In this episode of Mountain Real Estate, Candice De sits down with Daniel Leifeld of Key Data to unpack what’s really happening across Colorado’s vacation rental markets heading into ski season.

Using direct-source reservation data (not scraped listings) from Key Data, Daniel breaks down occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, booking windows, and demand drivers for Summit County, Vail, Aspen/Snowmass, Steamboat, Telluride, and more.

Whether you’re a buyer, homeowner, or property manager, you’ll learn how to evaluate deals, price smarter, and avoid the #1 projection mistake.

We also cover how DMO marketing, inventory mix, and Easter timing impact bookings—and why demand for STRs remains extremely high.
