What stands out in Albany?
Albany's largest departure from the 34-region median is its bedroom mix: 1-bedroom homes are 50.6% of its bookable entire homes, the highest share of the 34 regions, against a median of 32.5%. They quoted a median $151 a night.
- Albany's calendar had room: 66.6% of October nights and 78.8% of December nights were still open to book when Inside Airbnb collected it on 16 September 2026 (34-region medians 51.2% and 74.1%).
- Hosts with two or more listings run 74.7% of Albany's bookable homes, against a 34-region median of 62.0%.
- Albany is small enough that its studios (fewer than 10 near-term quotes) and its homes with 4 or more bedrooms (24 quotes) print no price percentile.
What is the listed nightly price of an Airbnb in Albany?
The listed nightly price is the asking price of a near-term stay at a bookable entire home, net of host discounts and before taxes and fees: what a guest was quoted, not what a guest paid.
UpRev's count puts the median near-term quoted price of a bookable entire home at $185 a night; the middle half of quotes ran from $131 to $261, and the top tenth started at $350. By size, the median runs from $151 for 1-bedroom homes to $276 for 3-bedroom homes. 1-bedroom homes are the largest group, 50.6% of its 332 bookable homes, and 28.3% of its near-term quotes carried a host discount.
| Bedrooms (of 332 homes) | Bookable homes | Share of homes | Homes with a near-term quote | Quotes with a discount | 25th percentile | Median | 75th percentile | 90th percentile |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 11 | 3.3% | fewer than 10 | - | too few | too few | too few | too few |
| 1 | 168 | 50.6% | 119 | 32.8% | $108 | $151 | $190 | $218 |
| 2 | 83 | 25.0% | 57 | 19.3% | $149 | $193 | $260 | $299 |

| 4+ | 29 | 8.7% | 24 | 16.7% | too few | too few | too few | too few |
| All | 332 | 100.0% | 237 | 28.3% | $131 | $185 | $261 | $350 |
332 bookable entire homes, 237 with a near-term quote; the percentiles are of that quote's nightly price, net of host discounts and before the quote's tax and fee lines; too few homes for a price percentile, which needs 30 near-term quotes: studios (11 bookable homes, fewer than 10 with a near-term quote), homes with 4 or more bedrooms (24 with a near-term quote); snapshot of 14 September 2026, collected 16 September 2026.

How many nights are still open to book in Albany?
Open nights are the calendar nights a host still offers to book, as Inside Airbnb collected them. A night that is not open may be booked or blocked by the host, and the calendar does not say which, so a low share open is not proof of demand on its own.
As Inside Airbnb collected it on 16 September 2026, UpRev counts 66.6% of October nights at its bookable homes still open to book, 75.5% of November nights and 78.8% of December nights; a night that is not open may be booked or blocked by the host, and the file does not say which. For December, 3-bedroom homes had the most nights open (88.0%) and studios the fewest (22.0%).
| Bedrooms (of 332 homes) | October nights open | November nights open | December nights open |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 49.0% | 27.9% | 22.0% |
| 1 | 67.6% | 77.0% | 81.8% |
| 2 | 64.5% | 74.8% | 74.5% |
| 3 | 66.6% | 79.9% | 88.0% |
| 4+ | 73.5% | 80.8% | 82.0% |
| All | 66.6% | 75.5% | 78.8% |

What is the estimated occupancy of an Airbnb in Albany?
Estimated occupancy is Inside Airbnb's own review-based model, run by UpRev with each region's average stay. It is an estimate built from reviews, not a count of bookings, and it reads low because a review follows check-out.
Inside Airbnb's review-based model, run by UpRev with the 3-night average stay Inside Airbnb sets for the region, gives its bookable homes an estimated occupancy of 24.9% on average over the 75 nights from 1 July to 13 September 2026; the median home sat at 16.0%, 16.0% of homes reached the model's 70% cap, and because reviews follow check-out the figure reads low. By size, homes with 4 or more bedrooms had the highest estimated occupancy (30.9%) and 1-bedroom homes the lowest (23.6%).
| Bedrooms (of 332 homes) | Bookable homes | Reviews in the window | Estimated occupancy, mean | Estimated occupancy, median | Homes at the 70% cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 11 | 53 | 24.4% | 24.0% | 18.2% |
| 1 | 168 | 604 | 23.6% | 16.0% | 14.3% |
| 2 | 83 | 301 | 24.7% | 16.0% | 13.3% |
| 3 | 41 | 173 | 26.6% | 8.0% | 19.5% |
| 4+ | 29 | 135 | 30.9% | 24.0% | 27.6% |
| All | 332 | 1,266 | 24.9% | 16.0% | 16.0% |
Estimated occupancy of the 332 bookable homes, 1 July to 13 September 2026 (75 nights): each review in the window counts as two stays of 3 nights, or of the listing's minimum stay if longer, capped at 70%; an estimate, not counted bookings; snapshot of 14 September 2026, collected 16 September 2026.

Who runs Albany's short-term rentals, and on what terms?
Inside Airbnb's snapshot holds 500 listings, 70.4% of them entire homes, and UpRev counts 332 of those as bookable. 74.7% of these bookable homes are run by hosts with two or more listings in the region; the median minimum stay is 1 night, 3.9% ask for a minimum stay of 30 nights or more, and 84.3% were reviewed in the last 12 months.

How does Albany compare with the 34 short-term rental (STR) markets in the data?
UpRev's benchmark sets the region's 332 bookable homes beside the median of the 34 US regions Inside Airbnb covers, each read from its own snapshot of 14-30 September 2026; the regions' calendars were read on different days, so the shares of nights open compare calendars at different distances from each month.

What changed in Albany since the snapshot before?
Between Inside Airbnb's snapshots of 16 June 2026 and 14 September 2026, UpRev counts bookable entire homes going from 322 to 332 (3.1%) and the median near-term quoted price from $180 to $185 ($5, 2.8%); the June quotes were for stays checking in during June, so the price change crosses seasons: two snapshots, not a trend.
| Measure | June snapshot (322 homes) | September snapshot (332 homes) | Change | Change, relative |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Median near-term quoted nightly price (237 quotes in September) | $180 | $185 | $5 | 2.8% |
| Bookable entire homes | 322 | 332 | 10 | 3.1% |
| Run by hosts with 2+ listings | 76.4% | 74.7% | -1.7 pts | - |
| Median minimum stay (nights, 332 homes in September) | 1 | 1 | 0 | - |
| Minimum stay of 30 nights or more | 4.0% | 3.9% | -0.1 pts | - |

How does UpRev count Albany?
Bookable entire homes, 332 of them, from Inside Airbnb's snapshot of 14 September 2026, collected 16 September 2026. Estimated occupancy uses the 3-night average stay Inside Airbnb sets for the region, with which the model reproduces Inside Airbnb's own per-listing estimate on 500 of 500 listings in this snapshot and 490 of 490 in its June snapshot of 16 June 2026; too few homes for a price percentile, which needs 30 near-term quotes: studios (11 bookable homes, fewer than 10 with a near-term quote), homes with 4 or more bedrooms (24 with a near-term quote). How we count: see the method page.
