Airbnb Market Analytics & Investment Insights
Yes, with caveats. Pittsburgh’s Airbnb market posts a median annual revenue of $32,009, with median occupancy at 44% and ADR of $169 (Chalet data). STRs remain legal with a Residential Housing Rental Permit, but pending 2026 legislation could tighten zoning and licensing.
Top-quartile operators see upside to $44,885. However, supply expanded +28.1% year-over-year, intensifying competition. For compliance details, see [Pittsburgh STR regulations](/rental-regulations/pittsburgh-pa).

Quarterly average across active listings
Score a specific Pittsburgh address against revenue, occupancy, and yield benchmarks.
Pittsburgh's ADR rises 55% from Feb ($120) to May ($186), but occupancy rises 2.7× in the same window. The revenue lever here is occupancy capture, not pricing — set rates competitively in shoulder months to maximize summer bookings, then push ADR aggressively in peak months when demand is inelastic.
