Frequently Asked Questions

How much did typical Columbia listings earn last year?

Typical Columbia listings earned about $21,121 last year from 873 active rentals, AirROI trailing twelve months August 2025 through July 2026. Average night was $199, occupancy 40.9 percent, revenue per available night $79. Year over year is minus 3.5 percent with supply up 14.4 percent. Keep Lake Murray on its own line.

When is Columbia's strongest month?

October is the busiest, with March and August the other strong months. July is the slowest and the weakest for occupancy. Write for the guest who typed Columbia -- State House, Williams-Brice, Five Points -- rather than a generic capital-city caption.

Do I need a Columbia STR permit in 2026?

Call City of Columbia Code Enforcement at 803-545-3430, 920 Hemlock Drive. The city's STR page lists a $100-a-year permit per owner-occupied unit plus a business license. The city lifted its moratorium on new STR permits on March 3, 2026, so confirm current dollars and the arterial-street rule for non-owner-occupied parcels.

Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy?

No. 245 listings, 28.1 percent of Columbia's 873 active rentals, set a 30-night minimum, but typical stay is still 6 nights with a 44-day lead. That minimum is a host's platform setting, not real occupancy.

Should I hire a manager in Columbia or on Lake Murray?

Professionally managed share in Columbia is 7.9 percent; Vanessa holds the largest local book at 14 listings. Lake Murray runs closer to 12 percent professionally managed per this hub's research -- don't buy one pitch for both a city stay and a lake dock weekend.

Who books a Columbia stay?

Most guests arrive from Columbia itself, then Atlanta. Stay averages 6 nights with a 44-day lead. State House, Williams-Brice, and Fort Jackson are city products; a Lake Murray dock weekend is a different product entirely, so file the two separately.

Can I use Lake Murray numbers for a Columbia listing?

No. Columbia's average night was $199 across 873 listings, and this pass did not mint a separate Lake Murray AirROI year. Keep Columbia's $21,121 figure on its own line rather than averaging in the lake market.

How should a host split city and lake copy in Columbia?

File two products. Columbia sells State House, Williams-Brice, and the Liberty Bridge equivalent of downtown energy; Lake Murray sells a dock. Keep the files apart -- a blended caption undersells both the city guest and the lake guest.

What should a buyer packet carry for a Columbia listing?

Cite $21,121 across 873 city listings, note supply up 14.4 percent against a 3.5 percent year-over-year decline, and include the Code Enforcement line, 803-545-3430. Note the March 3, 2026 moratorium lift on new permits.

Where do I confirm current Columbia STR rules?

Call City of Columbia Code Enforcement at 803-545-3430, 920 Hemlock Drive. That office confirms current permit dollars, the arterial-street rule for non-owner-occupied parcels, and whether a residential district exemption applies.
