609 listings, 31.6 percent of 1,927 active rentals, already set a 30-night minimum. Stay is still 6.8 nights.

Typical St. Louis listings earned about $21,963 last year from 1,927 active rentals, AirROI trailing twelve months from August 2025 through July 2026. The average night was $184. Occupancy was 42.9 percent. Revenue per available night was $79. Year over year is plus 2.4 percent. Active supply moved plus 5.2 percent.

The three strongest city months are March, May, and June. March is the busiest. January is the slowest. Occupancy is weakest in July. Most guests arrive from St. Louis, then Chicago. Stay is 6.8 nights, booked about 38 days ahead. Call the St. Louis License Collector at 314-622-4528. 1200 Market Street, City Hall Room 102-104. Email lco@stlouis-mo.gov.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much did typical St. Louis listings earn last year?

Typical St. Louis listings earned about $21,963 last year from 1,927 active rentals, AirROI trailing twelve months from August 2025 through July 2026. Average night was $184, occupancy 42.9 percent, and revenue per available night was $79. Year over year is plus 2.4 percent, with active supply up 5.2 percent. Keep this figure separate from Saint Charles and Innsbrook.

When is St. Louis's strongest month?

March is the busiest revenue month, with May and June also strong. January is the slowest month, and occupancy is weakest in July. These are city-only figures -- don't apply them to a Saint Charles or Innsbrook caption.

Do I need a St. Louis MO STR permit in 2026?

Call the St. Louis License Collector at 314-622-4528 (1200 Market Street, City Hall Room 102-104, lco@stlouis-mo.gov). Ordinance 72095, effective February 23, 2026, requires a Short-Term Rental Business License and a quarterly 3 percent license fee on rent. A court order has prohibited the city from enforcing the older Ordinance 71729 permit requirements, and AirROI's low-regulation label is a scrape of listings, not the town file -- confirm current requirements directly with the desk.

Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy?

No. About 609 listings, 31.6 percent of the 1,927 active rentals, already set a 30-night minimum, yet the average stay is still 6.8 nights with a 38-day booking lead. January remains the slow month regardless of minimum-night rules.

Should I hire a manager in St. Louis and on the satellites?

Professionally managed share in St. Louis is 16.4 percent. Saint Charles and Innsbrook each call for their own city-specific copy -- don't buy one pitch to cover all three markets. Confirm current management pricing at the desk before committing.

Who books a St. Louis stay?

Most guests arrive from within St. Louis itself, then from Chicago, staying an average of 6.8 nights with a 38-day booking lead. Urban guests want Soulard and Lafayette Square, while Saint Charles and Innsbrook guests each book a separate city experience. Match the copy to which guest you're targeting.

Can I file Saint Charles as the St. Louis year?

No. St. Louis's average night was $184 across 1,927 listings, while Saint Charles earned about $30,564 on 190 listings. Keep the $21,963 St. Louis figure on its own line -- a listing scrape is not the town file.

Is Ordinance 71729 still the St. Louis permit?

No. A court order has prohibited the city from enforcing Ordinance 71729's permit requirements. Ordinance 72095 now requires a Short-Term Rental Business License with a quarterly 3 percent fee. Call 314-622-4528 to confirm the current 2026 status.

What should a buyer packet carry?

Cite the $21,963 typical year on 1,927 city listings, note supply up 5.2 percent and year-over-year at plus 2.4 percent, and include the License Collector's number, 314-622-4528. Keep Saint Charles and Innsbrook figures on their own separate lines.

Where do I confirm the city desk?

Call the St. Louis License Collector at 314-622-4528 (1200 Market Street, City Hall Room 102-104, lco@stlouis-mo.gov). Ordinance 72095 requires the Short-Term Rental Business License and quarterly 3 percent fee -- AirROI's low-regulation label is a scrape of listings, not the town's live file.

Work with Crest & Cove Creative

St. Louis copy sold as a filled January is not marketing -- it is a spreadsheet artifact. A 30-night minimum describes a booking filter, not the eight months guests actually chase Soulard, Lafayette Square, and the hospital corridor.

Crest & Cove writes St. Louis, Saint Charles, and Innsbrook as three separate stories, not one recycled skyline caption. Tell us which desk and which guest you are chasing, and we will build copy that matches the calendar you actually have.
