Short term rental owners say clients booked their rentals up to half a year before the Gem Show and say their profits go up in the weeks leading up to the show.
TUCSON, Ariz. — The saying goes “home is where the heart is”, and that’s exactly the kind of environment Bree Richmond and Claude Bailey IV, the owners of Short Term Rentals Tucson, want to create.
They own 4 rentals and have a total of 13 listings across Tucson and Oro Valley. They’ve been experiencing a surge in sales this week and last week, and said the Gem Show brings a lot of customers to their rentals.“Some of our listings are a little newer. As soon as we listed them though, the days got snatched up right away,” Richmond said.
Even though they raised their prices, they said traditionally, their sales go up the highest out of the entire year the week leading up to the show and the week before.They said they also get the most customers when the University of Arizona has events like Homecoming or parents weekend.“You get to interact with a bunch of different type of people,” Cazares said about her clients.
