San Diego’s rental market has long been known for its strength, offering property owners steady income and high demand. However, even in this robust market, some landlords find themselves asking a tough question: “Why isn’t my property renting?”
At Penny Realty, we’ve been hearing from puzzled landlords facing this very challenge. Despite San Diego’s reputation for a healthy real estate market, recent shifts in rental demand have changed the game. Rents across the county have declined between 3% and 7% year-over-year, according to industry reports, with many landlords resorting to incentives like “two months free rent” to attract tenants.
This new reality means property owners must adapt to stand out and secure quality tenants. Here’s what’s happening and how you can turn things around. While San Diego remains one of the best real estate markets in the country, landlords need to navigate this temporary slowdown with strategic adjustments. Watch this quick video on these latest updates!

As we move through 2024, the vacation rental market has presented a unique set of opportunities and challenges for property owners. The market remains vibrant, but several key trends have emerged that are important to monitor in order to maximize the success of your rental property.
Rising Demand Paired with Rate Adjustments
This summer, there has been an uptick in overall occupancy rates, which saw a 6% increase compared to last year. However, this increase in demand has been met with an interesting counterbalance: average daily rates (ADR) and revenue per available night (RevPAN) have both seen slight declines, dropping 3% and 4%, respectively.
Beyond Revenue Management
What does this mean for property owners? It’s essential to continue capturing bookings, but understanding that consumers are more price-sensitive this year. Dynamic pricing strategies have become crucial for staying competitive without undercutting the market. Owners who leverage real-time pricing adjustments based on local supply and demand will likely see better overall performance, especially during high-traffic periods.
Shorter Booking Windows
One of the biggest shifts in guest behavior is the shorter booking window. More travelers are booking at the last minute, sometimes within days of their desired stay. This means being agile with pricing for last-minute availability can be a game-changer. Offering promotional rates or flexible cancellation policies can help capture these spontaneous bookings.
Rural and Unique Destination Growth
A notable trend that continues from last year is the growing popularity of rural and off-the-beaten-path destinations. With travelers seeking more secluded experiences, properties in these regions are seeing more bookings. If your rental is in a less touristy area, highlight its unique, quiet appeal to attract those seeking a break from busier spots. Investing in special amenities or curated local experiences can further capitalize on this trend.
Technology as a Growth Driver
Another key discussion is the role of technology in driving efficiency and revenue. Modern vacation rental management tools now provide everything from real-time rate adjustments to competitor monitoring and customized pricing strategies. By leveraging data-driven insights, owners can better anticipate market conditions, respond to local trends, and optimize their income potential.
Protecting Your Investment
Finally, it’s essential to remember that higher occupancy and shorter booking windows may lead to more frequent turnovers, so keeping your property well-maintained is key. Damage insurance coverage up to $25,000 is available for each reservation, which provides peace of mind while allowing for a seamless guest experience.
In conclusion, 2024 is proving to be a dynamic year for the vacation rental industry. Owners who stay agile, utilize data-driven pricing, and invest in unique guest experiences will stand out in this competitive landscape. Make sure to continuously adapt to these trends to ensure the best possible return on your property investment.
