June is the busiest month. Seattle is origin, then Spokane. Do not sell a blended Valley stay.

Occupancy was 43.0 percent. Revenue per available night was $78. Year over year is minus 5.3 percent. Active supply moved plus 14.6 percent. A prior hub brief printed $23,184 on about 815 listings in an older window. This pass uses the current extract.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much did typical Spokane listings earn last year?

Typical Spokane listings earned about $21,989 last year from 826 active rentals, per AirROI's trailing twelve months from August 2025 through July 2026. Average night was $178, occupancy was 43.0 percent, revenue per available night was $78, and revenue moved minus 5.3 percent year over year while active supply grew plus 14.6 percent. An earlier hub brief cited $23,184 on about 815 listings from an older extract window -- this figure reflects the current pull. Keep Spokane Valley and Cheney figures on their own separate lines.


When is Spokane's strongest month?

June is the busiest revenue month, with August and May also running strong. January is the slowest, and occupancy dips lowest in July. Confirm current dates and figures with the city before publishing a seasonal pitch, since this reflects listing activity rather than an official calendar, and keep any Spokane Valley or Cheney figures off the city's caption.


Do I need a Spokane STR permit in 2026?

Spokane's short-term rental page (Ordinance C36702, SMC 17C.316.040) lists a $200 application fee with $100 annual renewal in residential zones, and $300 application with $150 renewal in other zones. Contact the City of Spokane Development Services Center at 509-625-6300, 808 W Spokane Falls Blvd, to confirm current terms before advertising -- AirROI's low-regulation label reflects a listing scrape, not the town's actual permit file.


Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy?

No. 213 listings, or 25.8 percent of the 826 active Spokane rentals, set a 30-night minimum booking window, which is a listing setting, not a measure of how full the calendar actually runs. Typical stay length is still 5.4 nights with about 41 days of lead time, and January remains the slow month regardless of minimum-stay settings.


Should I hire a manager in Spokane and on the satellites?

Professionally managed listings hold 18.2 percent share in Spokane. Spokane Valley and Cheney are separate markets that reward their own dedicated marketing copy -- Cheney in particular suits EWU-weekend positioning rather than a downtown Riverfront pitch. Buying one blended pitch across all three occasions dilutes each.


Who books a Spokane rental?

Most guests arrive from Seattle, then from within Spokane itself, with a typical stay of 5.4 nights booked about 41 days out. Urban guests are drawn to Riverfront Park and Gonzaga for a real city trip, Valley guests are booking a genuinely separate city, and Cheney guests are typically booking an EWU campus weekend rather than a downtown stay.


Can I use Spokane Valley's numbers as the Spokane year?

No. Spokane's average night was $178 across 826 listings, while Spokane Valley listings earned about $20,909 on the current AirROI extract (this pass did not print a Valley listing count). Keep the $21,989 city figure on its own line rather than blending it with the Valley's separate market.


What is Spokane's residential STR application fee?

The city's STR page lists a $200 application fee with a $100 annual renewal in residential zones (higher fees apply in other zones). Call the Development Services Center at 509-625-6300, 808 W Spokane Falls Blvd, or apply through the city's Accela portal, and confirm current 2026 figures before listing since fee schedules can change.


What should a buyer packet include for a Spokane STR?

A buyer packet should cite the $21,989 typical revenue figure across 826 city listings, note that active supply moved plus 14.6 percent while revenue moved minus 5.3 percent year over year, and list the Development Services Center contact at 509-625-6300. Keep Spokane Valley and Cheney figures on separate lines rather than folding them into the Spokane total, and leave Cheney's revenue unlabeled rather than inventing a figure the extract didn't name.


Where do I confirm current STR rules for Spokane?

Call the City of Spokane Development Services Center at 509-625-6300, visit 808 W Spokane Falls Blvd, or apply through the city's Accela portal. AirROI's regulation label is a scrape of listing behavior, not an official rule reading, so confirm directly with the city before advertising.
