When the economy picks up and people start apartment hunting again, I suspect they'll also start booking Airbnbs again.

  And a lot of hosts will have been forced to liquidate some of their holdings before then.

    My prior is that a similar number of units will wind up back on that market once demand picks back up. Demand might not pick back up, or Airbnb hosts might be more cautious in the future about going all in on Airbnb, but if people want Airbnbs, the market will probably provide them.

      I’m sure some people will want to buy up units for dedicated short term rentals, but the question is whether they’ll be allowed to. The politics of this has been discussed to death, but I can’t help but wonder if banks will be unwilling to allow their borrowers to get quite so heavily leveraged going forward in the short term rental space.
