Sandvue Market Research
Short-Term Rental Market Reports
We actively study cities where short-term rental rules, permit supply, and neighborhood-level constraints can materially change an investment thesis.
Explore covered marketsOur purpose
Clear investment insight from complex local data
City short-term rental data is often published across dense spreadsheets, permit tables, maps, meeting records, and ordinance updates. Sandvue brings those pieces together in monthly snapshots and annual reviews so owners and investors can understand what changed, where constraints are binding, and what deserves closer diligence.
Research, not a prediction. Our reports organize public information and explain local context. They do not guarantee that a permit will be available for a particular property.
How the research works
A consistent process, adapted to each city
Every city publishes different measures and follows different rules. We keep the research process consistent while using a reporting model designed for each local market.
Normalize
Convert inconsistent municipal releases into a stable city and local-area dataset, with each source snapshot preserved internally.
Compare
Measure the locally relevant changes—such as permit availability, waitlists, license counts, or geographic constraints—without forcing every city into the same formula.
Interpret
Explain what the numbers and rules may mean for property research, while separating estimates from official determinations.
Current coverage
Cities Sandvue currently supports
Each supported market includes a city research hub and dated local data. Coverage reflects what each city publishes; area guides, maps, rules guides, and annual reviews are added where the evidence supports them.
