RevPAR. Listings in that snapshot are up 9.2 percent, and revenue is down 16.9 percent. Those figures live in their own sentence. They are not AirROI’s 2,213, named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31, 32.6 percent, $338, and $118. This page will not average 3,391 with 2,213. It will not average $35.9K with named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31. It will not average 40 percent with 32.6 percent.

Vendors draw markets differently. Coverage, filters, and what counts as active do not match across desks. A memo that midpoints them is not cautious, and it is a third number nobody published. Cite AirROI with the August 8 date, and cite AirDNA with the August 5 date. Leave the reader both labels. If a lender wants one file, pick one file and say which one you picked. Leave out unverified a Crest and Cove composite because the two Fredericksburg pages disagreed. Disagreement is information, and a blend erases the information.

Theinvestmentpost keeps those citations in separate sentences on purpose. A buyer who needs a blended yield should stop and buy a different product. A mature wine town is not a spreadsheet average of two vendor logos. Use the file that matches the question. Keep the other file visible so nobody pretends the disagreement disappeared. Directional caution is allowed: both snapshots show a thick market, and both show revenue not running ahead of supply. A homemade midpoint ADR is not caution. It is a new fiction with a Gillespie label.

What this page will not do

It will not treat 2,213 listings as an empty market. It will not substitute the named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31 average for the named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31 median month. It will not Keep September as harvest peak. It will not invent a Vacasa door count this table did not print. It will not treat AirROI Low as the city desk. It will not blend city limits and the ETJ into one permit sentence. It will not average AirDNA’s 3,391 with AirROI’s 2,213. It will not treat $175 million in 2024 visitor spending, reported by Visit Fredericksburg from Travel Stats, as a host trailing-twelve. It will not use Fredericksburg, Virginia figures.

Thetourism datapost is what that $175 million figure actually measures, and it is the page that keeps destination spend out of a host trailing-twelve. Thepersonaspost splits the wine-trail weekend from the Enchanted Rock morning.visitor guideis the itinerary a guest already searched.startuppost is the cash stack you can Keep a check for once the published market year is real.financepost is why a lender should see two medians, not one harvest adjective.

If you needed one annual revenue and one open wine-country sentence to feel brave, stop here and open AirROI and fbgtx.org yourself. A market report that treats this Texas town as Virginia, or March as harvest, or a Low badge as the clerk, is not a report. It is a brochure with a county name on it. This one is one dated file, one separate AirDNA sentence, and a median month of named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31. Use those. Keep them apart. The rest of the cluster exists so you do not have to blend the clerk, the calendar, and the CVB into this page.

Is this an open market because AirROI says Low?

The city has a short-term rental ordinance effective January 1, 2024, a permit, and annual inspections. AirROI Low and zero licensed listings are a vendor label. Thepermitpost is the window: city permit and annual inspection inside the limit, ordinance effective January 1, 2024, and a thirteen percent hotel occupancy stack the platforms do not fully remit.

Is this Fredericksburg, Virginia?

This is Fredericksburg, Gillespie County, Texas, about 75 minutes west of Austin on US-290. Do not use Virginia visitor-spend figures. Fredericksburg, Texas is a Gillespie County wine town on US-290, about seventy-five to eighty minutes west of Austin, and it is not the Virginia city that shares the name. A market report that treats this Texas town as Virginia, or March as harvest, or a Low badge as the clerk, is not a report.

What does the $175 million visitor-spend figure measure?

Visit Fredericksburg's CVB data page attributes $175 million in 2024 visitor spending (Travel Stats) to the destination economy. It is not listing revenue, not ADR, and not a tax remittance. A listing's earnings are the AirROI number. Thetourism datapost is what that $175 million figure actually measures, and it is the page that keeps destination spend out of a host trailing-twelve.

The guest file is 97.5 percent domestic, with Austin and Houston as the named origins. Those two figures explain how a $338 average daily rate becomes a named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31 typical year, and why a $269 median night becomes a named-town AirROI figures as of 2026-07-31 median month.
